Alicia Silverstone discusses "The Kind Diet" on the "Rachael Ray Show"

Alicia Silverstone made an appearance on the Rachael Ray Show today to pay the celebrity chef a visit and discuss her new book, The Kind Diet.

Alicia has her husband, Christopher Jarecki, to thank for turning her eating habits around.

“I was on a steak, bresaola and donut diet at the time when I met him, so he was thrilled when I started eating healthier,” Alicia said. “He was like, ‘Honey you are just going to fall apart with the way you’re eating!”

Thanks goodness Christopher set her straight!

Quorn, which makes vegetarian faux meats from a fungus (yeah sounds gross, but taste really good) has compiled a list of healthiest celebrities and our darling vegan Natalie Portman made the cut.

“Natalie says vegetarianism is the key to being healthy! She has been a strict vegetarian since childhood and has great faith in the health benefits (http://www.goveg.com/healthConcerns.asp). Maybe she’s even a QuornTM lover?!”

The blog asks, “What do you think of the list? Anyone missing or glaring mistakes? The great debate starts here!”

Um, yeah, where the heck are the other vegetarians?

Everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Jessica Alba to Beyonce is listed, but it looks like Natalie is the only vegetarian on the top 10.

Strange, considering Quorn is a maker of vegetarian products.

We’d put NHL star Georges Laraque on there, along with Kind Dieter Alicia Silverstone, not to mention “I bike everywhere” Ed Begley Jr.

There are dozens are veg celebrities that could easily take the spots of the other nine.

Who else should Quorn name healthiest celeb?

For twenty years The Simpsons have been doing special Halloween episodes full of bizarre humor you’ve come to love.

This year featured the citizens of Springfield inflicted with a mad cow type disease after eating the Krusty the Clown hamburger called Burger Squared.

They should have known better than to take something from Krusty.

Burger Squared is produced by “starting with Grade A beef, feeding it to other cows and then serving the unholy results on a seven grain bun.”

Most everyone in town eats the burgers and turns into zombies, leaving The Simpsons and a few vegetarians like Apu running for their lives.

When Lisa asks Apu how he survived, he answers, “Well, as a vegetarian, I did not consume any tainted meat and as a convenience store owner, I am armed to the teeth.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy and Apu perished after all.

Watch the clip to see how.

Miranda Kerr, model and girlfriend of Orlando Bloom, is planning to publish a diet and nutrition book later this year.

Miranda considers herself mostly vegetarian and follows a diet based on blood type.

Could there be another vegetarian diet book to add to your shelves soon?

I know what works for me,” Kerr told Grazia Australia. “Primarily I’m vegetarian, but I will eat a small amount of fish and chicken – and once in a blue moon I’ll have a steak.”

“I am conscious of not only maintaining but promoting a healthy lifestyle and I wouldn’t be able to sustain the hectic nature of my modelling commitments if I wasn’t 100 percent committed to feeding my body the food, vitamins and minerals it needs,” she added.

Miranda was defending herself after a swimsuit photo shoot for Grazia Australia made it look like she had lost a dramatic amount of weight.

“The exaggerated poses for the shoot have made me appear thinner than normal from behind, but I am the same weight and measurements I have maintained for more than three years,” she said.

Morrissey is the kind of vegetarian that will fire an employee for biting on a fish sandwich.

So it’s ironic that a ticket sold for one of his upcoming shows comes with a coupon for a free burger, as was discovered and Tweeted by former Reno 911 star Thomas Lennon.

“No joke. My Morrissey Ticketmaster print out tickets come with a COUPON FOR A DENNY’S HAMBURGER. Classy, Ticketmaster,” Lennon Tweeted, supplying the photgraphic evidence here.

The ticket was purchased for Morrissey’s Dec. 10 performance at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

In defense, Denny’s issued a statement about their veg friendliness including a recent Boca Burger burrito addition to the menu.

“We <3 Moz & vegetarian friends,” they wrote.

Kristen Bell recently did an interview with Women’s Health magazine where she revealed that although she went vegetarian at the age of 11 for animal rights, mom made sure she retained her healthy eating habits.

“I try to eat as many colors as possible. My mom taught me that when I was little. If you’re plate is colorful, you’re probably doing a good job.”

Kristen’s exercise routine consists of  lots of yoga, strength training, walking her dogs, and taking the stairs whenever possible.

“I try to eat more fresh foods than processed ones, and the grainiest bread possible.”

Maybe the Grain Council will recruit Kristen to be their next grain “it” girl.

Kellie Pickler made a Tweet about the new stray animals that keep coming back to her place.

“thanksgiving is right around the corner. funny how all the turkey’s hang out in my yard. I guess they know I’m a vegetarian.”

Ah, must be nice knowing there’s a vegetarian safe haven on the planet in the midst of millions of other turkey beheading Sarah Palin households.

BTW, if no turkeys are showing up in your backyard, you can still have a pet of your own through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program. For $25, you can sponsor a turkey living at the sanctuary.

Although it’d be great if you guys could be pen pals, currently calligraphy isn’t taught to the birds on the sanctuary.

The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone‘s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today, Alicia answers the question of what it means to “eat kind.”

“Eating “Kind” is about being really, really good to yourself and the planet via the foods you put into your body. A plant-based diet filled with whole and organic foods will give you tons of energy, mental clarity, gorgeous skin and a zest for life. But this kindness also extends to the earth itself; by requiring less fuel, water, and other resources, a plant-based diet is much lighter on the planet. And because it is clean, this diet helps our soil, water and atmosphere get healthy as well.”

Don’t miss your chance to learn to eat kinder and help yourself, animals, and the planet.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.
