If you’re a Texan, what character of the state do you most associated yourself with?

Probably not the steakhouses, but that’s okay, because you’re in good company, as Lauren Bush says being Texan may have more to do with what you put on your body and not in it.

“I love jeans and denim — I think that’s probably my most stereotypically Texan trait,” the co-founder of FEED Projects, a non-profit designed to help fund UN programs for hunger around the world.

If you’re a true greenie, you’ll want to grab a pair of organic denim jeans, since it takes almost 2/3 of a pound of pesticide to produce one pair of conventional ones. Everything should be bigger in Texas, but not the carbon footprint!

So where does Lauren eat in Houston to avoid the steakhouses?

“Since I was a kid, my family became vegetarians and I didn’t want to be left out so I became a vegetarian as well… That’s a lot of discipline for a kid to give up candy and all that good stuff… but I bounce back and forth. There are times when I’m a vegetarian, times when I’m a pescatarian. But I don’t eat meat… I’m still tempted… there’s so much that I love.”

–Janet Jackson, on trying to stay veg.
