Comments Off on Woody Harrelson: Honorary Doctorate For Annoying Vegan
Woody Harrelson is set to receive an honorary doctorate from York University this Saturday for his environmental activism.
“It’s not always the usual suspects that need to be uncovered and recognized,” said Dawn Bazely, a biology professor who helped nominate Woody and learned about his environmental efforts after watching Go Further, a 2003 film featuring Woody taking a biofueled road trip to spread the eco friendly news.
During his interview with the Tornonto Star, Woody touched a bit on his veganism.
Q: What’s your biggest challenge as a raw-food vegan?
A: Sitting at a restaurant that’s not vegan and trying to explain I can’t have any dairy or butter without annoying the s— out of everybody at the table.
Woody admits he wasn’t into the green scene in college, but became interested in the late 80s and early 90s.
Comments Off on Taylor Momsen “Whitney Museum Gala” Veggie Gossip
Although we’re saddened we can’t spread the gossip that Taylor Momsen is still vegetarian, at least we can bring you the news she still doesn’t eat red meat.
At the recent Whitney Museum Gala at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Taylor discussed how she’s trying to combat the flu season this year with lots of veggies.
“I eat really healthy and I work out,” Taylor said. “I dance and go to the gym a little bit here and there.”
Last year, Taylor was a victim of the flu bug while working on the set of Gossip Girl.
Many veg foods like garlic, citrus and yogurt with probiotics have been suggested to strengthen your immune system and help fight the flu.
Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Whitney Museum of American Art for the 2009 Whitney Museum Gala.
With so many beautifully preserved works at the Whitney like Georgia O’Keeffe paintings there’s really no need to bring ancient caveman artifacts like fur coats into the institution.
Comments Off on Alicia Silverstone “The Kind Diet” Giveaway Day 3
The Kind Diet
All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.
Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.
Today, Alicia explains how The Kind Diet is different from other diets.
“The Kind Diet doesn’t ask people to freak out about calories, carbs or the glycemic index. It will change their relationship with food and their bodies, transforming the whole idea of dieting for them while helping them to lose weight easily, attain glowing skin, increased energy & strength, as well as a more-efficient immune system. The bottom line is–the food we choose is not the only factor in our health and well-being, but it’s definitely one of the most important—and, luckily, it’s one we have control over.”
And with recipes like “Waffle, Sausage, and Cheese Panini” who said anything about a “diet?”
In a recent interview with the Sierra Club, Mayim discussed how life on the screen has become more environmentally friendly as well.
“Blossom ended when I was 19. Things are a lot different now. Recycling is a standard part of everyone’s vocabulary, which is significant because of the amount of scripts. The beauty products used aren’t tested on animals and are gentler on the environment. Green practices are becoming a much more accepted line of conversation. I don’t wear leather and that’s something easier to address now.”
Comments Off on Daniel Negreanu Hits The Ball Like A Vegan
Poker playing champion Daniel Negreanu takes a little humorous heat from his buddies every now and then for his herbivore diet, as he described during a recent blog entry at cardplayer.com:
“After dinner we all went to my house to do a golf pool for the tournament. Then, Erick went after my books again. I have boxes of my book at home that are there for me to sign and he likes to mess with them, writing messages on random pages. He’ll write “I hit the ball like a vegan, signed Daniel Negreanu” or other equally stupid stuff.”
Considering this vegan since 2003 has several poker accomplishments under his belt, we’d saying hitting the ball like a veg ain’t a bad thing at all.

Vegan singer Chrissie Hynde also donated her print to the event.
When John Challis was asked why he chose to participate, he answered:
“I love cats and I have done a lot of work for charities with a similar cause. We actually inherited some feral cats on the farm and we decided to take care of them. They were breeding at the time, so we took them to the vets and found homes for their kittens. We weren’t really cat people before that, but I think that cats have a way of finding you. We have one male cat and one female- they both follow us around all of the time”.
