Vegetarian Star

Lindsay Lohan is seriously considering PETA’s offer to go vegan if they help her pay for rehab.

The animal rights group had agreed to pay her $10,000 if she went vegan during rehab, and another $10,000 if she stayed vegan for the entire year, which would cover a little less than half of her tab of $53,000 at the Betty Ford Clinic.

According to Radar Online:

“Lindsay is seriously considering the offer from PETA. There is thoughtful consideration about PETA’s very generous offer. Lindsay loves animals, and looks at it as a ‘win-win’ since being a vegetarian is a healthier lifestyle that she is striving for.”

“Farm animals are smart, friendly animals who experience fear, pain and suffering just like cats, dogs and all other living beings do. The cruel conditions endured by billions of farm animals annually on factory farms all across North America is an issue that affects all of us. As a proud Brooklyn native who believes all animals should be treated with compassion, I am honored to be back in my hometown leading the 2010 New York City Walk for Farm Animals.”

—John Salley, basketball legend who hosted the 2010 Farm Sanctuary Walk For Animals.

Haven’t already entered to win Cooking Light Way To Cook Vegetarian? What are you waiting for?

If over 400 pages and 700 color photos of vegetarian and vegan recipes from the editors of one the most respected cooking magazines around isn’t enough to convince you, how about the assurance that they’ve researched the veggie diet enough to know not to offer salads on every other page. Included in the book is a section on 7 Healthy Eating Principles for a Vegetarian Diet. As a bonus, we’ve reprinted them with permission.

1. Think about protein. You can easily meet your daily protein needs by eating an array of plant-based foods. Fill out your meals with beans, lentils, nuts, rice, and soy products like tofu and tempeh. Don’t rely on a hefty portion of cheese to fill the protein gap since cheeses often add saturated fat.

2. Consider calcium. Vegetarians can meet their calcium requirements by including calcium-rich dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt) in meals and snacks. If you’re lactose intolerant, a vegan, or simply want to incorporate other nondairy sources of calcium into your diet, you have options: fortified breakfast cereals, soy products and some green leafy vegetables.

3. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, more matters (and color counts). Whole fruits and vegetables are some of the best foods you can eat. And color is certainly key—the vitamins and phytochemicals that give plants their brilliant colors work as antioxidants, immune boosters, and anti-inflammatories in humans.

Actor Alan Cumming (The Good Wife, Spykids, X2: XMen United, Nightcrawler) has a featured interview in the November/December 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times where he discusses his rescue dogs, blasting fur-wearing Broadway and what he wished he would have told the Queen about using synthetic bear fur for the guards’ hats.

“A few years ago, I signed a petition asking the queen to stop using bearskin for those helmets [worn by Buckingham Palace guards] that tourists take pictures of. I didn’t get a chance to say this to the queen, but she should use a nice synthetic fiber for the helmets.”

We hear Stella McCartney is working on that.
