Maureen McCormick–Marcia Brady Likes Beans And Rice

Maureen McCormick may like beans and rice as much as she liked kissing Gary Williams, otherwise known as Greg Brady, from the 70s series they starred in, The Brady Bunch.

“I had a mad crush on Barry at the time,” McCormick said, according to Palm Beach Post. “He’s single now, by the way.”

McCormick said she’s a vegetarian, and eating lots of the two foods together is how she gets her protein.

Interesting…

Two years ago, PETA sent McCormick a letter asking her to go vegetarian, insisting the diet would help her maintain her trim figure she obtained from Celebrity Fit Club.

Bet the animal rights group is smug knowing they can claim her as a victory.

Traditionally, kidney or black beans first come to mind when a dinner for beans and rice is suggested, but that shouldn’t stop you from exploring other legumes.

If you like hummus, you might love chickpeas, as the garbanzo bean is what’s mashed up and blended with spices to create the dip accompanied with pita chips.

If you’ve ever eaten an Asian meal with red bean paste, you’ve probably tasted the azuki bean, the tiny reddish brown bean grown in Asia and the Himalayans, that taste incredible over a salad as well.

Maybe McCormick will talk about her bean experiences in the follow up to her 2008 book she’s writing.

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia: Try Tofu, Tofu, Tofu!

It’s been awhile since Maureen McCormick had a chance to run around and bug Greg Brady on the set of the late 60s and 70s show, “The Brady Bunch.” Consequently, with no Greg, Peter, or Bobby, or even Jan and Cindy to bother, “Marcia,” has been a little sedentary and put on a few pounds.

To regain her youthful Hollywood figure, she signed up for the Vh1 series Celebrity Fit Club to help shed a few pounds. She competed and won, but still feels work needs to be done. The folks at Peta think they can help. They’ve sent her a vegetarian starter kit, and told her the best way to slim down is to go vegan. An excerpt from the letter:

“Not only will a vegan diet help you slim down, it will also help you fight an array of ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and certain types of cancer. Going vegan is also the easiest thing that you can do save the environment and spare the lives of thousands of animals who are slaughtered for food each year. It’s never too late to turn over a new leaf…”

It would be incredible to have Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, go vegan, vegan, vegan, and come out as the next veg celeb. Of course, Peta’s got a stake in this too. From Celebrity Fit Club to Celebrity Strip (for Peta ads) Club, we’re sure they’re hoping she’ll sign up for a membership.
