The Ultimate 'Green' Room Eco Lounge Emmy Gift Suite - Day 1

You may remember Vanessa A. Williams from shows like Melrose Place and Soulfood.

Last month she attended the Caribbean Fashion Week and spoke to the Jamaica Gleaner about her favorite Jamaican veggie dishes.

“My favourite Jamaican foods are ackee and callaloo. I am a vegan, so I don’t eat saltfish. During my visit, I am, looking forward to plantain, rice and peas and, of course, ackee and callaloo. I even stopped at a vegetarian restaurant after I landed to get ackee but they did not have it, so I am definitely going back to get it before I leave.”

Besides talking veggie, she also mentioned she loves her “skinny jeans” and can’t do without earrings.

Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills - Divorce Judgement

An ex-lover of vegan Heather Mills’ new man has no problem spilling the beans (even if they are without pork). Elsa Maneiro, the ex of Mills’ boyfriend Jamie, says she doesn’t think Heather can put up with Jamie’s meat eating manliness.

She said: “I don’t think they will be compatible. Jamie will not become a vegetarian as he loves meat too much.

“He always lapped up my chicken or meat dishes. He has a penchant for hot dogs, hamburgers and junk food occasionally as well.

“He adores fish. I can’t see him giving it up. The food is full of protein which is great for his body-building.”

Hmm..Sound like sour grapes or legitimate lentils? You decide.

Paul McCartney Calls For “Meat-Free Mondays”

Taco Tuesday, No-Cover Thursday, and… Meat-Free Monday?

Paul McCartney has suggested everyone stop eating meat one day a week to reduce carbon emission from the cattle industry.

He has been reported to tell his carnivore eating friends, “You realise you are eating dead flesh.”
According to The Telegraph Paul said cutting out meat one day a week is popular in Australia, where shoppers have become conscious of the environmental impact of cattle rearing and meat production.

In an interview with The Grocer, Paul said, “A lot of people go to the gym on a Monday.” Seems not eating meat would add an even more healthful spin to the day. “With meat-free Mondays, it’s a bit like going to the gym but with the added advantage of protecting the planet,” he added.

Paul turned vegetarian after a fishing trip, “Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, ‘I am killing him — all for the passing pleasure it brings me’. And something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me”.
