Vegetarian Star

Anderson Cooper featured a segment on his show about a TV anchor who could not get through a feature on an obese cat who swam for exercise without laughing.

Holly, a 13-year old cat, loves the outdoors and getting physical, but still has the problem of retaining a few extra pounds here and there. Her owner strapped a lifejacket on her and took her to the local indoor pool for a few laps.

“So unprofessional,” Cooper jokingly remarks. “That poor cat worked its tail off to lose one pound in six weeks. And the anchor can’t even keep it together to give that story that gravitas it deserves.”

Anderson Cooper invited actor Alan Cumming to his studios of Anderson Cooper Live to discuss New Year’s Resolutions and Cumming’s charities.

Cooper, Cumming and co-host Jill Martin enjoyed a plate of faux chicken tenders during the segment.

Cooper expressed that he would like to become a vegan, but thought the switch would be too hard as he’s used to eating the same dish (presumably meat dish) daily.

Jose Andres is not a breast man.

In fact, given the choice between a good chicken bosom and pineapple, he’d choose the fruit.

Anderson Cooper recently profiled Andres on 60 Minutes, where Andres revealed vegetables turn him on and meat is boring.

After all the erotic food talk, Cooper admitted even he was getting turned on.

“Come on, think about it for a second, okay?” Andres said. “Let’s compare a chicken breast, the best chicken breast from the best farm with a beautiful pineapple. Cut the pineapple, already the aromas are inundating the entire kitchen. Acidity. Sour after notes, touches of passion fruit.”

“Well, meat to me, it’s slightly boring. Hold on, I love meat too but only once in a while. You get a piece of meat and you put it in your mouth, you chew, the first five seconds, all the juices flow around your mouth, they’re gone, and then you are 20 more seconds chewing something that is tasteless at this point. Something like this doesn’t happen with a pineapple, an asparagus, or a green pea.”

Andres owns eight restaurants in the United States and is known for his exploration of molecular gastronomy, the physical and chemicals experiences that occur during cooking.
