Vegetarian Star

Green means go, red means heck no and yellow means a “sometimes food?”

New York Times foodwriter and opinionist Mark Bittman has proposed a new labeling system that will allow consumers to quickly make decisions about the health impact of their food purchases.

Instead of scrutinizing calories, fat, and other minute nutritional detail, shoppers would simply look for a “red,” “yellow” or “green” symbol to learn how healthy the item was.

This isn’t just Bittman’s idea thrown out of anywhere. There’s actual data suggesting the system makes consumers turn down “red” light products more.

Rosie O’Donnell spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her recent heart health scare and how she hopes switching to a vegetarian diet will help erase some of the damage she’s done to her health over the years.

“I’d like to say I had a heart attack — because women especially like to say heart event. I’m like ‘No, it’s a real heart attack,'” she emphasized. “But I’m feeling better, I’m following the doctor’s orders, and it’s totally made me change the way that I was living.”

A study found that 13% of physicians recommend a low-fat vegetarian diet for their heart patients, although it’s recommended all do. O’Donnell has chosen to follow this advice, regardless of any RX.

A good sense of humor and being able to cook all put men in Aselton’s league for potential partners.

Cooking and eating vegan, however, does not.

Meet Jim Morris.

He’s a 77-year old bodybuilder.

Although that statement itself is newsworthy, there’s more. The former Mr. New York (1966), Mr. California (1970) and Mr. Universe (1977), turned vegetarian at 50, then vegan at 65.

Morris explained to Frugivore Magazine how dropping all animal products did much more than get him ripped.

“Prior to becoming vegan I suffered digestive problems all my life, mainly constipation. I started taking anti inflammatory medication in 1966 for my joints. At one point I was getting cortisone injections directly into both elbows every week. The arthritis kept me awake at night.”
