Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel has written a new book, Skinnygirl Solutions, that is filled with the same healthy eating and diet advice she’s dispensed for years.

This is the fifth book for the best-selling author and like many of her previous tips, suggestions and recipes, is a solution derived from putting plant-based foods in the formula.

Vegetarians are less likely to suffer from obesity and its associated diseases, so it’s no surprise Frankel’s guide to getting skinny warrants swapping a real burger for a veggie one.

Michael Pollan "Cooked"

“To cook or not to cook thus becomes a consequential question. Though I realize that is putting the matter a bit too bluntly. Cooking means different things at different times to different people; seldom is it an all-or-nothing proposition. Yet even to cook a few more nights a week than you already do, or to devote a Sunday to making a few meals for the week, or perhaps to try every now and again to make something you only ever expected to buy — even these modest acts will constitute a kind of a vote.”

Michael Pollan, from his latest book Cooked: A DIY Manifesto, where the flexitarian ally and advocate of less processed food explores the art of a skill that allows us to vote for whole foods and quality ingredients at the local supermarket.

Davey Havok

Davey Havok, frontman for AFI, has written his first novel.

Pop Kids tells the story of Score Massi, an 18-year old living in a small California town and fixated with many things in life, including pop culture, moving to a big city, and “vegan banana bread,” according to the summary on its back cover.

Such a life is often portrayed in the media as one that includes dabbling in drugs and alcohol on your way up or once you reach the top.

That isn’t the case for Massi and it never was for Havok, as he explained how he got involved with the vegan, straight-edge movement.
