Vegetarian Star

Relax, Al, they’re not asking you to give up something else for over a month.

Environmentalist Al Gore is being asked by PETA to go vegetarian for 30 days.

Today during one of the signing events for his latest book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, Gore is being met by an almost naked (of course) activist dressed as Mother Earth.

Don’t ever recall any of our mothers dressing that provocatively, but oh, well.

“More and more, we are hearing about the damage that meat production does to our water supply, the forests, and the global climate,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said.

“In light of these reports, we are asking Mr. Gore simply to try going vegetarian for 30 days. During that time, he could save eight animals’ lives and maybe even his own!”

Gore has already reduced his meat intake and agrees that vegetarianism should be embraced more by those who have an interest in preserving the planet.

Martha Stewart on Rachael Ray Show

Martha Stewart was set to appear on The Rachael Ray Show today to dispel rumors the two are kitchen divas in competition and discuss both of their love for cooking.

Topics of discussion included Martha’s favorite type of music (rap, yo) and why her daughter Alexis Stewart, is a vegetarian.

“Well what I think one of the catalysts was, we raised our own livestock and we had these sweet little lambs,” Martha explained. “And one day I decided Plantagenet was gonna go, and so I served Plantagenet for dinner, and I told my husband and my daughter that the rare pork chops were cooked perfectly in the French style. And Alexis looked at me and said this is not pork this is Plantagenet isn’t it? That was one reason.”

And no wonder Martha invited Snoop Dogg to her show to make mashed potatoes.

“Oh I like rap! I like rap, we play rap. When you come to the show, you’ll see. You’ll see! Oh yeah. Rap is fabulous, and it’s the liveliest thing for the audience… Rap is big!”

So when is Martha getting jiggy with the tofu like her daughter?

Daryl Hannah and Ginnifer Goodwin are both showing some serious love for turkeys this Thanksgiving.

Ginnifer is the star of Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey ad and says she fell in love with a turkey named Magnolia on the sanctuary grounds.

Daryl will be spending her Thanksgiving with turkeys at the Animal Acres Sanctuary this year, enjoying a vegan feast among her fair feathered friends.

Between the two turkey lovers, who would you rather…

Mark Bittman, the vegan until dinner flexitarian advocate, recently discovered joy in creating Ma Po Tofu without the pork.

He described his experience in the New York Times:

“First I started a batch of the mixed grains. Then I slow-cooked about 20 of the peppercorns in oil (I was too lazy to grind them, another alternative), with three dried chiles. I removed them when the oil was fragrant (no one wants to bite on a peppercorn). Into that oil, I stirred about a quarter cup of the bean paste, which I realized for the first time is a cousin of miso.”

“I tasted the tofu thing, and added both soy sauce and salt. I scooped some grains in the dish – thanks to the black and brown rice and black sesame seeds they looked vaguely like pork (as it happened; no planning there, but I’m not lying either) – and topped it with the tofu mix. And the thing was so good I made it again two days later.”

Sounds like Mark learned being vegan at dinner’s not so bad either.

If you’re looking to attempt vegan ma po tofu, try this recipe any time of day.

Ginnifer Goodwin has confirmed her Thanksgiving meal this year will be a Tofurky.

No surprise, considering she’s the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’

Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.

Don’t forget you can have your own badass turkey for only $25 through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program.

Stella McCartney was one of 11 women named Glamour Woman of the Year this week.

Stella received the award for both her clothing enterprise and her work as a vegetarian and animal activist.

“I’ve never really paused,” she told Glamour. “If I had time to stop and think about what I was doing, I might have run for the hills!”

Glamour cites Stella as refusing to use leather and fur in her designs long before green and ethical became chic.

Other women of the year include Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Jane Aronson of Worldwide Orphans Foundation; journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee held captive by North Korea and released; Marissa Mayer of Google; the One Million Signatures Campaign that calls for an end to gender inequality in Iran; comedian Amy Poehler; Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; singer Rihanna; California First Lady Maria Shriver and tennis athlete Serena Williams.

How do you plan to spend Thanksgiving?

Tortured at a relative’s house eating side dishes because they always fail to accommodate you?

Making your own tofu turkey for the first time?

Daryl Hannah plans to spend the day with a few turkeys, and we don’t mean foolish people either.

She’ll be at Animal Acres Sanctuary in Acton, California.

“They do an Adopt a Turkey day — rather than slaughter a turkey you adopt a turkey and feed it, and they have a nice, big vegan dinner too.”

Animal Acres is home to chickens, cows, pigs and all sorts of critters, but did you know they can also pronounce you husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife).

That’s right, there’s no need for Vegas, because you can get married at Animal Acres and receive the assistance of their staff for set up and clean up, recommendation for vegan caterers and even a sanctuary tour.

If you choose the goat to be the best man, they cannot mediate family disputes.
