Vegetarian Star

A sandwich shop in Toronto loves Wilco so much, they’ve named some of their culinary creations after them.

According to Pitchfork, the Sky Blue Sandwich Company offers signature sandwiches named after the Chicago based alternative rock group, and the menu indicates vegetarian Wilco fans are not left in the dark.

“She’s a Jar” comes with almond butter spread on honey whole wheat bread, topped with banana slices and sprinkled with cinnamon.

And “Red Eyed and Blue” features mozzarella topped with tomato, sweet onion and basil leaves and wasabi mayonnaise.

Carol Leifer is set to make an appearance at the Tuscon Festival of Books on March 14 to discuss her latest book, When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win.

During a recent interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Carol admitted there were a few drawbacks to her decision to go vegan.

“I think the thing I miss the most is cheese,” she said but added that “you can really work around anything.”

On the other hand, she’s being frugal by not purchasing pricier items made from animal products.

“I’m saving so much money because I don’t buy wool any more, and I don’t buy leather.”

Which probably explains why she’ll only splurge on a pair of Stella McCartney shoes every once in awhile.

“Stella McCartney is my new savior. It’s pricey, so I buy it sparingly. It’s really good stuff.”

John Joseph, punk rock singer best known for his work with the Cro-Mags, is training for a triathlon in his late 40s.

If you’re wondering how this is physically possible, you might ask him about his diet, which is mostly raw and filled with plant based proteins.

Then again, it may those supplements he’s creating with a internationally known nutritionist, Dr. Fred Biscie.

All this is accomplished while John has worked on a new book about how the wrong diet and lifestyle choices will eventually make you a “pussy.”

The vegetarian of 30 years said of the upcoming book, Meat Is For Pussies:

“The new book’s title is a play on words. Everyone thinks that I’m calling you a pussy if you eat meat. That’s not what the title is suggesting. What I say in the foreword is that if you continue to leading a sedentary lifestyle, sitting in front of the TV, getting no exercise, eating poisonous foods, you will become a pussy that is dependent on the pharmaceutical companies. If that’s what you want, right on, don’t buy my book. If you want to know what’s really going on, then I suggest you pick it up.”

Fair enough.

John says about half of his diet is raw and he’s not a fan of GMOs.

Mary McCartney is sharing her recipes to promote the McCartney family’s Meat Free Monday campaign.

Growing up, Mary says she wasn’t necessarily into eating healthy, and enjoyed the taste of meat.

Like her mother, she advocates eating vegetarian to her children, but doesn’t demand it.

“I liked the taste. But it wasn’t a rebellion. Mum always said, I don’t cook it, but you’re allowed it. And that’s what I say to my kids. The difference is that then we did it because we didn’t want animals to be mass farmed. Now it’s because meat production puts such pressure on the environment.”

Mary says although she’s influenced by her mom’s style of cooking, she tends to bake more and finds it easier to translate her culinary ideas into a recipe.

Mary is putting less pressure on the environment with her recipes for sauteed leeks, puy lentils and feta and aubergine layered bake.

Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has Tweeted some words of encouragement for those looking to improve their diet and health.

Bob wants you and everyone else to sign up for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s 21 Day Kickstart Program.

This month’s celebrity tip is from Ginnifer Goodwin, and she’s offering one of her favorite recipes containing Gardein faux chicken and bok choy.

It’s completely free of any meat and dairy, including Ginnifer’s former vice–cheese.

“For most of my life I lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and pizza,” Ginnifer says on the site.

“I just KNEW that “I absolutely, positively could never give up cheese.” Not only was I absolutely, positively wrong about myself, but now two of my four parents have gone vegan. They see the impact a plant-based diet has had on my life and want to live more healthfully and happily, too.”

Ginnifer is a champion for converting two of her parents to veganism.

Can’t wait to see her convert all the parents on Big Love to a meat and dairy free diet as well.

Jimmy Kimmel told Ginnifer Goodwin he’s considered going vegetarian, but there’s something about a roast that prevents him from doing so.

“I thought about it. I tried to run it through my head that maybe it’s not a good idea. But then they come out so delicious,” he said.

Ugh!

Horrible humor even for a late night talk show.

But Ginnifer offers some support, explaining the call of meatballs sounds just as sweet as it did years ago.

“I told everybody I did not stop eating animals because I did not like the taste,” Ginnifer said.

Luckily, there’s a solution to both of their problems.

Faux meat! Faux meat! Faux meat!

Ginnifer Goodwin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she discussed how her diet is a lot different from what she ate growing up.

Goodwin said she used to work in a barbecue restaurant in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee and although she can still remember the smell, something she nicknamed “Eau de Memphis,” these days she prefers barbecue sauce on tofu instead of ribs.

Kimmel joked that was the reason Goodwin had to leave Memphis.

Of course, any Memphis vegetarian knows there’s no shortage of good tasting meatless food in the south!

Goodwin starred in Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey PSA and told Kimmel she was the  Turkey Ambassatrist.

Sounds like an exciting job to have!
