Jorge Garcia

Who says a New Year’s celebration is not the same without cheeseburger mini-sliders?

Jorge Garcia, former “Lost” actor who went vegetarian for animal rights, took to his blog to show off pictures of his vegetarian sloppy joe mix that he finished off with churros and wine.

“New Years at our house is usually pretty quiet. Dinner is always Sloppy Joe’s and Tater Tots. But this past New Year’s Eve night we made two batches of Joe. Because I had mine meatless.”

Can you tell from the picture which one is Jorge’s?

Brandy Norwood

Brandy Norwood (singer Brandy) has been rumored to be vegetarian, but according to a feature in US Magazine on celebrity New Year’s resolutions, Brandy is thinking of taking her diet a step further and give up eggs and dairy. Again.

“Just being healthier,” Brandy said. “I’m going to try to go back to being a vegan.”

Sounds as if she’s been down this path before.

If a diet change involving animal products is your New Year’s resolution, you may want to do it, excuse the pun, “cold turkey,” according to Reid Hester, director of research at Behavior Therapy Associates.

Ginnifer Goodwin

“I would assume that it helps, in that I consider myself an extremely healthy person. But I know that’s sort of contradictory to the fact that you go to the South and all vegetables are deep-fried! I really did go through a period when I was very little when I remember realizing that vegetables did not come out of the ground deep-fried.”

“I changed my eating habits in fourth grade because I was a heavy little girl, and I was unhappy. And I remember my mom making dinner for me the first night that I was on this new program, and I burst out crying because the vegetables were green, and I thought she was trying to starve me to death.”

—Ginnifer Goodwin, to CNN on how being from the South affected her learning to live healthy. It’s one thing to know where veggies come from–another to learn how to cook them properly! That’s why we recommend reading Rodale’s 5 Ways to Cook Vegetables without Losing Their Nutrients.

John Salley is starring in a brand new PSA produced by the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine that encourages a plant-based, vegan diet to prevent and treat diabetes, “Block Diabetes.”

According to Salley in the PSA, 1 out of 3 children will develop Type 2 diabetes in their lifetime.

The PCRM conducted a study, along with George Washington University and the University of Toronto with funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation, which found patients with Type 2 Diabetes had better improved blood sugar levels, lost more weight, and improved cholesterol levels more when they followed a vegan diet than when they followed one suggested by the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) guidelines, which allows meat and dairy in certain amounts.

Fans that follow Anne Hathaway‘s diet (by reading about it, not snooping through her trash for DNA-laced wrappers you can sell on eBay) know she’s rumored to be an on again/off again vegetarian and vegan.

As of last May, she was roasting chicken. But a recent interview with Metro reveals she’s back on and standing up to the peer pressure of sushi.

Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Authors@Google discussion covers all the points you would expect from the younger generation’s father of factory farming education on how everyone should reduce their meat intake–from less livestock emitting gases into the environment to the public health crisis being created by the use of so many antibiotics on farms to the cruel and painful ways animals are treated.

You can’t read through Eating Animals, read an interview or listen to a speech by Foer without realizing you should at least partake in Meatless Monday. But what about those who are afraid to call themselves the big “V” word in fear of criticism when they fail?

Earth Balance vegan butter and Spectrum vegetable shortening are Kim’s preferred switches for the pie, but she was nice enough to give other vegan baking suggestions during her interview with EcoStiletto.
