Last week, this young lady went to Capitol Hill to ask Congress to get their act together and make sure vegetarian lunches are on the menu at public schools.

“Some of us don’t eat right,” says Wyntergrace Wiliams, daughter of Montel Williams. “Fast food, junk food-sometimes even our school lunches have too much fat and cholesterol.”

Now you can embed this video and make it spread faster than an Internet hoax to spread the news on getting everybody to sign the petition to give kids healthier school lunches in the classroom.

Because the only thing worse than a bad grade on a report card is mystery meat on your plate.

Actress Jorja Fox hung out with the folks at GreenWithGlamour.com for their seasonal celebrity photoshoot and the crew enjoyed munching on vegan goodies, like curried mango and tempeh sandwiches.

Jorja was a multi-tasker that day as after the photo shoot she put on PETA t-shirt to pose for yet another photo campaign, this time to end the clubbing of Canadian seals.

Back to that tempeh recipe…Yum, yum, yum.

These sandwiches sound pretty simple to make, with chunks of mango and sliced scallions tossed into a pita with tempeh cubes and a dressing containing vegan mayo, curry, and lime.

Not to mention a nice food porn picture to give you something to salivate to. 

Visit greenwithglamour.com to view pictures of Jorja from the photoshoot.

And please let us know how your tempeh sandwiches turned out!

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah recently interviewed with the UK Times Online and revealed when he visits China, he’s often challenged in several ways, including his vegan diet. 

“When I got to China I found I was being challenged in really interesting ways. For instance, I always believed that everybody in China had only one child. But I kept meeting people with six children. And it’s challenging being a vegan in China, like I am — but the best vegan restaurant I’ve come across in the world is in Beijing.”

Sure wish Benjamin had mentioned that awesome vegan restaurant in Beijing. It might come in handy for some of you international travelers.

Have you had any overseas veg dieting challenges?

If you thought Kim Kardashian was looking hotter these days, maybe it’s because she’s following a macrobiotic diet that keeps her away from burgers and fries.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality TV star told US Weekly Magazine that lately she’s been eating lots of tofu, quinoa, soy cheese, and veggie burgers.

If she keeps this up, she may become vegetarian before sister Khloe does.

The diet change complements her workout regime of 2 hours a day in preparation for filming her 3 part fitness DVD series titled, Fit In Your Jeans By Friday.

Sure hope Kim continues her veggie burger with soy cheese habit once she slips into those  jeans on Friday.

If you’re looking for the next vegetarian Food Network cook, keep driving past Guy Fieri.

This Guy (pun intended) is so repulsed by that diet that he started fending for himself at a very young age to avoid his parents’ cooking.

From People.com:

“My parents were into macrobiotic cooking—vegetarian, nondairy, whole grains, no red meat. I started cooking when I was 10 because I just couldn’t eat that stuff.”

Guy’s story brings up an important area of discussion many have over the question of forcing a vegetarian diet on their children.

Should veg parents make their kids follow the lifestyle too? At least until they’re old enough to make their own decisions about their food (or old enough to earn money to buy their own groceries?)?

Kathy Freston blogged about the benefits of skipping chicken once a week on the environment and Vienna Teng is living that example. 

During a recent interview with laist.com, the New York based pianist and singer-songwriter said she finds it hard to be a complete vegetarian (she says she loves Southern fried chicken too much), but agrees with the principles and tries to flex when possible.

“I don’t know LA all that well, but I do love this vegan restaurant, Real Food Daily, in Santa Monica. When I was recording Dreaming Through the Noise, I randomly decided that I was going to be a vegetarian. I basically agree with vegetarianism in principle but I don’t have the willpower to do it long-term. I’ve just been trying to do it in short stretches, and that was one of them. So when I was recording that album in Santa Monica, I probably went to RFD five times a week. I love their bacon cheeseburger!”

Here’s Vienna in her music video “Gravity,” from the album, Waking Hour.

Emily Deschanel is not the only vegan actress to enjoy her local farmers’ market.

Alicia Silverstone recently interviewed with Glamour Magazine where she answers some questions about her vegan diet and lifestyle.

It’s no secret that fresh, organic produce and other staples of a vegetarian or vegan diet aren’t always cheap. Alicia gave some tips for making the transition easier on your pocketbook.

“The best way to save money is to go to a Farmer’s Market. Buy seasonal produce [that is grown locally]. It’s really, really cheap. I spend anywhere from $40 to $60 a week on produce. And that feeds my husband, my dogs, and me. My other grocery bill is a little bit more expensive, but that’s because I like making decadent desserts.”

“I would say to people who are concerned: I don’t go to the doctor; I don’t buy any prescriptions, antacids, or birth control. I don’t suffer from any illnesses. Consider it an investment for your health. And save money on other things. I look to eBay or Craigslist for deals on things to save money. Also, buy what you can in bulk.”
