Vegetarian Star

After gathering a fan base from his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show, Dr. Mehmet Oz, better known as Dr. Oz, has his own gig!

Today he’ll feature a steak loving cowboy who takes a 28 day vegan challenge.

A Howard Lyman wannabe?

We sure hope so.

Check out the video for a premier of what will take place on the show, and a list of TV stations in your area where Dr. Oz can be viewed.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, First Lady of France and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, enjoyed vegan fare from Candle Cafe at an event intended to honor her for her work with Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Carla was accompanied by her husband and Jordan’s Queen Rania.

The party was hosted by Peter Chernin and Tom Freston along with his wife, author Kathy Freston, who happens to be vegan.

Other guests included Brian Grazer, Charlie Rose, Christy Turlington and Howard Schultz

Carla is already fur-free, as she announced this several months ago.

Will the delish vegan food from Candle Cafe make her want to go meat-free as well?

Nothing’s better than sharing the good news of vegan food.

Travis McCoy got The Ghost to try a vegan buffalo wing and we think The Ghost is converted.

From Travis’ Tweet:

“I got Ghost to a vegan buffalo wing! And the verdict: “These shits bang shen!!!!!”

We think that means they were delicious, tasty, bad ass, etc.

Check out this pic of The Ghost holding one darn bang shen vegan buffalo wing.

Veganism is supposed to include diet and lifestyle, so presumably, a vegan who wore leather really isn’t “vegan” according to some strict standards.

Journalist Nicole Lapin, who calls herself a vegan, recently said she does eat honey.

Is Nicole really not a vegan for eating honey?

According to a definition of veganism from vegetus.org:

“Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals (Stepaniak).”

Although honey is not a product extracted from the bee itself, bees do produce it for their own food.

And beemakers force bees to make excess amounts of honey, so they’ll have food left after the honey is harvested.

Is this exploitation?

When bees aren’t producing enough, beekeepers give them supplements, usually mixed with sugar and water.

Blah! That’s like replacing the gourmet almond spread with generic brand peanut butter!

But most vegans who don’t consume any other animal derived or made product except honey don’t want to call themselves just vegetarian.

And those occasional fish eaters will stand by their vegetarianism.

Is it time to create sub definitions for vegan and vegetarian?

Andrew G. had the chance to Tweet about a vegan pie just before the carbs took their toll.

“Vegan pie Floater from Funky Pies in Bondi, nap soon. Coz that’s how I roll, huge serve of carbs then straight to sleep…”

Funky Pies is a great place to catch some vegan food in an Australian eatery that’s eco-conscious in every aspect of its business.

Besides serving great vegan food like “Brekkie’ Rolls” of Veg-sausage mix, beans, tomato, ‘bacon’ bits and “Funky Chunky” and “No Wurry Curry,” Funky Pies using biodegradable packing in all their take out products, serves fair trade coffee, and boasts its staff uniforms are made in sweatshop free factories.

Angie Stephenson, the self titled “Director of Funk” says on the website about Funky Pies’ specialization:

“That’s an easy one, who doesn’t love a good pie? You don’t have to be Aussie to enjoy a nice hot tasty pie with deliciously flaky pastry. You can get dodgy pies though, so I wanted to provide a product that was not only quick to cook and easy to eat, but a healthy alternative to the more common ‘meat’ pie where you are really not sure what part of an animal you are eating…mmm.”

We hear you, Angie. Mystery meat is totally different kind of funky.

Victoria Moran recently sat down with some veg food loving eco chicks to discuss all things protein.

The ladies, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemingway, and Chloe Jo Berman, named a few of their favorite concentrated sources of protein.

Here is a list the gals drafted.

* leafy greens
* beans, especially in chili
* hemp seeds
* seitan
* tempeh
* hummus
* quinoa

We’re thinking you could jot these down and make the list your “cheat sheet” in case you can’t decide what to eat for your next meal.

For you professional vegs who reach into the cabinet and pull a super protein meal or snack together without realizing it, maybe there’s something on here you’ve forgotten about.

Regardless of where you stand in vegetarian knowledge, this list could always come in handy when you get the ever so annoying question from your Big Mac lovin’ cousins of, “How do you get your protein?

Actor David Duchovny and author Kathy Freston were both spotted at Candle Cafe recently, enjoying some vegan grub.

Ahem…they were eating at separate tables.

Don’t want to get any of those rumors started.

Kathy, author of the Quantum Wellness books is a well known vegan and David has been spotted at vegan friendly restaurants in the past.

Is Duchovny a closet tofu eater?

Sure we’ll find out sooner or later.

Bored To Death premiered last night on HBO starring vegan Jason Schwartzman, who plays a pot smoking, drinking guy who ruminates too much about the sad parts of his life.

Schwartzman co-wrote Bored To Death, which is probably why there are so many vegan references in the television series.

Schwartzman’s character, Jonathan Ames, calls himself a non-practicing vegan and hooks up with a “radical vegan” helicopter mom (Parker Posey) in one episode, who sends him on a mission to recover her son’s skateboard from a group of bad street kids.

Here’s a clip from episode 2 of Bored To Death above.
