Vegetarian Star

Katie Holmes will play a staunch vegan named Mary Powell who earns the love interest of meat eating co-worker Louis Ives (Paul Dano) in the new film, The Extra Man. Since the two are both working for an environmental magazine, it’s only fitting that Louis reduce his meat intake too–heck, even if it’s only to win Mary’s heart.

When he’s not sneaking looks at Mary, Louis spends his time with Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), an aging playwright who’s agreed to take Louis under his wing and rent him a room in his rundown apartment.

Watch the trailer below.

Farmville

Farmville, a Zynga game offered as a Facebook and iphone app which simulates different aspects of farming, does not depict a true image of most farms, with its smiling animals roaming freely around green, idyllic pasture settings. But the game is getting into the greener side of things, offering users a chance to grow organic produce.

Farmville has partnered with Cascadian Farm organic food brand to teach users about organic farming, raise awareness in support of organic farmers and offer coupons for products.

Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the Old Spice Man in the deodorant’s commercials, recently Tweeted about going on a vegan diet and asking if anyone who knew how to cook it.

Mustafa just might smell even better than Old Spice once he replaces steak, chicken and cheese with seitan, pasta and tempeh. A study showed ladies judge the body odor of a man fed a vegetarian diet to be “significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense.”

Women who’ve dated omnivores and vegans, chime in! Did your vegan men smell just as good as the veggie stir fry cooking in the kitchen?

Rufus Wainwright is well into his vegetarian conversion, except for the occasional slip here and there at the seafood restaurants in New York.

“I’ve become a vegetarian, and I’m adjusting,” Wainwright told the New York Post when he rambled off a list of his favorite eating spots in the area. “I admit, I have succumbed to in my vegetarian state occasionally, but don’t hate me.”

Luckily, there is Provisions Natural Foods Market and Organic Cafe in Sag Harbor to counteract all that fishy karma.

Zac Brown of the country music Zac Brown Band must have heeded PETA’s advice when it suggested months ago he offer vegan food at the band’s “Eat and Greet” sessions.

If you recall, the band, who’s famous for their song “Chicken Fried,” initially responded to the request on Twitter with a “Dear PETA – Plants are living creatures too… Bacon had a mother but so did Pickle. It takes life to support life – welcome to the planet.” Moments later, another Tweet surfaced that said, “Chicken is the new tofu.”

Now, Zac Brown is boasting his new spicy, ginger marinade is vegan. What’s next? Seitan Fried Steak.

Ozzy Osbourne has joined us by embracing a mostly vegetarian diet, but he doesn’t have the kindest words to say about organic food prices.

“If you can feed a big family a bucket of KFC for 10 bucks then you’ll do that. Not everyone can afford the healthy, organic shit they say were meant to eat.”

He’s got a good point. Chowhound did a little experiment to assess the cost difference between eating conventional and eating organic on a week’s worth of groceries. The total cost of the conventional shopping list came to $136.31 while the cost of the organic totaled $199.78–about $65 more.
