Quantcast Vegetarian Star“Salt”

CEO'S Partner To Launch Of Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation

PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi is vegetarian.

So is the fact that she runs a company known for its sugar high and salty good times an oxymoron?

Nooyi told CNN’s Money that ultimately consumers have the responsibility to know when enough is enough and if they all exercised, obesity wouldn’t exist.

“If I look at our portfolio, I think you can classify them into three groups: “fun-for-you foods” like Pepsi, Doritos, Lays, and Mountain Dew, “better-for-you” products like Diet Pepsi, PepsiMax, Baked Lays, Sobi Life Water, Propel, all of these products, and “good-for-you” products like Quaker, Tropicana, Naked Juice, Gatorade,” Nooyi said.

So guess the idea is lay off the fun-for-you foods and devour the good-for-you ones.

Now, if only the vending machines would stock more oatmeal and Naked Juice.

Still, you have to give PepsiCo credit for making a huge change to its products seven years ago without adding the costs to consumers when it banned all trans fat.

Maybe in a few years we’ll see sodas sweetened with the less addictive cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Angelina Jolie Looks Synchill-tillating On Salt Set

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.

Angelina Jolie filming in New York City

Angelina Jolie is looking awfully furry these days.

She wore this fur-lined poncho and matching Russian style winter fur hat while filming on the set of her new spy thriller movie, Salt.

But while this looks like chinchilla, it’s actually a fake, or “synchilla.”

Jolie’s reps confirmed to PETA that Jolie only wears her own skin and that hat and coat are both synthetic.

“The chinchilla is actually synchilla,” PETA blogged.

Hats off (or maybe on, in this case) to Angelina for keeping it faux real!
