Vegetarian Star

If you run the vegetarian author book club in your neighborhood, your group is going to be busy!

Weird Al Yankovic has just released his long-awaited children’s book, When I Grow Up, a story about an 8-year old boy who hasn’t chosen a “major” yet in life, and has all sorts of wild stories about the potential careers he may attempt.

Jane Velez-Mitchell‘s Addict Nation tackles the serious adult issue of addiction to all things that feel good, but wreak havoc on our health.

Between the two veg authors, who would you rather…

Today in the world of shocking news, a reporter from Celebrity Baby Scoop learns that hamburgers are made from beef, which comes from dead cows.

The blog interviewed Weird Al Yankovic, who’s just published the children’s book we told you he was working on, When I Grow Up.

When asked why he became a vegetarian, Weird Al said, “Many years ago I found out something about hamburgers that really grossed me out. You may not know this, so I hope I don’t make you sick, but it turns out hamburgers are actually made out of dead cows. I am not making this up. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered that, I gave up meat entirely.”

Weird Al Yankovic has been spotted at Green Leaves Restaurant in LA. From vegan-la.com:

“I know people aren’t fans of Green Leaves, and neither am I after hearing about the problems. This sighting was before I knew about the unfolded drama on Green Leaves. My wife and I spotted Weird Al Yankovic eating at the West Hollywood location. I hadn’t known he was vegan, maybe he isn’t. He had a baseball hat on…who knew you could get all that hair under a baseball hat.”

The “problems” at Green Leaves refer to some independent tests done that suggested some of their vegan food contained casein and eggs.

Weird Al’s first book, When I Grow Up, has been acquired by Harper Collins.

A description from a press release says, “With gleefully dizzying wordplay, an exuberant eight-year-old tells his patient teacher and amazed classmates about the astonishing variety of humorous and inventive careers he plans to pursue when he grows up.”

“I’ve always wanted to write children’s books,” said Yankovic. “And now, it’s not only a goal, it’s a contractual obligation.”

When I Grow Up is due for release in Winter 2011.

Will Weird Al be spending lots of time on his laptop in vegan restaurants until then?
