Vegetarian Star

With so many advancements in warm, winter-wear technology and good looking faux furs out there, why would a designer use the real thing?

It’s something that boggles the mind of vegetarian actress Alyssa Milano.

“I’m not sure I understand, how in this day & age, some designers still use real fur in their collections,” Milano wrote on her Twitter account. “I mean, really?”

As a fashion designer herself, Milano knows how to be both chic and cruel-free.

She has a line of women’s sportswear called Fandalia that features tops, hoodies, jackets and pants with logos and designs that show support for major NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA sports teams.

Kathy Freston "Veganist"

Kathy Freston made an appearance on “Good Morning America” and shared some of her favorite comfort meals cooked vegan style!

Mock versions of chicken dinners, pastas with meatballs and ice cream are good ways for people to make the transition to a vegan diet, Freston says.

“Take out eating one animal at a time and replace it with the vegan meal that looks like the traditional favorite food and just lean into it. You don’t have to make the change overnight but just gradually move toward vegan food.”

Freston tantalizes Robin Roberts‘ taste buds with vegan Chicken Parmesan, spaghetti bolognese, chicken nuggets and ice cream made from coconut and soy milk. With selections like these, it may be tempting to ditch the whole “gradual” movement and dive right in.

Seitan and soy chicken fingers every night anyone?

Watch the clip of Freston on Good Morning America below.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

“Really the thing is to understand that this lifestyle is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. You want to make the changes that you will stay with your whole life. You know, go to the Red Bamboos out there that give you the types of food where it’s transitioning you away from the meat and dairy. If you try to go from eating meat to straight up raw food you’re not gonna last. So little by little just phase out the poisonous foods and replace them with healthy substitutes.”

—John Jospeh, author of Meat Is For Pussies, on how a new vegetarian or vegan can make the transition.

In his latest series of columns about sustainable food and food politics, author Mark Bittman is challenging the notion that GMO foods should not be labeled as such because they are no different from regular food.

Recently, the US Department of Agriculture has approved several GMOs, including alfalfa, corn and sugar beets. And it may not be long before steroid fish, otherwise known as genetically modified salmon, hits the stores too.

Parvesh Cheena plays Gupta, an employee everybody loves to avoid on NBC’s “Outsourced,” a sitcom about an Indian call center located in Mumbai for an American-based catalog ordering company.

Cheena is a pescatarian who will add more “almond milk, brown rice and stir fry” to his diet when trying to eat healthier. He’s also got a weakness for cauliflower. However, he admits he is a cheese-aholic and it’s the only thing standing between him and veganism. Or maybe one of those weird vegans who eat fish occasionally.

“My big downfall is deep-dish pizza from Chicago,” Cheena told CNN’s Eatocracy. “That is why I can’t go vegan – I can’t give up cheese. I can’t give up dairy.”
