Dr. Phil McGraw Army Meal Prompts Vegetarian Questions

GOLF 2010 - Bob Hope Classic PGA

Dr. Phil gave both some food voyeurism into one of his latest meals as well as some advice about repelling mosquitoes in a recent Tweet.

The food sounds great, but the anti bug biting advice…not so great.

“Jordan chks in: About to dine on a veggie lasagna MRE. Ate two match heads Army guys say sulfur keeps Mosquitos off of u.”

According to Backpacker magazine, the advice about eating match heads should be taken out by a grenade:

“It’s a myth. Matches contain poisonous chemicals in addition to sulfur. Save them for cooking dinner and not your intestines.”

Yikes!

But those vegetarian MREs made especially for the troops sound delish!

What are the options for a vegetarian defending his or her country?

The Epic Center showcases a variety of ready to eat meals the United States military provides to their service members and at a glance, the variety is impressive.

Veggie burgers, vegetable lasagna, vegetarian chili with beans and veggie crumbles over pasta with marinara sauce.

Beans, cheese and faux meat will satisfy some, but where’s the tofu, fruit and soy milk?

And are any of these entrees vegan for our egg and dairy free soldiers?

Still waiting for Dr. Phil to update his Twitter about the taste.

Ginnifer Goodwin Veggie Aha! Moment

HBO's Post Golden Globe Awards Party - Arrivals

Ginnifer Goodwin‘s story of veganism is featured on Oprah Winfrey‘s website in the Aha! Moment section where celebrities discuss memorable moments or make crucial decisions in their lives.

Goodwin says growing up she always considered the animals on her grandmother’s farm as family

But her Aha! moment came when she realized over breakfast she could no longer consume those animals.

“For most of my life I naively lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets; a family dinner always meant steak. Then one day a year and a half ago, it hit me over the head while I was making a hearty breakfast that it wasn’t, in the grand scheme of earthly things, intended for me. What would happen to my body, to my soul, if I did not consume an animal or anything taken from an animal? So I educated myself. I relinquished the safety blanket of my ignorance.”

Brandon Routh Explains Vegan Powers–Scott Pilgrim V The World

More Celebs at The 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA

As previously mentioned, Brandon Routh is playing Todd Ingram, one of the evil ex boyfriends Scott Pilgrim fights in the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Ingram is a vegan, so it’s hard to imagine him as “evil.”

It was previously thought that Ingram had only vegan mind reading powers, but Routh is now explaining that he’s given telekinetic powers–and smacks Scott around with them.

Here’s Routh explaining a little more about his role:

“I play Todd Ingram in the film. The film stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, and he has to defeat seven evil exes of Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, in order to continue dating her. The seven exes basically challenge Michael, and I play one of them. I’m a vegan rock star with a blonde wig. Because I’m vegan, I have these special powers, the power of telekinesis. So, I end up having this huge bass battle with Michael Cera, as we’re playing dueling bass guitars, and I throw him around telekinetically threw walls and such. And my blonde wig becomes a faux-hawk whenever I use my powers, and then flattens back down when I’m not using them.”

Wouldn’t you love to use telekinetic powers to throw the person who put chicken broth in your restaurant made vegetable soup?
