20th Anniversary Genesis Awards - Press Room

Awhile back, Moby wondered if zombies would eat vegans, after one was captured escaping a car.

Now, we know the answer, thanks to cartoonist Dan Piraro.

Zombies are vegans.

Dan tweeted this lovely little Haiku poem that explains zombies go for the grains.

The vegan zombie

Cares not for sweet grey matter

They cry out for “grains.””

Always nice to get things resolved.

AFI Life Achievement Awards honoring Michael Douglas

Once upon a time, a hookup took place in the back of a minivan and Hillside Quickie Inc., a vegetarian institute, was the love child of the creation.

After successfully running a food shop from the minivan, many other Hillsides were spawned, including Hillside Quickie’s Vegan Sandwich Shop, Hillside Quickie’s Cafe, and Quickie Too.

Years later, Hillside is still gettin’ it on and welcomes the birth of Plum: Hillside Quickie’s New American Bistro.

Plum offers delicious vegan dishes such as Northwest portobello and tempeh crepes, apple-pecan salad, vegan sliders, and the pizza of the day complete with vegan cheese.

It’s rumored that actor Tobey Maguire was a regular at Plum during the filming of his latest movie The Details.

For more information on what kind of delicious vegan hookup you can get, visit Hillsidequickie.com.

ANZFW 2009 - Pamela Anderson A Muse Photo Call

Pamela Anderson is out and about in New Zealand, debuting her eco friendly clothing like, A*Muse during Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

She showed up at a press conference wearing nothing but this pink sarong she had to continuously hold up while talking, joking it was a scarf for next season.

Here are some of her veggie and environmental highlights:

On animal rights: “I think anything with a heartbeat should be respected and I don’t think they should be made into clothing.”

Environmental stance: “I think being vegetarian is the way to go. It’s better than driving a hybrid car. One of the leading causes of global warming is factory farming.”

On her fashion range A*Muse, designed by Richie Rich, on the catwalk today: “It’s all about having fun, saving the world, doing good things and being pink and glittery, and also a bit political.”

Alicia Silverstone “The Kind Diet” Gives You Superhero Powers

The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet book, The Kind Diet, is set for release on October 13.

Here’s the cover, featuring the beautifully flawless actress.

Making the vegan transition is a gradual process that Alicia has broken down from “flirting” to “superhero.”

From an editorial description at bn.com:

“Alicia knows that changing life-long dietary habits is a process, and that each person progresses at a different pace. For that reason, The Kind Diet encompasses 3 separate levels, from Flirting to Superhero. Flirts learn to dip a toe into the vegan pool, reducing their meat-eating and swapping out a few key foods for plant-based substitutes to see quickly how even small changes can reap big results. Vegans get to experience the life-altering effects of forgoing animal-products entirely, while still enjoying many convenience foods and meat substitutes in addition to the wonderful grains, vegetables and fruits that form the core of that diet. True enlightenment comes with the Superhero program, based on the principles of macrobiotics and built on a foundation of whole grains, vegetables, and other yummy foods that Alicia describes in detail.”

Sweet!

Can’t wait to get to superhero level cause we’ve always wanted to wear a cape in the kitchen!

Bob Harper Pitches Biggest Loser Protein Powder

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Reality TV.

2005 Summer NBC Television Critics Press Tour - Day 13

The Biggest Loser has inspired a host of products created after the hit reality TV show, including a cookbook, fitness DVDs, and protein powder.

Last episode coaches Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels did some shameless self promotion, promoting the Protein Powder and Food Journal, respectively.

As we told you before, Bob Harper became a big loser of cholesterol points when he went vegetarian and he tries to promote plant based diets on the show.

The protein powder is whey based, so that nixes it as an option for you vegan bodybuilders.

However, Sun Warrior Raw Vegan Protein Powder might be what Bob consumes should he decide to cut dairy and eggs from his diet.

The product description from veganessentials.com:

“At 85% pure protein, it is the first raw complete vegan, hypoallergenic superfood protein on the market. Not only does it taste superb, it blends exceptionally well and is very easy to digest. It digests so well that it has a 98% correlation rate to mother’s milk and a 98.2% digestion efficiency rating, making it one of the highest digestibility and efficiency ratings of any other protein source.”

Sun Warrior Protein Powder is available in chocolate and vanilla flavor.

Jordin Sparks “Drink Milk For A Change”: VH1 Save The Music

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 in Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Drink Milk For A Change Launch Event With Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks, who has said eventually she’d like to become vegetarian, is starring in a series of ads that will tick the vegans off.

Drink Milk For A Change features Jordin sporting a dairy mustache and holding a glass of cow juice.

The campaign was launched in Los Angeles yesterday and encourages people to upload photos of themselves wearing milk mustaches at bodybymilk.com.

For each upload, one dollar will be donated to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, which puts money into funds to restore music programs at schools.

Not every veg is keen on dairy, even if they’re not vegan.

We suggest some passive protesting-upload your soy or almond milk mustache to help out the schools.

The dairy industry will never know the difference!

The Cinema Society & Hugo Boss Screening of Inglourious Basterds - Arrivals

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.
