Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegan (184)

Kathy Freston, author of vegan diet and health book The Lean, appeared on HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss how adopting a vegan lifestyle can help combat obesity, a disease one researcher has predicted will affect 32 more million people within two decades.

Although there’s no one cure for the disease, Freston suggests something as simple as an apple a day may keep the pounds away.

Of course, it helps if you eat it versus only balancing it on your head as Velez-Mitchell does in the segment.

Michael Clarke Duncan PETA

Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his role as John in The Green Mile and currently Leo Knox on the Fox television series The Finder, has recorded a PSA for vegetarianism for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Duncan was plagued with several health problems before going vegetarian and recalls it was a birthday approximately three years ago that prompted him to change. That change included switching to plant-based proteins like beans and tofu and giving away all his Omaha steaks, fish and chicken entrees to the neighbors.

We hope he tries to give them samples of seitan every now and then too.

Dr. Oz suggests watching carbohydrates and incorporating lean, plant-based protein.

“I don’t want you to become a carbotarian,” Oz says.

“I explored it in middle school and it just felt right. In my 20s, I committed to it and my energy changed. I felt much more alive and started to enjoy cooking.”

Rachel Boston, actress best known for her role in American Dreams. Boston’s experience is typical for many vegetarians. According to a survey done by the Vegan Research Panel, 52% of vegans adopted the diet between the ages of 16 and 24, proving age isn’t always necessary for wisdom.
