Kevin Bacon receives Merit Award at USO 28th Annual Awards Dinner in Arlington, Virginia

Don’t let the name fool you.

Just because Kevin Bacon‘s got pork in his surname, doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy vegan food.

The actor was spotted grabbing a bite to eat at vegetarian restaurant Real Food Daily in West Hollywood, according to Access Hollywood.

And how’s this for a Six Degrees of Separation game?

Kevin Bacon is married to Kyra Sedgwick.

Kyra is the sister of Rob Sedgwick.

Rob owns and operates a vegan ice cream parlor, Stogo, in New York City.

Lea Michele "Asos Magazine"

Lea Michele "Asos Magazine"

Lea Michele is on the cover of the May 2010 issue of Asos Magazine.

Inside, starting on page 75 is an interview with the Glee actress, where she reveals that she is currently a macrobiotic vegan. To the disappointment of vegetarians and vegans, she may soon become a pescatarian as she’s reintroducing fish into her diet.

Michele may feel she needs the fish protein for her health, as she’s also been giving herself B12 shots.

The National Institutes of Health lists sources of B12 from foods on its website.

The effects of B12 deficiency may include anemia, fatigue, and neurological symptoms such as numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.

While vegetarians can get B12 from dairy sources like yogurt and milk, it’s been argued that vegans may run into problems and often need supplements.

However, looking at the list of NIH sources reveals fortified cereals as one of the top three, with only beef liver and clams ahead.

Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or something in between, try starting your next morning with a bowl of granola or wheat bran flakes cereal drenched in cold, refreshing soy milk.

Still Life of a Chocolate Cup Cake Decorated with Heart Shapes

CNN has some great coverage of Global Vegan Bake Sale, an event that officially ends today.

According to the article, over 120 groups across six continents held bake sales to show people how delicious dairy, poultry and cruelty-free desserts can be.

Pictures of bake sales from New York, Romania, Australia and Ireland can be found in a slideshow on the site.

We think we spy some vegan peanut butter chocolate cups that look inspired by a recipe from Alicia Silverstone‘s cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Recipe Generator–What The Fu*k Should I Make For Dinner?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 in Food & Drink, Offbeat, Recipes, Tech.

Businessman Deep in Thought

Profanity and good food go together like vegan marshmallows and graham.

Maybe that’s why the developers of the online recipe generator, What the Fu*k Should I Make For Dinner? combined the two for a foul mouthed database of meals for all appetites.

The recipe generator gives you the option of choosing either vegetarian or non vegetarian food.

When you go to the home page, a suggestion is made, usually for meat like, “Try some fu*king spiced roast chicken breast.”

You then have the option of either:
1. Clicking on the suggestion for the recipe.
2. Clicking on “I don’t fu*king like that,” or
3. “I don’t fu*king eat meat.”

Choosing option #3 will then suggest various vegetarian dishes, prefixing them with phrases like, “Cook Up Some Fu*king” or “Why Don’t You Eat Some Fu*king” or “My Crunchy Granola Ass Wants Some Fu*king.”

All of these colorful words just to get a recipe for edamame hummus with spiced pita chips.

If you don’t like the current option, simply click on “I Don’t Fu*king Like That,” and the generator will give you another.

No clue why the developer felt the need to be so vulgar, but since it’s hard to find a recipe database that’s so vegetarian friendly, we think the NSFW friendliness can be forgiven.

Pamela Anderson Questions Ambassador On Seal Hunt Subsidies

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, April 30th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

8th Annual TV Land Awards - Show

Pamela Anderson says seals are being killed, but no one’s buying.

In a letter to the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S., Gary Doer, Pamela questions the continuation of the annual seal hunt despite signs the market is declining.

She then questions if the government is subsidizing hunters.

“Why it is that sealers in Québec were forced to throw their pelts overboard because of the lack of markets, while in Newfoundland, a certain processor is seemingly able to find people willing to pay double last year’s value of a pelt?”

“Given sealing-industry insiders’ reports of a negative market outlook for this year and given the accounts claiming that some processors have two to three years of pelts stockpiled that they cannot get rid of, who or where is the market for the 65,000 seals who have been killed this year.”

According to PETA, Pamela made the effort to personally hand deliver the letter with her questions to Mr. Doer.

Canada’s seal hunt ended early this year, a combination of both reduced demand and low harvest.

According to Harpseals, Larry Yetman, fisheries resource management officer for the Newfoundland and Labrador coastal region, pretty much confirmed Pamela’s statements regarding the demand for pelts.

Although pelt prices were selling for nearly double compared to last year’s–at $21–fisherman knew their efforts to collect would not be profitable, as the number of ships that launched from Newfoundland’s ports was down by 500.

“Every sealer in Newfoundland would have considered going out on the ice for that price, but there aren’t any buyers,” Yetman said.
