Jack LaLanne, a legendary fitness expert who followed a mostly plant-based diet during his lifetime, has died at the age of 96. LaLanne got interested in eating whole foods versus processed foods after hearing Dr. Paul Bragg, founder of the famous Bragg foods which include the soy sauce-like seasoning many vegetarians have come to love, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, speak.

During an interview, Lalanne talked in detail how meat and dairy were overrated in terms of nutrition.

Jack LaLanne: I use no milk of any kind. Anything that comes from a cow I don’t eat.

Russell Simmons is a thigh man. Or maybe a wing man. Dare we say a breast man?

He likes the taste of chicken, but as a vegan and someone who’s campaigned for better animal welfare standards at KFC, he won’t put his lips near one.

Instead he prefers to have faux chicken nuggets on top a bed of spinach, something he told The Skanner is his favorite meal.

“I like to put spinach on top of olive oil, and just let it wilt for a second. And then put vegan chicken nuggets on top of it. I’m not a big chef.”

Being the small-scale chef  he is, we’re guessing Russell buys frozen faux chicken nuggets. But if you like to wear that organic cotton apron a lot, try some of  the recipes that exist, using tofu, tempeh or seitan.

How do pregnant celebrities that follow a vegan diet like Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone feed their bump?

It should come from plants, according to Terry Walters, author of “Clean Start” and “Clean Food,” a book about eating seasonally. Walters is a food educator and on the board of directors at one of the largest urban organic farms in the United States.

“[Dark leafy greens] might not have as much calcium or minerals as a glass of milk,” said Terry, “But we are better able to access more minerals.”

Justin Bieber has done another PETA ad, his current one advocating adopting a pet at a shelter versus buying one from a store or breeder.

Playing on his hit song, “U Smile,” the ad reads, “Animals can make u smile. Adopt from your local shelter.”

Many people use the excuse that they need (or want) a purebred animal to avoid a shelter. But Dr. Debbye Turner Bell, veterinarian and CBS News correspondent says that about 25-30% of shelter animals are purebreds.

Renowned chefs Alice Waters and Dan Barber have vowed to take bluefin tuna, a critically endangered fish that’s high in mercury, off their menus as part of the Center For Biological Diversity‘s campaign to protect them.

The campaign was launched on November 30, 2010, after the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas refused to take action to protect the species. Both the Western and Eastern Atlantic varieties of bluefin have declined in numbers by 80% since 1970 and 74% between 1957 and 2007, respectively.
