Vegetarian Star

Cee Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley may soon be singing, “I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost that nasty habit of eating meat.”

Green told The Sun he’s looking to get in shape for the New Year and feels going vegetarian might help him achieve his goals.

“I think I’m gonna stop eating meat. Eating is probably my only vice. I love great food and I love to eat. So I’d like to see myself committed to that correction. I feel like that is the missing link. If I could get that one vice under control, there’s no telling what I could accomplish.”

Super Meat Boy

Edmund McMillen, one of the two men behind Super Meat Boy, has taken to the game’s official blog to discuss the feud between it and PETA. The animal rights group created a spin-off to Super Meat Boy, Super Tofu Boy, which replaces the bloody meat character with a block of tofu.

But Super Meat Boy isn’t a piece of meat, insists McMillen. Some other surprises–this super meat creator used to be a vegetarian.

“Meat Boy isn’t made of animal meat, he’s simply a boy without skin whose name is Meat Boy.”

“Now don’t get me wrong, i have NOTHING against Vegans or Vegetarians. I was Vegetarian for many years, and was an animal control officer who saved animals for a living for a long time, i empathize, understand and accept why people choose to eat, and live as they wish, and obviously i believe everyone should have the freedom to express themselves in anyway as long as it doesn’t hurt others.”

McMillen’s “beef” with PETA is what he believes is its stance on animal testing.

Kate Nash has some quirks, like her OCD, which made her go vegetarian. But for a gal with anxiety, amazingly, it’s not being thousands of feet above ground the makes her nervous. It’s the food she might encounter on the flight.

“I’m not scared of crashing or turbulence,” Nash told the Columbus Dispatch. “I hate the food, so I always make a packed lunch”

The holidays are moments away and if you prefer the friendly skies to get over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s, you should know the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has researched and found the best airports for healthy vegan and vegetarian food. If flying out of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, you’ll have it made. Taking off or landing in Las Vegas or Washington, D.C, however, may be a problem.

This weekend at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala, Pamela Anderson revealed she thinks eating vegan has helped her symptoms of Hepatitis C, a disease she contracted in 2002.

“I have Hepatitis C and I feel great, which I think has a lot to do with my diet,” Anderson said. “I feel better, I always feel healthy, but I feel better.”

A vegetarian diet has been shown to ease several ailments of the liver, including the final stages of liver failure, but one study found a diet in vegetable proteins helped with a condition known as Hepatic Encephalopathy, sometimes a complication of Hepatitis C that is marked by changes in mental processes like brain fogginess, confusion and forgetfulness.

Published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences, the study found that a “vegetable-protein diet resulted in overall clinical improvement, decreased hepatic encephalopathy index scores, decreased arterial ammonia levels, improved performance on intellectual tasks, and in one case, markedly improved protein tolerance.”

“By the way, that’s not an ad for McDonald’s in case you missed that. The hamburger in a dead man’s hand. Yes, hamburgers kill. I just thought the Hamburglar stole stuff. He steals your life.”

—Glenn Beck, during a recent segment of his talk show on the new ad created by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine that’s airing in the Washington, D.C. area linking McDonald’s to heart disease. Not that Beck is championing the ad, of course. He later goes on to sarcastically suggest that people will automatically start running to carrots and suggests that although the ad is a “nudge” to encourage people to eat healthier, future initiatives could include punishment and jail time.

The old saying that “I’d like to die with,” inserting favorite vice is illustrated in a new Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine commercial that airs in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, September 16th, 2010. The group is targeting McDonald’s restaurants, saying the fast food giant is responsible for the poor health of so many Americans living in the nation’s capital.

The commercial shows a man lying in the morgue with a half-eaten burger in his hand. After a few seconds of a grieving loved one hovering over him, the commercial closes with McDonald’s signature golden arches tracing over his feet with the words, “I was Lovin’ It.” The voiceover then says, “High cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian.”

The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook

Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), along with Robyn Webb, has co-authored a cookbook filled with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts without any animal products whatsoever.

Blog Critics reports Dr. Barnard and Webb use of a lot of curry, an Indian spice, in the 125 recipes that are not heavy on manufactured protein like texturized vegetable protein. Nor will you find mundane ideas for a meal like granola. Try green chile and oyster mushroom crepes for breakfast instead.

The PCRM recommends a vegetarian diet for good health. May the Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook get on every patient’s prescription list, as a vegetarian diet is one of the best ways to fight diseases like diabetes and heart disease that dominate, complicate and burden health care.
