Vegetarian Star

“For people who are actually repulsed by meat, they’re not going to like this. The first reaction I had was, I know this is a meat analogue but if someone were to serve this to me in a restaurant I would have said ‘I think this is a mistake. There’s something about the mouth-feel, the fattiness. It feels fatty and muscly and like it’s not good for you when you’re chewing it. For a long-time vegan, it’s a little bit freaky.”

—Biz Stone, Twitter co-founder, on the new chicken substitute his company helped to promote, Beyond Meat.

“It’s like anybody who’s trying to make a change, especially a habit like eating food every day. It’s hard to make a change. I know it’s hard for people to digest. No pun intended.”

—Ellen DeGeneres, on the transition to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Its’ a lot easier to digest one if you attempt it baby steps. Try Meatless Mondays first. Or eating vegan for every meal except dinner. Or just go cold turkey. No pun intended.

“As far as frightening foods are concerned, among the worst, surprisingly, is cheese. It should carry a warning label. Americans now consume 33 or 34 pounds of it per person each year. Most people don’t know that cheese derives 70 percent of its calories from fat, most of which is saturated. This is what drives heart disease and diabetes. As our infatuation with cheese has grown, so have our waistlines.”

—Dr. Neal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group of physicians and laypersons advocating a vegan diet for better health.

“When I made that decision it forced me to learn about nutrition, forced me to learn about the things I should be eating. It also exposed to me the corporate farming methods we use in this country and just how unhealthy it is for us as consumers. When you’re relying on corporations to feed you, you have to remember that their bottom line is making money.”

“To me, cooking vegetarian is an expression of love. It’s saying, I’m taking care of my family. I’m taking care of myself. I’m taking care of animals that aren’t being killed. A cookbook is about sharing the joy of that.”

—Megyn Price, in an interview with Vegetarian Times on the vegetarian cookbook she’s currently working on. It’s sure to include plenty of enticing recipes like this one for Very Green Soup, an alternative to chicken soup during those sniffle moments. Price says that, “Chicken soup is traditional, but, last time I checked, it contains the little feathery friends I have in my front yard, so it’s not an option.”

Check out the cruelty-free option to chicken soup that contains rice, fresh herbs, various greens, tofu and more at Price’s blog, Scrambled Meg.

“I’m borderline vegan, I still have like milk in coffee and that as an ingredient, but even that I’m kind of edging out because I’m trying to go completely raw at some point, so yeah.”

“I want my jokes to be at a higher level. I want jokes with premises that really tap into something. Carlin did something where he really made people aware of political issues and environmental issues while making people laugh at themselves. He was calling people out on their stupidity in a way that made them laugh about it. That’s a skill. I would like to get there. It doesn’t have to be environmental. I am vegan, so I would like to do some animal rights jokes, but it would be more about the suppression in society.I would like to somehow take those serious issues and make people laugh about it.”

—Kate Wolff, vegan stand-up comedian who looks like she’ll be making fun of tofu in the future. Until then, enjoy her commentary on Grandpa has STDs below.

“I would tell her to read about what she’s doing and putting into her body. True education will only protect you and it’s important to learn about what you’re eating, wearing, etc. I think it’s important to know that our decisions affect animals. Then, people can make intelligent decisions and know there are intelligent alternatives out there.”

—Cornelia Guest, during an interview, when asked what one vegan change she’d like a person to make in their life.
