In-N-Out Secret Vegetarian Menu And Oatmeal Tacos (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 25th, 2011 in Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants, Videos.

In-N-Out supposedly has a secret menu that is not so secret.

Okay.

After Patch discussed their experiences with ordering off the covert menu, CNN repeated the experiment to see if they could get world class customer service by ordering and receiving items like, “Flying Dutchman,” “Rootbeer Float,” and “Animal Style Fries.”

It worked.

On that secret menu includes a veggie burger, which isn’t really a burger, but vegetables between a bun. There’s also a grilled cheese–basically the same as the veggie burger but the cheese is melted.

Not bad for a fast food establishment. But can we do better? In the words of the current U.S. president, “Yes, we can!”

Natalie Portman

When Benjamin Millepied went looking for an engagement ring for Natalie Portman, he wanted stones that reflected the actress’ values.

So he went to a designer that provided him with a band containing conflict-free stones, Jamie Wolf.

“Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right,” Wolf told InStyle. “We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie.”

Accordng to Instyle, the stone is an antique and the pave diamonds are certified as conflict-free, meaning they were sourced from an area that has been declared free from many human rights violations, including child labor and violence.

Butter London 3 Free

A British cosmetic company called Butter London is releasing a limited edition nail lacquer symbolizing Kate Middleton‘s long wait before finally agreeing to tie the knot with Prince William.

“Waity Kaity” will be part of Butter London’s “3 Free” collection, meaning it, like all of its lacquers, does not contain three chemicals found in traditional lacquer that are suggested toxins–formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (Phthales).

Butter London is also a vegan-friendly company which has taken the time to formulate other products without chemicals like parabens, such as “The Master,” “The Mistress,” and “The Madam.”

Def Leppard

Phil Collen has been rocking with Def Leppard since the 80s. At 53 years old, he can still drive the band’s female fans into “hysteria” when he’s seen photographed with his shirt off. This weekend, you catch Phil giving a presentation on exercising and healthy eating at the Los Angeles Fitness Expo. Last week, we gave you a preview of our exclusive Q & A with Phil. Here’s the rest of his story.

On Reasons For Going Veg
I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons. The idea of eating dead bodies made me feel ill. With a simple progression towards being healthier and healthier now I’m currently ‘almost’ total vegan (no eggs or milk) although I do dip into the chocolates on occasion.

Green Living  At Home With Wife Helen
Well, we don’t drive a Prius, but we don’t go around spraying aerosols into the atmosphere and throwing cans and bottles down the gutter. It’s really a common sense issue. Recycling is a given—doing it and using recycled products. We use hemp products too.

Tofu, Tempeh Or Seitan
We [he and Helen] do them all.

Favorite Exercises
Muay Thai Kickboxing training and weight workouts. I also have a spin bike that I’m on all the time.

Eating Healthy On Tour
I eat pretty basic on tour. You can find great vegetarian dishes in different cities. I have a Panini grill which is great for grilling tofu and veggie burgers. I drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit and nuts too.

Kate Middleton Could Use Peace Silk Wedding Fabrics

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, January 24th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Fashion.

Kate Middleton

With Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s wedding approaching soon, many fashion enthusiasts are speculating about the details of the dress.

The UK Daily Mail predicts it will be silk and raises questions about the ethics of such material.

If you’re the extra sensitive vegetarian who puts the ladybug you find on the organic strawberries outside in the grass or still feel guilty that harvesting plants inadvertently kills insect and rodents, you of course treat silk like leather, wool and fur, where the worms that produce it are usually boiled or roasted while inside the cocoon. One figure estimates there are 6,600 worms killed for every kilo of silk harvested.

But there is an alternative and perhaps Middleton will take advantage of it.

In a new video from the satirical news network, “The Onion,” a (fake) FDA official has the solution to saving America’s health.

Just eat some f*cking vegetables every once in awhile, okay? That’s all there is to it.

“You just buy a bag of f*cking carrots and you eat them the way you normally would eat a package of hot dogs. Okay? If you usually stand in front of an open fridge shoving them in your fat face cold. Well, then just do that with a carrot.”
