Biz Stone and his business partner and co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, are celebrating five years of saying it in 140 characters.

Stone was recently a guest on Conan O’Brien‘s show when the subject of some of Stone’s past Tweets came up. One of those Tweets was about Stone discovering Amtrak  offered a vegan burger. Stone Tweeted,”Wow, Amtrak serves a vegan burger! Nice.”

“I would not have that burger,” Conan said while laughing.

Well, that’s surely his choice, but we think Conan will miss out on some serious foodie fun!

We don’t have any doubts why United and not Continental has the slogan “Fly The Friendly Skies.” There was nothing friendly about the event that took place on a Newark bound flight when a woman did not receive a vegetarian meal she found suitable.

Maybe Continental should make its slogan, “If it has a face, throw it in our face.”

Kate Nash has some quirks, like her OCD, which made her go vegetarian. But for a gal with anxiety, amazingly, it’s not being thousands of feet above ground the makes her nervous. It’s the food she might encounter on the flight.

“I’m not scared of crashing or turbulence,” Nash told the Columbus Dispatch. “I hate the food, so I always make a packed lunch”

The holidays are moments away and if you prefer the friendly skies to get over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s, you should know the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has researched and found the best airports for healthy vegan and vegetarian food. If flying out of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, you’ll have it made. Taking off or landing in Las Vegas or Washington, D.C, however, may be a problem.

"The Tofu Tollbooth"

Dar Williams is a singer-songwriter who collaborated with Elizabeth Zipern to create a one stop book filled with dining suggestions for the vegetarian traveler, The Tofu Tollbooth. The concept is great, plus the book stays true to being environmentally friendly as it’s printed with soy ink on recyclable paper.

“It’s a directory of natural food stores,” Williams told Windy City Times. “So, that’s the link; because I’m a traveler. And, actually, I’m a terrible cook. I mean, a really bad cook. So, it would be kind of funny if people ( laughs ) thought it was a cookbook. They probably imagine me in an Indian print skirt over a pot of lentils. I am so the grab-and-go kind of bad eater.”

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.

Jillian Michaels has given USA Today readers some advice on eating healthy on the go.

“Order the vegan meal on the plane because it’s usually cleaner than all the other foods. Bring snacks with you when you’re on the road — things you can grab and go — whether it’s a healthy protein bar or dry-roasted nuts.”

Most major airlines, like Continental, United and American offer vegetarian and vegan meals for passengers, but it’s always best to contact the company in advance. In fact, American Airlines suggests you order at least 24 hours ahead of your flight for their items like penne pasta with artichokes or triple pepper bean medley.
