Vegetarian Star

Mayim Bialik is a green mommy, making her own shampoo, cleaning and granola products for her family.

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.”

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.

Keep workin’ the vegan chips, Daniel!

“Sometimes I’m amazed that we are still breathing. With horrible abuses of animals, the planet and human kind, it’s amazing that we are still here. But now I’m really afraid that our beloved country, America, is standing on its last wobbly legs. I’m worried that the karmic effects of our negative actions will finally come home to roost. Our lack of compassion and love could actually consume us. However, we are still being given signs from the universe, glimpses of hope and opportunities to rise up and live up to our promise. The whole world wants us to succeed. The whole world wants us to lead.”

—Russell Simmons, in an article at huffingtonpost.com on America’s future.

If America is expected to be the leader, how close is it to setting a good example for animal welfare and nutrition for its citizens?

Much like Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray, Alicia Silverstone has also opened her refrigerator to allow the celebrity chef and everyone else see what she might stock in any given day.

Here’s a peek for you food voyeurists:

RR: I don’t like regular mayonnaise, but I see you have Vegenaise—does that taste anything like mayo?

AS: I have friends who eat meat who started eating Vegenaise and love it—I don’t see any difference at all. If anything, it’s richer and creamier. You should try it!

RR: We’ll see—it’s a texture issue for me. You have almond butter in there—do you like it better than peanut butter?

AS: I know almond butter is better for me, but I do sometimes eat peanut butter. I use it mostly to make my version of Rice Krispies Treats, which I’m very proud of. I’ll give you the recipe!

Actually, we can do that.

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 answers the question of what it means to “eat kind.”

“Eating “Kind” is about being really, really good to yourself and the planet via the foods you put into your body. A plant-based diet filled with whole and organic foods will give you tons of energy, mental clarity, gorgeous skin and a zest for life. But this kindness also extends to the earth itself; by requiring less fuel, water, and other resources, a plant-based diet is much lighter on the planet. And because it is clean, this diet helps our soil, water and atmosphere get healthy as well.”

Don’t miss your chance to learn to eat kinder and help yourself, animals, and the planet.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Whether it’s for convenience, an inability to give up some foods, or whatever your reasons, the “almost vegans” may find it hard to categorize themselves while bringing up their diets with other people.

To the “almost vegans” out there, you have famous company.

Mayim Bialik, almost vegan, describes her position as this:

“I don’t call myself vegan in political vegan circles, because I do eat eggs if it is in something, or dairy if it is in something and I taste it, it is okay with me. Our son is raised pretty much the same. As I said, in political circles, vegans don’t consider me vegan, but I don’t eat dairy or eggs, or fish or anything with a face or a nervous system. If I am around vegans, I say I am a vegetarian who doesn’t eat dairy or eggs. I also don’t wear leather.”

What are some of your politically incorrect vegan habits?

Do you keep your home vegan, but eat dairy if there’s a batch of cookies in the office?

So you want to go vegetarian, but don’t think you can do without the cow every now and then.

How on earth are you going to survive?

Skinny Bitch co-author Rory Freedman suggests replacing your favorite meats with a plant version.

“Have that same meal, but just change it up to something plant based,” Rory said, according to Latimesmagazine.com. “So instead of a steak, have a tofu steak. Use Earth Balance (vegan butter) in your mashed potatoes or almond milk on your cereal.”

Lightlife  Steak Style Strips are good way to pump up your fajita or stir fry.

And seitan makes a wonderful base to bread, fry, saute and season to taste.

Once you’ve created your own animal free Country Fried Steak and Gravy, you’ll wonder why you ever started out with a bloody dish in the first place.
