Gino D' Acampo

Chef Gino D’ Acampo promised ITV’s “This Morning” that if they won an award, he’d cook naked on television.

Some promises are okay if broken. Really.

But D’Acampo kept his, and made gammon in the buff, the NSFW video below also revealing his special “sock” he took off, along with his apron, to really stay true to his word.

A naked Gino isn’t so bad, but he might have been hotter whipping up a plant-based Italian meal instead. We know factory farming is unhealthy for the environment, animals and people, and a film titled Pig Business examining the state of the pork industry in the UK illustrates this.

Jonathan Safran Foer

“Sure, you could be an honest person who tells lies all the time but I don’t think we need to get into whether such a thing disqualifies you or not but what we can say is this: We know it is indisputably the number one cause of global warming. So what does it mean exactly to be an environmentalist on a daily basis if you are not thinking about the number one cause of global warming or one of the top two or three causes of all other environmental problems?”

Butter London 3 Free

A British cosmetic company called Butter London is releasing a limited edition nail lacquer symbolizing Kate Middleton‘s long wait before finally agreeing to tie the knot with Prince William.

“Waity Kaity” will be part of Butter London’s “3 Free” collection, meaning it, like all of its lacquers, does not contain three chemicals found in traditional lacquer that are suggested toxins–formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (Phthales).

Butter London is also a vegan-friendly company which has taken the time to formulate other products without chemicals like parabens, such as “The Master,” “The Mistress,” and “The Madam.”

Def Leppard

Phil Collen has been rocking with Def Leppard since the 80s. At 53 years old, he can still drive the band’s female fans into “hysteria” when he’s seen photographed with his shirt off. This weekend, you catch Phil giving a presentation on exercising and healthy eating at the Los Angeles Fitness Expo. Last week, we gave you a preview of our exclusive Q & A with Phil. Here’s the rest of his story.

On Reasons For Going Veg
I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons. The idea of eating dead bodies made me feel ill. With a simple progression towards being healthier and healthier now I’m currently ‘almost’ total vegan (no eggs or milk) although I do dip into the chocolates on occasion.

Green Living  At Home With Wife Helen
Well, we don’t drive a Prius, but we don’t go around spraying aerosols into the atmosphere and throwing cans and bottles down the gutter. It’s really a common sense issue. Recycling is a given—doing it and using recycled products. We use hemp products too.

Tofu, Tempeh Or Seitan
We [he and Helen] do them all.

Favorite Exercises
Muay Thai Kickboxing training and weight workouts. I also have a spin bike that I’m on all the time.

Eating Healthy On Tour
I eat pretty basic on tour. You can find great vegetarian dishes in different cities. I have a Panini grill which is great for grilling tofu and veggie burgers. I drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit and nuts too.
