Question of the day.

Name your favorite faux meat.

Brian Dales, lead singer for The Summer Set, named some vegetarian foods you might find him chowing on after a concert set.

“I just eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food on tour,” Brian said. “Substituting anything with beans is really easy. When I’m home I really like making pastas and salads with Morning Star Grilled Chicken Strips.”

Here’s a twist.

Brian is also really into cosmetics.

“Right now I feel really strong about cosmetic/personal care product testing on animals. The stuff I’ve been reading is awful and the tests that they run on animals are disgusting and unnecessary. I really hope this can be put an end to. Most of the companies don’t even need to test their products on animals according to regulations.”

A man into cruelty-free beauty?

Everyone loves a vegsexual!

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake grabbed lunch at vegetarian restaurant The Naam in Vancouver, Canada recently.

With all the rumors of their on/off relationship, at least we know they’re together enough to enjoy a good meatless meal.

The Naam is one of the most famous vegetarian restaurants in North America and has been serving veggie since the 60s.

Located in the Kitsilano district, The Naam is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With both a breakfast and lunch/dinner menu, The Naam keeps Vancouver’s vegetarian food loving residents full with favorites such as the The Breakfast Dragon Bowl, pancakes, granola, veggie burgers, noodles, and deep fried tofu.

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 gives advice for those that think they’ll “slip” here and there because they’re addicted to hamburgers.

“Look, my own journey also included a time when I was an on-again- off again vegetarian, so I understand that these things don’t happen overnight. I believe that the most important thing you can offer someone is information that will allow them to get to where they need to be. In The Kind Diet, there are different entry points, so if you want to flirt with a healthier lifestyle you can do so without pressure–simply by taking in some new information and opening yourself up to better, more nutritious, and yummier food. See how that feels and go from there. For someone else, the right place to start may be a more challenging, full-on life-changing entry point. Regardless, every step in this direction can ultimately have a huge impact on your health and that of our planet. It’s important for people to know that anyone can do this. And if you fall off, get back on. Nobody’s perfect.”

And it all adds up. If everyone ate vegetarian for one day, we’d save 1.5 billion pounds of crops otherwise fed to livestock, enough to feed the state of New Mexico for more than a year, according to planetsave.com.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.
