Vegetarian Star

Joan Jett‘s real last name is Larkin and there are a lot of Duffys in her family, according to a recent article in the Irish Times.

Yep, you can go ahead and kiss her!

It’s a good assumption that Joan doesn’t partake in the traditional Irish meals of stew made from lamb or mutton, bacon and cabbage, and coddle (pork sausages and rashers).

If you’re kissable like Joan, or at least thinking of visiting the country, Irish Vegetarian, is a must stop for ideas for restaurants, health food stores and lodging. It also includes recipes.

Don’t forget you can veggie most Irish meals at home with faux meats, like the “Beef” and Guinness Stew made with seitan. There are also several already vegetarian Irish dishes that often contain cabbage and potatoes as a main ingredient.

Constance Marie says the nursery for 16 month old Luna Marie is 90% green.

“I am not perfect — 90 percent was all I could do. Every bit counts!” Marie told People’s Celebrity Baby Blog.

Marie is constantly looking for ways to make that 90% a 91, 92 or even higher by reading Greenopia, a one stop guide to everything green from household products, foods, pet products, jewelry and product ratings.

Marie’s main targets for greening the baby’s room included the paint, which was low or no VOC, the mattress–made with natural rubber, and clean air.

Bif spoke with the Ottawa Citizen about her own raw vegan lifestyle, which currently doesn’t transfer to her husband she calls “the bacon boy,” or the formerly vegetarian dogs Bacon Boy corrupted.

“They were vegetarian dogs before I met Ian Walker,” Bif said. “When Ian Walker moved into my apartment my dogs started eating little pieces of butter chicken, much to my chagrin.”

Bourbon Barrel Foods

Friday at 9PM the Discovery Channel will feature Kentucky based Bourbon Barrel Foods in an episode of How It’s Made. The company makes soy sauce from Kentucky grown, non GMO soybeans, soft red winter wheat, and limestone filtered Kentucky spring water. The soybean is aged in repurposed bourbon barrels.

Besides using local ingredients and used materials, Bourbon Barrels has a Worcestershire sauce that is vegetarian! If you didn’t know already, most Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies and are definitely not veggie friendly.

“Getting the chance to be on this show, I was beside myself,” Bourbon Barrel Foods owner Matt Jamie told the Louisville Kentucky Courier Journal.

Prince "Ebony"

How does a man in his 50s stay so slim and wrinkle-free all while retaining his chick magnet status? Must be the locally grown veggies.

“You know, a lot of people talk about, “we should do this” or “we should do that”. Well, we actually follow those footsteps by making the world’s most biodegradable album using all recyclable materials, printing with soy ink, using a corn plastic disc tray… and then we took it a step further by doing green “off the grid” performances where we’re rerouting the standard power sources with biodiesel generators and using alternative energy. On the animal front side of it, I’ve done a lot of work with organizations like PETA, Farm Sanctuary, Last Chance for Animals, and the Humane Society. I’ve actually gone as far as being on the Senate floor in Boston to try and help pass laws with those organizations.”

—Corey Feldman, during an interview before a recent concert in Seattle, Washington.

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has stepped up his veggie eating game and gone completely vegan!

The once vegetarian who was a big loser in his cholesterol numbers–100 points–after dropping meat recently told VegNews that dumping all animal products from his diet has improved his health even more.

“I enjoy living a plant-based diet because it makes me feel clear headed and strong, not to mention my genetically high cholesterol dropped more than 100 points. That was all the motivation I needed.”

Harper, who has criticized high animal protein diets as a way to lose weight, recommends Biggest Loser contestants either follow a vegetarian diet, or one that is mostly plant based while competing on the show.
