Vegetarian Star

Carrie Underwood revealed some interesting facts about herself in a recent edition Cosmopolitan magazine.

Most of you already know the American Idol country music sweetie has been a longtime vegetarian, even though her parents work as cattle ranchers.

But just because she eats vegetarian, doesn’t mean she cooks it.

“It’s bad..real bad,” she said of her culinary skills.

Carrie still sticks at the diet though, partially because she feels it makes her have a less negative impact on the environment.

Another interesting fact: Carrie said in a relationship, she wears the pants and “over analyzes” everything.

Maybe she’ll tighten the belt buckle and start putting the rules down for fiance Mike Fisher and ask him to do Meatless Mondays.

With her fantastic cooking skills, she’s sure to keep him straight by offering the same dish of boiled pasta every week.

Some say a man’s top loves are cars, food and women.

At Lloyd Motors Alfa Romeo showroom in the UK, chef Aldo Zilli brought almost all of them together.

Zilli, who recently opened a vegetarian restaurant in the Soho area of London, was there to prepare a dish of ravioli stuffed with wild mushroom, sundried tomato and goats cheese in an arrabiata sauce.

Audience members got a chance to ask Zilli about his cooking and restaurant and left with a signed copy of his latest cookbook.

Zilli enjoys the event because it also promotes Alfa Romeo cars.

“I have seven older brothers who all had Alfa Romeo cars when I was growing up. When I got married I got an Alfa Romeo – hence the reason I got married twice,” he joked.

Zilli has performed cooking demonstrations in the car showrooms before and said it’s good for the company because they end up selling a few cars that day.

Full bellies must bring on multi-thousand dollar purchases!

Sea Shepherd Tour poster

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s star flagship, the Steve Irwin, will be docking in New York city from April 23-May 3 to rest between its Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign and prepare for its upcoming bluefin tuna one.

Tours of the boat will be given daily from approximately 10AM to 3PM and the crew will also be taking donations for their upcoming trip to fight blue fin tuna extinction.

From looking at the items in demand list, this crew knows how to eat vegan in style!

All donated items must be vegan, and the crew is especially in need of things like tofu, coconut cream, tahini, vegan cream cheese and vegan mayonnaise and nutritional yeast.

You can view all of both their priority and staples donation lists at Supervegan.

As expected, volunteers are needed for the tours.

“Earth Crisis is one of my favorite bands ever. They are the reason why I am vegan and straight edge. The origins of most of my philosophical/political beliefs come from them introducing me to a whole new way of thinking. When I was asked to fill in on the upcoming tour, I was beyond stoked. It felt like being called up to the major league, and I think that this will be the most fun I will have on a tour. Be sure to come check it out because this is a band whose songs beat in my heart and who have never forgotten how to write brutally awesome songs.”

—Andy Hurley, on how the vegan, straight edge metal band Earth Crisis changed his life. Hurley will be joining the band that promotes animal rights and a vegan lifestyle shortly after it starts up its next tour on April 22.

Mad Cow movie

Mad Cow will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17 2010.

The movie depicts an experiment gone wrong, as a scientist creates a half-man, half-cow creature that goes on rampage in this zombie/horror flick.

A vegetarian waitress turns into a weapons expert and teams up with detective Vince Chopper to battle Mad Cow in a variety of scenes.

Will she be forced to kill the creature she gave up eating?

“We loved the Mad Cow concept and knew we wanted to do this film. Mad cow is the perfect film for Cannes because, in addition to being wildly entertaining, it reminds us all that underneath the hilariously funny lies something perverted and deranged,” said Jason Rogan, one of the film’s producers.

Some fun trivia:

1. The writer of “Mad Cow” Michael Wright, wrote the first draft of the screenplay in a barn to get in touch with his inner moo.

2. The cast went to a boot camp at a dairy farm so they could get in touch with their inner moo.

“Mad Cow” is definitely a play on words of the terrible diseases associated with eating contaminated beef.

Wonder if any allegories about the downsides of the dairy industry will be touched on as well.

Laura Ingraham hosted In Defense of Animal’s Hope Bohanec and the two discussed San Francisco’s recent declaration of observing Meatless Monday in the city.

Ingraham called the movement “elitist” and suggested other issues such as workers’ wages were more pressing.

While it’s true that economic problems may be a great threat now, promoting less meat certainly isn’t subtracting any funds or time devoted to those issues, as the movement is being promoted by small groups devoted to the interest and no one is being taxed for their hamburgers.

Hope mentions that eating just two meals a week vegetarian has a greater environmental impact than buying all food locally.

Ingraham responds with data of her own, saying the whole methane gas from cow farts study was exaggerated.

Watch the debate and decide for yourself.

Spiderman could have taught you to make szechuan tofu.

Actor Tobey Maguire originally wanted to be a chef, according to his IMDB profile trivia.

His mom gave him $100 to take an acting class instead of home economics in high school and the rest is history.

Tobey might have been aspiring to walk in his father’s footsteps, as Vincent Maguire worked as a cook when he wasn’t busy with construction.

The world may not have lost a great chef after all, as one only has to look at another vegetarian thesbian, Alicia Silverstone, to see that actors and actresses can play many roles well, including the one of cookbook author.

The cooking community is ready for another vegetarian male chef to accompany Bryant Terry and Tal Ronnen, and “Spiderman Does Soba,” would sure make a hit with vegetarians and those who are health conscious.

The almost vegan Tobey once said, “It’s never really been that hard for me. I’ve never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that.”
