Alicia Silverstone To Pen Children’s Book

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Books.

Alicia Silverstone discussion and signing of her new book 'The Kind Diet'

For all of you enjoying your Kind Diet book copy, you’ll be pleased to know another Alicia Silverstone work may be on the way.

But first, she has to announce she has a child on the way.

“Yeah, but I want to wait until I have kids and then write a book for children,” Alicia said, when asked if she planned to write another book.

“I have a lot to say about kids, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear that when you don’t have them! [Laughs.] So I want to have kids and go through, ideally, a whole natural-birth experience.”

Maybe Alicia and Erykah Badu could do some talking about natural birth together? Erykah could teach Alicia how to coherently Tweet while doing so.

Until Alicia puts a vegan baby on board, pick up a copy of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals by Ruby Roth to teach your children about a vegetarian lifestyle.

Brigitte Bardot Asks European Union For Vegetarian Day

Bridgitte Bardot in Bucharest to Save Stray Dogs

Brigitte Bardot is asking the European Union to institute a Vegetarian Day to help fight global warming.

In a letter to European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barrosoa, Bardot said “a few weeks before the Copenhagen climate summit, I would like to draw your attention to the need to question cattle-farming, whose effects on the environment are of concern.”

Bardot backed her passionate writing with facts from studies conducted by World Bank and the UN Food Agency.

“If ‘developed’ nations were to reduce their meat consumption, there would be less famine, which kills almost six million children each year,” Bardot wrote.

“Our collective duty is to act at all levels, including by promoting a vegetarian diet,” she said

“A European ‘Vegetarian Day’ would be a strong symbol.”

Turning 75 years of age in September, Bardot shows no signs of “retiring” from her mission to save animals, the planet and human health.

Alanis Morissette “Health Magazine” December 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Environmental Media Awards 2009

You outta know that Alanis Morissette has been following a mostly vegan diet after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s book, Eat To Live.

Alanis recently interviewed with Health Magazine where she discussed her diet habits, including the fact she loves to put a pat of vegan butter on her popcorn.

“I love snacking on popcorn with balsamic vinegar, vegan butter, and all kinds of spices.”

Thank goodness Alanis has grown to enjoy good food, which is a stark contrast from her eating disorder teen years.

“As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic. I was a young woman in the public eye, on the receiving end of a lot of attention, and I was trying to protect myself from men who were using their power in ways I was too young to know how to handle. Disappointment, sadness and pain hit me hard, and I tried to numb those feelings through my relationship with food. For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee,” “I began recovering at 18, when a sweet friend confronted me.”

And like Woody Harrelson, Alanis discovered a vegan diet is acne’s nightmare.

“I rarely eat dairy. I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin. He was right. My skin looks great now.”

You can read Alanis’ full story in the December 2009 issue of Health magazine.

Stella McCartney Eyewear Luxotticaand Launch Veggie Style

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 13th, 2009 in Fashion.

Glamour 'Women of the Year' Awards - 2009

Stella McCartney thinks every woman should own 2 pairs of sunglasses, “a classic pair they’ll have forever, and a more playful pair. We’ve added that fun element to the line.”

Stella has launched her collection of eyewear with Luxotticaand at Fireplace Project in East Hampton, New York.

“My mum had this mad pair with Christmas trees on them that I loved when I was little. Sunglasses are one of the only accessories that can really have a sense of humour. But you walk a fine line between looking like a complete idiot and getting it just right.”

Guest like Alasdhair Willis and father Paul McCartney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and Live Schreiber, enjoyed vegetarian foods like corn and black bean pie, veggie burgers and cookies.

Veggies are great for the vision, as researchers have discovered yellow and green vegetables help prevent eye diseases.

Every woman should have two pairs of sunglasses–and a daily side of broccoli and squash.

Jonathan Safran Foer “Quitting Meat Is A Process”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 13th, 2009 in Authors, Food & Drink.

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

Author Jonathan Safran Foer says that for people, including himself, going vegetarian is a lot like Mark Twain described quitting smoking.

“Mark Twain said that quitting smoking is among the easiest things one can do; he did it all the time. I would add vegetarianism to the list of easy things. In high school I became a vegetarian more times than I can now remember…”

Whether you’re trying to go vegetarian, vegan, or flex the process can result in multiple attempts to “get it right” whether the failings are brought on by cravings, environment, financial issues or pure convenience.

The strictest of vegetarians would like to call anyone who even ingests the occasional animal byproduct no longer vegetarian, but is that the best approach to take?

Jonathan gives his take on alternet.org:

“But I wonder if more of the difficulty doesn’t come from the ways that we talk and think about change. When it comes to meat, change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not. It’s a strange formulation, and it’s distracting. (Those who profit from animal suffering and environmental destruction want us to think in dichotomies, rather than practical realities.) Imagine someone asking you, “Are you an environmentalist or not?” For most of us, caring about the environment isn’t an on-off switch, but a set of daily choices that we try to respond to as best we can. I buy energy-efficient products, and turn off lights when leaving a room, and recycle and so on. But I also fly on airplanes. Does my occasional flying completely undermine my identity as someone who cares and tries? Should I, faced with my inability to live consistently, make no efforts to live better?”

Is being a vegetarian a continuous “process” that none of us should expect to get 100% correct?
