Eating Meat Got You Down? - Photocall

Chantelle Houghton stands outside the largest wholesale meat market in the UK, Smithfield, next to her PETA vegetarian ad that associates eating meat with erectile dysfunction.

The ad reads “Eating Meat Got You Down? Fight Impotence. Go Vegetarian.”

Will this message keep male buyers walking past the market?

Washington Nationals at Philadelphia Phillies

PETA has announced the top vegetarian friendly major and minor league baseball stadiums for 2010.

The veggie hot dog stands at Citizen’s Bank Park were so popular, the stadium added extra lines for them, in addition to a black bean burger. Is this why the Philadelphia Phillies’ home won first place in the major leagues?

“It’s hard to say whether the Phils’ biggest off-season acquisition was ace Roy Halladay or the new faux chicken sandwich and vegan rice crispie treats offered at concession stands. Added to other meat-free fare, including veggie burgers, Southwestern black-bean burgers, veggie dogs, faux steak sandwiches, veggie chicken steaks, mock crab cakes, hummus and pita chips, and fresh fruit, Citizens Bank Park is the first undisputed dynasty in the history of PETA’s prestigious rankings.”

Makes you wanna eat there even if you hate baseball.

Victoria Beckham is a diva when it comes to her vegetables.

The former Spice Girl reportedly sends her managers running left and right to satisfy her demands for fresh produce before each and every photo shoot gig.

An example of what Beckham requests from Gossip Center:

“Chopped fresh fruit – cut pineapple with grated lime peel, green seedless grapes, red grapes (frozen), cut-up pear with lemon juice, apples, peeled pink grapefruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Please DO NOT MIX up the fruit but keep separate.”

The pescatarian is even picky about what store things are purchased from.

Robin Quivers was a guest at Candle 79 during a film with Linda Long, food photographer and author of Great Chefs Cook Vegan.

Howard Stern’s co-host lost 70 pounds by going on a vegan diet that she’s stuck with long after the pounds were gone.

Candle 79 is a vegan restaurant in New York City’s upper east side that features gourmet meals like seitan over pasta, black bean burgers with polenta fries and dairy-free, egg free chocolate desserts. A chef is on hand to explain how nut cheese is made, by soaking macademia or cashews in water for several hours and then blending to a cream consistency.

Quivers’ favorite dishes at Candle 79 are the steamed dumplings and seitan picatta. Quivers can’t enough of healthy, plant and fruit drinks as opposed to soda and discusses a recent study she’s heard about that found two sodas a day increased the risk of pancreatic cancer.
