Natalie Portman

Just because Natalie Portman is and has been a longtime vegetarian, doesn’t mean her child will automatically enjoy dining at a restaurant that serves such food.

The actress was spotted at Flore Vegan in Silverlake, California with one-year old son Aleph, who was not happy with mom’s choice and would not stop crying.

That’s too bad, considering Flore Vegan even has a complete child’s menu, featuring a burrito with black beans, cashew cheese and avocado; Tofu Egg Salad Sandwich; Cashew Cheese Quesadilla; and variety of veggie burgers including Portobello Seitan.

Any of these dishes wash down well with “Babycino,” a steamed soy milk beverage.

Timothy Bradley came out a champion at the welterweight competition at MGM Grand in Las Vegas this weekend.

Bradley beat Manny Pacquiao, an undefeated fighter since 2005, who was favored to win the match.

But even though he’s defeated legends like Oscar de la Hoya, Pacquiao was no match for superstars like tofu, beans and grains, as Bradley fought that day on an entirely plant-based diet plan he created specifically to prepare him for competition.
