“A lot of the reason is the attitude that if you slip up, there is no use trying it anymore. Imagine applying that to anything else: truth telling or being kind to strangers. If every time we slipped up, we said, “I’m done trying,” then what would we be left with?”

–author Jonathan Safran Foer, when asked why people become ex-vegetarians.

Do you agree with his answer?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 30th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.

While we’re still waiting for John Salley‘s natural food line to come out, it’s still exciting to hear Spider Legs discuss his favorite meals he likes to whip up at home.

The NBA legend is a fan of vegan mayonnaise Vegenaise and enjoys smothering it on an avocado sandwich and washing the whole thing down with some homemade root beer.

“I do something like an avocado sandwich with Vegenaise, mustard, live sprouts, grape tomatoes and some toasted bread,” Salley told Tampa Bay. “I eat avocado almost every day. I may mix bananas, mangoes, papayas and blend it up.”

Moby At Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary Highlights (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 30th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

A video on Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary features a talk with Moby, who recently performed an acoustic, benefit show on the grounds.

Moby says his favorite animals at the sanctuary are goats.

“They generally tend to have the most personality,” Moby said.

Growing up, some of Moby’s earliest memories were of him, pet rats, cats and dogs–all hanging around the bathtub. The turkey sitting next to him seems very interested in this story, but probably got a little offended that he wasn’t named a favorite.

For more information on the sanctuary, visit WoodstockSanctuary.org.

Thanks to @dakotalane for the tip!

“How many people have hybrids in this town, how many people recycle? Being vegetarian is so much more eco-conscious. And it’s lovely to know that when you are eating it’s ethical and nothing had to die. I’d have a veggie burger even when I was eating meat.”

Owain Yeoman, star on The Mentalist, at Peta’s 30th anniversary gala. Although he said a raw food experiment “didn’t sit well,” with him, Yeoman’s been a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for 6 month, making him super green and eco-conscious.

NASHVILLE, TN - DECEMBER 02:  Football fans eat food from the tailgate of their truck prior to the start of the NFL game between the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans on December 02, 2007 at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee. Born and bred into American sporting culture the act of tailgating is a tradition practiced unlike anywhere else in the world. Tailgating by definition is the act of partying or picnicking around a vehicle in a car park prior to the start of a sporting event. At any major sporting event in the United States you will find die hard fans, all settling into car parks surrounding the stadium, hours before the event even begins. Tailgaters, young and old drink, play games, barbeque and party, rain, hail or snow and often in unusual places, just about anywhere it?s possible to park a car and setup a barbeque. What started as a small pre-game picnic held out of the back of a pickup truck has now evolved into a multibillion-dollar business, with participant numbers estimated at over 50 million over the course of a season. The tailgating industry has taken off, with thousands of websites devoted to tailgating, a magazine, a convention and even its own trade association. Specialized tailgating equipment such as trailers fully equipped with everything from full bar facilities, specially designed cooking areas,  flat screen TV?s,  toilets, satellite dishes and generators have also been introduced. Tailgating has become as much of a sport as the football games it was born around, so much so many fans turn up just to tailgate and never even see the inside of the stadium.
