Kathy Freston, author of vegan diet and health book The Lean, appeared on HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss how adopting a vegan lifestyle can help combat obesity, a disease one researcher has predicted will affect 32 more million people within two decades.

Although there’s no one cure for the disease, Freston suggests something as simple as an apple a day may keep the pounds away.

Of course, it helps if you eat it versus only balancing it on your head as Velez-Mitchell does in the segment.

Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his role as John in The Green Mile and currently Leo Knox on the Fox television series The Finder, has recorded a PSA for vegetarianism for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Duncan was plagued with several health problems before going vegetarian and recalls it was a birthday approximately three years ago that prompted him to change. That change included switching to plant-based proteins like beans and tofu and giving away all his Omaha steaks, fish and chicken entrees to the neighbors.

We hope he tries to give them samples of seitan every now and then too.

New York Times food writer Mark Bittman visited a veggie chicken factory to get an insider’s view of how faux meat is crafted.

Unlike most chicken factories, Ethan Brown’s Savage River Farms research facility is lacking animals pumped full of hormones and housed in crowded conditions. Instead, the Maryland factory contains an extruder that delivers a chicken-tasting product containing soy and pea protein.

Bittman tests the product both plain and in wraps and concludes he can’t tell the difference. And he’s being paid to do so.

“When you take Brown’s product, cut it up and combine it with, say, chopped tomato and lettuce and mayonnaise with some seasoning in it, and wrap it in a burrito, you won’t know the difference between that and chicken. I didn’t, at least, and this is the kind of thing I do for a living.”

Watch the five minute segment here.

“The world is ready for cruelty-free accessories. I think its important for us to be educated about what we are eating and about what we are doing. The more and more we learn about how horrible factory farming is, people become much more open to a cruelty-free lifestyle.”

Robin Meade, host of HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade, and Dr. Oz sat down to discuss how to go vegetarian the right way.

The right way isn’t substituting cheese sandwiches three times a day for burgers. And it’s not always about the veggies.

Dr. Oz suggests watching carbohydrates and incorporating lean, plant-based protein.

“I don’t want you to become a carbotarian,” Oz says.
