Vegetarian Star

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.

Vegetarian Lauren Bush has recently launched another set of bags in her FEED Projects series, the FEED Guatemala bags, to help the United National Children’s Fund, UNICEF.

The “FEED Guatemala 1” and “FEED Guatemala 3” bags will provide daily nutrient powder for 1 or 3 children, respectively, in Guatemala for one year.

According to the Lord and Taylor website featuring the items, nearly 23% of children over three months and under 5 years suffer from some kind of malnutrition and almost half of children suffered from chronic malnutrition in 2006.

If the world refrained from eating meat, or at least ate less meat, that number could be a lot lower.

Tom Colicchio is working on a new cookbook that is set to be released in 2011 through Artisan books.

According to Artisan’s executive director of publicity, Amy Corley, Colicchio’s new book will be, “very different from anything he’s ever done.”

Might Top Chef fans may be in for less meat and more potatoes?

During a recent benefit for The Hungry in America Project hosted by FEED Projects and the Feed Foundation, Colicchio and Natalie Portman paused for a moment to chat with The Stylist.

Portman expressed excitement about one of Colicchio’s vegetarian recipes.

“He does a delicious potato flatbread pizza,” she said.

Colicchio’s new cookbook will not only offer recipes and techniques, but also Tom’s “philosophies and beliefs” about cooking food.
