Vegetarian Star

Sarah Silverman "The Bedwetter"

Besides being about pee, Sarah Silverman‘s new book, The Bedwetter, is a memoir filled with childhood and adolescence memories, both painful and hilarious.

One of the more undesirable memories Silverman has is when several high school athletes held her down in the school cafeteria and put cold cuts in her mouth because she was a vegetarian.

“Yeah, it was awful. It really felt rape-y,” Silverman told Vanity Fair.

Disgusting.

Were they expecting to make foie gras out of her?

Sure hope those bad boys got more than a few days of detention.

Aldo Zilli has taken best restaurant in The Independent‘s Best of Green awards.

Signor Zilli was converted into a vegetarian Italian restaurant in London, Zilli Green, a few months ago.

Although the UK Metro came up short with nice things to say about it, The Independent says Zilli Green wins for featuring multi-cultural seasonal dishes and avoiding the stereotypical vegetarian entrees like veggie burgers.

Bonus: The head chef at Zilli Green, Enzo di Marino, has been a vegan for 12 years, so he’s had plenty of experience sampling anything served to you.

"The Joneses" Movie Poster

The Joneses premiered this weekend, a film starring Demi Moore and David Duchovny about a family that moves into a neighborhood with all the latest accessories and gadgets, secretly serving as marketing puppets to get the neighbors to buy new things.

The movie was filmed in Atlanta and director Derrick Borte spent a lot of time at the Dekalb Farmers Market downtown.

The market restaurant, open seven days a week from 11AM to 8PM, serves fresh meals with a heavy emphasis on vegetables.

Two vegetarian options, the lasagna and the signature samosas, are said to be favorites among customers.

Promoting fresh, local food with plant based options?

Now that’s a trend worth following.

Jillian Michaels "Master Your Metabolism"

Jillian Michaels, one of the coaches from The Biggest Loser, has a diet and health book, Master Your Metabolism: The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot and Healthy Body!

The three themes for the book are Remove, Restore, and Rebalance, which reference to changing the foods that go into your mouth in order to achieve a healthier system (metabolism) that will enable you to lose weight.

Along with resources like shopping lists, tips for eating out and how to eat on a budget, Master Your Metabolism contains recipes.

This is an entire chapter featuring vegetarian main dishes, which is a plus, but it’s a little disappointing that Jillian didn’t choose to make these the focus of the recipes in her book, as she’s a pescatarian who will only eat sustainable seafood.

Most of the foods on her top 10 recommended list, however, are vegetarian–nuts, seeds, legumes, organic dairy, whole grains, fruits and dark, leafy vegetables.

Jake Shields‘ life is chronicled in a new Fight Life documentary.

According to SportSunTrapped, the film touches on Jake’s thoughts about being vegetarian all his life and the cool fact that he’s a dad.

Does little Jake indulge in seitan fingers for an afternoon snack?

Sure hope the kid is taking after his Mixed Martial Arts fighting dad, who’s just done a pro-vegetarian ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Jake hasn’t lost a fight since 2004.

The trailer to the film can be seen above, which includes of shot of him mixing a protein shake.

Alicia Silverstone recently discussed the idea of whether consuming yeast is healthy on her website, The Kind Life.

Yeast is full of B vitamins, something vegetarians may be missing if not supplemented, but are the tiny microorganisms a good way of getting them?

Silverstone called upon her good buddy, vegetarian chef and cookbook author, Christina Pirello, for some advice.

“Nutritional yeast is super yum and has a cheesy taste,” Silverstone wrote. “Lots of vegans get excited about it because they feel it is a good source of b-12, but superheroes and the macro community feel like it’s a bad guy, so I avoid it.?”

Pirello said that some might want to avoid yeast if they experience digestive issues, because it’s believed to inhibit digestion when it expands in the digestive tract.

Think of rising bread rising in your stomach, making a big, bloated ball out of you.

“That said, there is nothing wrong with yeast if you are healthy and strong and well… no reason not to use it,” Pirello says. “I use it in small amounts in some of the breads I bake to create lightness… usually in combination with a sourdough starter so I get the best of both worlds… the fermented benefit of sourdough but the lightness of yeast, plus sourdough allows me to use less yeast. But in truth, there is no problem with yeast if your health and digestion is strong.?”

Yeast and yeast containing foods should also be avoided if trying to overcome a systemic yeast (Candida) infection.

Meatloaf won’t eat a similarly titled entree, so when he was served red meat at the Brit Awards, it was necessary to do some trading.

The Bat Out of Hell singer claims a reporter happen to be looking over his shoulder while the conversation was taking place, and when the story was printed, Meatloaf was the demanding diva of the night.

“I was sat at the ITV table with Frances, who works for me – we got there early and got the perfect seats. All of a sudden, they served red meat which I don’t eat. I didn’t say anything but Frances stood up and very politely – she’s a polite young lady – asked if it was ok if we traded it for a vegetarian meal.”

“All they did was make me sound like a…what’s the English word – prick? Yeah, a pain in the ass. But I never opened my mouth about it! If Frances hadn’t said anything then that plate would have sat in front of me and I would have scraped around for a vegetable or eaten a roll. They made me out to be some sort of stormtrooping diva and I was really upset with that. The little pricks.”

Since when does being assertive when you’re hungry make you a jerk?

Never let the fear of being looked at as bossy get in the way of getting something suitable to eat.

You’re not a stormtrooping diva, prick or asshole.

You’re just a vegetarian.

Earth Week is still going on until April 22 and several celebrities have shared their tips for being more eco friendly with Fox.

Vegetarians Lea Michele and Jenna Ushkowitz have tips and educational facts that will be provided to more than 2,000 radio stations to share during the month of April.

What does Michele do with her leftover orange peelings?

Well, she doesn’t throw them at co-star Cory Monteith.

“In the course of a year, if everyone in the U.S. composted their kitchen scraps instead of sending them to the trash, the organic waste diverted from landfills would cover the entire city of San Francisco,” Michele said.

Jenna Ushowitz says sign up for an audit.

Yikes, the IRS in your home?!

No, it’s just an energy audit, which can save you money.

“Did you know that 40% of our energy consumption and carbon emissions come from our homes, offices and schools? There are simple steps you can take to reduce your energy use, save your money and grow our economy. Speak to your local utility company about a free energy audit today.”
