Vegetarian Star

Dr. T. Colin Campbell‘s book, “The China Study,” was named by Bill Clinton as a strong motivator for him going vegan. But in an interview with the New York Times, Dr. Campbell insists he doesn’t like using the words vegetarian or vegan. He and his family have been eating what he calls a “100% plant-based diet.”

He says his studies don’t necessarily indicate eating completely vegan is better than having a little animal products every now and then. But it couldn’t hurt to go veg all the way for future protection.

“I don’t use the word “vegan” or “vegetarian.” I don’t like those words,” Campbell said. “People who chose to eat that way chose to because of ideological reasons. I don’t want to denigrate their reasons for doing so, but I want people to talk about plant-based nutrition and to think about these ideas in a very empirical scientific sense, and not with an ideological bent to it.”

Bob’s Burgers is a new series on Fox about a family ran burger business and all the hilarity that ensues during a normal workweek at a small-owned business. With the word “burger” in the title, you know it’s no vegetarian paradise, but even if you eat meat, you might find your next burger joint visit revolting if the owners are anything like the Belcher family.

Take episode one, for example. Tina Belcher, one of Bob’s daughters, announces she has a rash in her pubic region and states she might not be good with the grill due to the fact one hand will be tied up scratching the region.

Next door appears to be either a PETA or an anti-PETA office, with the acronym PFETA (People For Eating Tasty Animals?). There’s a “Meat is Murder” sticker on the window, but we’re still unsure if this is a legitimate AR office or a mockery that’s been targeted. On the other side is a crematorium (where the regular customers go earlier than most, we’re sure).

The special for one day was so inappropriately titled “The Child Molester Burger” because it comes with a piece of candy to lure customers to it.

To top it all off, the health inspector, responding to a rumor that Bob’s puts human remains in its burgers (maybe someone found a strand of Tina’s pubic hair in there), says that’s only okay if the burgers contain the FDA allowed amount of 4% or less human flesh in them.

Bob’s Burgers is still funny because we’re dealing with cartoon characters. However, a recent study found kids in real life should stay clear of all burgers even if they aren’t associated with child molesters. Children who eat more than 3 burgers per week may be at a higher risk for asthma and wheezing. There’s no data on whether or not these burgers also give them pubic rashes. Maybe those are the patties with human remains in them.

Full episode one of Bob’s Burgers can be seen below.

If you’re uneasy about cooking meat for your friends and family because of your vegetarian ethics, just tell them if they pressure you into cooking for them, you’ll kill them.

Not with the butcher knife, but with e. coli and salmonella and all other conditions you can get from eating under cooked meat (heck, even cooked meat still carries those buggers around).

That’s what Carrie Underwood tells her meat eating family when it’s time to gather in the kitchen.

Daphne Oz

One of Daphne Oz‘s tips in her book, Dorm Room Diet, is to make breakfast the largest meal of the day.

In other words, eat like a Roman Gladiator would.

Scientists who’ve examined the skeletons of the soldiers discovered they were large beefcakes, but rarely ate animal proteins. Based on the levels of zinc and strontium in cells, experts are able to determine the diet of the deceased warriors. Because the Gladiators had higher levels of strontium and little zinc, it was determined they ate mainly vegetarian.

Yet, these guys were HUGE with strong bone density so it’s a safe bet they’re breakfasts consisted of high protein, good carbs and a decent amount of good fat like Oz’s super starter of the day meal, Gladiator Oatmeal.

“It’s devastating. You see them in the rain, you see them in the snow. You see them in traffic like a car. I wouldn’t go out in that weather. I wouldn’t walk around in it. But they have to. They’re animals. They’re not cars.”

—Lea Michele, during an interview with PETA on the conditions carriage horses work in in New York city. A group called NYCLASS agrees that horses who pull carriages aren’t cars. That’s why they’d like to replace them with real vehicles.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for not offering a vegetarian alternative to the food pyramid introduced by the USDA 20 years ago.

PCRM, a doctor’s group that advocates a plant-based diet, is proposing the Power Plate, which offers meal ideas from the four food groups of grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Unlike the food pyramid which recommends certain servings from each group, the Power Plate simply recommends eating from all groups every day and to include good sources of vitamin B12.
