Vegetarian Star

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that makes us nervous because Gwyneth Paltrow is probably refining her turkey patty recipes in her otherwise pretty much vegetarian household.

However, Gwyneth is reportedly learning about the effects of the food we eat and the environment, so maybe she will rethink her decision to celebrate with birds that are usually factory farmed and killed in the most painful manner.

How is Gwyneth becoming educated?

Through porn.

From her website, Goop.com (the “SEE” section if you’re into following her ridiculous Goopy plan):

“For comic relief, Green Porno on Sundance Channel is now in its third season of deadpan puppet shows by Isabella Rossellini. I’ve learned a lot more than I want to about reproduction in the animal and insect kingdoms. This season, the third so far, has an especially eco-friendly and equally hilarious bent, showing, in the simplest of terms, where the fish we eat come from and the effect mass fishing has on the environment.”

If you’ve ever wondered how creatures get it on, Isabella gives you all the sexy details, dressing up in costume to reenact the “act.”

Why rent a movie in the adult section when you stay at home with yourself and Isabella?

As Gwyneth stated, Season 3 touches on farmed ocean life and overfishing.

Here’s a link to Isabella’s video on the Anchovy.

Anchovies are on the Marine Conservation Society Fish to Avoid list, so try an extra veggie topping on your pizza next time, pescatarians.

Weezer "Raditude"

Weezer has new album out, Raditude, and we think it sets a very bad example for the love sick vegetarian fool.

The song, (If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To, (as if the long winded-ness of that title wasn’t enough), has some poor dude eating meat in hopes he’ll get to some base with his girl.

“I took you to Best Buy, you took me home to meet your Mom and Dad
Your Mom cooked meatloaf even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team”

Ugh!

This we learn after reading a Tweet describing Rivers Cuomo‘s amazement at veggie burger technology.

We’re wondering if Cuomo sat quietly like a veggie pus and actually ate meat during a date with an omnivore before.

All we can hope for is during the next dinner date, the “If you’re wondering,” guy made an announcement he’d just turned vegetarian.

And that this flying dog voluntarily played hurdle track star for the cover.

Raditutde features a singing collaboration with Lil Wayne (Can’t Stop) and songwriting input from The All American Rejects, Jermaine Dupree and Jackknife Lee.

Alicia Silverstone spoke with the Wall Street Journal about her book The Kind Diet.

It’s no secret eating healthy isn’t always cheap, but when you compare the cost of good produce now to cardiac problems and other food related diseases later in life, you’ll find the investment pays off.

Alicia gave some tips on making a healthy, vegan diet work, even if you’re on a budget.

WSJ: Sometimes organic and specialty foods can be more expensive. Do you have any advice for people on a budget?

Alicia: You can do this and this will be cheaper – unless you’re eating at Mc Donald’s everyday. I cant argue with that, cause that’s just cheap. I think it can be a lot cheaper because steak and meat are really expensive. When you start shopping at a local farmer’s market, the food is really inexpensive because it’s in season. At the end of the day, after you take away all of the nasty foods and add the good foods, your grocery bill will level out.

“Nasty” foods being processed, sugar filled-usually things that are already prepared, thus costing more money anyway.

Ginnifer Goodwin is showing some Big Love for her turkey co-star in this Farm Sanctuary ad for their Adopt-A-Turkey Program.

“Turkeys are smart, friendly animals,” Ginnifer begins. “Sadly, millions are killed and eaten every Thanksgiving. This year, celebrate the holiday by saving a life.”

Farm Sanctuary’s turkey adoption program is only a one time donation of $25 and will cover the cost of letting one turkey live happy and free on the sanctuary grounds.

You can also purchase gift certificates for friends and family.

PETA has published its annual list of most vegetarian friendly football stadiums and the Oakland Raiders came in first place with their home turf at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

“Delicious, cholesterol-free vegetarian food could help offset JaMarcus Russell induced chest pains among Raiders fans and prevent the need for quadruple bypass surgery,” says PETA Director Dan Shannon. “The best way that people can sack potential health problems and hit pay dirt for animals and the environment is to choose vegan foods every chance they get.”

