Subway restaurants in the U.S. will begin phasing in cage-free eggs, a practice already adopted by its UK franchises.

As part of its new animal welfare policy, Subway will first ensure that 4% of the eggs used in its breakfast menus are sourced from cage-free suppliers, with the goal of eventually having 100% of eggs obtained from hens that are not confined in battery cages.

“Subway’s new animal welfare policy will help improve conditions for animals within its supply chain and throughout the nation,” stated Matthew Prescott, corporate outreach director for The Humane Society of the United States’ factory farming campaign. “The Humane Society of the United States applauds Subway for beginning to phase out its use of eggs from hens confined in cages.

Subway has also taken steps to use meat obtained from more humane methods, and more than 5% of its turkey comes from suppliers that used controlled atmosphere killing, a process said to reduce suffering of slaughtered birds.

Subway is part of a group of fast food franchises pledging to make similar changes related to animal welfare, including Denny’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and IHOP.

Black Book Mag caught up with several celebrities at the Why Did I Get Married Too? premiere to find out where they enjoy getting good food in the feature, “Where Celebs Go Out.”

Janet Jackson and Cicely Tyson know where to combine delicious and healthy, as both ladies mentioned vegetarian and vegan restaurants as their favorites.

Janet likes Cafe Sunflower in Atlanta, Georgia as well as Veggieland.

Cicely recommends Pure Food and Wine in LA.

Cicely once said she treats her body like an expensive car, by putting only the best fuel in it.

“I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.”

X17 Online claims they caught Anne Hathaway going through the In-N Out Drive through.

Hathaway has been reportedly trying to stick to a mostly vegan diet.

In the picture on the site, it looks like Hathaway’s friend is the only one caught carrying the burger bag.

More importantly though, when is In-N-Out going to get with it and offer veggie burger selections on the menus like other traditional fast food burger joints who have learned to do the same (aka. Burger King).

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back to food when he grabbed a bite to eat with a friend at vegan restaurant Real Food Daily.

Justin’s no newbie to enjoying vegetarian food.

Months ago, he and Jessica Biel shared a vegan strawberry rhubarb pie and ate lunch at Vancouver’s famous veggie restaurant, The Naam.

Is JT expanding his palate to include seitan several times a week instead of steak?

Or is going veggie all the way?

Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy

Amanda Cohen has been busy at NYC’s Dirt Candy making changes to the menu to refresh the not so old vegetarian restaurant she opened less than two years ago.

Change is allowing Cohen to introduce a vegetable version of a Chinese dim sum favorite–barbecue Pork Buns.

“We use carrots instead,” Cohen told Village Voice. “The buns will be different colors based on the different colors of carrots — there’ll be pink, orange, and yellow. They’ll have a slightly barbecued carrot filling and come with a little carrot cucumber salad, and I’m trying to figure out how to make sesame halvah to sprinkle on top.”

If you’re a fan of the kimchi doughnuts, sorry to say the carrot buns have replaced them.

Missing was her foodie pal Mario Batali as Gwyneth Paltrow took another trip “On The Road Again,” this time to the southern United States.

Gwyneth visited Nashville, Tennessee for a few months in a quest to eat, drink, enjoy incredible culture and meet friendly people.

In the latest edition of her newsletter Goop, Gwyneth says a restaurant called “The Family Wash” has a vegetarian Shepherd’s pie worth the road or plane trip.

“This bar is as cozy and intimate as could be; it has a worn-in, comfortable feel to it. There is a low stage in the back for all the musicians that come through playing bluegrass, country and rock. The Vegetarian Shepherd’s pie is spectacular, made of layers of perfectly seasoned lentils, mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese.”

Traditional shepherd’s pie usually contains ground beef or lamb.

Although The Family Wash serves items for meat eaters too, it definitely is a place to eat with mixed company, as there are other veggie friendly items on the menu like hummus and salad with quinoa.

Life and Style hears that Madonna is a fan of BabyCakes bakery.

The magazine recently featured an article, Cupcakes Stars Love, and listed the Material Girl as liking the vanilla cupcake with lemon frosting.

Wonder if Madonna requested bundles of these desserts to make her Sticky and Sweet tour even sweeter.

The Travel Channel recently featured veggie burgers in its Burger Paradise show.

According to the clip, the first official veggie burger was created in London in the 80s.

A southern California restaurant that only serves veggie burgers was featured.

“Vegetarians and vegans love their burgers just as much as meat-eaters. Packed with fresh vegetable, bean, rice and soy ingredients, each veggie patty is jam-packed with flavor. Established in 1977, The Spot has been a fixture in the Hermosa Beach community ever since. Who are the biggest customers? According to owner Tonya Beaudet, carnivores come in flocks to sample the veggie burger’s unique flavor.”

“The Spot” in Hermosa offers a twist to the traditional deep fried french fry side–a scoop of wholesome brown rice instead.
