The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone‘s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today, Alicia answers the question of what it means to “eat kind.”

“Eating “Kind” is about being really, really good to yourself and the planet via the foods you put into your body. A plant-based diet filled with whole and organic foods will give you tons of energy, mental clarity, gorgeous skin and a zest for life. But this kindness also extends to the earth itself; by requiring less fuel, water, and other resources, a plant-based diet is much lighter on the planet. And because it is clean, this diet helps our soil, water and atmosphere get healthy as well.”

Don’t miss your chance to learn to eat kinder and help yourself, animals, and the planet.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Like almost mother-in-law like son.

Levi Johnston, the ex and baby daddy of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin‘s daughter Bristol Palin‘s child, has just admitted to gobbling up Morris.

To bring sexy back for his upcoming nude photos for Playgirl (yes, we know you’re running to the stands right now), Levi has been eating lots of meat, specifically Moose meat.

“Moose meat is very good for you, high in protein and very lean,” says Levi’s trainer, Marvin Jones. “He’s an avid hunter, so he has his own.”

What Marvin the trainer doesn’t know is that there are plenty of athletes that get bulky, ripped and ready to go on a vegetarian and even vegan diet.

Moose meat may only let Levi sit naked (or is it nekkid in Alaska) in front of the camera, but the complete protein of soy and high protein plant foods like tempeh could give him the strength and endurance of a triathlete like Brandon Brazier.

Boo to moose meat.

Boo to meaty diets as an attempt to look athletic.

We’ll wait for the centerfold to come out before we boo Levi’s body.

Amy Ferguson was asked at the Toronto Film Festival what the last favor she asked someone was.

“Three days ago I asked Woody Harrelson to come to the World Peace Yoga Conference,” Ferguson answered, according to InStyle magazine.

Since Woody is one of Hollywood’s prime yoga boys, he must have at least seriously considered.

The World Peace Yoga Conference takes places in Loveland, Ohio in the greater Cinncinati area from October 23 through October 25.

This event is for more than just those who enjoy the pretzel positions.

The conference brings together a love for the environment, food and animal activism.

Delicious vegan food will be served while you have the chance to hear noted vegan authors and speakers discuss foodie topics such as cooking and gardening.

You may also take advantage of the environmental classes to learn how you can help fight global warming and poverty.

David Life, co founder of the popular Jivamukti Yoga School and Cafe said:

“Care enough about the world to become peace-filled in Love-land! The World Peace Yoga Conference is the best idea of the millennium. This is an opportunity for all of us to show that we care enough about world peace to take the first step ourselves. Yoga means “you do it!” You don’t wait for someone else to be compassionate, you do it. You don’t wait for someone else to create peace, you create it- find out how, by attending the World Peace Yoga Conference.”

Registration ends on October 16, so reserve your spot now at worldpeaceyogaconference.com.
