Vegan Revolution With Zombies

There’s something odd and unique about how vegans and zombies go together in pop culture.

Moby hypothesized that zombies turn down vegans and head straight for the buffet to eat slower, fatter, meat-eating humans. Tainted meat led to the zombie-like creatures Woody Harrelson ran from in Zombieland. And now, a novel playing on the potential atrocities of genetically modified food, Vegan Revolution With Zombies, turns unsuspecting humans who think they’ve found the solution to cruelty-free meat into brain-dead carnivores.

Crystal Bowersox has revealed more details of her eco-friendly wedding to People. Besides wedding in a cotton and hemp gown and patronizing a vegan friendly bakery that uses local and organic ingredients, Bowersox and her fiance, Brian Walker opted not to use traditional diamond rings to avoid supporting the unethical, bloody side of the industry.

“There are no diamonds to be found as we don’t believe in the violence and injustice that occurs within the diamond trade industry,” Bowersox told People.

Actor Ernest Borgnine has the secret to living into your nineties.

Twice a day you can bet he’s beating the meat or choking the chicken, but this vegetarian isn’t tenderizing steak or being cruel to animals. Borgnine says the secret to staying healthy is staying away from meat and masturbating.

Borgnine told WENN, “I answered that question one time on Fox News. This fella kept bothering me all morning: ‘What do you do to keep yourself so worked up?’ Finally, I got sick and got tired and I forgot that I was miked. I reached over and replied, ‘I masturbate a lot!’”

“I also gave up meat about 35 years ago.”

Does Borgnine really have the secret to living a long, disease-free life? We already know a vegetarian diet is good for beating the main nasties in health like cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. But should masturbation be on the doctor’s recommendation list for wellness? Turns out beating the meat but not eating it has fantastic benefits for men and women.

During this week’s episode of The Biggest Loser, trainer Bob Harper‘s trainer tip was to consume broccoli! Practicing what he preaches, Harper fed the contestants chopped broccoli with pine nuts this week as well.

“Whether it’s steamed, baked or even over a salad,” Harper says. “A little broccoli goes a long way.”

Broccoli has been hailed as the champion vegetable by researchers, citing it has more health benefits, contains more nutrients and is a strong potential cancer fighter.

Broccoli is also an all-in-one Vitamin D supplement. To benefit from Vitamin D, one also needs Vitamin K and Vitamin A to keep Vitamin D metabolism functioning properly.  Broccoli naturally contains a good combination of K and A (through beta-carotene) and may be a good food to consume when trying to rebuild D stores.

Brendan Brazier

A New Jersey online news publication, NJ.com, just completed part 2 of an interview with vegan triathlete, author and vegan foods entrepreneur Brendan Brazier.

NJ.com asked Brazier if he missed anything in particular being since he became vegan. His response was that if you’re following the diet correctly, you shouldn’t have big problems with cravings.

“I don’t miss any of the foods I ate before becoming vegan. At first I would crave certain things, but as my body became more and more accustomed to getting whole food, plant-based fuel, I stopped wanting to eat unhealthy foods. In fact, something I really appreciate about my diet now is that I don’t have cravings for any specific foods.”

Like her spunky character Darlene in Roseanne, actress Sara Gilbert doesn’t shy away from giving her opinion, and she might share her views about America’s diet on a new mom-focused CBS daytime show, The Talk, which premiers October 18th.

“I’m vegan so I’m about as green as you get,” says Gilbert. “I think the diet in this country is kind of broken so I like talking about that.”

Gilbert was a vegetarian for 20 years before going vegan.

Gilbert is also the producer of The Talk, which will feature Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur on the celebrity panel with her.  A preview of The Talk can be seen below.