JaMarcus fans have no excuse for downing artery clogging foods, as the Raiders’ stadium serves veggie burgers, veggie dogs, burritos and salads.

Some of our favorites include Tony Gonzalez‘s Atlanta Falcons‘ Georgia Dome, which features baked five-spice seasoned tofu, curried grilled tofu cutlets and soba noodle stir-fry.

Wow. Is this a stadium or an upscale restaurant?

For the Mediterranean football lovers, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Heinz Field offers hummus.

Next year we’re hoping they add some falafel to go along with it. And some belly dancers who…oh, never mind that’s another male bonding form of entertainment.

For the entire top 10 list of most veggie friendly NFL stadiums, visit peta.org.

Redwood Foods

The recently acquired by Heather Mills Redwood Wholefood Company has been named UK’s Most Ethical Vegetarian Food Supplier for the 4th year in a row.

Four years a winner?

Must be like the intense pressure of keeping a 4.0 GPA.

The Ethical Company Organization (ECO) lists the maker of vegetarian foods in its latest edition of The Good Shopping Guide, an ethical reference book.

Redwood received a 91% in its Ethical Company Index, which was the highest score received based on the company’s policies and actions towards the environment, human rights, and animal welfare.

“Concern for the environment, human rights and animal welfare has always been at the heart of everything Redwood does,” Heather said. “We pride ourselves in offering the very best in ethical meat-free foods that help people adopt a kinder, more compassionate lifestyle.”

“I’d particularly like to thank the incredibly loyal and conscientious employees at Redwood, who believe passionately in all that they do, for their endless support and enthusiasm, because they have made the company what it is today.”

Linda McCartney Foods and Quorn are other vegetarian brands featured in the guide, but received lower scores than Redwood.

Erin McKenna has scored a deal for her second cookbook, titled Babycakes Covers the Classics and Other Food Fantasies.

McKenna is the founder and owner of BabyCakes NYC, a popular bakery for celebrities and mere unknown everyday mortals which features sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan desserts.

McKenna’s second book will make you ooze with agave syrup as she plans to include donuts, pancakes, Girl Scout cookies and even mac and cheese.

McKenna’s first book, BabyCakes : Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, was such a great hit, she’s not getting away with any free time soon if her editor has anything to do with it.

Says McKenna on her blog:

About 37 seconds after “Babycakes” the cookbook came out I was cradling it my arms like a newborn. Just then my editor, Aliza Fogelson, phoned and the conversation went something like this:

Aliza: Hey Erin! The book is doing great, congratulations!
Me: Thanks!
Aliza: How about writing another one?
Me: No
Aliza: Yes
Me: No
Aliza: Yes
Me: Ok

Babycakes Covers the Classic and Other Food Fantasies will be published by Clarkson Potter.

Stephen Glover, aka Steve-O “Jackass” is featured in the latest edition of Campus Talk magazine.

It may as well been called the Stephen Glover Veggie Files, because Steve’s interview is all about his vegetarianism.

Now that’s what we call an education.

Here are a few excerpts:

On Eating Meat and the afterlife:
In 2008 I came across a YouTube video that basically scared me into believing I was going to go to Hell if I kept eating meat. After that I became a pescetarian and the only meat I ate was fish. I figured if Jesus was down with eating fish then I could too. I’ve since become completely vegan.

On Not So Animal Friendly television stunts:
I remember PETA having an issue with the first stunt I ever did for Jackass where I swallowed the Goldfish and then puked it back up. There were actually a few situations on Wildboys that compromised my morals but for the most part we made sure Wildboys was a very animal-friendly show.

TMI about that Cruelty Doesn’t Fly Video:
The commercial for the fur campaign was really a lot of fun. Not many people can say they’ve been stripped searched by Pamela Anderson. The crazy thing is when we were shooting I had a big poop stain on my underwear which was kind of embarrassing.

Oh, Steve. You could have spared that last bit of information.
