There must be something about being a vegetarian and a star that makes you want to try weird food combinations. Or maybe it’s just being vegetarian and a music star.
First, there’s RZA and his veggie burger patty on waffles. Then there’s Chris Walla promoting his veggie sausage with peanut butter. Could it get any worse? Our latest meatless recipe comes from Jason Mraz, who turned to a raw food diet earlier in the spring of this year, which also helped his bandmate, Toca Rivera, shown on the right in the photo, eliminate his symptoms of diabetes.
“Chocomole,” is exactly what it sounds like: Guacamole-like avocado whip with chocolate flavoring. Now it could be that we are just sheltered little blogggers whose food palate is limited by beans and rice and Amy’s Tofu Pot Pies and chocolate guacamole is a happening thing in foodie culture. If chocolate guacamole is a huge part of culture in the region of [insert region we’ve offended] and we don’t know about it, apologies in advance.
Mraz has his own avocado farm with trees that are 25-30 years old and describes his kitchen as sometimes being plentiful of the species, with him washing, eating, and distributing to friends who stop by.
This “chocomole” contraption he describes as chocolate mousse.
“You will freak when you try this chocolate mousse,” Mraz said.
Freak indeed, but hopefully in a good way.
Hop over here for the recipe which includes raw cacao, avocado, and agave nector, to name a few ingredients.

“Linda McCartney sausages were my favourite. They’re much better than eating real sausages and you don’t have to contemplate half way through exactly what’s inside them… You can have them, a bit of fried bread, tinned tomatoes. Delicious.”
—–Simon Cowell, American Idol Judge, after he went on a vegetarian diet for a week. The King of Mean does have nice things to say every once in awhile. While Paula may have smiled and said it was their best performance, Randy would definitely have said, “Aw…those veggie sausages were alright, dawg!”

Arrgh! Didn’t I tell them it was “Let It Be,” not “Let It Beef!”
People should know by now not to mess with the McCartneys. Not long ago, Stella threw a fit over an ad showing one of her vegan designs in a very compromised furry position. Now, a less than vegetarian friendly company has angered papa McCartney as well.
Walk into a Liverpool McDonald’s (not that any of you would, of course) and you might find some pictures of a very young Paul, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison on the wall. For some sightseeing without the daytripping, go here to view a sample picture.
McCartney, a vegetarian, is obviously not too thrilled with this and his spokesperson, Geoff Baker, has made a few choice statements about McDonald’s actions:
“What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles fans are?”
Well said.
“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald’s — and not just in Liverpool.”
Point made even better.

Comments Off on Goldfinger’s John Feldmann Holds Lobster Liberation Parties
John Feldmann, also known as “Feldy,” of the band, Goldfinger, is an outspoken vegan and animal rights activist. In fact, he may have been too outspoken for the FBI once, as they raided his home on suspicions of his role with an incident involving Animal Liberation Front, an animal rights group known for making statements in a radical fashion. He later sued for them putting his home in disarray and snatching his possessions and won.
When he throws parties, they’re big. To the sum of 110 guest or more. Did we forget to mention most of the guests are lobsters?
“We’ve done a couple lobster liberations; one in Hawaii, two in Boston, and one in Maine. I saw a tank of lobsters and I said, “I could do something about this right now.” We took all the lobsters and put them back in the ocean. Because of shock, I’m sure a lot of them died. Even if only one or two of them lived, it’s a better chance of survival than in the tank at the grocery store. I saw the lobsters in there and what could I do?”

Such an innocent, sweet face and demeanor. How could an angel possibly rebel?
There are a lot of ways to rise against the ‘rents, some worse than others. Chelsea Clinton decided to show mom Hillary who was the pre-teen boss by coming home one day and refusing to eat meat.
“…I got home when I was 11 and just declared I was no longer eating meat,” she said earlier in the year when she was on the road with her mother.
Her response was directed to a fellow vegan audience member she met at a campaign stop, according to the New York Post.
Hillary took the “if you’re going to do it, do it nutritiously,” approach to her daughter’s declaration of food independence and demanded Chelsea learn to cook for herself and complete lessons from the white house chefs.
We heard Chelsea’s favorite summertime veg treat is grilled onions. Bet Hillary and Bill didn’t mind this either, as it probably helped to keep the boys, Republican or Democrat, at bay.

He should have just brought a cooler and made the shake Andy Hurley recommends.
Fall Out Boys Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump decided to have lunch with editor-in-chief of Blender magazine Joe Levy. It took them a long time to make up their minds, but in the end, they chose Keens Steakhouse where Stump ended up getting completely cheated on a good meal. He’s vegetarian so he had to eat a salad.
Stump didn’t mention it before the two grabbed some grub. Maybe he didn’t want to sound like a pain. Here’s the thing, though. They all ate salads. There have been rumors of Wentz being an on again off again vegetarian, but it doesn’t appear that Levy is. Maybe they were trying to be polite?
One thing’s certain: Out of all the places in New York to eat, there were definitely better options where both carnivores and a veg rocker could agree upon than a steakhouse serving rabbit leaves.
Looks like everyone, including Stump, got stiffed!

So Andy Hurley gave Rolling Stone the secrets to a great vegetarian protein shake. But it still might be kind of hard to steal this recipe as he’s kind of vague about the formula:
“About this much vanilla soy milk, up to here with chocolate soy milk, then a scoop of peanut butter, some liquid amino acids to complete the protein.”
Maybe hard to follow, but sure sounds like a winner!
