Vegetarian Star

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.

Kristy Lee Cook has taken heat from animal lovers for her new TV show about hunting. But in all fairness, we have to report on the animal and vegetarian lifestyle friendly activities she does as well.

The former American Idol finalist founded a horse rescue organization, the KLC Horse Heaven Foundation, that enriches the lives of horses and people through three different divisions: the Free’d Spirit program, Hors’n Around program and the Natures Wild Adventures program.

The Free’d Spirit program purchases horse from people who either can no longer take care of the animals or rescues them from abuse or neglect situations. The program includes rescuing horses from race tracks once they are deemed too old to compete.
