Frequent vegan fliers who always forget their lotion, don’t despair.
If you fly Virgin America airlines, the company now offers a How Could I Forget Kit which features a Yes To Carrots package that is vegan.

Comments Off on Ellen DeGeneres Favorite Vegetarian Celebrity VegNews Poll
The annual VegNews Veggie Awards winners will be announced in the November/December holiday issue of the magazine coming out any day now.

Georges Laraque: Professional hockey player, animal rights activist, and vegetarian evangelist?
The Montreal Gazette reports that after one reader learned Georges was an animal free athlete, it inspired her friend to go veg as well.
“I am writing to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate the story that you published on the Canadiens’ Georges Laraque’s mission to help animals. Although I’m not a hockey fan, I admire Laraque for challenging the stereotypes about sports and diet and showing that a successful athlete doesn’t have to bulk up on animal protein.”
“If it weren’t for this article, which explained that Laraque went vegan after watching the Earthlings documentary on the abuse of animals, my friend would not have called me and told me he was going vegetarian.”
Never underestimate the power of a successful vegan male celebrity!

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Alicia Silverstone Makes Best VEG Choices
“Well, I never crave non-vegan foods, because vegan foods are so delicious. When I’m out and there are no vegetarian foods available, then I just make the best choices I can. Sometimes, it’s to eat nothing at all, or I’ll have the least offensive thing. Maybe there’s a salad with goat cheese, or potato salad with a little mayo. That’s what it’s about — making the best choices under all circumstances.”
Are there certain items you compromise on when you can’t eat the way you prefer? Will you allow mayonnaise on a veg sandwich? Mono and diglycerides from a source you can’t confirm? How do you determine what’s appropriate for your vegan diet?

The Good Ideas Salon, hosted by PSFK and Nissan, will bring together some of today’s most forward thinkers on October 20 to share their ideas on what will make the world better for the future.
Web entrepreneur and vegan Peter Rojas will serve on the panel of distinguished guest for the “Pure Living” conversation moderated by Piers Fawkes (PSFK) and psfk.com gave a preview of what Peter might share during the conversation.
Q: How do you see the ideal of pure living manifesting itself practically in the world today?
PR: In ways that people are living in ways that lessen their impact on the world: living closer to work so they don’t have to drive (as much), traveling less, going vegetarian, etc.
Q: How do you see pure living playing out in the future?
PR: In some respects we won’t have any choice but to live less resource-intensive lives. Barring some breakthrough in renewable energy (like cold fusion), we won’t have enough energy to lead the same kind of consumption-driven lives we lead now. The challenge will be to design an economy that isn’t driven by ever-increasing production and consumption.

Comments Off on Ed Begley Jr. Rachelle Carson Studio City Favorite Spots
Ed Begley Jr. and Rachelle Carson are the perfect example of a vegan and an omnivore making it work when dining out.
The couple recently told the LA Times where they go to grab a bite in Studio City, California that can please both of their palates.
Ed Begley Jr.: Our favorite restaurant is probably the Vegan Plate right here in Studio City. I live at that place. Also the Outtake Cafe. It’s right in the neighborhood too. You can go in there casual, in jeans, but it’s still really good food.
Rachelle Carson: Ed usually walks there — he walks everywhere — and I’ll drive right behind him in the car. I usually order the salmon, it’s excellent, and they’ve also got the best Chinese chicken salad.
EB: I’m a vegan, but they’re able to accommodate us. I like the soups and vegetable plates, and they have terrific salads.
Are you in a mixed diet relationship where you have to compromise to enjoy a lunch or dinner that suits both of you?
