A behind the scenes interview with Jillian Michaels as she films an ad for So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage’s “Change Your Milk. Change Your Life,” campaign.

Michaels will be representing the vegan beverage, with the campaign to launch next year.

Michaels discovered the beverage while looking for non-dairy, milk alternatives in the grocery store and was impressed by the drink’s nutritional benefits, as well as the company’s ethics.

“I read the label, I scrutinized it from top to bottom and I compared it to every single thing on the shelf from dairy to non-dairy products. What I particularly loved were all the health benefits. No pesticides. The coconuts are no genetically modified in any way. In addition, there’s Vitamin D, there’s calcium, there’s medium chain fatty acids, which are great for your heart health, its low in calories…”

Is this why some of calling coconut the new soy?

Actress Emma Stone had Paul McCartney design a matching tattoo for her and her mother to celebrate her mother’s recovery from breast cancer.

While she and Woody Harrelson were at McCartney’s home dining on veggie burgers, Stone asked McCartney to draw a tiny Blackbird, symbolizing the famous McCartney song that’s a favorite by both Emma and her mother.

The Easy A actress, who described the veggie burgers as “so good,” recently appeared on The Late Show and told David Letterman the decision to decorate her body was the first–and probably the last.

“We’ve never gotten tattoos before and probably never will again. Two years ago tomorrow she got diagnosed with breast cancer, and she’s out of the woods now, which is amazing. I wrote a letter to Paul McCartney asking him if he would draw two little bird feet – because he wrote the song – and yesterday he sent them to me.”

Just a reminder that continuing to eat those veggie burgers and soy products, as opposed to animal fat laden real ones, may one day spur your recovery from breast cancer. A study recently published in the Canadian Medical Journal found women who suffered from hormone sensitive cancers and were post-menopausal had a significantly lower risk of breast cancer recurrence if they consumed lots of soy isoflavones.

The clip of Stone with Letterman can be viewed below.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

John Joseph, author of the famous or notorious, depending on who you speak with, book about vegan diets, “Meat Is For Pussies,” has an exclusive interview at Ecorazzi.

For those that are still offended by the title, Joseph doesn’t care. And watch out. His fan base consists of both angels and inmates who agree the message is right on target.

“Get a sense of humor! Lighten up! The book is reaching everyone from Hells Angels to convicts in maximum security prisons to New York City cops — people they’d never reach. I really don’t give a shit about the people who are offended; they attacked Rory Freedman, too. But her Skinny Bitch books made millions of vegans and saved countless animals. I’ve been doing this for 30 years; the Cro-Mags have inspired tens of thousands of people to give up meat. I will never change who I am. As they say in India, “The dogs may bark, but the caravan must go on.””

More non-pussy talk about protein needs, organic vs. GMO foods and more at Ecorazzi.

Like many men, Steve-O has an interest in breasts.

He recently told Vanity Fair how he really feels about those pink ribbons going around during the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness.

“Let me tell you how I feel about these pink ribbons. I was watching the N.F.L. last week, and all the players were wearing pink. I don’t think they did anything to educate people about cancer prevention. I don’t think a pink ribbon does anything. What people need to know is that it’s the atrocious diet of Americans that’s responsible for all your cancer, all your heart disease, all your diabetes.”

Vanilla Ice Recommends Vitamins And Veg Friendly Pill Options

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 14th, 2010 in Male Singers, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.

Vanilla Ice says open wide…and pop a vitamin in your mouth.

When New York Magazine asked him what his secret was to looking so great at 41 (besides masturbating frequently like Ernest Borgnine, of course), Ice replied, “Take your vitamins … I’m a vegetarian. I don’t know. Genes.”

Ice forgot to add to invest in a quality vitamin suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Most know the gelatinous capsule takes many supplements off the list, but you have to remember there are some vitamins themselves, like D, which can be derived from animals.

Students with food trays

It’s been said it’s ultimately the parent’s job to educate children and if school cafeterias won’t stop serving junk for food, you’re going to have to submit your vegetarian recipes to teach them to cook something else!

The USDA has partnered with Michelle Obama‘s “Let’s Move!” campaign in a contest that seeks the best recipes for plant based meals to be included in school lunch menus around the country. Participants are asked to form teams and develop recipes in the following categories: Whole Grains, Dark Green and Orange vegetables, or Dry Beans and Peas. Meat recipes are not wanted, thank you very much!
