Vegetarian Star

You may remember Vanessa A. Williams from shows like Melrose Place and Soulfood.

Last month she attended the Caribbean Fashion Week and spoke to the Jamaica Gleaner about her favorite Jamaican veggie dishes.

“My favourite Jamaican foods are ackee and callaloo. I am a vegan, so I don’t eat saltfish. During my visit, I am, looking forward to plantain, rice and peas and, of course, ackee and callaloo. I even stopped at a vegetarian restaurant after I landed to get ackee but they did not have it, so I am definitely going back to get it before I leave.”

Besides talking veggie, she also mentioned she loves her “skinny jeans” and can’t do without earrings.

An ex-lover of vegan Heather Mills’ new man has no problem spilling the beans (even if they are without pork). Elsa Maneiro, the ex of Mills’ boyfriend Jamie, says she doesn’t think Heather can put up with Jamie’s meat eating manliness.

She said: “I don’t think they will be compatible. Jamie will not become a vegetarian as he loves meat too much.

“He always lapped up my chicken or meat dishes. He has a penchant for hot dogs, hamburgers and junk food occasionally as well.

“He adores fish. I can’t see him giving it up. The food is full of protein which is great for his body-building.”

Hmm..Sound like sour grapes or legitimate lentils? You decide.

Taco Tuesday, No-Cover Thursday, and… Meat-Free Monday?

Paul McCartney has suggested everyone stop eating meat one day a week to reduce carbon emission from the cattle industry.

He has been reported to tell his carnivore eating friends, “You realise you are eating dead flesh.”
According to The Telegraph Paul said cutting out meat one day a week is popular in Australia, where shoppers have become conscious of the environmental impact of cattle rearing and meat production.

In an interview with The Grocer, Paul said, “A lot of people go to the gym on a Monday.” Seems not eating meat would add an even more healthful spin to the day. “With meat-free Mondays, it’s a bit like going to the gym but with the added advantage of protecting the planet,” he added.

Paul turned vegetarian after a fishing trip, “Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, ‘I am killing him — all for the passing pleasure it brings me’. And something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me”.

Although Domestic Diva Martha Stewart may be more famous, we’re more interested in what her vegetarian foodie daughter, Alexis, has to say and apparently others are too. She has a successful radio talk show on Sirius, called “Whatever with Jennifer and Alexis.

Alexis has recently been in the news discussing her wishes to conceive a baby, but in the past she has been active with PETA and narrated the PETA Veggie Holiday Hotline. When callers called the 1-888-VEG-FOOD hotline, they would hear the following:

“Chances are, if you’re hosting the holiday feast this year, you’ll have at least one friend or family member who doesn’t eat meat. Whether for ethical or health reasons, millions of Americans have gone vegetarian, and it’s now easier than ever to keep veggie guests happy at holiday gatherings. To ensure your menu doesn’t ruffle anybody’s feathers, visit VegCooking.com for handy tips and tasty recipes. And for a free vegetarian starter kit, leave your name and address at the tone. Thanks, and happy holidays.”

According to the goveg website, Alexis has been veg since she was in high school and Mother Martha was always supportive. She’s not a big fan of fake meat, but prefers pastas, salads, and soup-carrot soup being her favorite.

Is she or isn’t she? Avril Lavigne has been labeled vegetarian by some sources, but there are conflicting stories.

She was in Peta’s poll of sexiest vegetarians in 2005 and 2006. But…

In the January 2003 issue of Seventeen magazine, she admitted to “snagging a bite of Matt’s cheeseburgers every now and again.” Also in a recent interview, she said she prefers not to eat meat, but will not say she’s a vegetarian “in case anyone caught her eating meat”.

Could it just be that she licked her last bones in 2003, then cleaned up her act in ’05 and ’06? Or does she have an on again/off again fling with the cow that changes faster than you can update your Myspace relationship status?

Although we may never know the truth, we do know that her “acting like she’s veg and she’s not makes us frustrated.”

Mother’s Milk is best, but soy milk may be good as well.

Vegetarian and Red Hot Chili Pepper band member, Anthony Kiedis, was voted one of Peta’s sexiest in 2008, along with his female counterpart, Leona Lewis.

Kiedis beat other notable veg celebrity males such as Casey Affleck, Rikki Rockett, and Tobey Maguire.

His son’s doctor recommended a vegan diet for mini-Anthony, and after learning of the problems with fish depletion, Kiedis decided to go it like father like son.

“Soon after I [went vegan] I saw some documentary footage of what happens in the factory farming of cows …. It sealed the deal,” says Kiedis.
