Vegetarian Star

In celebration of him going vegan, former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, will get his own set of “happy cows” and chickens dancing for him.

ABS-CBN News reports the event will occur when Clinton visits the Philippines capital on Wednesday to deliver a speech.

“The dancing “cow” and “chicken” will wait outside the Manila Hotel on November 10, where Clinton will deliver a keynote speech. They will hold signs that read “Be Like Bill: Grill Veggies, Not Meat” and “Chicks Love Slim Vegan Bill!,” recognizing the former US President’s efforts to stay healthy for his future grandchildren.”

Will Bill join the characters and show off his new vegan athletic prowess by doing the funky no-slaughter chicken?

There are times when I’m a vegetarian, times when I’m a pescatarian. But I don’t eat meat… I’m still tempted… there’s so much that I love.”

—Janet Jackson, on trying to stay veg.

How food gets from the farm to your plate is becoming an increasingly popular topic, given the fact most conscious eaters want to know what they eat was grown under environmentally friendly conditions for the planet and farm workers and had minimum impact, if any, on animals.

The farm is also where many food education programs take children as part of an initiative to get them to eat better once they’ve become acquainted with how produce is grown and harvested.

Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman and Jenny and Heather Goldberg of Spork Foods, a company that offers organic, vegan cooking classes in the LA area, visited a farm to learn the ins and outs of produce growing.

In between chit chatting with the “meat-eating farmer,” Freedman discusses vegan issues, such as cruelty to male chicks in the egg industry and what motivated her to give up animal products as well as environmental changes that have affected the nutrition and safety of our food.

When some politicians write books, they discuss the scandals, the life on Capitol Hill and their next career move.

Representative Dennis Kucinich would like to tell you about his diet.

From the Bloomberg Businessweek article on vegan powerhouses, it’s reported that the Ohio congressman is working on a book about his vegan lifestyle, tentatively titled, “The Cleveland Diet.”

Kucinich is such a good political talker, he was able to persuade Representative Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), the head of the Committee on House Administration, to put vegan options on the menu at the cafeteria during Congress’ sessions.

Here’s hoping he wins plenty of votes for the diet when the book is released.
