“Sometimes I’m amazed that we are still breathing. With horrible abuses of animals, the planet and human kind, it’s amazing that we are still here. But now I’m really afraid that our beloved country, America, is standing on its last wobbly legs. I’m worried that the karmic effects of our negative actions will finally come home to roost. Our lack of compassion and love could actually consume us. However, we are still being given signs from the universe, glimpses of hope and opportunities to rise up and live up to our promise. The whole world wants us to succeed. The whole world wants us to lead.”

—Russell Simmons, in an article at huffingtonpost.com on America’s future.

If America is expected to be the leader, how close is it to setting a good example for animal welfare and nutrition for its citizens?

Much like Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray, Alicia Silverstone has also opened her refrigerator to allow the celebrity chef and everyone else see what she might stock in any given day.

Here’s a peek for you food voyeurists:

RR: I don’t like regular mayonnaise, but I see you have Vegenaise—does that taste anything like mayo?

AS: I have friends who eat meat who started eating Vegenaise and love it—I don’t see any difference at all. If anything, it’s richer and creamier. You should try it!

RR: We’ll see—it’s a texture issue for me. You have almond butter in there—do you like it better than peanut butter?

AS: I know almond butter is better for me, but I do sometimes eat peanut butter. I use it mostly to make my version of Rice Krispies Treats, which I’m very proud of. I’ll give you the recipe!

Actually, we can do that.

Alicia Silverstone discusses "The Kind Diet" on the "Rachael Ray Show"

Alicia Silverstone made an appearance on the Rachael Ray Show today to pay the celebrity chef a visit and discuss her new book, The Kind Diet.

Alicia has her husband, Christopher Jarecki, to thank for turning her eating habits around.

“I was on a steak, bresaola and donut diet at the time when I met him, so he was thrilled when I started eating healthier,” Alicia said. “He was like, ‘Honey you are just going to fall apart with the way you’re eating!”

Thanks goodness Christopher set her straight!

Quorn, which makes vegetarian faux meats from a fungus (yeah sounds gross, but taste really good) has compiled a list of healthiest celebrities and our darling vegan Natalie Portman made the cut.

“Natalie says vegetarianism is the key to being healthy! She has been a strict vegetarian since childhood and has great faith in the health benefits (http://www.goveg.com/healthConcerns.asp). Maybe she’s even a QuornTM lover?!”

The blog asks, “What do you think of the list? Anyone missing or glaring mistakes? The great debate starts here!”

Um, yeah, where the heck are the other vegetarians?

Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Jessica Alba to Beyonce is listed, but it looks like Natalie is the only vegetarian on the top 10.

Strange, considering Quorn is a maker of vegetarian products.

We’d put NHL star Georges Laraque on there, along with Kind Dieter Alicia Silverstone, not to mention “I bike everywhere” Ed Begley Jr.

There are dozens are veg celebrities that could easily take the spots of the other nine.

Who else should Quorn name healthiest celeb?

For twenty years The Simpsons have been doing special Halloween episodes full of bizarre humor you’ve come to love.

This year featured the citizens of Springfield inflicted with a mad cow type disease after eating the Krusty the Clown hamburger called Burger Squared.

They should have known better than to take something from Krusty.

Burger Squared is produced by “starting with Grade A beef, feeding it to other cows and then serving the unholy results on a seven grain bun.”

Most everyone in town eats the burgers and turns into zombies, leaving The Simpsons and a few vegetarians like Apu running for their lives.

When Lisa asks Apu how he survived, he answers, “Well, as a vegetarian, I did not consume any tainted meat and as a convenience store owner, I am armed to the teeth.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy and Apu perished after all.

Watch the clip to see how.

Miranda Kerr, model and girlfriend of Orlando Bloom, is planning to publish a diet and nutrition book later this year.

Miranda considers herself mostly vegetarian and follows a diet based on blood type.

Could there be another vegetarian diet book to add to your shelves soon?

I know what works for me,” Kerr told Grazia Australia. “Primarily I’m vegetarian, but I will eat a small amount of fish and chicken – and once in a blue moon I’ll have a steak.”

“I am conscious of not only maintaining but promoting a healthy lifestyle and I wouldn’t be able to sustain the hectic nature of my modelling commitments if I wasn’t 100 percent committed to feeding my body the food, vitamins and minerals it needs,” she added.

Miranda was defending herself after a swimsuit photo shoot for Grazia Australia made it look like she had lost a dramatic amount of weight.

“The exaggerated poses for the shoot have made me appear thinner than normal from behind, but I am the same weight and measurements I have maintained for more than three years,” she said.

Morrissey is the kind of vegetarian that will fire an employee for biting on a fish sandwich.

So it’s ironic that a ticket sold for one of his upcoming shows comes with a coupon for a free burger, as was discovered and Tweeted by former Reno 911 star Thomas Lennon.

“No joke. My Morrissey Ticketmaster print out tickets come with a COUPON FOR A DENNY’S HAMBURGER. Classy, Ticketmaster,” Lennon Tweeted, supplying the photgraphic evidence here.

The ticket was purchased for Morrissey’s Dec. 10 performance at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

In defense, Denny’s issued a statement about their veg friendliness including a recent Boca Burger burrito addition to the menu.

“We <3 Moz & vegetarian friends,” they wrote.
