Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegetarian (504)

Gordon Ramsay traveled to Boco Raton, Florida in a recent episode of Kitchen Nightmares to clean up the menu and kitchen at Anna Vincenzo’s Italian restaurant.

As part of the grand reopening of the eatery, Anna Vincenzo’s held a celebrity pizza making contest, where athletes from the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat and Florida Panthers had to construct the perfect pizza in 3 minutes.

Non meat eating Miami Heat forward James Jones won’t touch the pizza he made for the judges because he put meat on it thinking it would impress them and said he didn’t know what else to put on it, even though tubs of veggies like mushrooms and peppers can be seen in the clip.

Such a shame, considering the vegetarian pizzas on Anna Vincenzo’s menu outnumber the meat ones 5:3!

Guess more Floridians are impressed with meat-free after all.

“Drain it; cut it in cubes; drizzle it with sesame oil and soy sauce; and sprinkle it with dried chives, sesame seeds, and dried seaweed.”

“How I Met Your Mother” Ted’s History Of Paint Throwing PETA Girls

'How I Met Your Mother' 100th Episode Celebration Beverly Hills

There’s nothing more uncomfortable for the rest of the friends and family than when bachelor Cassanova invites the girl he met two nights ago to a wedding or family reunion.

On a recent episode of How I Met Your Mother, titled “Say Cheese,” Josh Radnor‘s character, Ted Mosby, is painfully reminded by Lily (Alyson Hannigan) that he has a tendency to bring wacky girlfriends to important events.

Specifically, Lily doesn’t want any more random skanks in the group photos and she forces Ted to take a trip down “Random Skank Lane.”

One random skank was a vegetarian hippie girl named Strawberry who threw red paint on the chef at the dinner table and yelled, “Meat is Murder,” when Marshall (Jason Segel) passed the bar exam.

Strawberry had good intentions.

Words of wisdom for a potential date if you might not yet be promoted from the ranks of random skanks.

Kindly say “I’m a vegetarian,” and be prepared to politely answer any questions about your lifestyle without belittling anyone or staining their shirt.

Daryl Hannah Interested In EPA Lifting Ethanol Fuel Limit

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, March 28th, 2010 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green.

Daryl Hannah Has A Board Game

Daryl Hannah lives in a solar powered home that she calls a “misfit circus” to abandoned and disabled animals.

Hannah’s use of natural energy to run her home is just one of several ways the vegetarian actress does her part to protect the environment.

Hannah arrived at a recent radio program in Santa Cruz with the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am she drove in Kill Bill, a sports car she has converted to run off 85% ethanol.

Federal regulations currently limit the amount of alcohol per gallon of gasoline to 10%.

The EPA is considering allowing states to increase this limit to 15%, but opponents argue that increasing the blend causes corrosion and overheating.

Although some doubt the benefits of ethanol to the environment, David Blume, an ecologist from the Santa Cruz area calls Hannah a “guru” and insists more education is needed.

“People just don’t know that alcohol fuel is a possibility,” Blume, who was later scheduled for a press conference encouraging the EPA to lift the restriction.

Moby Cheated — Vegan Superstar Confesses All To Grist.org

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, March 27th, 2010 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Moby the New York premiere of The Runaways

After learning that Moby is not the uptight, holier than thou vegan he was years ago, Grist.org provides more insight as to why he’s more likely to turn the other cheek and quietly suggest you do better next time if you indulge in some macaroni and cheese at a mom and pop’s diner in the middle of nowhere on a road trip.

You see, Moby has fallen a few times in his life. And he’s fessing up.

“In the last 22 years, I cheated twice. I had, and this is going to sound so crazy, I had yogurt in 1992, and I have to say it was really good. And about five years ago, I was talking to a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and he said I should start eating eggs. So I went to the store and I bought organic, free range, locally grown eggs and I tried to eat an egg, but I just didn’t like it.”

The experience didn’t send him into a lifestyle of reckless, dairy debauchery, but instead served to confirm his values, making him a “born again” vegan.

“I was just reminded of why I’m a vegan, but really I don’t judge people’s lifestyles. If someone chooses to eat meat or dairy, that’s their choice. I just think that meat and dairy can be produced a lot more ethically than they currently are being produced and with much less impact on communities, on the environment, and on people’s health.”

ELLE Style Awards 2010 - Arrivals

30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto has revealed secret, possibly rooted in ancient tradition, ceremonies he and the other two band members, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milisevic, share.

Instead of sacrificing animals before a performance, Leto says soybeans are offered.

“Well there was a time when we used to sacrifice goats but then we all became vegans so we’ve been sacrificing tofu before the shows!” Leto joked on Myspace, according to Gigwise.

Dude is close to 40, but doesn’t look like he’s legal to even play at some of the venues where 30 Seconds takes the stage.

The youth gods must love tofu!
