Vegetarian Star

In case you missed the last episode of NBC’s Parenthood, here’s one of the more important lessons from the episode: If a child is going vegetarian, there’s nothing you can do to stop it. That and make sure you know how to make “Seitan Crappola.”

Six-year old Sydney Graham informs her mother she won’t be eating her former favorite meal of chicken because she’s now gone veg. Mom Julia is supportive, but when grandparents Camille and Zeek come over with Sydney’s former favorite lasagna with meat, there is a show-down.

Anthony Bourdain may never be president of the Vegan of the Month Club, but in recent years, the chef and author who said vegans are a “persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn,” has stood up for some of the very same animal cruelty and sustainable food principles vegetarians have.

Treehugger highlighted this during a review of Bourdain’s book, Medium Rare, where he says he and PETA are alike in that he doesn’t want animals to suffer and that people should be eating less meat.

“I invest in things that I have faith in. For example, building a financial company (UniRush Financial Services) that serves people who were thrown away by the banks which developed a technology that speaks to the middle class. It has to be an idea that is aligned to the principles I live by. I don’t have any products that I don’t believe in. I won’t take part in the suffering of animals, exploitation of people or abuse of the planet. I can’t say that I’m a vegan and then own a steakhouse. It’s a karmic thing–you get what you give. It’s kind of nice when you’re serving the planet. I can go to sleep.”

Animal advocates and experts constantly debate this, and Jane Goodall recently shared her thoughts on chimpanzees living in confined conditions.

The wild is by far the most natural way of living for a chimp, but according to Goodall, it may not be the protected sanctuary activists are so willing to label it.

Comedian and co-executive producer of Rules of Engagement Carol Leifer has a serious tip for those wanting to save the planet.

When Mother Nature Network asked her to share her tip for going green, Leifer replied:

“Did you know that by going vegan you are so much more ecological and green than anything else? You make so much more of a statement with your fork than what you drive. So go vegan, people. Do it for the environment. And do it for your health, too.”

Don’t believe that eating nuts, legumes and grains damages the planet less than consuming steak and burgers? Calculate the cost of your next meal using the Food Emissions Calculator.

Gangsta’s Paradise went gourmet when Coolio released a cookbook in 2009 titled, “Cookin’ With Coolio: 5 Star Meals At A 1 Star Price.”

Coolio’s book happens to have an entire chapter devoted to vegetarians as well as one titled “Salad Eatin-Bitches” for those that aren’t interested in “Pimpin’ the Poultry.”

If you’re still trying to contain your laughter, you should also know this book received an average of 4.5/5 stars by reviewers on Amazon who also had pleasant things to say about how well the book actually teaches cooking skills, something also illustrated in Coolio’s web-based cooking show, “Cooking With Coolio.”
