Vegetarian Star

Kate Nash has some quirks, like her OCD, which made her go vegetarian. But for a gal with anxiety, amazingly, it’s not being thousands of feet above ground the makes her nervous. It’s the food she might encounter on the flight.

“I’m not scared of crashing or turbulence,” Nash told the Columbus Dispatch. “I hate the food, so I always make a packed lunch”

The holidays are moments away and if you prefer the friendly skies to get over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s, you should know the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has researched and found the best airports for healthy vegan and vegetarian food. If flying out of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, you’ll have it made. Taking off or landing in Las Vegas or Washington, D.C, however, may be a problem.

Rip Esselstyn has partnered with Whole Foods Market to guide customers in making the best choices for dinner, which consists of items that have roots in the ground, not an animal.

The author of the best selling book, “The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter’s 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan That Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds,” who turned his fire station veg explained to the Huffington Post that most people are “plant weak,” when they should be what he calls “Plant Strong.”

“I tell people, right now we have a country that is plant-weak. If you were to look at caloric pie of how Americans eat, close to 60 percent of America’s calories are coming from refined and processed foods. You know, the white stuff: the fried chips, the soda pop, fruit juices, doughnuts and cakes.”

Jessica Seinfeld became an even more famous wife of Jerry Seinfeld after publishing a cookbook, Deceptively Delicious, that offered tips for incorporating vegetables into kids’ meals. While the title made it sound as if Seinfeld wanted parents to trick kids into eating something unknown, she clarified with Parent Dish that was never the intention. It was more about enhanced vegetable marketing.

“There is never a moment when my kids don’t know how important vegetables are. I add purees like I would add milk or sugar. I don’t think of them as anything scandalous or deceptive. I think what’s really deceptive is how food companies market their food as good for people when it’s not. That’s the deception going on in the food world, not making your family’s food better for them. That’s not something I feel bad about.”

This fancying up of vegetables and other healthy foods and placing them in different locations is similar to what one high school in New York did to increase sales of wholesome foods and decrease consumption of sugared milk, desserts and other less desirable items.

Britain’s oldest man turns 108 this week, reports the Daily Mail.

The Rev Reg Dean, as his name suggests, has been a minister and served as an army chaplain during the Second World War. He was also a teacher and helped start a male choir of which he is still the president.

When asked his secrets to longevity, he replied he had five secrets: “Good friends,” “religion,” “looking for the best in people not the worst,” and “being a vegetarian for 30 years,” but he couldn’t remember the 5th one.

Well, he is 108, you know.

The midterm elections are over, but one former politician will be asking for your vote soon, as PETA holds its Sexiest Vegetarians contest for 2011.

Insiders reveal former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is definitely a candidate.

“Clinton will surely be a popular nominee in next year’s contest,” said PETA’s Jaime Zalac, according to U.S. News and World Report.

On the advice of two famous physicians and authors, Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Clinton turned to a plant-based diet in hopes it may repair some of the damage to his cardio system he’s sustained over the years after learning of a study that showed most individuals who stopped eating animal products were able to reverse signs of heart disease.

In addition to a mostly vegan, organic, whole-grain bread company’s English Muffins, Men’s Health Magazine has chosen EDEN Organic company’s beans (EDEN Organic Black Beans, EDEN Organic Spicy Refried Black Beans) found in BPA-free lined cans as one of the “125 Best Foods For Men” in its November 2010 issue.

BPA, short for bisphenol A, is a chemical found in the materials used to line canned food and drink products and an endocrine disruptor associated with abnormalities of the male and female reproductive system as well as some cancers.

For males, BPA has been associated with numerous sexual problems, including reduced sperm count and motility and erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems. Clearly, any male interested in protecting one of his most valuable assets will want to heed Men’s Health advice immediately.
