One company offering several non-dairy drinks may lead the way to more Americans incorporating soy, almond and coconut beverages into their everyday eating routines.

Silk is offering a 10-day challenge where it asks customers to use its soy, almond and coconut milk products in place of dairy for a little over a week to see how easy it is to cook, eat and drink without cow’s milk.

“I wanted people to have an opportunity to really be kind to themselves—once and for all, have everything they ever dreamed of, like the strongest immune system, the most beautiful skin, increased energy so they are just so vital, and reduced risk of illness—from the really scary ones like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis to allergies and asthma. The great news is that in that process you are also being kind to the planet and also kind to other creatures and also kind to children and people of the world who have no food. So it really just sums up what is possible through our food choices.”

—Alicia Silverstone, during an interview with Gourmet Live on her book, The Kind Diet. The entire interview with Gourmet Live is available through the free Gourmet Live app, which can be downloaded here.

Veganism is taking over day time television.

Oprah had her 2nd vegan episode not long ago. Now, Martha Stewart can say “I did it too.”

With two of the most influential ladies of TV giving vegan some face time, there won’t be a woman (or even a man) on Earth who won’t be considering adding seitan to their lives.

Biz Stone‘s segment on The Martha Stewart Show has been posted to Gawker.

“One of the things we like to do is we like to take real comfort food [and make it vegan]. And this particular food is like a stew that’s really great during a rainy day,” Biz said.

Biz revealed that when his wife Livia is cooking at home, he reads books to her while she’s at the stovetop.

“We have a bunch of classic books. We just finished Treasure Island. We have a lot of the Sherlock Holmes stories…That’s kind of like, my role in the kitchen.”

Using Westsoy brand of seitan, Biz and Martha walk through the steps of cooking seitan bourguignon. While Martha is stirring the seitan, Biz jokes, “I guess I should be reading to you.”

Since Mike Tyson embarked on a vegan diet, losing over 100 pounds in the process, he doesn’t even want to smell meat aromas.

That includes on someone’s breath.

Tyson shared this with the New York Times, while adding he wants nothing in his body that “that’s going to enrage me — no processed food, no meat.”

We already know vegetables can make your armpits smell nicer. Conversely, animal products like meat, dairy and eggs may leave your mouth hungry for a mint or two.

All those celebrities who put their faces on their food products (cough, cough Wolfgang Puck) had better watch out.

Former Lost star Jorge Garcia has been in the kitchen mastering his formula for almond milk and he’s already got it bottled and waiting for the no-milk man to deliver.

It’s hard to get “Lost” using Garcia’s recipe because there are only two ingredients: almonds and water.

“Having given up dairy not too long ago I couldn’t help but notice how many ingredients were actually in my store bought almond milk,” Garcia blogged.
