Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone is writing two new books, The Kind Diet Cookbook and The Kind Mama, and is looking for contributions from her readers and fans.

Silverstone would like to know how a vegan diet contributed to their pregnancies, if any.

“As I write my next book The Kind Mama, I’m looking for anecdotes to feature from members of The Kind Life! You guys are so important to me, especially because I started TheKindLife.com at the same time my book The Kind Diet was published,” writes Silverstone.

“I know not all of you are kind mamas, but I’d love to hear from those of you who have had a kind pregnancy…and for those of you who don’t have kids yet, hopefully this info will be helpful!’

New York Times foodwriter and opinionist Mark Bittman has proposed a new labeling system that will allow consumers to quickly make decisions about the health impact of their food purchases.

Instead of scrutinizing calories, fat, and other minute nutritional detail, shoppers would simply look for a “red,” “yellow” or “green” symbol to learn how healthy the item was.

This isn’t just Bittman’s idea thrown out of anywhere. There’s actual data suggesting the system makes consumers turn down “red” light products more.

Rosie O’Donnell spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her recent heart health scare and how she hopes switching to a vegetarian diet will help erase some of the damage she’s done to her health over the years.

“I’d like to say I had a heart attack — because women especially like to say heart event. I’m like ‘No, it’s a real heart attack,'” she emphasized. “But I’m feeling better, I’m following the doctor’s orders, and it’s totally made me change the way that I was living.”

A study found that 13% of physicians recommend a low-fat vegetarian diet for their heart patients, although it’s recommended all do. O’Donnell has chosen to follow this advice, regardless of any RX.

Katie Aselton of FX’s The League explained her dating rules to Vulture.

A good sense of humor and being able to cook all put men in Aselton’s league for potential partners.

Cooking and eating vegan, however, does not.

‘I want to eat a burger with a dude!” Aselton said. “I really like red meat. So being vegan: minus one.”
