Alicia Silverstone chatted with Ken Spector at the Green Lounge Project where they talked and talked about vegetarian food, Alicia’s favorite restaurants and the myths of free-range meat.

“It’s legal to have fecal matter on your meat,” Alicia says.

“So when you buy a cellophane wrapped steak, you’re getting poo poo too.”

So that’s it.

The question of what “mystery meat” is has been answered.

Watch the clip to learn why one of Alicia’s favorite “restaurants” is her own kitchen.

Prada Book Launch Cocktail at Prada Beverly Hills

Vegetarians are just like most other human beings, meaning that around the Holidays they will stuff themselves so much, you’d think a farmer was planning to make foie gras out of them.

InStyle magazine asked Ginnifer Goodwin what her Holiday “cheat” was and Ginnifer responded, “I don’t eat animal products of any kind, but I have a big problem with vegan macaroni and cheese.”

Who wouldn’t have a problem controlling themselves with a dairy free version of one of the biggest comfort foods on the planet?

Most homemade vegan mac and cheese will contain nutritional yeast, which not only adds that “cheesy” color, but brings out a rich and creamy taste.

This holiday season, try out this recipe from vegweb.com, Mama Koala’s Vegan Mac and “Cheese.”

Because cheating on dairy is always forgiven.

Natalie Portman Gives Ice Cream Alternatives (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on December 1st, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Videos.

As you know by now, Natalie Portman recently went vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s new book, Eating Animals.

Nat was interviewed at the Gotham International Film Awards when she was asked how on earth she survives without her ice cream.

“There’s still Rice Dream and soy milk ice cream and occasionally if you can find ethically produced dairy, you can have it,” Natalie said.

How does a vegan get their ice cream fix?

Ha!

That’s like asking a veggie how she gets her protein.

Premiere of The Messenger

Self proclaimed environmentalists who still eat meat are criticized for their diet’s impact on the earth.

And a celebrity who claims to live green while owning seven private jets and flies their favorite jelly from Italy to Australia has some explaining to do.

The Times Online has featured an article on the top celebrity green hypocrites, but two stars were listed as the exception to the rule–vegetarians Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr.

“Ed Begley Jr from St Elsewhere and Best in Show became a vegan in 1970, bought one of the first electric cars, and has lived for years in a self-sufficient house that uses not just solar and wind energy but a toaster powered by a stationary bicycle.”

“The famous neo-hippie Woody Harrelson lives in a sustainable community in Hawaii, grows most of his food, uses only solar power, wears hemp clothes, eschews animal products, and fuels his car with biodiesel.”

Not surprising that two veggies were spared from being blacklisted in the green hypocrisy database.

Any smart environmentalist knows that meat’s not green and meat and dairy production emits more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined.

Read the article at the Times Online to learn about John Travolta‘s five private jets, Barack Obama flying a chef across the country just to make pizza (hello, Dominoes?) and other celebrity green hypocrite examples.

Tamara Ecclestone for PETA

Some seriously hot chicks once agreed to pose with Tamara Ecclestone for PETA’s campaign to end foie gras production  in The Naked Truth: Foie Gras Is A Recipe For Torture.

A huge victory for geese occurred recently when Selfridges dropped foie gras from its shelves.

But the practice of force feeding the birds until their livers swell up to 10 times the natural size to produce the delicacy unfortunately hasn’t been dropped from other supermarkets and restaurants.

Tamara has taken her clothes off in the name of animals for other campaigns, posing for an anti-fur campaign, wearing nothing but a checkered flag, referencing her father Bernie Ecclestone‘s Formula 1 Racing Company.

Shauna Sand Madeo’s Restaurant–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on November 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

Shauna Sands Might Have Eatten Ate Madeo's!

Actress and Playboy model Shauna Sand stepped out Madeo’s restaurant in Beverly Hills, California recently with a companion on her arm.

Let’s hope this companion is as phony as a Playmate’s breasts and Shauna is sporting fake fur.

Although Hugh Hefner‘s girlfriends may not mind being cramped up in the mansion, animals kept in cages on fur farms definitely mind their lack of freedom and pain and suffering they endure when killed for the pelts.

What do you think?

Is Shauna fur real?

Please, please, please let it be fake!
