Vegetarian Star

Amar’e Stoudemire is on a break from practicing with the Phoenix Suns and says he’s using the time off to go on a 4 day vegan fast.

“With my four days off, I’m really taking time off to purify my body, and get my body in top shape for these last 16-17 games. So right now, I’m on a vegan fast.”

Although he may opt of out his contract and become a free agent, he hints that he’ll stay in Arizona if the team can “meet his number.”

His hard work and dedication to putting the best in his body has earned him 22.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season.

Is this why AZ Central calls him a “predator fueled by vegetables?”

He also got serious about exercising, adding hiking and marital arts to his regime.

This year, Woody Harrelson represented the vegetarian actors in the Oscar nominations and over the past years, there have been several meatless celebrities nominated and awarded for their performances on screen.

Forest Whitaker won in the category of Best Actor for The Last King of Scotland (2006) and Diane Keaton won for Best Actress in Annie Hall (1977).

Some celebrities deserve an award for perserving through all the loses, like Kate Winslet.

Says VegNews:

“Although it may have taken six nominations before finally winning that golden statue, Kate Winslet’s vegetarian lifestyle must have given her the energy to continually tackle challenging roles and complex characters.”

Kate was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Sense and Sensibility, Best Actress in Titanic, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Iris, Best Actress in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Best Actress in Little Children, before she won for Best Actress in The Reader.

Beyond The Pole

Thursday is the Green Revolution day at the D.C. Independent Film Festival.

Beyond the Pole will be screening at the U.S. Navy Memorial Heritage Center, Burke Theater, 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.

The film features two friends as they attempt to make an organic, carbon-neutral, vegetarian trip to the North Pole in hopes of getting into the Guinness Book of Records.

You know, just like the goal you had last year.

As expected, things don’t run as smoothly as planned, but maybe that’s what draws in an audience.

“The comedy route gets more traction. If you have a point of view and send yourself up a bit, you draw people in,” director David L. Williams told Reuters.

“We are not being a doctor saying you have to do a list of things — one to 10. We are trying to reach an audience that is not inherently green-minded and somehow make an emotional connection.”

Will Beyond the Pole have you in stitches as you leave the theatre with a greener mindset?

On a recent episode of The Biggest Loser, coach Jillian Michaels congratulated a contestant for a job well done when he ditched the vending machine snacks and opted for a veggie sub sandwich at Subway instead.

Biggest Loser contestants have some great support on the show.

Michaels is a pescatarian, while Bob Harper is totally veg!

Harper pitches a vegetarian diet to the contestants on the show, or at least one that’s primarily plant based.

“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa,” he said. “For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”

Diet A sounds like the best way to be the biggest winner!
