Vegetarian Star

Is Lost actress Rebecca Mader thinking of going vegetarian?

After watching Food Inc., the actress tells Mother Nature Network she found it hard to eat chicken.

“I had just ordered chicken from room service and I couldn’t eat it,” she said, adding that the movie “really changed the way I look at food. With corn syrup being in everything, I’m starting to look at packages and trying to eat more basic, real food.”

Chances of Rebecca giving up animals for food are good, given the fact she was never a Big Mac five times a week gal anyway.

“I was never really a big meat eater and since seeing Food, Inc. I haven’t eaten out very much at all. And if I have it’s been in organic restaurants.”

“It kind of depends in what neighborhood we’re in. There’s a bunch of good veggie places there and I can’t for the life of me think of the names of. A bunch of us are vegetarians. We’re all like foodies and there’s some really great food in Seattle. We have some really great friends there. The coffee’s unbelievable. Especially the mom and pops..the best ever. We love Seattle.”

—-Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio to The Seattlest, on the good places to grab meatless grub in the city of Seattle.

Guess Matt’s gotta have his decaf with his tofu scramble.

John Salley opened up his kitchen to the cameras while he demonstrated making vegetarian pizzas.

Either “The Tash” or “Da Bomb” pizzas can be complemented with Salley’s “Perfect Heirloom Salad.”

Salley mentions that children aren’t watching enough vegetable friendly programming on television.

“You’ve got all these kids that won’t eat vegetables. Those kids whose parents didn’t like vegetables and let their kids watch these TV shows that shows kids not liking vegetables. So then kids imitate the atmosphere. That’s why you’ve got to make sure you know what you’re kids are watching, so it enhances what you teach them.”

Sounds like Salley is giving a hint that every parent and child should watch (and imitate) his cooking videos (and even buy his brand of food products in the future).

It’s definitely for their best interest, as pizza made with meatless ground, vegan cheese, plus lots of nutrient rich vegetables like onions, peppers and spinach goes a long way towards making a child a healthy adult.

Teach the children right, grab the recipe for the pizzas and salads and watch the video of Salley.

A sandwich shop in Toronto loves Wilco so much, they’ve named some of their culinary creations after them.

“She’s a Jar” comes with almond butter spread on honey whole wheat bread, topped with banana slices and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Carol Leifer is set to make an appearance at the Tuscon Festival of Books on March 14 to discuss her latest book, When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win.

During a recent interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Carol admitted there were a few drawbacks to her decision to go vegan.

“I think the thing I miss the most is cheese,” she said but added that “you can really work around anything.”

On the other hand, she’s being frugal by not purchasing pricier items made from animal products.

“I’m saving so much money because I don’t buy wool any more, and I don’t buy leather.”

Which probably explains why she’ll only splurge on a pair of Stella McCartney shoes every once in awhile.

“Stella McCartney is my new savior. It’s pricey, so I buy it sparingly. It’s really good stuff.”

Never met a politician that didn’t like a seitan sandwich, or at least didn’t pretend to like one while campaigning in the raw foods and sustainable cotton clothing district of city X.

Two seemingly non vegetarian politicians have been caught in the public looking suspciously interested in at least practicing Meat Free Mondays.

Months ago, it was NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg voting “nay” on the steak while recently Mitt Romney struck at a pose at the mostly vegetarian Great American Health Bar.

It’s about giving the people what they want, and the American people are calling for an overhaul in the system that allows them to access healthy food.

Between Romney and Bloomberg, who would you rather have veggie burger lunch with to discuss how to make organic produce cheaper.

John Joseph, punk rock singer best known for his work with the Cro-Mags, is training for a triathlon in his late 40s.

If you’re wondering how this is physically possible, you might ask him about his diet, which is mostly raw and filled with plant based proteins.

Then again, it may those supplements he’s creating with a internationally known nutritionist, Dr. Fred Biscie.

All this is accomplished while John has worked on a new book about how the wrong diet and lifestyle choices will eventually make you a “pussy.”

The vegetarian of 30 years said of the upcoming book, Meat Is For Pussies:

“The new book’s title is a play on words. Everyone thinks that I’m calling you a pussy if you eat meat. That’s not what the title is suggesting. What I say in the foreword is that if you continue to leading a sedentary lifestyle, sitting in front of the TV, getting no exercise, eating poisonous foods, you will become a pussy that is dependent on the pharmaceutical companies. If that’s what you want, right on, don’t buy my book. If you want to know what’s really going on, then I suggest you pick it up.”

Fair enough.

John says about half of his diet is raw and he’s not a fan of GMOs.
