Rip Esselstyn

Rip Esselstyn has partnered with Whole Foods Market to guide customers in making the best choices for dinner, which consists of items that have roots in the ground, not an animal.

The author of the best selling book, “The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter’s 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan That Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds,” who turned his fire station veg explained to the Huffington Post that most people are “plant weak,” when they should be what he calls “Plant Strong.”

“I tell people, right now we have a country that is plant-weak. If you were to look at caloric pie of how Americans eat, close to 60 percent of America’s calories are coming from refined and processed foods. You know, the white stuff: the fried chips, the soda pop, fruit juices, doughnuts and cakes.”

When it comes to fashion, Bob Barker knows what’s in style and it’s not fur.

During an interview with Stylist, the vegetarian and animal rights activist explained how his wife got him on the right track to what’s trendy.

“My wife stopped wearing fur 35 years ago, and she wasn’t trying to influence me, but by example she did. I had several leather jackets and coats with sheepskin that I gave away. I stopped wearing leather belts and then stopped wearing leather completely. And this was all before I became a vegetarian about 32 or 33 years ago.”

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?
