Vegetarian Star

Vegan singer and musician Jason Mraz has recently revealed on his blog what he consumes for the most important meal of the day.

“The secret to a great day is how you start your day. And for the past year and a half I’ve avoided eating a heavy traditional breakfast. Instead, I merrily jumpstart my day with the ever-so-awesome Vitamineral Green from Healthforce Nutritionals”

“One heaping scoop of this stuff in the morning provides an insane amount of goodness for the body. The powdered greens (from dehydrated plants and algae among other things) taken by itself is enough to live on. It goes straight to the blood and straight to the brain and stays with you all day. I stir mine every morning with ONE-Brand Coconut Water, but I prefer to blend it also with some Flax Oil, Freelife Goji Juice, Avocados, Maca Spice (the Peruvian Viagra) and a few dates. I even do Cayenne pepper on mornings that I want something savory. The flavor options are unlimited and there’s no way you can overdose on the stuff.”

“Think about it for a second, would you rather start your day with something fattening and/or sugary that ends up around your waist or deep in your ass, or would you rather feel light and energized with a glow that people can recognize? Remember, you are what you eat.”

Healtforce Nutritionals is a 100% gluten-free product company that is probably anointing Jason’s feet with oil now that they’ve gotten such a big plug.

As Alanis Morissette would say, “Isn’t It Ironic?”

Just a day after we posed the question of whether or not vegetarians and vegans should make more efforts stay away from substances, vegan singer Chrissie Hynde announces she’s giving up alcohol. Again.

“I last drank two weeks ago and I’ve put the cork in the bottle – I’m never drinking again. I’ve said it a few hundred times before, but I mean it this time.”

The decision came after a night of several drinks and wild times.

Apparently Chrissie did some Katy Perry thing with a girl and it surprised her.

“I think I tried to snog a girl. I woke up and thought, ‘I can’t be doing stuff like that!'”

Several celebrities have recorded PSAs that deal with issues discussed in Food Inc., a movie where filmmaker Robert Kenner exposes the truths about our nation’s food supply, from the pitfalls of factory farming to safety of workers harvesting food in the fields.

NBA legend John Salley has recorded a clip titled “Animals As Food”, where he discusses the unpleasant realities of factory farmed meat.

“Believe it or not, most supermarket food does not grow on that pretty little farm you see on the package,” John says, as he makes a pitch for vegetarianism, citing the pollution caused from livestock gases.

Comedian Carol Leifer, author of When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win, recently became vegan.

She lost 20 pounds in the process and says if you go vegan, both your clothes and animals will thank you.

Leifer also took a moment to show her humorous side, saying “I recently became vegan because I felt that as a Jewish lesbian, I wasn’t part of a small enough minority. So now I’m a Jewish lesbian vegan.”

For awhile she had some company, as Jewish, lesbian comedian Dana Goldberg was at one point a vegan. Now, Goldberg continues to remain vegetarian.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed recently applauded Heather Mills for bringing vegetarianism to the media eye and opening her new vegan restaurant and cafe V Bites, saying more celebrities should do the same.

“More world celebrities should come forward to promote vegetarianism and persuade their fans to go vegetarian, thus contributing to a healthier world,” Zed said, in a statement to USA Today Nevada. Zed is the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism.

Zed pointed out that Hinduism promotes strict vegetarianism, and insists on ahimsa (not harming living creatures) and renouncing animal slaughter and meat eating. It also suggests taking of sattvik (vegetables, fruits) and avoiding rajasik (eggs) and tamasik (meat, intoxicants) foods.

Natalie Portman will be making a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef in the upcoming season six, which premiers Wednesday, August 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Since Nat is a hard core vegan, the cheftestants will probably be given the challenge of whipping up something meatless, eggless, and dairyless for the actress.

Top Chef had a vegan experience last year, when the Food Fighters were invited during the Thanksgiving episode and requested the chefs cater for their crew of 60 people, some of which were vegetarian.

The vegan cornbread stole the show last year. Will another veg dish be a big hit?

Crossing our fingers none of the cheftestants “chicken” out like last year’s Carla and go with a meaty dish when they really wanted to make a vegetarian one.

Casey Kasem, radio host known for counting down the top music hits on “American Top 40,” did his final countdown on his “American Top 20” radio show this weekend.

His fans are clutching their hearts, as Kasem didn’t even do an official farewell or give advance notice.

“He’s never been big on goodbyes or hellos, he lets his work speak for himself,” his wife said, in an interview with ABC news.

Besides radio, Kasem gave his voice to cartoon characters, with his most famous gig being the voice of dog Scooby-Doo’s human sidekick, Shaggy.

Kasem once said, “What’s terrific today is the idea that as a vegetarian you are not only making a contribution to the animals, but also to your health and the safety of the planet.”

Wherever his next endeavors lead him, one thing’s for sure. As his slogan sign-off says, he’ll keep his “feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

John Salley wants his own Food Network show!

From blogs.ajc.com:

“I’m shopping around for a cooking show. And I plan to do a reality show with my family, my wife and three kids. I’m about to take a flight to meet with NBC. And I’m trying to sell my cooking show concept to the Food Network.”

John has already created his own line of vegan, organic snack foods that he’s promoting.

It would be great to watch him whip up some of that Slam Dunk Guacamole on television.

And a nice alternative to watching Paula Deen put 10 pounds of butter in a casserole while she brags about bringing gifts of ham during the Holiday season.
