Vegetarian Star

The NBC4 Going Green report highlighted the best of 2009 DC Veg Fest.

Author Rory Freedman was present to sign copies of her book co-authored with Kim Barnouin, Skinny Bitch.

“Every single vegan I know started off saying, ‘I could never give up meat’ or ‘I could never give up cheese.’ We all started off saying that and now we’re the biggest proselytizers out there because it’s the best…food has never tasted so good.”

Watch the clip above to see Rory and highlights from the festival.

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.

Blink-182 is on their highly anticipated reunion tour, with 50 U.S. dates set up.

Guitarist Tom DeLonge plays the role of multi-tasker, also having a side musical project, Angels and Airwaves, and a shoe company, MacBeth, which features trendy vegan shoes for both men and women.

“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”

Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.

The rest was history.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, First Lady of France and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, enjoyed vegan fare from Candle Cafe at an event intended to honor her for her work with Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Carla was accompanied by her husband and Jordan’s Queen Rania.

The party was hosted by Peter Chernin and Tom Freston along with his wife, author Kathy Freston, who happens to be vegan.

Other guests included Brian Grazer, Charlie Rose, Christy Turlington and Howard Schultz

Carla is already fur-free, as she announced this several months ago.

Will the delish vegan food from Candle Cafe make her want to go meat-free as well?

Nothing’s better than sharing the good news of vegan food.

Travis McCoy got The Ghost to try a vegan buffalo wing and we think The Ghost is converted.

“I got Ghost to a vegan buffalo wing! And the verdict: “These shits bang shen!!!!!”

We think that means they were delicious, tasty, bad ass, etc.

Women have quite the control over men.

Thom Yorke went vegetarian because he wanted to impress some cute chick.

And actor Woody Harrelson said he went vegan because a woman told him it would clear up his pretty face.

“The first thing was dairy,” Harrelson told Maxim magazine.

“I was about 24 years old and I had tons of acne and mucus. I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those symptoms would go away three days later. By God she was right.”

That lady should be asking for royalties, considering all money Woody’s made from his beautiful clear face.

Quite a radical change from a former burgers and steak man.

“It’s been at least 20 years. I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward; I had to give it up. ”
