Vegetarian Star

George W. Bush recently gave a speech at Lubbock Christian University, where he confirmed what every vegan loves to hear: They are free to worship seitan.

Bush said Americans should be able to worship any religion they like and began naming a few before he said “vegan,” getting a roar of laughter from the audience.

“No one should say I’m more American than you by their faith,” Bush added. “I don’t know how to be president without faith,” he continued and then discussed how he was touched by people who often told him they were praying for him.

Bush’s niece, Lauren Bush, is a member of the vegetarian congregation.

Who knew George W. had such a great sense of humor?

Update: V  Bites The Bronx isn’t here yet.

Vegan foodies in the U.S. will be glad to hear that Heather Mills has opened a V Bites restaurant in the Bronx, New York.

This comes just months after the grand opening of V Bites in Hove Lagoon in the UK.

Heather personally was present at the opening yesterday afternoon.

Heather’s no stranger to the area, as she’s worked with a charity of hers, Hunts Point Alliance, serving underprivileged Bronx children and families.

Last year, Heather donated over a million dollars of vegan food to children and families in the Bronx area and has also taught weekend cooking classes.

It was rumored months ago that Heather was looking in the NY area to open her vegan restaurant, but after V Bites in the UK opened its doors, many assumed Heather was done for awhile.

Thank goodness she’s like the vegan Energizer Bunny and shows no signs of stopping.

So back when Jason Mraz called himself a vegan fishitarian, we wondered if Jason really did sneak some occasional fish or was attempting another one of his sarcastic remarks.

We feared the worst, and it’s true. According to sfgate.com, Jason remains vegan for most of the time, but gives in to flipper ever now and then.

Q: Do you ever give into temptation and microwave a convenience store bacon cheeseburger?

A: No, I never give in. Only when I’m home in San Diego. That’s when you might find me pulling in for a fish taco.

Ah, the disappointment!

Jason’s diet for the other 99% of the time is convenient as it saves him the hassle of prep time on the road.

“My food is mostly raw vegan. You don’t have to cook too much when you’re in that world. So I might steam some quinoa, and then everything else is just fresh produce. Otherwise you’re eating truck-stop food, which is no bueno.”

Jason Mraz and the fish taco. Russell Simmons and his occasional egg noodles. Are there any good 100% real vegan men standing?

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

The 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards featured Saphoros Skincare Company’s brand, LJ Botanicals as a gift for the Everybody Wins at the EMMY® Awards gift bag, distributed by Distinctive Assets.

Did 2nd time in a row winner Alec Baldwin use some of LJ Botanicals vegan moisturizers to touch up his pretty face during commercial breaks?

The Vegan Skincare Essentials System was chosen for the gift bag, which includes a gentle cleanser, toner, exfoliator, eye treatment and moisturizer.

The kit was also presented in 100% recycled packaging.

Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary said, “As our largest organ, our skin is no less susceptible to the good and bad we put on it. The healthier and more natural our skincare regime, the better (and younger) our skin will look and feel. That’s the reason I love this new vegan skincare line by Saphoros. And even if you’re less vegan and more vain, the efficacy of this exciting new line will have you blogging, ranting and raving to all of your friends!”

Donna Standridge, CEO of Saphoros Skin Line said, “The demand for more natural and vegan products is growing tremendously. The public is becoming increasingly more aware of what they are putting on their skin and have begun educating themselves on ingredients and potential dangers of some of them. Our ultimate goal is to provide the most safe and effective products as we can using natural and organic alternatives, and this set shows that. There are so many natural/organic alternatives to these anti-aging chemicals that work just as well, if not better, and are safer for our bodies. We want to show that luxury doesn’t have to be complicated.”

Russell Simmons made a Tweet recently discussing the cultural use of the “N-word” among young African-Americans and those in hip hop culture.

“Honestly I’m more concerned about people eating animals or abusing the planet or sitting still for wars then the use of n word”

Russell’s stance on putting issues that affect everyone before any particular group is reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde‘s statement that she didn’t give a falafel about feminism, only meat eaters and non meaters.

However, to make sure no one was offended, Russell followed up with this Tweet:

“I do not like to say hurtful things to people .some are offended by the n word for those who are I apologize”

Any thoughts?

“We shouldn’t make kids dissect animals,” Steve says.

“They should have the choice to say, ‘On a moral level, I’m not into that.'”

As a student, did you (or do you still) have problems with being able to refuse dissecting in class?
