Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet, lifestyle and cookbook, The Kind Diet, has been released in paperback form.

The paperback edition contains the same useful information about transitioning to a vegan diet, whether you’re interested in eating a few vegan meals a week or going totally raw. The Kind Diet also educates readers on the animal welfare and environmental reasons that motivate some to go vegan.

What’s great about the paperback edition is that it was created in an environmentally friendly manner. The book uses soy ink and is printed on recycled paper. Not only does soy ink produce less harmful chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOC), it also makes recycling the paper it’s printed on easier because soy ink  is easier to remove from printed paper.

As expected, Silverstone is touring to promote the paperback edition. Check out the dates below to see if she’s coming to a town near you.

“I’m still waiting to see how serious the administration is. Even naming it “Let’s Move” suggests that the problem is that kids aren’t sweating enough, and I think that’s a mistake. Researchers have looked at the causes of childhood obesity and the changes in physical activity and diet. And the changes in physical activity, while there for some kids, are not enough to account for the increase in obesity. If you tell a kid you’ve got to exercise off the calories they just ate in six chicken nuggets, that child has to run 3-1/2 miles. In theory, you can force children to exercise off the calories we are stuffing down their throats, but the issue really is the input side.”

—Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, on Michelle Obama‘s campaign to get kids fitter, Let’s Move!” Dr. Barnard, who follows a vegan diet, believes calorie counting is not necessary if people fill up on grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.

The PCRM recently unveiled its eating guidelines in what it calls the Power Plate. The Power Plate doesn’t recommend a definite number of servings from each food group, but simply advocates eating a completely plant-based diet, choosing foods from legumes, grains, fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

And please don’t call him a vegan. Although he eats a plant-based diet, he said the word vegan, “sounds like I’ve got a red tie-dye shirt. What I say is that I follow a vegan diet. I use it as a word for foods, not people.”

Russell Simmons is a well known vegan business man who’s created everything from record labels to clothing lines to bank cards.

Simmons is a dedicated Buddhist who often discusses how he incorporates his religious principles into business to ensure he’s doing good for someone versus just making a profit.

In his book, Super Rich, Simmons demonstrates this by using a story to about a steakhouse owner who leaves his restaurant to his vegan son. Both are good people who can be rewarded both financially and spiritually. But the son is enlightened and realizes harm is still being committed.
