Vegetarian Star

Prince Alwaleed, who’s full name is (take a deep breath) Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, is often called the Arabian Warren Buffet.

A member of the Saudi Royal family, Alwaleed is the nephew of the Saudi Arabia King Abdullah, and the grandson of the first Lebanese prime minister after independence Riad as-Solh.

He’s ranked by Forbes as one of the top 25 richest people in the world and amassed his fortune through the stock market and real estate.

Dealbreaker.com recently got some insight on how Warren Buffet of Arabia keeps his body as well as his portfolio healthy.

“In 1985 he earned an M.A. with honors in Social Science from Syracuse University. During that time, he recalls, he put on a lot of weight. He’s been extremely health-conscious ever since and is now a strict vegetarian who avoids fatty foods, exercises every day and devotes himself to keeping fit. He is a keen cyclist who makes habit of riding for at least one hour a day, although he concedes to keeping a phone handy for deal making. He also puts swimming, walking and skiing on his agenda whenever possible.”

The year was 1983 and newly vegetarian Michael Jackson had wandered into The Golden Temple restaurant, where he was a regular.

Although Michael had no children of his own yet, he was extremely interested in learning how the mother’s vegetarian diet would affect pregnancy and the outcome of the baby.

He met David Wallechinsky, now editor-in-chief at Allgov.com, who’s wife was pregnant and the two engaged in conversation and kept in touch so Michael could see the beautiful and healthy child born to a vegetarian mother and learn what it was like to be father.

Although some otherwise vegetarian woman say they experienced strange meat cravings during pregnancy, the truth is, nutritionists and doctors say vegetarian and vegan pregnancies can be completely healthy.

Several vegetarian and vegan hip hop stars will be making guest appearances in the film, In Pursuit Of A Green Planet, a documentary on food choice, health, and the planet.

In the film, Keith Tucker travels the country on a Greyhound bus powered by recycled vegetable oil while he makes the transition from eating the average American diet to a totally organic, vegan one.

Tucker brings along some adolescents who are already experiencing diet related health problems and are at a crucial point to change their lives forever. Not only do the kids get lessons in making themselves and the planet healthier, they get the privilege of meeting some awesome veggie hip hop stars along the way, like Saul Williams, Persia White, Justin Bua, Stic Man, and KRS One.

According to hiphoppress.com:

“The goal of the “Pursuit of a Green Planet” documentary is to take an inside look at how the food we eat affects our health and tie healthy living back to the origins of Hip Hop. As Hip Hop was a pioneering art form for the urban community looking for a better life in the late 70s, “Pursuit of a Green Planet” brings those ideals full circle by incorporating Hip Hop into the Green Movement.”

Bif Naked was the perfect picture of health.

A raw food vegan who worked out regularly and unlike some in the entertainment industry, shunned drugs and alcohol.

Her clean lifestyle didn’t stop cancer from creeping into her life. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing something right or that she should let her health go to hell because of it.

“You know, I lived a pretty clean lifestyle — no booze and no meat and all that — and I still got breast cancer,” she said in an interview. “After that, I had girlfriends come up to me and say, ‘Wow, I’m having a f—ing drink.’ And I went, ‘Great, knock yourself out.’… I still eat exactly the way I did, and don’t drink. Something like this is not a reason to mistreat your body.”

But if ” Mrs.” Swirly is already married…uh-oh.

Heather Mills will be serving a vegan soft serve ice cream at her V Bites restaurant, which opens July 4.

The vegan treat, called Mrs. Swirly, is meant to imitate the famous Mister Whippy variety. Heather came up with the idea after her daughter, Beatrice, had to miss out on ice cream while surrounded by other kids.

“When we were out I’d notice other kids got an ice cream and my daughter Beatrice would just get a fruit lolly and I thought I’ve got to do something.”

If you’re like most vegans who crave sweets, you love to get your ice cream on as often as possible.

But if you don’t live in the UK near Heather’s restaurant, there are plenty of store bought varieties to satisfy your dairyless craving from Chicago Soy Dairy’s Temptation brands to Turtle Mountain’s So Delicious to Rice Dream.

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.

There’s nothing worse than cruising in your ship in the ocean, hair blowing in the wind and trying to impress the eco ladies, when you get pulled over by the PoPo…For a ridiculous 30 year warrant!

Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson and Whale Wars star was arrested in Portugal while attending the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Conference for a 1980 ramming by the Sea Shepherd of the pirate whaling ship the Sierra.

However, since the warrant actually expired in 2008, Watson was released shortly.

Also recently, vegetarian actress Daryl Hannah, who joined the Whale Wars crew this season, was also arrested, but it had nothing to do with whales.

She and 31 people, including NASA climate scientist James Hansen and former U.S. Rep. Ken Hechler, were arrested during a display of civil disobedience at a mountaintop removal protest in West Virginia.

The video above shows Hannah in the action.

“It is hard sometimes because some have such great personalities, but you get used to it. It becomes a mind-set where we known these two are staying, these two are going. I also know I’m doing a good thing, because if I kept them, pretty soon I’d have no room to foster anymore. So, I’m saving a lot of lives by sending them along.”
