Sophia Bush

Sophia Bush has shared some of her favorite foods with Shape magazine.

Although she usually aims for foods with high nutritional content, occasionally she’ll indulge with her favorite ice cream.

“It’s all about balance — it is important to maintain a healthy diet of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, but it’s also important to enjoy yourself once in a while, and sometimes that means letting yourself give in to your cravings, whatever they may be,” Sophia said.

Caldwell Esselstyn

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn‘s name is synonomous with several things, depending on who you’re speaking with. He was a successful Olympic rower who helped his team take home a gold medal in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. He’s the author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease where he wrote about how he helped his own patients reverse atherosclerosis by following a vegan diet. Bill Clinton‘s medical advisor, father of a Texas firefighter who turned his house vegan on the job and now, Esselstyn can be officially known as lover of all unsweetened almond milk and rolled oats.

In a Q & A with Philadelphia Magazine’s Be Well Philly, Esselstyn told readers whether he prefers tofu or tempeh, kale or collards and all things a vegetarian foodie loves to read about.

Although he’d choose tofu over tempeh, he has a problem with the fat content of many soy products.

“The problem with tofu and all those soy products is that they are about 40% fat. If anything, I prefer a very, very light silken tofu occasionally.”

So Esselstyn definitely has a clear preference for vegan protein, but some of his answers sound as if he’s playing food politician and rooting for both sides.
