Bob Irwin

Bob Irwin suffered a heart attack in March, and has used the opportunity to re-evaluate his priorities. The father of the late Steve Irwin says he wants to focus on environmental conservation and caring for injured wildlife.

One area of animal welfare that concerns him is Australia’s wild dogs, known as dingoes. Current laws prohibit people from feeding the dogs, citing that feeding them makes them less fearful of humans and more likely to attack. But Irwin is disturbed by the numbers of thin and malnourished dogs he sees and wants other options to ensure their health and survival.

Cat Cora has a morning regime we all could benefit from–breakfast that consists of vitamin rich fruits and vegetables, omega rich nuts and heart healthy soy.

“We do protein smoothies in the morning,” the chef told WebMD. “Here’s how to make them: Add some fresh baby spinach, frozen mango chunks, five or six almonds, a little soy milk, a little juice if you like, some protein powder, and blend it up. Delicious! We love it around the house. We call it a Shrek drink to get the boys to drink it. And they do!”

Might we suggest using Tony Gonzalez‘s All-Pro-Science vegan protein powder from hemp, pea and brown rice protein in Cora’s shake?

“Like oil, meat is subsidized by the federal government. Like oil, meat is subject to accelerating demand as nations become wealthier, and this, in turn, sends prices higher. Finally — like oil — meat is something people are encouraged to consume less of, as the toll exacted by industrial production increases, and becomes increasingly visible.”

–Mark Bittman, author who applies the eat vegan before 6:00PM approach to reduce his meat intake, in an New York Times article titled Rethinking the Meat Guzzler.

Russell Simmons hosted an event in his home for two schools that provide environments for many African-American and Latino boys to succeed in an area where their educational outcomes aren’t always good. The event raised $250,00 for the Eagle Academy Foundation, which supports three New York City schools for the young men.

Providing the food was Acquolina Catering, which served fried tofu with cilantro sauce and Portobello burger and chocolate mousse–all vegan items.

Two of the schools boast an 85% graduate rate for the students, compared to the average of 50% for African-American and Latino men in other schools in the region.

Prince Charles has opened another one of his organic produce shops, this one located in Bath, Somerset. The Highgrove store sells both organic food and lifestyle products and is named after the Prince’s home in Gloucestershire.

Besides opening the store, Prince Charles was also scheduled to give a lecture on the environment.

James Beard

The vegan dinner prepared by the Horizon’s chef at the The Beard House of the James Beard Foundation was a hit, according to blogger at green gossip site Ecorazzi.

“…a shallow bowl of mustard croutons and upland cress was filled with warm, savory Sunchoke and Horseradish Bisque. Paired nicely with a 2008 Pfaffenheim Pinot Blanc, I’m quite sure nobody noticed the lack of shellfish or heavy cream. Yes, it was the kind of soup that could make even the most humble vegan quietly whisper, “I told you so.”"

Ecorazzi then goes on the question what Beard would have thought of the vegan feast, concluding he would have been impressed. Vegan food is usually the most sustainable out there, and according to some sources, it would have aligned well with Beard’s ethics.
