“Hide those vegan xmas cookies! I don’t want to even smell them!”

—-Hunter Burgan, in a recent Tweet.

Why on earth would you want to get rid of vegan cookies?

Cause most vegan desserts give vegheads a Pringles Potato Chip like syndrome–once you pop one in your mouth, it’s difficult to stop!

“Give up meat one day and then two days maybe. It’s a very, very intelligent idea.”

—Yoko Ono, on Twitter, giving a shout out to the Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Going veg for one day a week sure is tasty AND intelligent.

Kathy Freston has already blogged all the fascinating statistics on the effects of eating less meat.

Like the fact that if everyone did a Meat Free Monday (or Friday, Saturday or Sunday), the United States would save 1.5 billion pounds of crops normally fed to livestock.

That’s enough to feed the state of New Mexico for over a year!

“I love animals, so obviously I’m for wearing cotton as opposed to fur, wool or leather.”

—Emily Deschanel, at a party sponsored by Vanity Fair and Cotton Incorporated which benefited the Humane Society of the United States.

Sounds like Emily shares the same taste in fashion as her vegan friendly little sister Zooey, who made an entire commercial for cotton love.

“When you look at a grocery bill, the most expensive part is usually meat. Vegetables are never going to be as expensive as meat. Part of the responsibility is not just the companies that sell the food, it’s up to consumers to make better food choices. The more that people demand better and organic food. The more economically viable it will be in the future.”

—The Conscious Cook chef Tal Ronnen, giving his thoughts on how families living on a budget can still eat veg.

“Among the “nasty” foods is white sugar (and its friend high fructose corn and syrup). Simply put, you should just consider it crack, only sliiiiightly less addictive. White sugar leeches vitamins and minerals from your blood and bones, messes with your immune system, leads to insulin resistance, and makes you feel crazy-extreme peaks and dips in blood sugar can cause nausea, headaches and fatigue, irritability, anxiety, dizziness, heart palpitations, crying and depression. And it makes us fat.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, in an interview with Planet Green, giving examples of what she calls “nasty” foods in her book, The Kind Diet.

“One of my favorite things to do is to pick a food, like kale, and get some fresh from the farmers’ market, then look up different recipes with it as an ingredient, make all those recipes, and decide which is best.”

—Kristen Bell, in an Q & A session from the January 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times.

“This isn’t just me, a vegetarian, banging on: it was a United Nations report … that got me interested. There’s a need to do something: the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport put together. People are confused about what they can do — they can try one meat-free day a week. It’s kind of interesting once you get into it.”

—-Paul McCartney, addressing a crowd at the European Parliament last week in Brussels, Belgium, promoting his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Getting into going meat-free may be an occasional treat to start.

But who knows?

After awhile, you may find it so hot, you’ll wanna do the veg thing every day.
