Vegetarian Star

Jillian Michaels has written an editorial on how America can help those in poverty by making reforms to the food stamp program. You’ve already witnessed how purchasing vegan items on the grocery list might be one benefit to recipients as it may help dollars stretch.

Now Michaels is proposing changes to the program that insist those dollars be spent on more wholesome food. As usual, these types of opinions tread the fine line between Big Brother taking care of the unfortunate and destroying their freedom of choice. And unless the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP designs an overhaul that both encourages and makes it feasible to eat well on a vegetarian or vegan diet, all the banning of sodas and chips won’t do much for the country’s poor.

But Michaels makes some good points.

Jillian Michaels would like to put America’s budget on a diet.

The former Biggest Loser coach has joined the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine in an attempt to convince Congress to reduce funds that help subsidize less healthy food and the producers of those products.

In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Michaels wrote, “Cutting subsidies for unhealthful foods would trim the nation’s budget—and Americans’ waistlines.”

“Some of our government’s current policies and programs actually promote obesity and other diseases by supporting the production and consumption of the very foods that contribute to… health problems.”

Jillian Michaels is gracing the cover of the May 2011 issue of Shape magazine.

The pescatarian who’s leaving The Biggest Loser after this season to work on promoting organic farming told the magazine she rates the foods she eats on a scale from 1-10. Some foods are junk foods, but they’re moderately rated junk foods, so she lets herself cheat with them.

Of course, a little vegan junk food here and there couldn’t be that harmful.

A behind the scenes interview with Jillian Michaels as she films an ad for So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage’s “Change Your Milk. Change Your Life,” campaign.

Michaels will be representing the vegan beverage, with the campaign to launch next year.

Michaels discovered the beverage while looking for non-dairy, milk alternatives in the grocery store and was impressed by the drink’s nutritional benefits, as well as the company’s ethics.

“I read the label, I scrutinized it from top to bottom and I compared it to every single thing on the shelf from dairy to non-dairy products. What I particularly loved were all the health benefits. No pesticides. The coconuts are no genetically modified in any way. In addition, there’s Vitamin D, there’s calcium, there’s medium chain fatty acids, which are great for your heart health, its low in calories…”

Is this why some of calling coconut the new soy?
