Vegetarian Star

Vegetarians need a symbol. Sure, you might find a circled “V” on food products meaning they’re veggie or vegan, but we need an official law which will denote items as lacto-ovo, vegan and so forth. Being vegetarian means you stand for a lot of things. Essentially, it’s the symbol good health, good food, animal rights and a healthy environment. Speaking of symbols, they’re are some darn hot celebrities associated with them.

Kesha‘s (K$sha) got a symbol in her name. Prince used to be a symbol. Between the two vegetarians, who would you rather…

Elizabeth Hurley has made herself famous for her fantastic statements and gestures of health for people and animals.

As Borat would say, “NOT!”

From her “healthy” organic dinners containing meat, to admitting her love for beef jerky and other processed meats, and revealing too much information about sex on a dead animal by the fireplace, she never seems to impress. Lately, she’s mouthing off on Twitter about how breakfast isn’t necessary for adults, even if the doctors say so.

Comedian Margaret Cho is donating a portion of proceeds from her latest tour for her comedy CD Cho Dependent to the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi. The institute is helping to rescue and rehabilitate animals affected by the Gulf oil spill. Cho’s tour starts August 26th and ends on December 2nd.

Since April 20th, 2010, the IMMS has responded to over 200 dolphins and sea turtles and has rescued more than 30 live sea turtles.

They’ve posted a video on their site, which can be seen below, showing four species of sea turtles enjoying life in the healthy waters as they should. The clip, titled, “Baby Sea Turtle Ballet,” features four baby turtles formerly covered in oil that were saved by IMMS: the Hawksbill, Kemp’s Ridley, the Green, and the Loggerhead.

After hearing the news that casino owner Steve Wynn has mandated all his restaurants serve vegan options, we’ve discovered a source that gives more detail as to how a meat, fish, egg and dairy-free Vegas lover can satisfy themselves at his Las Vegas and Encore resorts.

We’re please to say, after looking over the offerings, there’s no sign of what Vegan.com called a “half-assed grilled vegetable plate slop” at Red 8, Okada, The Pizza Place or any of his other dozen restaurants.

But here’s a sample of what you may order instead:

At Okada: cold soba noodles; hot udon; robata grilled vegetables; fried vegetable roll with vegan tempura dipping sauce; agedashi edamame tofu; coconut lime pudding.

Myq Kaplan

This past season, Myq Kaplan gave Last Comic Standing viewers a tickle with his self-deprecating jokes and quips about veganism here and there. Myq didn’t win the grand prize, but stood for quite some time, making it into the finals and getting good reviews from blogs.

Myq spoke to VegNews about the benefits of appearing on Last Comic, including joking how it’s “opened a lot of doors for interviews with vegan magazines.”

VN: What was your relationship like with the other contestants? Did you ever discuss veganism with them?
MK: I’m pretty friendly with everyone on the show. I believe veganism comes up every so often, at mealtimes and the like. If people ask me questions, I answer them. I generally try not to force the issue at all, but if people are curious, I like providing reasonable amounts of information.

Michael Pollan spoke with Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN recently about the recent recall of 550 billion eggs nationwide due to salmonella concerns.

Pollan thinks a single authority over food safety issues like the one president Obama recommended last year would help curtail these issues.

“Our food industry has fought to keep power divided and power divided is never strong,” Pollan said.
