Vegetarian Star

Bill Clinton is keeping a vegetarian vow after embracing the diet to lose a few pounds for daughter Chelsea’s wedding.

Page Six reports that the former president of the United States was spotted eating a veggie burger at Babette’s in East Hampton, New York. And let’s hear it for Hillary, who chose the falafel instead of meat as well.

“He was sitting in a corner banquette, eating a veggie burger and a mountain of vegetables. He was with Hillary, who had a falafel plate, and her mother, Dorothy Rodham, who ate French toast. Hillary kept her sunglasses on throughout the meal, and a security guard stood outside the bathroom near their table.”

If you thought you saw a slimmer, sexier looking former president of the United States from the photos of Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding, you’re right.

Sources say Bill Clinton had a goal of losing 15 pounds before his daughter’s wedding, but exceeded it by losing 23 by following a vegetarian diet.

“She doesn’t think I’m in shape,” Clinton said about Chelsea in April. “You know she told me the other day she said, ‘Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle and you gotta look good.’ So I said, ‘Well, what’s your definition?’ And she said, ‘Oh, about 15 pounds.’ So I’m about halfway home.”

Wonder if Chelsea shared some favorite recipes to help dad lose some of his tire like Thai-Spice Sweet Potato Soup with Gingered Bok Choy.

Michelle Obama "Ladies Home Journal"

Michelle Obama‘s interview with Ladies Home Journal available on the stands August 10th, reveals her suspicion of a “dislike beet gene” she shares with the president.

‘I am a believer there is a beet gene,” she said. “People who love beets love them and people who hate beets can’t stand them. Neither the President nor I have the beet gene.”

A study examining the food preference of twins found liking fruits and vegetables is somewhat influenced by genes, but environmental factors also play a big role. But judging a veggie to taste bitter may be a case of genetics of the tongue receptors.

In case you missed any of the numerous commercial promos on television, it’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Every carnivorous day of the week.

The Humane Society International has compiled a list of tips, one different tip for every day of the week, for those interested in helping to protect the great fish that rule the oceans.

If you eat at a restaurant that serves Asian food, for example, ask the staff if shark fin is on the menu. If so, walk out and let them know why you’re headed for the door. This is a practice already illegal to do in Hawaii.

Former NHL player Georges Laraque has been named the Deputy Leader of the Green Party in Canada. As a vegan and animal rights activist, Laraque couldn’t have picked a more appropriate organization to align himself with.

The Green Party’s Vision, a lengthy document updated in January of 2010, lists the party’s goals for a sustainable Canada that includes changes made to food, animal, transportation and employee practices. The party would like to give more support to organic farming, for example, by providing assistance for those switching to the process, which can take several years before becoming certified. It would also like to end federal assistance to the seal hunt while supporting an end to the seal hunt entirely.

Here are a few other key points from Green Vision:

Bob Barker made an appearance on Mike Huckabee‘s talk show, The Huckabee Show, along with Chuck Swift, captain of the MV Bob Barker, the anti-whaling ship named after the former Price Is Right host.

Both men discuss international whaling treaties and Sea Shepherd’s work. Barker says the goal is to sink the Japanese whalers economically and claims this past year was especially successful because the whalers lost money.

Barker is big supporter of Sea Shepherd, having donated several million dollars to the cause.

Dennis Kucinich was a speaker at the 2010 Animal Rights Conference in Virginia this past week where his message was to reconcile with nature.

Kucinich says we’ve disrupted this harmony by reckless exploitation of animals and destructive environmental practices that came with the industrial age.

“The central challenge of our times is to effect a reconciliation with nature. The schism between mankind and the natural world has become so pronounced in the 20th and 21st centuries.” After naming some examples of mankind disrupting nature’s balance such as mining and destroying animal habitats, Kucinich added, “All of these are indications of how far we have gone to separate ourselves from the natural world.”

Kucinich is suppose to announce sometime next month an initiative on how we can get back in touch with nature, or in his words, “relates to our connection with the earth and the environment.”

The Terminator is helping to terminate hen cruelty in California.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has just signed a law that will require all whole (shell) eggs sold in California to come from hens that were able to, “stand up, lie down, turn around, and fully extend their limbs without touching one another or the sides of an enclosure,” according to the Humane Society blog.

That means California will essentially be a cage-free state.
