Vegetarian Star

Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef, foe of vegetarians and overall smart-ass commented that he’ll eat just about anything except pets.

“I have strong convictions about what’s fluffy and what’s food,” Bourdain said, in the Cape Cod Times.

So Fido, Pixie and Max are off the menu.

And according to Bourdain, vegetarian food should be too if you don’t want to offend your meat eating guests.

“It’s just not polite to be a vegetarian when you travel,” the No Reservations star added.

Since Anthony travels across continents for his culinary adventures, one has to wonder if his rule of etiquette applies to domestic adventures too.

Does he expect vegetarians to shut up and eat the turkey after coming all the way from over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house?

If so, better hope the reindeer takes care of her before you’re halfway there.

Not that you don’t love your grandma.

Anthony describes his worst food experience as eating the “poop chute of a wart hog” while in Kalahari.

Guess he figures sometimes it’s better to be anal.

Anne Hathaway plays the White Queen in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton.

While Anne was studying the role and getting into character, she  came to the conclusion that the White Queen was a total vegan punk.

“When I was trying to work her out, I kept saying to myself, ‘She is a punk-rock, vegan pacifist.’ So I listened to a lot of Blondie, I watched a lot of Greta Garbo movies, and I looked at a lot of the artwork of Dan Flavin. Then a little bit of Norma Desmond got thrown in there, too. And she just kind of emerged. And I really like her. When I first came on board the project, Tim talked a lot about the relationship between the sisters, and that really opened the character up to me a lot. She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen. She really likes the dark side, but she’s so scared of going too far into it that she’s made everything appear very light and happy. But she’s living in that place out of fear that she won’t be able to control herself. There’s a lot to play around in. It was awesome. I had so much fun.”

Since Anne is known to flex in her diet, it was probably no issue for her to snack on nuts and salad while eating like the White Queen peacemaker.

Alice In Wonderland is scheduled for release in March.

Fast food restaurants traditionally have a bad reputation, but founder of Chipotle, Steve Ells is looking to change that image.

“I think fast food to most people means cheap, highly processed,” he said. “At Chipotle, it’s just the opposite. Everything at Chipotle is fresh, never frozen, with the exception of corn.”

As you learned before, Chipotle is testing out its vegetarian burrito filling in the Washington, D.C. area as part of its mission to support ethical foods.

Here are a few more facts about this healthier chain of restaurants:

1. The cheese and sour cream used are free of synthetic growth hormone rBGH.

2. 45% of Chipotle’s beans are organic.

3. Restaurants buy food from local farmers when available.

Remember the days of Boy Meets World, when lovesick nerdy Cory Matthews chased after the hippie vegetarian Topanga played by Danielle Fishel?

Topanga grew up and went to law school…and the show gradually came to an end.

If you haven’t seen much of Danielle since 90s, don’t worry–Black Book Mag has suggestions for how the busty actress can make a comeback.

“What about the story of a butcher whose Chinatown meat market is actually a front for a brothel? Each episode title will be a play on this —“Rump Roast,” “Grade A Beef”—with Fishel as the silk-robe-wearing, chain-smoking den mother who’s seen it all before.”

If all the brothel is serving is rump roast and beef, customers might have a hard time getting hard, given all the saturated fat and cholesterol in animal flesh that clogs the arteries, blocking blood flow to every part of the body.

How about an organic, recycled cotton robe wearing, seitan eating Fishel making otherwise banned sexy veggie videos instead?

Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has been chosen as Person of The Week in ABC World News with Diane Sawyer.

“Most people know this much about Steve Jobs: In a California garage back in 1976, Steve Jobs built the brains of the Apple computer.”

“But you may not know as much about the private side of Jobs — he was adopted by working-class parents, dropped out of college, followed a guru, and became a Buddhist and a vegetarian. And he still worships Bob Dylan.”

Jobs’ veggie status has fluctuated from vegan to vegetarian to pescatarian to vegetarian again.

Disney’s Pixar Studios severed their ties with McDonald’s around the time Jobs took over as CEO there and he was once quoted saying, “there is value” (in fast-food tie-ins) “but there are also some concerns, as our society becomes more conscious of some of the implications of fast food.”

Let’s all go out and buy the VegOut iphone application, a tool to locate vegetarian restaurants, and celebrate the great combination of technology and healthy food.

Heather Mills‘ is a vegan entrepreneur who’s business accomplishments include acquiring Redwood Whole Foods company and opening a vegan cafe, V Bites in the UK.

But could her high hopes of being a successful veggie business guru be smashed by financial issues?

The Daily Mail reports recent low customer numbers at the V Bites Cafe and says profits at Redwood are at best modest, based on her possible plans for expansion.

“At present, although Redwood has a £3million turnover, its profits are pretty modest – in the last accounts they stood at £309,000. Not really a yearly sum that can keep Heather at the rate she is spending.”

Heather insists on giving back to communities, as her Hunts Point Alliance Charity continues to serve impoverished families in the Bronx in the U.S.

‘I have created a free cafe for the people to eat whenever they want,” Mills said.

“The million dollars are in the bank for them. I have given my life to charities.”
