Vegetarian Star

Howard Stern is the perfect candidate for your next vegan.

He’s married to animal welfare activist and author of a book about caring for dogs, Beth. He’s got a co-host, Robin Quivers, who’s been vegan for half a decade and showed the world how it’s a great path to a trimmer waistline by losing 60 pounds from following the diet.

But, really, how does Stern feel about a diet of seitan and soybeans?

“I need to get involved eventually in this vegan shit, like Robin, cuz this is killing me,” he said on a recent show.

"Oh My Dog" Beth Ostrosky Stern

Beth Ostrosky Stern‘s new book on choosing and caring for a dog, Oh My Dog,  may appear to have a mixed message about animal welfare.

The wife of Howard Stern who has been both a volunteer at animal shelters and a North Shore Animal League America spokesperson, wrote that although her family had always taken in rescue pets from shelters, for some reason, she and Howard were set on finding a breed-an English Bulldog.

When she arrived at the breeder, she fell in love with a Bulldog that was a former show dog, but developed a wiggle and was of “no use” anymore in her former profession.

The dog went home with Beth and was named Bianca Romijn-Stamos-Ostrosky-Stern.

While adopting a shelter dog is the best way to reduce the millions of animals euthanized every year, like Beth’s story, some adoptions of breeds can prove just as beneficial, especially if the breed was “rescued” from a dangerous or unhealthy situation.

Like a bred dog suffering from the genetic mutation of missing or disabled limbs due to generations of inbreeding.

Retired racing greyhounds are another example of taking in a breed otherwise likely to be euthanized or abandoned.

Robin Quivers attended the launch party of Alicia Silverstone‘s book, The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet.

We’re sure Robin thoroughly enjoyed her vegan food at Candle 79, where the launch party took place.

If you remember us showing you the before and after pictures, Howard Stern‘s sidekick went vegan and lost 70 pounds!

Looking good Robin.

Keep up the great work!

The Kind Diet is set for release October 13.
