Vegetarian Star

We have mocked Gwyneth Paltrow more than a few times on her two-faced vegetarianism which has consisted of such acts as saying no to meat publicly, then teaching others to grind turkey patties.

Now, The Spoof, a fictitious news blog, is getting in on the action and has written a hilarious satire where Gwyneth readily admits she hates vegetables and goes to a park in South Africa to eat rhinos.

“Fading actress Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted, after six years of marriage and the same amount of years as a vegetarian, that she does not, in fact, like vegetables.”

“Paltrow claimed her husband took the news surprisingly well and is taking her out for dinner tonight at an all-you-can-eat Game Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.”

“”I’m so hungry I could eat the arse out of a dead rhino!” said Paltrow, licking her lips with glee. Martin had no comment, preferring to simply sulk instead.”

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and you slackers better head to the mall quick.

Even if your mom isn’t the best in the world, she still deserves some love this weekend as she can’t possibly be worst than the television mothers featured at televisionwithoutpity.com.

They’ve compiled a top 10 list of TV’s worst moms and Desperate Housewive’s Marcia Cross‘ character, Bree Van De Kamp is on the list. 

Bree has a rap sheet longer than Bernard Madoff’s scam list of evil mommy deeds, including going against her daughter’s wishes and forcing her vegan grandchild to eat a hot dog.

Yep, that definitely marks her off our Hallmark and FTD list. No vegan chocolates either. She’s lucky if she gets a phone call. And even that will be collect. 

Other bad mommies of the year star in Prison Break, Heroes, Gossip Girl, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Can you guess who they are? Visit televisionwithoutpity.com to find out!

Barbara Walters may soon be added to the list of favorite vegetarian TV hosts.

Green gossip website Ecorazzi.com received a tip from a fan who stated Walters announced she was seriously thinking about going vegetarian. Walters was prompted by a story about a cow named Molly who escaped a New York slaughterhouse.

“This morning on the View Barbara Walters brought up the topic of the Cow Molly that had escaped a slaughterhouse in NY yesterday. She said that was the reason she is more and more leaning towards vegetarianism. She also stated that she is scheduled to go to a White House dinner and she plans on bringing her own veggie burgers.”

Way to go, Barb! We seriously hope she follows through with this decision and sticks with it. 

On an even happier note, the escaped cow was not sent back to slaughter, but instead transferred to an animal sanctuary in Suffolk county.

Maybe Barbara will pay her inspiration a visit and share some greens for lunch one day!

Nothing better than two hot ladies duking it out in the ring.

Before you start to think this is a really sexist blog (especially if you’ve read that post on the vegetarian Playmate of the Year, Ida Ljungqvist), let us explain.

Alicia Silverstone and nutritionist Rachel Beller recently gave their input on the health effects of eliminating meat and dairy from your diet.

Here are a few replays:

Alicia Silverstone:
The excess animal protein in meat and dairy is so acidic that it causes the body to release calcium to buffer the acidity. Osteoporosis is very rare in countries that eat little or no dairy. Meat and dairy contain no phytonutrients, no complex carbs (which are very important). Basically meat and dairy are saturated fat and protein.

Rachel Beller:
The bottom line is that Alicia is NOT wrong, but the statement is polarizing. It sounds like all meat and dairy should be avoided; however, like so many things in life, it’s never this simple. A high protein diet that particularly emphasizes an intake of animal sources of meat and dairy does cause an acidic environment in the body, which subsequently must be neutralized by the body’s calcium. The prevailing idea is that calcium is absorbed from the bones to balance the acidic environment, thus leading to bone loss. Numerous studies have supported this theory for years. This is the basis of a long-standing claim that we (the American people) should increase our intake of vegetable sources of protein and decrease our animal sources of protein.

We’ve heard Alicia’s and Rachel’s input, now it’s time to hear yours.

As a child, what snack did you love so much, you were willing to forgo an entire month of Saturday morning Smurfs?

Erykah Badu’s daughter, Puma, doesn’t seem to be that picky about her favorite munchie. As long as it’s vegan.

Erykah recently made a CelebrityTweet:

“puma keeps asking for vegan snack after snack …i oughta do like my mama and tell her , “.. gone . gone and eat em all then they’ll be gone.”

With all the unhealthy snacks kids ask for these days (chips, soda, cookies, oh my), Erykah should at least be thankful little Puma knows what good!

Of course, having a mom who grows her own herbs and is so big on holistic health doesn’t hurt.

Does your child have a favorite vegan snack you wouldn’t dare leave off the grocery list? Are you a big kid who has serious problems parting with your vegan comfort food?

Learn about what else Puma is begging for at Erykah’s celebrity Tweet at celebritytweet.com/fatbellybella/.

The ever so funny man of AFI, bassist Hunter Burgan, recently blogged a list a quotes by famous vegetarians.

Hunter decided to add his profound quote on vegetarianism:

“I’d never eat a horse.”

There you have it folks. This will be recorded in the history books with great short quotes by the likes of people like Muhammad Ali, The Pope, and Gandhi. Some other good revelations from people Hunter included:

“I have been following a vegan diet now since the 1980s, and find it not only healthier, but also much more attractive than the chunks of meat that were on my plate as a child.”
Neal Barnard M.D.

“If the whole world went vegan, there would be less war. How you eat determines your mood and your outlook on life.”
Alexandra Paul
