Vegetarian Star

Bethenny Frankel hooked up with Ellen DeGeneres on her show to demonstrate making vegan cupcakes with vegan cream cheese frosting.

“I always try to do the vegan thing first because it is healthier,” Frankel says. “And you feel good about yourself.”

Frankel feels a little better about herself for shunning refined sugars and flours as well. Instead of white flour and white sugar, Bethenny opts for raw sugar and oat flour.

“It’s not a racist thing,” Frankel jokes. “Go against white–when baking.”

Not to mention many white sugars aren’t technically vegan, as these are often processed with animal bone char. Other Frankel suggestions include making your cupcake portion sizes like A cup breasts versus D cups. You’ll have to watch the clip for that full explanation.

Why is it a good idea to stay away from white when eating? Dr. Michael Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic, explains.

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” recently got superveganized as Russell Simmons joined the vegan host with his assistants who starred alongside him in the Oxygen reality TV show, “Running Russell Simmons.”

Russell did briefly discuss his new book, Super Rich, but he wasn’t there to only talk about himself. Russell credited several scenes in “Running” showing assistant Simone Reyes discussing vegan and animal rights issues for increasing her popularity among veg and AR communities and the cameras gave her a few seconds of tube time.

In case you missed it, you can get the lowdown on how Simone got involved with veganism in our exclusive interview with her.

Emily Deschanel was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to celebrate Bones 100th episode, which will air tonight on Fox at 8/7C.

To celebrate the big centennial, the cast was served a half Styrofoam, half real cake, which the vegan for 17 years Deschanel had to pass on and opt for cupcakes instead.

“I watched a documentary called “Diet For A New America,” Deschanel said, when Ellen DeGeneres asked her what made her go vegan.

Attending a progressive school, the film, which is based on the book with the same title by John Robbins, was part of the curriculum.

Sounds like some taxpaying parents got their money’s worth in education!

Jonathan Safran Foer spoke with Ellen DeGenres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he created the scenario of whether or not people agree it’s okay to eat meat.

Foer said that while most people say yes, the answer may change when you consider the consequences of modern day factory farming like reduced antibiotic efficiency, environmental damage and pregnant animals living unnatural lives confined in cages.

“Nobody wants that,” Foer said. “I don’t care how much or how little you care about animals.”

Ellen DeGeneres‘ right hand vegan food man, Roberto Martin, demonstrated how to make vegan chili and nachos on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The recipe, which can be found here, uses lean Mexican flavored soy crumbles and vegan cheese for sprinkling, plus homemade nacho cheese.

The vegan chili sounds delish, but something sounds weird about the homemade nacho cheese, which is mainly made up of tofu and vegan mayonnaise…what the heck did chef Martin do with the nutritional yeast, an ingredient that was seemingly missing, but otherwise normally found in vegan cheese?

Maybe it was nutritional yeast taco seasoning Martin poured in?

Watch and solve the mystery yourself.

Author Jonathan Safran Foer was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently to talk about his latest book, Eating Animals.

Jonathan touched on the fact that most people aren’t aware of the conditions of factory farms.

“Unfortunately this image that we have of a farm has created a distance between our values and our actions,” Jonathan says.

“We continue to believe that the meat on our plate comes from these idealyc places. I wish that it did, but it doesn’t.”

Watch the entire video to feel the veg vibe as the two vegans chit chat.
