“Here’s why I’m unabashedly pro-faux: It’s much better for human health, exponentially better for our environment, and infinitely better for animals.”

“I wish that we lived in a world where every family had the time, know-how, means, and motivation to prepare healthful, from-scratch meals brimming with organic vegetables, whole grains, and slow-cooked beans. There is no doubt that this is the ideal, and that we’d all be a lot better off if we ate this way.”

Looks like we won’t be tossing Alyssa Milano in the basket of female vegetarian celebrities who start chowing down on fried chicken during their pregnancies.

The Hall Pass actress revealed during a premiere of her new film that she “can’t get enough broccoli.”

Whew! So glad she didn’t say “beef stir fry” after the word “broccoli.”

Craving meat when you’re a pregnant vegetarian may be tough when you want to stick to your ethics, but there are also dangers that come with some of those unusual, uncontrollable desires.

Ever since Jon Fitch picked up a copy of the man’s guide to going vegetarian and vegan, Skinny Bastard, he’s gotten tough.

This guy’s so tough, you don’t want to fight him. Ever. Instead, you want to be his friend so he’ll make yummy meals for you like the kind he demonstrates in this YouTube video posted on his journal in an entry titled, “My ‘Weird Diet’ Explained.”

Fitch’s typical breakfast might consist of oatmeal sweetened with agave syrup and flavored with hemp milk. For lunch, it’s tofu stir fry and rice. He likes his nuts, but will only eat them if raw and organic. An excerpt from his journal on his new weird diet can be viewed below.

Last week, MMA fighters took the spotlight reserved for veg male athletes.

This week, it’s time to take a look at NBA players and legends whose game got better without gammon.

During a celebrity pizza making contest on Gordon Ramsay‘s Kitchen Nightmares, Miami Heat forward James Jones piled his pizza with meat toppings he’d never eat. When it’s time to order pizza for himself, Jones does things differently.

“But you see, I didn’t eat the pizza,” Jones told ESPN about the competition. “I’m the weird guy. I only eat pizza with straight sauce.”

Incoming freshman at the University of North Carolina and Duke University will be asked to consider the effects of their diet on the planet as the book on board for summer reading is Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

The two universities often work with one another on all sorts of initiatives except sports, and officials chose Foer’s book for both Blue Devils and Tar Heels over 293 other suggestions.

“I think any student reading this book will look at the research that the author did and realize that that’s what they should think about doing for all the big decisions in their lives,” Jan Yopp, the UNC dean of summer school and chairwoman of UNC’s selection committee, said.

Robin Quivers took a break from filming her web-based cooking show, Vegucating Robin, to blog at the Huffington Post on Oprah‘s most recent vegan stint.

Quivers’ post highlights how the several hundred Harpo staffers that went vegan with Oprah may have alleviated some of the most common medical problems caused by diets, if only for the short duration they stuck to the diet. She reminds readers that even the United States government is now telling people eating a more plant-based diet may go a long way to maintaining good health.

It’s not known how many of Oprah’s staffers continued the diet after the challenge was met. But Quivers hopes many at home who watched the episode will continue the course, seeing how taking control of one’s own health through the food he or she eats may do more than any discovery in the medical or biotech lab.
