Vegetarian Star

Christie Brinkley was fortunate enough to go veg before she bit her teeth into a McDonald’s hamburger.

When talking with Shape Magazine, the model who is just four years shy of 60 revealed her only experience was a french fry and a taste of shake. Both of those ended badly.

Shape.com: You’ve never had McDonalds?

Christie: “Never. Never ever in my whole life. I’ve never tasted McDonalds or Jack in the Box, because I was a vegetarian before those ever existed. I’ve tasted one of their French fries, pure grease, and I’ve tasted one of their malts. Yuck. I don’t even like the taste of it. I don’t like the film it leaves behind on my tongue. It just doesn’t feel good to me at all.

Vegetarian or vegan food at fast food establishments doesn’t restrict you to french fries (which, sometimes, like the case of McDonald’s, still aren’t vegetarian thanks to the addition of items like “natural beef flavor”).

Taco Bell’s refried beans are vegan and getting an item without cheese and sour cream can provide a fulfilling, quick meal for a vegetarian or vegan.

[picappgallerysingle id=”9790928″]So former NFL player Eric Johnson and Jessica Simpson are engaged, with an expected wedding date by the end of the year. Terrific! More importantly, however, is the expected date that Eric will open his chain of vegan fast food restaurants!

From E! Online:

“His new one is a plan to start a fast-food vegan restaurant in L.A. and eventually expand them across the country,” says a pal of the couple. “Jessica’s supportive of everything he wants to do, so she’s into it.”

Sure, she may be the queen of dispensing advice on eating right on a vegan diet, but Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman used to be a junk food lover, as she reveals in this latest video during an interview with PETA.

“I’m the girl who used to eat fast food every single day of my life,” Freedman says.

Veganism should be about health, but that doesn’t mean it always needs to be the brown rice and kale Freedman is getting cozy with in the camera. Veggier versions of desserts and vegetarian fast food restaurants are popping up around the globe.

Denny's All Nighter

Veg Brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte recently made vegetarian and vegan burritos at Denny’s in Los Angeles!

The burritos will be available on Denny’s Allnighter Rockstar Menu.

Yes, Canadians may have their KFC vegan faux chicken sandwich, but now folks in the U.S. have another veg option in a traditionally fast food restaurant.

Since Benji and Joel are both known and outspoken vegetarians as well as known rockstars, who better to choose to be the poster boys of veg Denny’s?

The Rock Star Menus were created when Denny’s allowed musicians like Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls, and Hoobastank into the kitchen (dangerous, we know) to cook up what they like to chow down on after hours.

Benji and Joel’s creations will be featured on the third Rock Star Menu, which is launching this summer.

Men with guitars are sexy enough. Men with guitars who can cook are almost too much to handle. 

You can view more pics of the Madden brothers in Denny’s Kitchen over at Denny’s blog.
