The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone will have her own session at the New York City Wine and Food Festival this weekend and she’ll be demonstrating cooking vegan recipes from her upcoming vegan diet book, The Kind Diet.

If baketivism is the way to people’s hearts, then Alicia should bring along some of the desserts from her cookbook, like the ones she described for expressnightout.com.

“The peanut butter cups and chocolate fudge brownies are insane,” Silverstone said. “Vegan food doesn’t have to compromise on taste. I challenge cheese to a duel! I think any of my amazing dishes are better than a cheese plate any day.”

Alicia’s is offering her guarantee.

“Even just replacing your butter with Earth Balance spread or mayonnaise with Vegenaise will make a difference. I promise they taste exactly the same. Mail it to me if you don’t think so! OK, don’t really mail it to me, but it’s just as good, and so much better for you.”

So much chatter is going on about Alicia Silverstone‘s upcoming book, The Kind Diet, that some may have forgotten about another big project of hers debuting this year.

As we brought you the news earlier, Alicia has teamed up with EcoTools to create a line of eco-friendly cosmetic tools.

Besides being animal-free,  the materials are also made from recycled fibers.

Alicia took a moment to talk to Chloe Jo Berman of girliegirlarmy.com about animal and environmentally friendly cosmetics.

CHLOE JO: You are such a tireless activist for the animals and the environment, and a prime example of how living ethically makes you emanate glitter and beauty! We love that you totally get the power of offering luxurious and glamorous tools (whether it be food, fashion, or literature) to entice people into living a more cruelty-free and green lifestyle. What inspired you to make vegan brushes and make up bags specifically, rather than a shoe line or clothing line… or is that coming soon?

ALICIA SILVERSTONE: Regular make up brushes are often made with animal hair, and i promise the animals didn’t sit in a salon and get a little trim – you can be sure it was a painful horrid experience. Anywhoo, the other side of the coin is that synthetic brushes although way better option than animal hair, they are not awesome for the enviroment either, but still better. And actually the best option (if I do say so myself) is my eco tools, ’cause they are free of animal – but also using bamboo and recycled metal and the kindest synthetic hair for the planet possible to date that works great. So they are cruelty-free, but also the most enviromentally friendly option out there. And the bags are all made with hemp and veg inks and recylced plastics for the lining are as pretty and stylish as it gets, while still being green!

Alicia’s beauty tools hit Target and Wal-Mart this holiday season 2009.

The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone will be giving cooking demonstrations at the 2009 New York City Wine and Food Festival this Saturday October 10 between 9:00 AM and 9:45 AM.

Alicia will be using recipes from her upcoming vegan diet and fitness book, The Kind Diet.

Tickets to Alicia’s demo are $35 and can be purchased online.

Yes, 9:00 AM on a Saturday may be asking a bit much for those weekend late sleepers.

But for cooking lesson from Alicia, it’s worth downing a morning Espresso and taking a cold shower to help you wake up.

“If environmentalists who are meat eaters were given the whole truth about how many of our resources are wasted on meat production, they’d be horrified. To create one 16-ounce steak it takes six months worth of showering water. I don’t see how an organic farmer uses less water. And what about the methane? Just because you’re raising an organic cow doesn’t mean it doesn’t fart.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, in an interview with Ecostiletto.com, on the impact meat eating has on the environment and the gasses given off by cows in the pastures.

There you have it. Everybody farts. Even the cows. There’s no reason to be ashamed anymore.

The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone is launching a brand new website, thekindlife.com, which will offer all her advice for all products green and vegan.

Kind of like Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop.com without the Thanksgiving turkey hints.

The site is pretty much bare bones now, but will get busy on October 13, the same day Silverstone’s book, The Kind Diet, is set for release.

From EcoStiletto.com:

“I created a website called TheKindLife.com to get people hooked on all my groovy latest finds—that will happen around the time of the book. I love Tammy Fender and Suki—those are my favorite skin care lines. Josie Maran lip gloss and eyeshadows [link]. Kiss My Face and Giovanni for shampoo. Desert Essence for conditioner—it smells so yummy! And Pharmacopia moisturizer. It’s all organic, except for a teeny bit of parabens. That’s my one naughty treat. I buy it like once a year. It’s smells so yummy! We have to all write to them so they’ll take the parabens out.”

We’ll be bookmarking this one for sure!

Much veggie ado is taking place on Jane Velez-Mitchell‘s Facebook.

A fan recently asked Jane, a vegan, if she was thinking of bringing her dogs over to that side, too.

“Hey Jane, I was just wondering, since you own Chihuahuas and your a vegetarian, do you have your dogs eating “meat-free” dog food? There are such products for dogs and cats of owners that are vegans, but dogs and cats are naturally meat eaters, so I think its bad to their health to restrict meat from their diet. What do you think?”

A vegetarian Chihuahua?

Yo quiero comida sin carne!

Lots of pet owners, including celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Shahid Kapoor, and Paul McCartney, have put their dogs and cats on vegetarian diets, with special attention being paid to cats since it’s essential to have food that contains taurine, found mainly in chicken.

But vegan dog and cat food exists.

Have you made your pet go veg?

Did Whiskers enjoy the new meatless dish or did he develop a Goode Family dog Che syndrome?
