Vegetarian Star

Between polluted waters, over-fishing, and being completely anti-animal welfare, eating real tuna is a completely fishy thing to do even if it doesn’t smell.

Kathy Freston has been a champ at making ordinary, old-fashioned comfort foods from faux meats and plant-based proteins.

Meredith Vieira and several other celebrities’ New Year’s resolutions are posted at Vegan Resolutions.

Vieira would like to give up dairy–at least in her morning cup of joe.

“I vow to use almond milk instead of milk in my coffee,” the journalist and NBC correspondent said.

That’s quite an upgrade from her old breakfasts of “cigarettes and cola,” as she explained on Today.

“When I was a smoker, I started every day with a Tab and a cigarette,” Vieira said.

Kathy Freston has a two-part interview series with NPR on veganism, farming and healthier eating.

In part one of her chat with host Renee Montagne, Freston explains how she easily makes vegan versions of the favorite foods she grew up eating.

‘I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it,’ Freston said. ‘I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it’s the thing that makes us feel good and connected. So I wouldn’t want to eat in any way that made me feel like I was missing out on something.”

Kathy Freston has shared some research on how a vegan diet may prevent and increase one’s odds of recovering from cancer at the Huffington Post.

Citing several studies discussing rates of cancer among plant-based eaters vs. omnivores and factors involved in cancer growths, Freston concludes that, “We aren’t helpless at all; in fact, the power is largely in our hands. It’s on our forks, actually.”

Kathy Freston is featured in the October issue of Tails Inc., a magazine devoted to all things pet-friendly for pet owners.

All pet owners and anyone who loves animals should be attempting to go vegetarian or vegan, or at least reduce their intake of animal products.

Farmed animals like pigs, chickens and cows are just as smart, loving and compassionate as your own pet. And unhealthy byproducts of the meat industry often end up as pet food, a practice potentially both dangerous and unhealthy.

“I had a little Chihuahua who I was in love with,” Freston explained about one of her motivating factors to go vegan. “She was lying on her back, and I was rubbing her belly. She had a smile on her face, and I could tell how happy she was. I was thinking to myself how much I loved animals. Then a little voice inside my head said, “If you love animals so much, why are you eating them?”

Kathy Freston understands that part of the obstacle to going vegan is finding the money to do so!

But who can get motivated to go veg when every meal is beans and rice?

Enter Freston’s recommendations for budget-friendly vegan eating, such as this Almost-Instant Chickpea Tomato Soup.

“Just because you’re a vegan doesn’t mean you don’t want to have fun. I’m a decadent gal. I want to drink. I want to feel full at the end of a meal. I just don’t want it to have any animals in it, for a variety of reasons.”

“This movement away from eating animals and toward plant-based foods is on fire. It’s building momentum by the day. This is a profound shift, and I believe that the culture is embracing the ‘V’ word. Whereas before, it used to refer to hippies and a radical grass-roots movement. Now it’s hip.”

—Kathy Freston, best-selling author of several books on the vegan lifestyle, including her latest, The Lean.
