Vegetarian Star

Jessica Alba is extremely careful of what she puts in her daughter’s body.

Even though she had a bad experience with the icing, last Easter she made Honor Marie organic, vegan cupcakes.

And when it comes to milk, it’s non-dairy for baby as well.

“All of her pasta is spelt or quinoa,” she told hlifemedia. “It’s been a way to introduce protein in her diet, and she only drinks almond milk that has no sugar in it. And everything is organic.”

McDonald’s Germany is reintroducing its veggie burger.

The vegetable patty containing potatoes, carrots and peppers is a part of an overhaul on German McDonald’s menus to increase sales.

The veggie burger is expected to attract more women.

If Christian Serratos goes to Europe, maybe she’ll be Tweeting about meatless patties from the golden arches.

“It’s shocking and disturbing. Everyone should know what’s going on in the food industry. It’s not about being a vegetarian or about eating meat. It’s about everyone joining together to change things.”

—-vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney (as quoted by Bloomberg), on the film Food Inc., which educates on the industrial production of food.

Michelle Obama recently spoke about her initiative  to reduce obesity rates in children.

The administration is requesting $10 million dollars over the next decade to improve the school lunch program, which includes making more fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products available.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine advocates a vegan diet, and two of its representatives, nutritionist Kathryn Strong and public affairs director Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of representative Dennis Kucinich, have offered their insights.

Strong suggested that subsidies to the meat and dairy industries be cut. If these higher fat meat and cheese items aren’t as cheap, they may be less likely to be included as a regular option in schools.

Kucinich emphasized the value of healthy foods as preventative medicine for obesity related illnesses like diabetes.

“What is the cost to the nation if we don’t [consider it]?” she said, according to the Epoch Times.

Kucinich also emphasized that for some low-income children, the school meal might be the only meal they eat.

Dairy sensitivities and/or lactose intolerance is common in minority groups that are often over- represented in low income school districts.

A carton of soy milk replacing 2% on the lunch tray may give schools a better report card in future semesters.

Jason Solomons at The Guardian‘s Film Weekly interviewed director Robert Kenner and author of Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser to discuss Kenner’s documentary on corporate involvement in mass produced food, Food Inc.

The issue of how people may be unaware of where food comes from or how it is produced was mentioned.

“My country life butter does not come from a small maid churning away?” Solomons asked sarcastically.

Probably not, but Solomons should never give up looking.

A podcast of the discussion can be heard here.

Katy Perry has a fish eating vegetarian sister, who’ll waste no time giving her the smackdown  if she catches her eating other meat.

“My sister makes me watch what I eat. She’s a pescatarian, a vegetarian who eats fish, and she’s lost so much weight from being that. She’ll scream at me if some of the crew on my tour get hot pizza for a snack and I want some. Sometimes I can grab a slice, but if my sister sees me, I get a verbal lashing! I eat secretly in the corner – my one pepperoni slice.”

Hopefully, this will keep Katy, the aspiring vegetarian who can’t give up chicken, in line.

Otherwise, little sis might have to break out the leather-free belt for a good whipping!

Dr. Mehmet Oz loves his veggies!

In a 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me article in US Magazine, Dr. Oz reveals his favorite vegetable is okra.

He also divulged one of his favorite songs is by John Mayer.

Definitely TMI.

Besides okra, when Dr. Oz goes grocery shopping, he probably picks up other healthy items he recommended to Palm Beach Post, like ginger, yogurt with rich anti-oxidant blueberries, and colorful vegetables, which, according to Oz, the deeper and darker the color, the better.

Are these the items Rocco the meat eating cowboy ate during Dr. Oz’s mandated vegan diet?

Move over Michelle Obama!

The First Lady of the White House isn’t the only woman to show off her home grown greens.

Jennifer Taylor, the actress who is Charlie Sheen‘s love interest on Two and a Half Men, has revealed to EcoStiletto she tries to be greener by tending to an organic garden, which makes it so much easier to eat better at home.

“It takes a conscious effort because it’s so much easier to cook crap that’s nowhere near green. It takes a lot of effort. I’m a big planner and list maker. I live out of my little agenda. I prepare for dinners a couple of days in advance because I know that I can’t just grab something off of the shelf as I’m going home.”

“I think it’s important to eat clean and simply and just do something. Gardening, recycling, carrying reusable water bottles—every little thing helps. If everybody did one little thing it would really help.”

Need some advice for growing your own?

Jennifer gives the following tips:

1. Wear gloves. I always forget.
2. Use your coffee grinds and pickle juice as fertilizer. Gardenias love pickle juice!
3. Soapy water in a spray bottle is a great natural pesticide for your fruits and vegetables.
4. Don’t be afraid to prune a lot. The plant will grow back bigger and stronger.
5. Get the kids involved. We let Jake pick his own seed packets, and he’s responsible for watering his plants. He recently planted a sunflower and was amazed at how big it grew!
