Vegetarian Star

Actor David Duchovny and author Kathy Freston were both spotted at Candle Cafe recently, enjoying some vegan grub.

Ahem…they were eating at separate tables.

Don’t want to get any of those rumors started.

Kathy, author of the Quantum Wellness books is a well known vegan and David has been spotted at vegan friendly restaurants in the past.

Is Duchovny a closet tofu eater?

Sure we’ll find out sooner or later.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was interviewed by justout.com, when he was asked what his thoughts were on the animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Perez thinks PETA is a lot like him. Read to find out why.

JO: You support PETA, which directly opposes biomedical HIV research; you also support HIV research and advocacy groups such as Keep A Child Alive. Do you personally oppose biomedical HIV research? Should the gay community support or oppose biomedical research?
PH: You know, it wouldn’t be fair to say I support PETA—it’d be fair to say I support some of the things they say, but at the same time, fuck—I eat meat and own some leather shoes. I don’t wear fur, though. You know, I’m a human being, and human beings are walking contradictions! I think we should explore all avenues for finding a cure for HIV and AIDS—and all diseases! Like stem cell research—I’m all for it!

JO: If biomedical research shouldn’t be opposed, why do you support PETA, who believes research should be stopped, and not another animal welfare organization that is pro-research?
PH: I don’t support PETA—I support some of the things that PETA does. I support that they’re kind of like me, in that they’re loud and sometimes obnoxious. Underneath that, a lot of the things they do and other things I don’t agree with.

Both Perez and PETA are loud and obnoxious?

LOL! Separated at birth.

The New York Times has posted an article on women who have taken charge!

No longer slaves to corporate human factory farms, these ladies have started their own businesses, offer advice on healing and empowerment and how to lead a holistic healthy life in general.

Kris Carr, founder of the Crazysexylife.com website-a hub for anyone cravings the tips of how live strong and healthy (including vegetarian), is featured as one of the leading ladies.

“One of the most prominent is Kris Carr, a former actress who a month after appearing in two beer commercials during the Super Bowl in 2003 was found to have cancer in her liver and lungs. She went on a voyage of self-transformation that she chronicled in a documentary, “Crazy Sexy Cancer,” which aired on TLC in 2007, and was followed by two books.”

“Her Web site, Crazy Sexy Life, has become a nexus for women who identify themselves as leaders of a new generation of self-empowerment. Bloggers for the site include Rory Freedman, an author of the “Skinny Bitch” diet guides; Ms. Bernstein; and Mallika Chopra, a parenting author whose father is Deepak Chopra.”

“We are encouraging people to eat right, to exercise, to tap into their spirituality, to start listening to themselves, and to do it in a way that’s bold and resonates,” Carr said.

In Defense of Food author Michael Pollan is outspoken improving health through better food.

He believes in less fast food, cooking at home more often, and everything in moderation.

He does not, however, believe in a vegan diet.

From isthmus.com:

That’s a very similar argument to what Karen Dawn makes, that if you’re too hardcore about a vegan diet you lose people.
“That’s right. I don’t want people to lose track of the fact that pleasure is a very important part of this, and being neurotic about eating is not good for your health. You know, there’s a great M.F.K. Fisher quote: “All things in moderation, including moderation.” I think she’s got the right idea.”

Granted, not everyone is gung ho about cutting all animal products from their lives.

But eating vegan isn’t pleasurable? Vegans are neurotic?

Pft!

Pollan’s starting to sound like Giles Coren.

Author Margaret Atwood is touring seven countries to promote her new book The Year of The Flood and to raise money for Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

Working for the birds has made Margaret go partially vegetarian-at least no feathered and furry friends.

Check out this portion of the interview from bloomberg.com.

Anderson: I hear you’ve turned vegetarian for the tour.

Atwood: Yes, I’ve themed myself, though I shouldn’t use the term vegetarian because I’m allowing myself gastropods, crustaceans and the occasional fish. Nothing with fur or feathers, though.

Anderson: And you’re drinking only shade-grown, bird- friendly organic coffee?

Atwood: I’m lugging around some Gorilla Coffee that I got in Brooklyn, and I just got presented tonight with a British kind, from the Monmouth Coffee place in Covent Garden. If you say you’re looking for this stuff, somebody’s going to tell you where it is. Ask and it shall be told unto you.

Anderson: Do you have an eco vice you’d care to confess?

Atwood: We sailed here on the QE2. Going on a boat tour is an eco vice, though we are carbon offsetting it through this company called Zerofootprint. But you could say, “Well, my worst eco vice is breathing.” Every time you do it, you’re letting out carbon dioxide.

“I was literally in the middle of nowhere, in a forest in the northern Republic of Congo, visiting people studying chimps. We were out one evening in the forest with pygmy trackers. They picked these orange mushrooms, along with a large leaf from a low-lying plant-I have no idea of its name. They cooked them together; the leaves made a kind of broth. It was absolutely delicious, and the vibrant orange and green colors were so beautiful. And it was definitely vegetarian.”

—-Jane Goodall, in an interview in the print October 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Jane has a new book out this month, Hope for Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink, and the renowned scientist who studied primates shares his insights on the future of the animal kingdom as so many species becoming extinct.
