“Had a really good breakfast this morning. And a vegan beet muffin. Lots of interesting food here in Nashville lol.”

For that extra Idol wow factor, jazz things up a bit with apples and cranberries in the mix.

–Marion Nestle, New York University professor and author of several best-selling books about nutrition, including Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, Safe Food: The Politics of Food Safety, What to Eat and Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine.

Nestle gave this response after learning what the Egg Safety Center recommended for preventing illness from eggs possibly contaminated with salmonella. The Safety Center’s response, which mainly deals with properly cooking eggs, can be viewed below.

–Comedian Loni Love, on her jokes made about vegetarians. Hard to say which is worst, the cannibalistic fat people joke or the one about your pet pig one day providing dinner. Maybe she should leave the veggie humor to vegan comedian Myq Kaplan.

“Yeah, I’ve totally stuck with it. In fact, I’ve been on detox for about 2 weeks now, and I’m not taking any dairy as well. And I feel great, actually. I feel like, wow, this is cool. I’ve been reading a little bit, I had a debate the other week with a friend about the dairy industry. I said, I eat eggs, and he said, oh you can’t do that if you’re a vegetarian. And then I looked into it, and I found the dairy industry and the fact that they kill a lot of the male chickens because they’re useless, it’s quite barbaric.”

–Fran Healy on how his promise to Paul McCartney to go vegetarian has also steered him away from eggs and dairy.

“It’s certainly putting veganism, veganity we call it in this movie, the vegan lifestyle is put out there. Todd isn’t necessarily the nicest promoter of the vegan lifestyle but it speaks well of it to say that you get the power of telekinesis and superpowers because you’re more clear, you’re more healthy, all of those things. So I think that they all have a good sense of humor.”

–Brandon Routh, on how he thinks vegans react to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie in which he plays a vegan ex boyfriend who uses superpowers the diet gives him to fight Scott Pilgrim.
