Vegetarian Star

The sole vegan face of Big Brother, Sunshine Martyn, was recently given the boot from the house.

Too bad, as she served as a great lesson in the joys and pitfalls the lifestyle can bring, such as when she broke the stereotype by revealing she hated tofu and found it difficult at first to get the items she wanted to eat.

Of course, her carnivorous housemates discussed how easier it would be to shop for food with her departure, hinting it may have been a reason for her eviction.

Sunshine thought her exit was because she refused to share her stash of vegan items with her hungry house mates.

“Because I didn’t share my crisps until the day after,” she said.

That’s right, Sunshine. They were just hungry and jealous. Mmm…what flavor were those crisps again?

Sunshine Martyn revealed on an episode of Big Brother she is not of fan of soybean curd.

After being given tofu, hummus and some other items to suit her vegan diet while her housemates received pizza, she requested a pizza without cheese.

“It’s just that I hate that tofu, it’s horrible. I just didn’t feel part of it because they give me food that needs cooking and they give you pizza. Everything’s getting on top of me and I thought that I’d get a nice piece of food, and then I get a salad.”

Tofu haters who aim to be vegetarian, need not be alarmed. Contrary to the stereotype, vegetarians and vegans get their protein from many sources other than what some think looks and tastes like a make-up sponge.

Lentils, beans, legumes, chickpeas, pasta, seitan, tempeh, nut butters, trail mix, oatmeal, rice, cereals, granola, soy milk, falafel, faux meats…Need more suggstions?

Big Brother‘s vegan housemate Yvette Martyn has a real big brother looking after her.

Gwyn Martyn, a stockbroker, is confident his little sister will get along just fine, despite her dietary restrictions.

“They often have small budgets for food and people don’t often like making separate dishes for vegetarians,” he said, “but she is happy eating pasta, so hopefully she will be okay.”

Pasta’s not the refined starch carbohydrate monster it was labeled by the anti-veggie villains like proponents of low carb and high meat diets. Enriched grain pasta is not only low in sodium, it’s a great source of protein for vegetarians and provides a fantastic energy boost with its complex carbohydrates that are released slowly over time.
