Green Is Universal NBC

NBC’s third annual Green Week is on!

Designed to raise environmental awareness among NBC viewers, Green Week features television programs normally broadcast on the station incorporating green themes.

Looking at the schedule, there are a few shows that catch our eyes.

Tuesday night, The Biggest Loser will feature green training tips throughout the episode.

With vegetarian coach Bob Harper, and almost vegetarian but still fish eating Jillian Michaels, we’re crossing our fingers sustainable nutrition makes the tip list.

Top Chef on Wednesday will pay a visit to Top Chef Masters contestant Chef Rick Moonen‘s restaurant as the competitors take over Moonen’s eatery that serves organic and sustainable produce and seafood.

Sarah Palin "Going Rogue"

The long awaited Sarah Palin book (insert laugh) will arrive at your local bookstore November 17 2009.

Sarah chose to make fun of herself and include some of her own Palinisms that made an entire nation mock her along with Saturday Night Live.

What Would Sarah cook for a vegetarian?
“If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

Alaska’s animals belong next to the vegetables–on a plate:
“I love meat. I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all Alaska’s animals — right next to the mashed potatoes.”

Yes, we know Sarah’s making her attempt at humor, but after angering so many on her animal and environment policies, should she back away from the snide remarks towards those who don’t pack moose Lunchables for their children every morning?

Feels like we’re asking you to vote Funny or Die.

Joanna Krupa Playboy December 2009

Joanna Krupa is gracing the cover of Playboy magazine for the December 2009 issue.

The Dancing With The Stars competitor is looking hot and may be able to thank both genes and diet for getting herself on the Hugh Hefner bible.

Joanna follows a diet of what she calls “95% fishatarian” and says she feels great without the meat.

“If I have a strong craving for meat, I have a steak,” she said. “But interestingly enough my craving for meat is decreasing.”

While we’re proud of Joanna for cutting back on meat, but we’re afraid her fishy habits might harm both herself and the planet, as she admits to “indulging” in sushi.

“I indulge in sushi and salads and seafood dishes and – once in a while I allow myself also some French fries or pancakes.”

Joanna is compassionate–she’s already done an anti-fur ad.

Might it be too much to ask Joanna to give us our Holiday wish and go veg completely?

Don’t want her ending up with the Jeremy Piven syndrome.

Nora Jones "The Fall"

Nora Jones has a new album coming out November 17 2009, The Fall.

Much like we brought you the vegan verses from Method Man‘s Blackout! Vol. 2, we’re excited to inform you Nora has the dilemma of choosing between a pothead or a vegan lover in Man of the Hour.

Though we were rooting for the vegan, we’re not entirely disappointed in the company she chose to keep–her album co star dog!

“It’s him or me/That’s what he said/But I can’t choose between a vegan and a pothead/So I chose you.”

You can never go wrong with a four legged date!

After hearing what Taylor Lautner ate to gain weight for his New Moon role, even vampire blood is starting to sound better.

“Yeah, so I carry around a Baggie and it has meat patties in it,” Lautner told Entertainment Weekly. “The worst is not the patties. It’s the sweet potatoes. They get raw and cold and gushy.”

Taylor’s meat and potatoes habit allowed him to put on 30 pounds, but how many points did he put on his cholesterol?

All the vegetarian and vegan male athletes like Tony Gonzalez, Prince Fielder, Georges Laraque and Brendan Brazier know seitan “wheat” meat or Gardein faux meat and potatoes would keep Taylor buffed and ripped, save a few animals and not significantly add to the carbon emissions dirtying up Mother Earth like meat production does.

You can view Taylor’s “animal” body of steel when New Moon hits theatres November 20.

Unfortunately, the experience won’t be nearly such a turn on for the veggie ladies.

Brigitte Bardot is asking the European Union to institute a Vegetarian Day to help fight global warming.

In a letter to European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barrosoa, Bardot said “a few weeks before the Copenhagen climate summit, I would like to draw your attention to the need to question cattle-farming, whose effects on the environment are of concern.”

Bardot backed her passionate writing with facts from studies conducted by World Bank and the UN Food Agency.

“If ‘developed’ nations were to reduce their meat consumption, there would be less famine, which kills almost six million children each year,” Bardot wrote.

“Our collective duty is to act at all levels, including by promoting a vegetarian diet,” she said

“A European ‘Vegetarian Day’ would be a strong symbol.”

Turning 75 years of age in September, Bardot shows no signs of “retiring” from her mission to save animals, the planet and human health.

You outta know that Alanis Morissette has been following a mostly vegan diet after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s book, Eat To Live.

Alanis recently interviewed with Health Magazine where she discussed her diet habits, including the fact she loves to put a pat of vegan butter on her popcorn.

“I love snacking on popcorn with balsamic vinegar, vegan butter, and all kinds of spices.”

Thank goodness Alanis has grown to enjoy good food, which is a stark contrast from her eating disorder teen years.

“As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic. I was a young woman in the public eye, on the receiving end of a lot of attention, and I was trying to protect myself from men who were using their power in ways I was too young to know how to handle. Disappointment, sadness and pain hit me hard, and I tried to numb those feelings through my relationship with food. For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee,” “I began recovering at 18, when a sweet friend confronted me.”

And like Woody Harrelson, Alanis discovered a vegan diet is acne’s nightmare.

“I rarely eat dairy. I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin. He was right. My skin looks great now.”

You can read Alanis’ full story in the December 2009 issue of Health magazine.
