Vegetarian Star

Heather Mills once backed a campaign to replace cows’ milk at Ben and Jerry’s with human breast milk.

Now, a New York University graduate student has created a human cheese product that has been taste tested by real people.

Will it be long before Mills’ acquires the right to produce “PeopleCheezly” and other mom’s milk products at her natural foods company, Redwood Wholefood?

Mirium Simun told Grist:

“Human cheese is initially a pretty shocking concept to most people. In that way its a great conversation starter — people very quickly bring up all sorts of different issues. I’ve had questions come up like, is it OK for a vegan? Is it empowering or exploitative of the woman? Is it dangerous, or actually healthier? Many people feel uncomfortable because they don’t know the woman, or what she is eating — but how often do you know the cows whose milk make your cheese, and what they are eating? The sustainability question is great, too, a lot of people totally get it, they love that I’m using human extracts to make human food, while others think of cannibalism.”

Before you form an opinion, take a look at the finished product and check out the available flavors below.

Natalie Portman is expecting her first child with her fiance she met on the set of Black Swan, Benjamin Millepied.

Portman follows a mostly vegan and sometimes vegetarian diet, so her pregnancy should be filled with late night cravings for her favorite foods like hummus.

Pregnant vegetarians and vegans have an abundance of professional resources available to them. The Cleveland Clinic, one of the United States’ top hospitals, has a page on its website listing nutrition tips for every type of pregnant vegetarian, including vegans.

Gabrielle Harradine, an editor with Vegetarian Times, took her vegetarian experiences with child to a blog, documenting everything from animal friendly moisturizing belly balms to ridding the home of toxic cleaning materials.

And Alicia Silverstone recently included an extensive, 3-part series on vegetarian and vegan pregnancies with a registered dietitian and critical care nurse who’s also a chef and cookbook author.

Mario Batali and Alton Brown have both made resolutions this year to eat more animal and environmentally friendly. Batali says he will learn to cook more vegetarian meals while Brown, who is already eating mostly pescatarian, will start eating eggs from chickens he raises in his backyard so he won’t have to “worry about the chickens welfare, or what’s in the egg.”

Between the two celebrity chefs, who would you?

Chipotle is pulling the vegan burrito filling from most of its Los Angeles locations, according to Quarry Girl, citing lack of demand.

On a good note, however, is the fact that Subway is and has been offering falafel in the Chicago area since September.

You either have to have drama or create conflict to be successful. We’re not interested in either.”

But who will ban the pink milk and throw the french fries in the garbage can?

Unfortunately, California schools have had already had drama in their cafeterias in the past. The issue was not even related to improving food nutrition, but about basic food safety.
