Vegetarian Star

“Eight years ago, I read [Eric Schlosser’s] Fast Food Nation. It brought my attention to the gigantic machine that abuses animals and the people who work in the industry. And my dad was vegetarian, so I didn’t grow up with the stigma people attach to it: that you’ll become anemic, or have trouble walking up steps.”

—Seamus Dever, actor who plays detective Kevin Ryan in the ABC series Castle, in an interview published in the September 2012 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Actor Alan Cumming (The Good Wife, Spykids, X2: XMen United, Nightcrawler) has a featured interview in the November/December 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times where he discusses his rescue dogs, blasting fur-wearing Broadway and what he wished he would have told the Queen about using synthetic bear fur for the guards’ hats.

“A few years ago, I signed a petition asking the queen to stop using bearskin for those helmets [worn by Buckingham Palace guards] that tourists take pictures of. I didn’t get a chance to say this to the queen, but she should use a nice synthetic fiber for the helmets.”

We hear Stella McCartney is working on that.

Peter Max has been drinking a mixed fruit and vegetable drink regularly for the past 12 years, according to Vegetarian Times.

Max discovered the drink created by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, after meeting the physician.

“He used to call it Salad in a Glass,” Max said.

The official name for the liquid salad is “Dr. Fuhrman’s Green Longevity Drink” which consists of blended greens, fruits and seeds.

Vegetarian Times magazine had the chance to do a Q & A with Alicia Silverstone for the holiday November/December 2009 issue.

As expected, Alicia had much to say about her new book, The Kind Diet, including the resources she used to provide data on the benefits of a plant based diet.

Alicia cited several well known vegetarian authors for The Kind Diet references.

“I can’t remember if it was Dr. Neal Barnard who blew my mind first or if it was John Robbins. I learned so much from Dr. Barnard’s books Food For Life and Foods That Fight Pain. John Robbins himself gave me a copy of The Food Revolution, which was his next book after Diet For a New America. I love how he lays it all out: “Here’s what they tell us and here’s the truth.” My newest hero is Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who wrote The China Study.”

You can read the entire interview with Alicia in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times on the stands now.

Vegetarian Times hosted their 2009 Dining Out Awards and nearly 700 readers voted for restaurants based in different regions of the U.S and several specialty veg restaurants like Most Eco-Fabulous and Totally RAWsome.

Chrissie Hynde’s Vegiterranean won “Most Promising Rookie.”

Several other restaurants made the cut, including The Chicago Diner for the midwest. If you recall, the diner is where Ellen DeGeneres went gaga over the vegan seitan hot wings and had some Fed Ex’d to her studios in California.

Peter Max’s fave, Candle 79, won the category for the northeast.

To find out what veg restaurants in your part of the country you should be visiting, pick up a copy of the April issue of Vegetarian Times.
