Vegetarian Star

“Over the years I’ve learned that true health comes with an acceptance of the bumpy path, a skepticism of conventional wisdom and a willingness to explore the sidetrails.”

–Scott Jurek, ultra-marathoner who gave a presentation in the TEDMED speaker series where he discussed going from hunting down his food for dinner to hunting vegan bargains at the wholefoods store.

His story is proof of what diet can do for your health, as this former regular consumer of fast-food was urged by a physician to go on high-blood pressure medication before even graduating high school.

Alicia Silverstone spoke with PopSugar on her new line of vegan, organic, natural cosmetics, Juice Beauty.

“You can get very overwhelmed with all the choices out there. You have these guidelines. You’re like “Okay, I don’t want to have anything unhealthy. And I don’t want this to hurt the planet. And I don’t want it to hurt animals. And I want it to be amazing.”

That’s not too much to ask for and apparently, Juice Beauty has fulfilled Silverstone’s desires, with cosmetics formulated without animal testing and harsh chemicals, packaged in eco-friendly recycled materials.

“I’ve given up on governments. But I have endless hope and faith in people once they are given knowledge and skills. I’ve certainly seen all over the world in many different communities that, once people have a few skills and confidence, they make different choices in the grocery store. Once they make different choices in the grocery store — and on the Main Street fast-food restaurants — then companies will be forced to serve a higher quality offer. That’s when the real change happens.”

–Jamie Oliver, who recently created “Food Revolution Day,” a holiday celebrated this month that encouraged people around the globe to cook without processed ingredients.
