Vegetarian Star

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.

Big Brother 11 has just started and the vegan in the bunch is already encountering resistance.

Yvette, the medical student who prefers her stripper-like name of Sunshine, immediately has realized there are no good vegan food options and requested a talk with Big Brother in the Diary Room, where all the contestants spill their hearts out over what they need to survive with the other weirdos in the house.

At first, Big Brother denied Sunshine from entering.

Was he/she not ready to listen to the list of soy milk, seaweed and tofu requests?

After some time, Sunshine finally talks to Big Brother to voice her concerns and she is even making updates to the grocery list to include items she can sustain on.

So far, so good. More updates to come.
