If you are in your twenties or younger and you went vegetarian in your teens, you probably existed a great deal on Amy’s Kitchen products after school. From burritos to mac and cheese to tofu pot pies, you can’t go wrong with a healthy product that’s quick to fix, inexpensive, and meat-free.

If you’re still into Amy’s congrats, you’re in good company. Victoria DeSantis, who is on the Western Sales Team with Amy’s Kitchen was watching MTV Cribs one day when she saw Russell Simmons open up his crib to show the cameras his freezer was full of their products.

Talk about a free advertisement.

Russell’s not the only one diggin’ Amy’s at his crib. Their food keeps Death Cab For Cutie from becoming grumpy on tour and Moby’s got some in his fridge as well.

“I think we need more vegan junk food. Who has time when you’re out in the world to get something quick? Why can’t we have a dollar menu? So many people don’t respond to animal rights as a whole because they know they will have to change their lifestyle so drastically. Why not make it easier for them?”

“You can’t preach with veganism. You need to be funny and lively.” A lot of people treat veganism as a my-way-or-the-highway type thing, but it’s good to keep a sense of humor. You can do this while still moving toward a more compassionate world.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with Vegetarian Journal. Earlier, we told you how she calls herself a Junkatarian and has an addiction to the french fries. Her idea of vegan fun is potato chips, beer, and spaghetti. Now she’s aiming for the Cheetos.
