Vegetarian Star

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

Jesse Eisenberg plays Columbus, Woody Harrelson‘s character Tallahassee‘s sidekick in Zombieland, as the two find creative ways to survive in a world run by zombies.

Eisenberg realizes good nutrition is essential even if you’re not hiding from zombies in an amusement park, so he takes Woody’s advice and follows a vegetarian diet like his co-star.

“I’ve admired him for many years,” Eisenberg said. “I work with a few animal rights organizations, I’ve been vegetarian for five years and I was vegan for a year. I’m not a vegan right now, but when we were filming I ate all the same food he ate.”

Of course, the whole zombie plague happened because of bad hamburgers, you know.

“At first, we weren’t sure if people would be interested in knowing the back story. And then we did the test screenings of it and realized people actually want to know where it came from.”

“So the final verdict is that it’s now like a mad cow disease. It came from contaminated hamburger, which is good because it has some kind of possible practical implications toward the food industry. Woody is really happy with that because he’s a strict vegan.”

The next time you drive by a burger joint, watch out.

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. ”

We briefly touched on the fact that Woody Harrelson turned Zombieland into a more environmentally friendly set during its shooting.

Now we’re learning more details on how Woody used his vegan eco powers to make the set a little greener.

Director Ruben Fleischer, who Woody convinced to eat veg during the filming, has revealed to WENN:

“He practices what he preaches and made us all aware. I’m far healthier since knowing him. He’s very persuasive.”

“He eats raw food and vegan items, so he had a chef making delicious things for him every day that he shared with me and the rest of the cast that was healthy and delicious.”

“One of the requirements for him doing the film was that we have a green set as much as possible. All the silverware was metal that could be washed and reused, as opposed to just thrown away.”

“If we did use plates or cups or glasses it was all biodegradable. We didn’t use plastic. Instead of having plastic water bottles, which he sees as a huge environmental threat, we had big coolers and everybody on the set got their own jug that they could refill.”

Wonder if Fleischer and the cast continued the veg and green efforts once the shooting wrapped up.

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.

This lovely photograph captures Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson vacationing in Italy on a raft titled, “Wet and Wild.”

The pic conjures up all sorts of ideas in our minds, but one that particularly sticks out is what the two boys are saying to each other in the tangle.

Given the fact Owen was spotted getting takeout at a popular vegan restaurant, and now he’s hanging out with the fanatical raw vegan foodie Harrelson, seeing the two of them together makes us (wishfully) think Woody might have given Owen “the talk”…about going veg.

Since vegetarianism and veganism are ongoing dialogues, they could possibly (alright, very remotely) have been talking about the veg life at that very moment!

But what do you think they’re saying to each other?

And you thought St. Louis Children’s Hospital was the only facility still living in the dark ages.

Woody Harrelson is denouncing Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for using cats to practice the same types of life support procedures St. Louis does that are used on infants and children.

Vegan and raw foodie Harrelson took a moment to write to Dr. John Baldwin, president of the center, pointing out that not only is the use of cats cruel, but both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association endorse the use of manikins that represent the human anatomy more realistically.

“As a native Texan, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has been purchasing cats from a nearby animal shelter and using them for cruel medical training exercises. Cats used for the experiments have plastic tubes forced down their throats and needles stabbed into their chests and are then killed.”

“Animal shelters are supposed to be places of refuge for animals. I and countless others around the state are deeply discouraged to learn that Texas Tech is taking advantage of the tragic abundance of abandoned animals. Unwanted animals should at least be given a quick and painless death—and they definitely should not be tortured in a laboratory.”
