Vegetarian Star

The best way to prevent and extinguish high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes is through food. Rip Esselstyn, author of The Engine 2 Diet, was lucky enough to have a cardiologist father who had seen the benefits of how a plant-based diet revered heart disease in his patients. But as a firefighter in Texas, he saw his fellow fighters trapped in a dangerous situation that no safety and rescue equipment could fix.

“Before I became a vegetarian I was a huge hamburger fan. It’s not quite the national food of Canada (that would be beer, or maybe poutine, but probably beer) but hamburgers are for everyone, even us. Then, after I gave up meat, I became a huge veggie burger fan and that’s when I had my revelation: it wasn’t the meat that mattered to me. From where I was eating, the hamburger was simply a delivery device for condiments and lettuce and onions and cheese and tomatoes and bread. Those wan soy patties fell into the background and all those condiments, that turned out to be my true love, rushed to the fore.”

—Amanda Cohen, founder and owner of Dirt Candy, a vegetable restaurant in New York City. This week has been burger week at Eater, and Cohen’s post for the Veggie Burger Power Hour wraps up the work week.

At first, Vegetarian Star thought it might not be a good idea to talk about Mayim Bialik being named one of the Top 20 Jews in the Arts by Shalom Life.

Bialik hates gossip, so she should probably wouldn’t be happy to know we like to talk about everything vegan in her life like her vegan pediatrician for her son Miles or her double chocolate brownies recipe.

Haven’t heard one of these stories in a few months, so here’s something to get angry about ’cause we know all vegetarians love hearing famous people talk about how the diet failed them.

Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev went vegetarian for a few months. Then she became weak, tired (yawn, how many times have you heard this line) and decided she needed beef.
