Vegetarian Star

Has one of our favorite vegan actresses fallen to the scoop?

During an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, Jake asked Natalie Portman what her favorite food was.

Natalie said she not only loved “Carvel Ice Cream,” but there was no way you could make it any better.

PORTMAN: Well, I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake.

GYLLENHAAL: I’m more Baskin-Robbins style myself.

PORTMAN: Oh really? I am so Carvel. Did I just bring us back to 1985 Long Island?

From the dialogue provided, it looks like Natalie was thinking back in the days…when she still ate dairy.

1985? Wasn’t she still sporting her training wheels while eating that Carvel ice cream?

What do you think? Is Nat milking the cow while she listens to obscene hip hop music?

We’d hate to think so, given the fact there are so many vegan ice cream brands out there.

Hilarious!

Chrissie Hynde is normally quite calm, but still opinionated when sharing her views on vegetarianism and animals.

We think all the excitement from one of her recent performance made her a little less inhibited.

In Toronto, Chrissie grabbed the mic and yelled:

“Meat eaters, go [expletive]yourselves.”

Fiona Morrow at theglobeandmail.com wanted to keep her column clean.

You can fill in the blank as to what you think Chrissie said.

Poor Chrissie had to say something after she smelled something coming from the barbecue stand.

Wonder why she didn’t just ban meat like she’s done before?

You’ve probably heard by now that PETA has replaced it’s controversial “Save The Whales” billboard featuring an obese woman with one less offensive, but still advocating vegetarianism.

Talk show host Montell Williams recently sat down with PETA’s president Ingrid Newkirk to discuss the billboard.

Williams’ questions whether PETA went too far.

MW: Ingrid, you have admit, come on, I’ve got it, you were controversial, you hit your home run, it went out of the park, I’m talking about it for three days. And the rest of America is going to keep talking about it. But the truth is, I think Joseph is right. Any child who would use that as a reason, or anybody who now says ‘those fat people are people who pick on animals,’ come on, we’ve got to slow down a little bit.

IN: I wish more than anything you can ever imagine that we could not be controversial, and we could not be provocative. I really do.

Montell even suggests why not make it equal opportunity and put men on the billboard versus targeting women.

His daughter, Wyntergrace, is veggie.

Maybe he’s afraid one day she’ll get naked for a campaign!

County and state fairs are the hub for vegetarian food, right?

Ha!

And Jimmy Dean makes soy sausages.

Unfortunately fairs are often filled with greased bathed, crusted delicacies of beef, pork and chicken, not to mention all the sugar that would give even a non diabetic problems.

Imagine how out of place raw vegan Jason Mraz felt while playing for the Indiana State Fair recently, where there are copious amounts of midwestern farm exhibits (live pigs, cows-which sometimes are placed near beef samples. How rude!) in addition to your standard meat fare.

When a reporter asked him about resisting all the “tempting” foods, Jason answered, “No problem. I think I missed the pig races as well.”

However, we shouldn’t stereotype fairs, as the ISF has plenty of corn on the cob (this is Indiana, remember. Corn is like, the official state vegetable) and last year’s fair had, you guessed it, fried broccoli, onions, and other wholesome veggies.

Have you attend a local fair that surprised you with the amounts of vegetarian or even vegan foods?

Note: The writer of this post has lived in Indiana and attended the state fair once. Hence, the sarcasm. No offense Hoosiers.

With the debut of Wyntergrace Williams‘ primetime TV ad to promote vegetarian lunches in school, tofu is going mainstream, baby!

Both actor Tobey Maguire and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone have been riding Congress’ tails to make changes to school lunches.

Biz is a vegan and Tobey’s almost one too!

Between the two men who want to put veglovin’ back in lunchtime, who would you rather…

Have you driven down the street lately to find your favorite restaurant closed shop because of the bad economy?

Less bank money in the bank means more visits to your home kitchen, which sadly can force many businesses to make their last supper.

Luckily for Chrissie Hynde, the vegan restaurant she opened in 2007, The Vegiterranean, is still standing strong.

“We’re about breaking even, which is really good for a restaurant.,” Hynde said. “My only interest in it is the cow protection and also to bring life back into the downtown.”

Great food and word of mouth is what has kept her doors revolving and the ovens burning.

The Vegiterranean name is often dropped in the veg community for things like awesome faux chicken sandwiches, burgers that put beef to shame, and not to mention its superstar of a co-owner.

But Chrissie never intended to be a big shot.

“I always say I have no ambitions. But that is my ambition.”

Moby just kicked off a series of concerts meant to help raise climate change awareness, the “Play to stop – Europe for climate,” a joint venture with MTV and the European Commission.

When Moby asked Al Gore why he didn’t include going vegetarian in the documentary on being green and saving the planet, “An Inconvenient Truth,” he got an “honest” answer.

“I asked Al Gore about why he didn’t mention this in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ [as animal production is responsible for more greenhouse gases than every car, bus, truck, bus, plane and boat on the planet combined]. He answered honestly, basically saying that getting people to drive a hybrid car isn’t that difficult. Getting people to give up animal products is almost impossible. I appreciated his honesty.”

But wonder how many part time vegetarians could have been created if the diet was a least brought up sometime in the film?

Perhaps if those that label themselves environmentalists really knew the truth about the waste of resources and gas emissions from cows in the fields, they’d be motivated to at least stop eating meat for a day or two a week.

We’ll never know.

Olivia Munn recently Tweeted about her experience eating vegan pizza.

The Attack of the Show! co-host doesn’t appear to have enjoyed the experience.

“Eating vegan pizza with Kevin. Note to self: vegan equals poo.”

We don’t know what Munn put on her pizza, but maybe it was the chef’s cooking  skills that were “poo,” cause vegan pizza is definitely delish!

If you’re looking to pop something in the oven for your quick fix, Amy’s Kitchen has several options, including a non dairy rice crust with soy cheese and a cheeseless roasted vegetable variety.

If do it yourself thrills you, pick up some Follow Your Heart, Vegan Rella, or Teese Vegan Cheese at the grocery or health food store.

There are dozens of options for toppings.

Poo doesn’t have to be one of them.
