Vegetarian Star

Look, it’s a naked man. No, it’s a PETA ad. No, it’s a prostate and testicular cancer prevention ad.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine is posing in UK Cosmo nude in order to bring attention to prostate and testicular cancer and remind men to check for signs and symptoms. The photo shoot, on behalf of the organization Everyman, UK’s prostate and testicular cancer campaign, isn’t something unnatural for Levine, as he claims he’s always naked.

“I often have to be told by the people around me that it’s inappropriate to be as naked as I am,” Levine revealed. “But I live in California, where it’s always warm, so why not.”

Most people would agree that Roseanne Barr is pretty nutty.

She’s offering more proof of this by running her own nut farm. While promoting her latest book, Roseannarchy: Dispatches From the Nut Farm, Barr said nuts beat meat for both environmental and health reasons.

“They’re the perfect protein,” she said. “They don’t have any carbohydrates and the only fat they’ve got, which is a lot, but it’s the good kind. So it’s better than beef. No greenhouse gases. Nice nuts.”

Barr’s favorite nut is the macademia one.

Anyone who breaks an American record for running a 24 hour race probably has good advice on nutrition. Heck, anyone who can run for 24 hours should set the new government guidelines for eating and rebuild the food pyramid.

Vegan ultra marathoner Scott Jurek is about to release a book either by the end of this year or early 2012 that may contain some indispensable advice for plant-fueled athletes like he gave to No Meat Athlete.

Number 1: Go Slowly
Like training for your first marathon, switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet that’s healthy isn’t happening in a week. “I think it’s always good to have a gradual transition; have a plan,” Jurek said. “PCRM does a great 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program and giving support along the way.”

Kathy Freston "Veganist"

Kathy Freston is at it again!

The woman who’s written best selling books like Quantum Wellness Cleanse and convinced Oprah Winfrey to try a vegan diet is set to release another title in February, Veganist: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Change The World.

What exactly is a veganist? Freston has started a blog for the book on her website, where she explains the term.

“Someone who moves toward eating a plant based diet so that they are as physically healthy as they can be, environmentally friendly, and a kind and thoughtful human being. And it’s not about being pure or strict; it’s about being informed and having fun while living according to values like kindness and thoughtfulness. Truly, I believe in progress, not perfection!”

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is rumored to play Paul Watson in an upcoming film on the anti-whaling activist’s life, “Ocean Warrior: The Paul Watson Story.”

McGregor will portray Watson’s life during his earlier days of activism with Greenpeace and starting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Watson seems pleased with the film’s producer’s choice for him, as he wrote about it on a site about enviornmentalism.

“I think he will do a good job, although I would love to see long time Sea Shepherd supporter Christian Bale take the part. As for a leading lady my favourite actress has always been Sophie Marceau, but the choice is not mine unfortunately.”

Last month, Betty Crocker Facebook fans picked alternative diets that included vegan and gluten-free cooking as a top holiday trend.

Kristen Olson, Food Editor of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen, is riding the wave Betty Crocker fans are on and has provided a recipe for vegan sugar cookies.

Soymilk replaces dairy milk and vegan margarine gives the same buttery taste and texture of the real thing. You may have heard of commercially produced egg substitutes, but did you know 2 tablespoons of cornstarch accomplish the same purpose?

Grab the recipe for Betty Crocker’s Sugar Cookies. Interested in more vegan Betty Crocker recipes? Maybe you should meet the Shannons.

Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank joins Jeremy Piven in the group of fishing eating vegetarian celebrities who came down with a case of mercury poisoning.

Swank said for her role in “Million Dollar Baby,” she increased her consumption of seafood for more protein to put on weight and paid severely.

“I put on 19 pounds of muscle: I was 29, I was a vegetarian and suddenly I was eating so much fish that I got elevated mercury problems,” Swank was quoted as saying.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

“People want to know what I’m using. If I’m not hard core I’ll get my ass handed to me on a silver platter for that. So I do stay very true to the vegan code of ethics. But I’m not a judgmental person about that because I feel that it is a very difficult challenge anyway. When you’re overhauling what you’re using on your body and what you’re eating it can be exhausting. People do the best they can. Everything is a process, and if you’re okay with having some beeswax in your products, then that works for you. I’m not Judgey McJudge. I like to give people alternatives. I’m not the vegan police.”

—Kim Barnouin, author and chef on the different  levels of veganism. Bill Clinton eats the occasional fish. Some may still eat honey or use beeswax. But with the list of everything that’s derived from or uses animal products, can any vegan point the finger?
