Vegetarian Star

“I understand that Fortnum and Mason are one of the last remaining retailers to still sell foie gras. Meet with me, any time and any place, and through hypnotic suggestion I will help you tap into your mind, to put yourself in the place of the birds and know that it is indefensible to sell the product of their extreme suffering. … I am confident I can help you come to realize you’ll want nothing to do with this vile foie gras.”

—Uri Geller, mentalist and magician who wants to use the power of the mind to help one of the last sellers of Foie Gras in the UK, Fortnum & Mason, to take the product off the shelves.

“When I was a kid I used to try and help injured animals, and I’d pick up strays. If you have an animal friend, you learn what loyalty means. They know how to love. They know how to be devoted. They know how to make you happy. What we need most to help animals is new legislation to protect them and to enforce the laws we already have.”

“They wanted me to be a vegetarian for a little bit. If I wanted to stay alive, I had to do it, so I did it for about a week, a week and a half. You never know if it is going to get worse or not, so you have to change. You have to listen.”

“Even if you cut out animal products just two days a week, you can make a huge difference in your health and the health of the planet. Forcing a radical change that you can’t stick with doesn’t make sense. Ease in at a pace and depth that feel comfortable. Beginning to eat vegan gives you a taste for it, and there’s a good chance that if you do it part time, you’ll want to go further.”

—Tal Ronnen, in his “5 Rules for Going Vegan,” all of which are listed at E! Online.

—Christina Pirello, during an interview in which she explains that consumers have “much to learn” about food and how it can prevent disease.

One of the best ways to learn is by learning a new vegetable each week and how it benefits the body. Have your cart ready? How can yellow squash keep you healthy?
