“The reality is if you eat live, organic food–mostly non-processed, non-animal raised–you’re not only working on the environment but your own inner environment will benefit greatly. Eat the diet Adam and Eve were designed to eat.”

—Esai Morales, actor known for his roles in NYPD Blue, Jericho and Capria during an interview at Global Green’s pre-Oscar party.

Someone trying to sell you the idea that you can’t get the nutrition you need from plants? Or that animal products can’t harm your health? Meet the Adam and Eve lying serpent of 2011. Don’t be fooled by a snake oil salesman!

Vegetarian fans of Olivia Newton-John were disappointed to learn she had started eating grilled chicken and fish because she thought that action would alleviate anemia. Olivia was once a very outspoken vegetarian and environmentalist, even recording an animal rights song The Promise (The Dolphin Song) in the early 80s.

But Olivia has entered the cookbook world now. And just because she isn’t eating 100% vegetarian doesn’t mean she’s forgotten how to cook it. Her book, Livwise, set for release in May, is very vegetarian friendly.

“If you start to use the v-word, people get nervous. Somehow, there’s a feeling from years ago that vegans are strange. There are so many negative connotations. There’s so much more to talk about apart from a word. It’s about nutrition and improving your health.”

—Dr. Caldwell Essestyn, cardiologist and author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, who saw a trend in the cholesterol levels of his patients who adopted a plant-based diet. Esselstyn recently attended a screening of Forks Over Knives, a film which examines the claim that major diseases that prematurely claim so many lives each year are caused by diet, particularly one heavy in animal products.

Esselstyn is a vegan, but told  CNN’s Eatocracy the film’s creators tried to leave it out of the film as much as possible.

Because it’s not about the “V” word. It’s about the “P” word. Go plant power!
