Vegetarian Star

Woody Harrelson doesn’t find pleasure in mac and cheese, warm cornbread, or any other traditional comfort food.

If the zombies invaded Hollywood much like they did in Zombieland, Woody would be headed for the produce section of the store, not the sweet aisle to find Twinkies like his Zombieland character Tallahassee.

“I’d be searching for a mango,” Woody told New York Times. “Or an avocado. It really is a tough call between the two.”

Avocado?

Maybe Woody should pay Jason Mraz a visit. He, Jason and Olivia Wilde could go crazy on the green fruit.

What’s your comfort food during hard or stressful times, zombies or no zombies peeking through your window?

Moby arrived in Mexico City as part of his recent tour and said la comida is bueno!

“just arrived in mexico city. and just had tortillas y frijoles negros y guacamole. see, it’s easy to be vegan in mexico. well, as long as they don’t get crazy with the manteca.”

Yes, when in Mexico, pile on the heart healthy and fiber filled black beans on the tortillas with plenty of salsa and good for you fat avocado.

Just say “no, gracias” to the manteca, which is fat, many times lard in Mexican dishes.

If you can’t make it to Mexico City, you can at least make it to your grocer’s freezer, where you’ll find several frozen Amy’s Mexican entrees like Burritos and Wraps, or Black Bean Enchilada and Black Bean Tamale Verde.

It’s no secret now that Woody Harrelson had strict requirements for the set of Zombieland to be eco friendly during filming, including banning plastic water bottles and using biodegradable plates and utensils.

“The first two were fairly reasonable about casting and crew. The third was that we have an environmentally conscious set,” said director Ruben Fleischer.

Woody also wanted Fleischer to go to cheese rehab.

“And the fourth was that I don’t eat dairy for a week.”

No easy feat for Fleischer, the cheeseaholic.

“For me to not eat cheese is like for an alcoholic not to drink. I had a hard time, especially since it was Memorial Day when he asked me and there were all the summer barbecues. But I ended up being a vegetarian for 11 months as a result.”

Terence Gerchberg was the poor vegetarian soul on The Amazing Race who ate sheep rear during an eating challenge-only to throw it up moments later and be disgusted with the whole ordeal.

Since his stint on Amazing Race, he’s become vegan, according to The “V” Word, and made an appearance at this weekend’s Farm Sanctuary Walk For Animals.

“There was a surprise visit from Terence Gerchberg who competed on The Amazing Race last season. Gerchberg was a vegetarian who faced a challenge to eat meat for money. Today Terence is a vegan who says if ever faced with such a challenge again, he would never go against his ethics and values. Inspiring!”

Way to go Terence!

Besides Terence, Jane Velez-Mitchell gave a speech on her rescue dogs, New York State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal spoke on pets and domestic violence situations, and Shawn Sweeney from the Jane Goodall Institute shared his experiences from the Institute.

Much veggie ado is taking place on Jane Velez-Mitchell‘s Facebook.

A fan recently asked Jane, a vegan, if she was thinking of bringing her dogs over to that side, too.

“Hey Jane, I was just wondering, since you own Chihuahuas and your a vegetarian, do you have your dogs eating “meat-free” dog food? There are such products for dogs and cats of owners that are vegans, but dogs and cats are naturally meat eaters, so I think its bad to their health to restrict meat from their diet. What do you think?”

A vegetarian Chihuahua?

Yo quiero comida sin carne!

Lots of pet owners, including celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Shahid Kapoor, and Paul McCartney, have put their dogs and cats on vegetarian diets, with special attention being paid to cats since it’s essential to have food that contains taurine, found mainly in chicken.

But vegan dog and cat food exists.

Have you made your pet go veg?

Did Whiskers enjoy the new meatless dish or did he develop a Goode Family dog Che syndrome?
