Vegetarian Star

Kathy Freston, author of vegan diet and health book The Lean, appeared on HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss how adopting a vegan lifestyle can help combat obesity, a disease one researcher has predicted will affect 32 more million people within two decades.

Although there’s no one cure for the disease, Freston suggests something as simple as an apple a day may keep the pounds away.

Of course, it helps if you eat it versus only balancing it on your head as Velez-Mitchell does in the segment.

Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his role as John in The Green Mile and currently Leo Knox on the Fox television series The Finder, has recorded a PSA for vegetarianism for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Duncan was plagued with several health problems before going vegetarian and recalls it was a birthday approximately three years ago that prompted him to change. That change included switching to plant-based proteins like beans and tofu and giving away all his Omaha steaks, fish and chicken entrees to the neighbors.

We hope he tries to give them samples of seitan every now and then too.

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.'”

Bill Clinton appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he revealed what he felt were some of his greatest accomplishments, such as the William J. Clinton Foundation’s push to provide medication to children in impoverished countries.

Clinton’s greatest personal health accomplishment is adopting a vegan diet after learning it could help him reverse some of the damage heart disease has caused.

It’s also helped him look a little sleeker in his swim trunks.

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

Clinton can be seen discussing his foundation’s accomplishment’s below.

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.
