Fran Drescher said she wanted to throw a few vegan-friendly episodes in her new daytime talk show, The Fran Drescher Tawk Show.

A woman who sticks to her word is worth watching!

Drescher recently hosted Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan baker who won last year’s Cupcake Wars on the Food Network.

Drescher said months ago that although she’s not a vegan, she’s “vegan-curious.” Her curiosity and taste buds were satisfied as Coscarelli explained how vegans strive to exclude all animal products, including byproducts from their diets and even ensure their clothing is free from animal products.

Fran revealed she has a cousin who’s a hardcore vegan just like Coscarelli.

During the cake demonstration, Coscarelli suggested adding vinegar to a cake mix keeps it moist, essentially replacing the egg. And since there’re no raw eggs in the batter, feel free to lick to spoon, something Coscarelli said is one of the “best things about vegan baking.”

If you follow Forest Whitaker, you know he had to shed that 70 pounds of extra baggage he put on for The Last King of Scotland, a film which earned him an Oscar in 2007.

Forest has been following a vegetarian diet for years, but he found cutting back on many processed foods, especially soy, helped the cause.

In other words: Forest cut the vegan junk food!

“I cut all the soy out and it changed everything… I just wanted to take care of myself,” Forest said.

Faux meats and cheeses are no doubt delicious, but YES, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. But is soy itself to blame for the vegan Santa Clause look? Not necessarily, says Dr. Andrew Weil, healthy living expert.
