Vegetarian Star

“[Being vegan] changes everything. First of all your looks. You don’t need any expensive creams anymore because you skin, hair and fingernails just look better. And you lose weight – without the yo-yo effect.”

“Before I became vegan I didn’t even know how good I could feel. I don’t have mood changes that much anymore and I am much fitter. You became more sensitive in a good way and you pay more attention to your body.”

—Alicia Silverstone, during an interview with the German edition of Grazia magazine. You’ve heard Alicia’s story. Now it’s your turn. How has going vegan changed your life?

Time‘s “Ecocentric” blog has covered Farm Sanctuary’s 25th anniversary gala in the tastiest of ways.

Bryan Walsh had the pleasure of attending the gala and sampling the vegan food that was created in a joint effort by David Lee, founder of vegan meats Field Roast, and Paolo Dorigato of Cipriani in Manhattan where the celebration was held.

Walsh is an omnivore, but if he had someone to prepare the meal he ate last weekend, especially the Field Roast Porcini Dijon Crusted Cutlet, he might reconsider eating real meat for good.

When we first brought you the news of Ginnifer Goodwin turning her back on veganism, it wasn’t the worst day in the world, as she professed to use humane eggs and still appeared to be vegetarian.

However, after viewing the footage from her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, it appears the former VegNews cover girl–to put it in the words of a hit movie she starred in–is just not that into vegetarianism either.

Goodwin confessed to Kimmel to not just eating eggs, but animal flesh–meatloaf, burgers and salmon.

She may be doing some sort of “vegetarian in the home outside of the home screw it” move, as Goodwin told Kimmel “my house is humane. That makes me feel less hypocritical”

In 2009, she was the ambassador for turkeys. In 2011…we hope she won’t turn into a Gwyneth Paltrow during Thanksgiving.

The video of Ginnifer on Kimmel can be viewed below.

According to the Chicago Tribune, McDonald’s will use one million cage-free eggs, but it doesn’t specify the time period those eggs will be purchased or whether the practice will begin immediately or be phased in.

As you can probably guess from the title of this post, that’s not a veggie burger Glenn Beck is stuffing himself with.

During a trip to Israel, Beck ended his vegan diet with hamburgers and ice cream.

Although he originally adopted a standard vegan diet for health reasons, according to his post on glennbeck.com, it appears he also was trying to eat raw for a certain period of time.

US Weekly recently featured an article on vegan actresses.

Quotes from big stars like Lea Michele, Olivia Wilde, Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson and Jenna Dewan Tatum were included.

“I started going vegan, and I never felt better,” Dewan said. “I lost water weight and slimmed and toned down without having to do as much.”

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

—Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Charlotte Ross and Colbie Caillat have both lent their faces to some important animal welfare campaigns lately.

Ross is encouraging the passage of legislation that would retire chimpanzees in invasive medical research labs while Caillat fought for all mother dogs during Puppy Mill Action week which ended Mother’s Day weekend.

Between the two stars promoting Humane Society campaigns, who would you rather…
