“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.

What do you get when you combine Borat‘s Sasha Baron Cohen as a Middle Eastern dictator with a vegan, co-op grocery store owner?

One would hope a completely organic produce section where anything genetically modified would be zapped by super military powers.

But in the case of a new film titled The Dictator, you only get actress Anna Faris as the “ultra-liberal vegan grocery store owner who inadvertently rescues a Saddam Hussein-esque tyrant”

Plus, a few good jokes about educated women looking like monkeys on roller skates.

Daniel Bryan is featured here is a short video where he credits his success in wrestling to “living a clean, vegan lifestyle.”

Some haters like to yell, “Bacon, bacon, bacon,” when he enters the ring and there’s a brief scene when he gets booed after announcing he’s a vegan to a wrestling crowd, but there’s no greater revenge that letting them watch him slam an opponent to the ground with no mercy.

That’s what tofu, rice and an occasional vegan cupcake can do for you.
