Vegetarian Star

Actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. will be the Keynote speaker at the Carnegie Science Awards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this Friday.

Ed plans to tell everyone to get involved with science, as awareness of the discipline can help the environment tremendously.

“If we had a good scientific awareness … I think the environment would fare better,” Begley said, according to pittsburghlive.com.

He cited numerous activities he took up to save money as a young adult that inadvertently lessened his environmental impact, including going vegetarian, riding a bike, and recycling. Doing these activities, he claimed, can really help you “move up the ladder.”

“When you save money from that, as I did, then you can move up the ladder and maybe buy some attic insulation, double-pane windows or a rain barrel,” he said. “It took me 20 years to be able to afford solar panels.”

Go veg now and in the next 20 years you might be able to show off your flashy solar panels to your envious neighbors.

So we never have enough posts for the guys. Vegan cosmetics, fashion, and girly stuff often dominates the site, but as of today dudes, no more complaining.

Feast your eyes on Ida Ljungqvist, the 50th Playmate of the Year, as well as the first African-European to take the honor.

Although the meat on her body is in all the right places (hey, don’t call us sexist, it’s for the guys), she doesn’t put any into her body.

“I’m a size zero. But I carry my weight in the lower body, so I exercise moderately and I’m a vegetarian,” she said, according to Foxnews.com. “I take Bonnie my Chihuahua hiking with me a lot and I do lots of walking. But I’ve never believed in pushing it too hard. It should never be a chore to exercise; you have to enjoy it or else don’t do it all.”

This little lady is also brilliant. She speaks three languages fluently-English, Swedish and Swahili-and has traveled with her Swedish father across the globe to work with UNICEF.

No, we don’t have her number. Please don’t email us for it.

Last week, this young lady went to Capitol Hill to ask Congress to get their act together and make sure vegetarian lunches are on the menu at public schools.

“Some of us don’t eat right,” says Wyntergrace Wiliams, daughter of Montel Williams. “Fast food, junk food-sometimes even our school lunches have too much fat and cholesterol.”

Now you can embed this video and make it spread faster than an Internet hoax to spread the news on getting everybody to sign the petition to give kids healthier school lunches in the classroom.

Because the only thing worse than a bad grade on a report card is mystery meat on your plate.

Actress Jorja Fox hung out with the folks at GreenWithGlamour.com for their seasonal celebrity photoshoot and the crew enjoyed munching on vegan goodies, like curried mango and tempeh sandwiches.

Jorja was a multi-tasker that day as after the photo shoot she put on PETA t-shirt to pose for yet another photo campaign, this time to end the clubbing of Canadian seals.

Back to that tempeh recipe…Yum, yum, yum.

These sandwiches sound pretty simple to make, with chunks of mango and sliced scallions tossed into a pita with tempeh cubes and a dressing containing vegan mayo, curry, and lime.

Not to mention a nice food porn picture to give you something to salivate to. 

Visit greenwithglamour.com to view pictures of Jorja from the photoshoot.

And please let us know how your tempeh sandwiches turned out!

“I was asked today ‘Are you a vegan or a vegetarian?’ and I said, ‘I’m vegan’ and a lot people call that ‘pure’ vegetarian. I don’t call it that because it sounds as if you have to go to church and you can’t drink and that would cripple my lifestyle terribly because in my work you sometimes need something to comfort you, and it’s not necessarily church.”

—-Ingrid Newkirk, President and Co-founder of People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) during a recent speech at Kent State Stark campus. Wonder what else Ingrid uses to comfort herself during hard times? We’ll say vegan chocolates are probably high on the buddy list.

Brigitte Bardot is the latest celebrity to get in on the debate between pigs and swine flu.

The actress turned animal rights activist has publicly denounced the Egyptian government’s plans to cull 250,000 pigs to help combat the swine flu epidemic, which some have linked to factory farming of the animals.

In a letter to Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak, Bardot wrote:

“Taking advantage of the global hysteria over the propagation of ‘Mexican’ flu, which has nothing to do with animals, in order to launch a campaign to exterminate pigs raised by a destitute section of the population is extremely cowardly.”

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah recently interviewed with the UK Times Online and revealed when he visits China, he’s often challenged in several ways, including his vegan diet. 

“When I got to China I found I was being challenged in really interesting ways. For instance, I always believed that everybody in China had only one child. But I kept meeting people with six children. And it’s challenging being a vegan in China, like I am — but the best vegan restaurant I’ve come across in the world is in Beijing.”

Sure wish Benjamin had mentioned that awesome vegan restaurant in Beijing. It might come in handy for some of you international travelers.

Have you had any overseas veg dieting challenges?
