Carrie Underwood hasn’t convinced husband and NHL player Mike Fisher to go veg yet, but she’s managed to score a few goals at the dinner table.

“He’s all right. He’s actually getting better,” Underwood revealed during his visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I’ll offer to make him something I’m making myself and he’ll say ‘sure’.”

Robin Meade, host of HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade, and Dr. Oz sat down to discuss how to go vegetarian the right way.

The right way isn’t substituting cheese sandwiches three times a day for burgers. And it’s not always about the veggies.

Dr. Oz suggests watching carbohydrates and incorporating lean, plant-based protein.

“I don’t want you to become a carbotarian,” Oz says.

Jamie Kilstein is a vegan comedian who’s been a guest on SIRIUS radio, Conan and co-hosts the Internet political radio show, Citizen Radio.

Describing himself as a former “fat fast food eating piece of shit” who would have eaten “baby fingers in Mcnugget form” if it had been cooked for him, Kilstein incorporates his vegan beliefs both in his comedy routines and his political discussions.

Speaking of political discussion, Kilstein has a great response to the “God made animals for us to eat” argument.

“I’ve helped old people cross the street. You wouldn’t be like, ‘God created buses for a reason.’ Or, ‘That baby’s choking!’ ‘God created marbles for a reason.’ . . . ‘That couple’s being evicted from their home.’ ‘God created Bank of America for a reason.’”

“This is the third week in a row where I will weigh less than I did when I finished high school,” Clinton said.

Alicia Silverstone makes a debut on ABC’s Suburgatory tonight that seems a little type-casted.

But what vegan wouldn’t mind the honor of being, as Seattle Pi writes, the “farm-raised lass from Montana who instantly has George eating the crunchy, non-processed granola out of the palm of her hand.”

Silverstone’s character Eden meets George at the local Farmer’s Market and things get so steamy we don’t want to know what they do with those fruits and vegetables.

“So often, I think that the stories that are told are from young, privileged white kids. Part of my goal is to shed light on other communities that haven’t had much of a voice. To just say that fixing food is going to help resolve issues in these communities — it’s not looking at the bigger picture. If we do have access to healthful foods, that would address a lot of other issues.”

–Bryant Terry, during an interview promoting his latest cookbook, The Inspired Vegan. With evocative chapter titles such as “Freedom Fare,” “Detroit Harvest,” and “Winter in Hong Kong,” The Inspired Vegan is a collection of Terry’s cooking instructions for his favorite fruits, vegetables and grains combined with stories that highlight issues of food justice.

Below is a clip of Terry reading a passage from The Inspired Vegan, “Farm Fresh,” a chapter dedicated to those working hard to keep our food supply stable, despite financial, weather or political setbacks. “Farm Fresh” contains mouthwatering recipes such as Coconut Quinoa and Smokey Tomatoes, Roasted Plaintains and Crumbled Tempeh, so the video is definitely worth taking a listen to–before heading out tonight to purchase the book.
