Vegetarian Star

Mischa Barton says she feels healthier now that she’s following a vegan diet.

The actress says she’s no longer being strict about what she eats as long as it’s animal-free.

“Mischa’s grown tired of doing extreme fasts and cleanses to try and drop weight quickly and then putting it all back on. She’s healthier than ever, following a vegan eating plan – but she’s not calorie counting,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling Heat Magazine.

“Mischa’s been through the wringer with her body. Her weight has massively fluctuated over the years, after falling off and on the diet wagon, but now she’s giving herself a break,” she added.

If you’re going to ban the fizzy Slurpee, ban the moo juice too, says Simmons in his letter.

“We discuss the idea of a superior race coming here,” he said in an interview with The Wrap. “Professor Michio Kaku has an interesting discussion on it. Intelligence apparently requires an enormous amount of protein. Which is why we eat meat. Instead of being vegetarians. We have this enormous brain capacity.”
