Quantcast Vegetarian StarJoy Behar

The ad sponsored by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine linking McDonald’s to heart disease by showing a dead man in a morgue with a hamburger in his hand has sparked a lot of discussion, particularly among those that may not feel vegetarianism is necessary for health or that the fast food giant alone isn’t responsible for the mass epidemic of health problems.

So says Rachael Ray, who recently chimed in her thoughts to Joy Behar on HLN. Ray has confidence that many people would walk right past the golden arches if they only had enough change in their pockets to purchase healthier options. Therefore, it’s not about just wiping McDonald’s off the planet, but giving people the resources to choose better.

“It’s our problem as a country to make good food more affordable and more accessible to everyone,” Ray tells Behar.

Hear the rest of Ray’s thoughts and her suggestions for taking strides for better health in the video of the interview below.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Videos.

Rachael Ray spoke with Joy Behar about the lack of access to quality food on The Joy Behar Show on HLN.

Ray explained how she’s trying to get more kids educated about growing their own food and starting community and school gardens.

“It not only makes them healthier, it keeps them more alert in school. You end up with brighter, more well balanced graduates,” Ray said.

She also gave KFC’s new Double Down sandwich, an artery clogging, factory farmed meat of a meal with two fillets of chicken, two pieces of bacon and two slices of Monterrey Jack and Pepper Jack cheese, the thumbs down, calling it the “double bypass.”

“I just don’t see a need for it,” Ray says. “It’s like handing people a gun.”

For those interested in the animal-free version of the Double Down, it has been created, featuring Gardein faux chicken breasts, Lightlife Smart Bacon and Follow Your Heart vegan cheese.

“I do cover that in the book,” Silverstone says, which she describes as “the nasty foods” like processed sugar, meat and dairy.
