So Alicia Silverstone has a vegan diet book coming out in October. You know what that means.

The Skinny Bitches have some competition!

Rory Freedman had a head start with Skinny Bitches in the kitchen, the uterus, and skinny bastards to back her up.

But could Silverstone gain some ground with A Kind Diet?

Between the two vegan diet book authors, who would you rather…

Everyone’s favorite vegan girl, Alicia Silverstone, recently sat down with Health magazine where she discussed her upcoming vegan diet book, A Kind Diet, as well as her vegan lifestyle in general.

Here are a few excerpts:

On The Kind Diet Book:
“I’m excited about presenting something that can make you feel amazing and look your best. Once you’re informed, then you can be really gentle and kind to yourself, by giving yourself all the gifts life has to offer—like mental clarity and vitality—all while making the planet better”

The Role A Vegan Diet Played in her weightloss:
“Diet first, exercise second. Exercise is fantastic, and when I need to be a certain way quickly, I amp up my exercise by walking the dogs and doing yoga.”

How The Right Foods Make You “Juicy”:
You can hear your needs and desires more clearly. You’re just more juicy—there’s just this lightness that happens.

Stella McCartney Cruelty-Free Bags For Fall

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 in Fashion.

Ah, the changing of the seasons.

Colored falling leaves, brisk temperatures, and a good excuse to buy a new leather-free handbag!

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney has a few goodies coming our for the fall, including the four featured here.

Starting from the top left are the Piercing Convert Shoulder Bag, The Piercing Tote, and The Appaloosa Shoulder Tote, and The Piercing Ruffel Satchel.

Stella’s bags are never at bargain prices (the ones featured above are in the $1,000 range), but she has her niche of fashion savvy fans willing to pay the price so animals don’t have too.

All of the above bags can be ordered through Bergdorf Goodman.

If you have the pocket book size for it, you should consider patronizing them, since they have their share of leather goods (Prada) on the site as well.

How else are we to encourage these guys to stock up on more hideless accessories?

Geneva Cruz Shows All Her Animal Parts For Vegetarianism

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 in Actresses, Female Singers.

Maxim cover girl hottie Geneva Cruz has stripped down to her bones.

But she still has all her meat and her “parts” are labeled for the discerning viewer to decide which piece they’d like of her-breasts, shoulder, loin, etc.

It’s all meant to mimic a butcher’s diagram of animal parts in an upcoming PETA vegetarian ad, “All Animals Have The Same Parts.”

“I’d just like to say that I’m not doing this for vanity,” Geneva told abs-cbnnews.com. “I don’t do this to look sexy, although you can look sexy. The good thing about what I’m doing now is I think that a lot of people are getting really influenced, and they just want to know how to start [becoming vegetarian]. I always tell them to go to PETA.org and check it out. You can start little by little.”

Wow.

Even if you’re a vegetarian, you must admit, Geneva looks delicious!

Whole Foods CEO Offers Advice For Obama’s Health Care Plan

President Obama speaks at VFW Convention in Phoenix

If you’ve been following the Obama Health Care Reform talks, you know people are definitely forming opinions on every side.

Should the United States offer health care for everyone like Canada or European countries? Or is this headed for a system where Americans no longer have choice about their medical decisions.

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey recently wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal where he suggested the best way to combat illness-and fix the health care problem-is through a plant based diet.

“Unfortunately many of our health-care problems are self-inflicted: two-thirds of Americans are now overweight and one-third are obese. Most of the diseases that kill us and account for about 70% of all health-care spending—heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and obesity—are mostly preventable through proper diet, exercise, not smoking, minimal alcohol consumption and other healthy lifestyle choices.”

“Recent scientific and medical evidence shows that a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense and low-fat will help prevent and often reverse most degenerative diseases that kill us and are expensive to treat. We should be able to live largely disease-free lives until we are well into our 90s and even past 100 years of age.”
