Comments Off on Lisa Edelstein “House” Away From Home Isn’t Vegetarian Friendly
As a vegetarian for 28 years, Lisa Edelstein has been through times when it was difficult to get something meatless while away from home. But who would have thought that in 2010, it would be hard to find something vegetarian on the set of House?
As Edelstein explained to Popeater, the producers of the show don’t have a large budget for food, and she often ends up bringing her own food to the set because “food is sort of crappy.”

You know exactly who you are.
You never went vegetarian or vegan because you hated the taste of meat. The smell of Thanksgiving turkey still makes you salivate and walking past the steakhouse gives you fantasies that make you feel a bit naughty.
However, there’s no reason to feel guilty about a craving you never give into. And because you know there’s such an abundance of fake meat out there, you never will.

After nine years of vegetarianism, singer Sade has announced she has no problem eating Mary the little lamb.
“I hate to say this,” she said in an interview with All About Jazz, “but when I saw these lambs gamboling through the field and I started to salivate and I thought I should get to the tandoori shop quick before I pull a leg off one of the lambs. It’s weird. I just thought the natural thing to do right now was to eat meat. I went through the whole veggie period thinking that was a good thing, and maybe it was for that time.”
It’s funny how Sade thinks it’s “natural” to eat lamb, when raising the animal is actually quite an unnatural process.
Lamb is sheep meat that is less than a year old and most lamb arrives at the market around 6-8 months of age. Instead of weening for a normal time period, the babies are quickly introduced to a diet consisting of corn, barley and milo.
The animals are also sentient beings. According to the Humane Society, sheep remember and recognize faces of their flock after years of separation.

Temple Grandin, a scientist who’s contributed to reducing stress on slaughter animals, has consulted with two U.S chicken companies who worked with a business, Anglia Autoflow, that designed a system to allow them to kill chickens using carbon dioxide, considered a more humane alternative to electrical stunning used by most American chicken producers.
Bell & Evans in Pennsylvania and Mary’s Chickens in California are making the switch to putting chickens to sleep using the gas before they are turned upside down to have their throats slit and will have the first such chickens slaughtered available for purchase in April and June, respectively.

Still in need of adult costume ideas for Halloween? Chow has put together a few ideas for foodies looking to impersonate their favorite food activists and chefs.
On the left, you have your Alice Waters costume, which, according to Chow, will require you to invest in items such as a “handmade purple hat” and “basket of organic vegetables”
Next to Alice is “sexy” Michael Pollan. Besides a bald cap, you’ll need “a book, organic vegetables and some hos [sic].” Ahem. We’re sure the typo was an honest mistake and Pollan’s just a gardening enthusiast.

Michelle Obama invited local school children to harvest vegetables from the garden when she was caught holding a prized possession from the patch.
The sweet potato was picked at the beginning of prime season (October through January) and this Thanksgiving favorite in the U.S. is sure to please White House guests in some dish soon.
Sometimes mistaken for yams, sweet potatoes are actually an entirely different vegetable, a root of the vine in the morning glory family that dates back to 750 B.C. in Peruvian records.
