Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet, lifestyle and cookbook, The Kind Diet, has been released in paperback form.

The paperback edition contains the same useful information about transitioning to a vegan diet, whether you’re interested in eating a few vegan meals a week or going totally raw. The Kind Diet also educates readers on the animal welfare and environmental reasons that motivate some to go vegan.

What’s great about the paperback edition is that it was created in an environmentally friendly manner. The book uses soy ink and is printed on recycled paper. Not only does soy ink produce less harmful chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOC), it also makes recycling the paper it’s printed on easier because soy ink  is easier to remove from printed paper.

As expected, Silverstone is touring to promote the paperback edition. Check out the dates below to see if she’s coming to a town near you.

Vegetarian fans of Olivia Newton-John were disappointed to learn she had started eating grilled chicken and fish because she thought that action would alleviate anemia. Olivia was once a very outspoken vegetarian and environmentalist, even recording an animal rights song The Promise (The Dolphin Song) in the early 80s.

But Olivia has entered the cookbook world now. And just because she isn’t eating 100% vegetarian doesn’t mean she’s forgotten how to cook it. Her book, Livwise, set for release in May, is very vegetarian friendly.

Incoming freshman at the University of North Carolina and Duke University will be asked to consider the effects of their diet on the planet as the book on board for summer reading is Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

The two universities often work with one another on all sorts of initiatives except sports, and officials chose Foer’s book for both Blue Devils and Tar Heels over 293 other suggestions.

“I think any student reading this book will look at the research that the author did and realize that that’s what they should think about doing for all the big decisions in their lives,” Jan Yopp, the UNC dean of summer school and chairwoman of UNC’s selection committee, said.

Anthony Bourdain may never be president of the Vegan of the Month Club, but in recent years, the chef and author who said vegans are a “persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn,” has stood up for some of the very same animal cruelty and sustainable food principles vegetarians have.

Treehugger highlighted this during a review of Bourdain’s book, Medium Rare, where he says he and PETA are alike in that he doesn’t want animals to suffer and that people should be eating less meat.
