If you’re a Texan, what character of the state do you most associated yourself with?

Probably not the steakhouses, but that’s okay, because you’re in good company, as Lauren Bush says being Texan may have more to do with what you put on your body and not in it.

“I love jeans and denim — I think that’s probably my most stereotypically Texan trait,” the co-founder of FEED Projects, a non-profit designed to help fund UN programs for hunger around the world.

If you’re a true greenie, you’ll want to grab a pair of organic denim jeans, since it takes almost 2/3 of a pound of pesticide to produce one pair of conventional ones. Everything should be bigger in Texas, but not the carbon footprint!

So where does Lauren eat in Houston to avoid the steakhouses?

Kristen Bell "Shape" Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of the September 2010 issue of Shape.

The magazine interviewed the vegetarian actress who gave her 30 rules to live by that include growing her own organic herbs and vegetables, using eco-friendly handbags and avoiding dairy with the occasional “cheat.”

Tip 24 is to “splurge wisely,” and for Bell, that means spending her money on sustainable fashion for a good cause.

“I don’t mind paying a bit more for things made with sustainable materials,” Bell said. “I love FEED bags by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush [from $60; feedprojects.com]. They’re eco-friendly, and most of the proceeds go to feeding and educating children around the world.”

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.
