Vegetarian Star

Kathy Freston, author of vegan diet and health book The Lean, appeared on HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss how adopting a vegan lifestyle can help combat obesity, a disease one researcher has predicted will affect 32 more million people within two decades.

Although there’s no one cure for the disease, Freston suggests something as simple as an apple a day may keep the pounds away.

Of course, it helps if you eat it versus only balancing it on your head as Velez-Mitchell does in the segment.

Chef Tim Love has anything but love for the vegetarian diet. Hoping to silence the veggie hoopla, he hopped onto CNN’s 5@5 to list the reasons why he thought cream of broccoli can’t compete with chicken fried steak. However, Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell jumped into the ring and fired back with five punches of her own as to why veg is the only way to go.

When Love said:

“Eating vegetarian may seem like the healthier option (and, probably, often is), but when it comes down to it, meat, in moderation, provides much needed protein, iron and amino acids. As long as you don’t go overboard and eat one of those 15-pound burgers you see on TV, you should be fine.”

Jane said:

“If huge amounts of protein were the key to perfect health, America would be the healthiest nation on earth because we eat a lot more meat than people in most other countries. But, we’re not the healthiest. Two thirds of us are overweight or obese and the crisis is accelerating. The drumbeat of protein is a selling tool – pure and simple – and we’ve all bought into it. Americans are getting more protein than they need.”

Jane Velez-Mitchell’s got a new book coming out in October.

iWant is all about her journey to recovering from iwanting too much and that desire leading to overeating, smoking, excessive drinking, and excessive consumption.

Jane is no stranger to sharing her vegan beliefs in her work on Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell on CNN’s Headline News, and iWant includes a chapter titled, “Veganism/Animal Activism: I Want to Make a Difference.”

Making a difference means making thoughtful purchase choices that will ultimately affect everything surrounding us from the planet to our health to the economy.

According to heeb’n’vegan, Jane writes these choices are sometimes so overwhelming, she has to pray about it.

“Every morsel of food I put into my mouth is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. Every household product I buy is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. I always try to think before I choose. Sometimes, when I’m in a quandary, I pray before I choose.”

Making good choices about our purchases isn’t as easy as looking at the bottom line. Organic or local? Vegan company or mainstream business offering a line of vegan products? Trade Fair trade for your favorite brand?

How do you make the tough purchase decisions in your life? What rules do you follow?
