Dr. Neal Barnard

Dr. Neal Barnard

When Marilu Henner was asked who to Award the Veggie Guy Power label to, she answered:

“Dr. Neil Barnard for creating PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine). He’s great at getting the word out, and he looks so damn good doing it!”

PCRM is a network of doctors and other individuals who work to promote more ethical practices in medicine, research and health care.

They are for alternative methods of testing to animal research and advocate a vegetarian diet.

Dr. Barnard is the president of PCRM, has authored several books, contributed to academic journals and lay magazines and has been a proud veg since discovering the ribs in his med school cafeteria resembled the cadavers he worked on in the lab.

He’s also quite good looking.

Hmm…Maybe the PCRM could promote their mission better if their doctors did do nude veggie PSAs.

Alicia Silverstone Invents A Kinder Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors.

2009 Heart Of Green AwardsAlicia Silverstone recently spoke with Ecorazzi.com about vegetarianism and her new vegan diet book, The Kind Diet, coming out in the fall.

Alicia teamed up with members of the Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine to incorporate solid medical advice into the plan.

You have a new book coming out called The Kind Diet. Tell me about what we can expect to see in it?

Yes, I’m so excited! It really feels like the most artistic expression of myself because it’s everything I’ve wanted to say for a very long time. Every time I worked on it my heart just opened up.

It’s called The Kind Diet and it’s about being kind to yourself and the planet at the same time. It really breaks down Eastern philosophy versus Western philosophy in terms of health. I bring in all the doctors so you can understand the medical and scientific approach and know it’s not just some ditzy girl talking about this stuff.
