Russell Simmons recently chatted with Don Imus on Imus In The Morning and the two spent a considerable time discussing Simmons’ veganism. Here’s a little bit from the conversation.

Simmons: It’s one of the worst karmic disasters in human history. Fifteen billion suffering farm animals.

Imus: People, who, for example, go get a big ol’ bucket of chicken. The way those chickens are housed and slaughtered and tormented. I really think you’re taking on the karma of the chicken. These are tormented, tortured animals. They can feel pain just like you can.

One interesting twist: Imus is a vegan too. He’s also a cattle rancher. Watch the clip to hear Simmons’ response to the idea of Imus’ support of humane slaughter of animals.

The Superbowl is about a month away and for those who enjoy the countdown, the National Football League has provided a nice stopwatch on its website.

What the NFL isn’t providing, however, is a recipe for healthy, vegetable chips to replace the salty ones in the bag you enjoy dipping while gulping down the vegan beer.

Robin Quivers and chef Gavan suggest making these from carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes and rutabagas–all fantastic tuber vegetables–as a great TV watching snack on Quivers’ web based series on vegan cooking, Vegucating Robin.

Plus, cool tips like right way to peel a vegetable and how to use a mandolin are included.

Howard Stern is the perfect candidate for your next vegan.

He’s married to animal welfare activist and author of a book about caring for dogs, Beth. He’s got a co-host, Robin Quivers, who’s been vegan for half a decade and showed the world how it’s a great path to a trimmer waistline by losing 60 pounds from following the diet.

But, really, how does Stern feel about a diet of seitan and soybeans?

“I need to get involved eventually in this vegan shit, like Robin, cuz this is killing me,” he said on a recent show.

The first episode in a web-based series featuring Robin Quivers and a vegan chef through various culinary adventures has been posted to YouTube.

“Vegucating Robin” is Quivers’ way of introducing herself to new vegan dishes since experiencing food monotony after being vegan for five years.

Quivers and Chef Gavan make “Cannellini Bean Concerto,” a vegan dish that requires only eight ingredients, which is a nice change from recipes found in many cookbooks, magazines and elsewhere that sometimes require you spend twice as much on groceries in order to purchase the ingredients for one new dish.

In this episode, Quivers helps name the dish, describing it as something that “brings all the flavors together,” making it a “concerto.”

The recipe for Cannellini Bean Concerto can be found at GavanMurphy.com/vegucating-robin. Hopefully, all future recipes from the episodes will also be available to print.

Stay tuned for December 8th’s show titled, “It’s not pesto without pine nuts!”

After five years of eating vegan, Robin Quivers faced what many face after putting another bean burrito in the microwave and scarfing it down with tomato soup. Bored with her usual food routine, Quivers hired a chef, a handsome man named Gavan who is reported to be able to “cook anything,” including some new dishes to spark Quivers’ palate.

This new television show, Vegucating Robin, will feature Gavan teaching Quivers how to blend, boil, bake, blanch and blacken tofu, pasta, legumes, vegetables and all these meat, egg, and dairy-free.

For those of us itching for a vegan or vegetarian cooking show, we may have just gotten our wish. Quivers, the co-host to shock jock Howard Stern, has the both the look, personality and celebrity status to make veg mainstream–daytime or prime-time.
