Vegetarian Star

Green is good. And the judges of Project Runway agreed on that recently when this season’s sustainable designer on the show, Gretchen Jones, won the very first challenge.

Jones, who’s patterns include organic cotton, hand-dyed fabrics and soy fibers, impressed Heidi Klum and the others on the “And Sew It Begins” episode. Ironically, the task was a lesson is using less as well. Instead of starting from scratch, Jones had to create a look using a garment from another contestant’s suitcase.

Jones has said on the show, “I always want to be fashion first. I want you to purchase me because I’m an amazing brand that just happens to be green.”

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.

Rachel Zoe dispensed some good advice on nail polish when she recommended Ginger + Liz’s “Got My Groove Back,” metallic gold tone as one of her favorites.

“I like to paint this on before a big night out. I mean, it is just too good not to. Plus, bonus points to this eco-friendly beauty brand for creating polishes that are all organic, vegan-friendly and toxin-free.”

“Got My Groove Back” is just one of several cute and clever named polishes, along with “Can You Keep A Secret?” and “High Maintenance.”

You may one day ask your “Half Naked,” “Boy Toy” to “Tuck Me In” if you get “Hot and Bothered” but definitely “Not On The First Date.”

Actress Ashley Bell plays a possessed Nell Sweetzer in the upcoming film, The Last Exorcism. Bell told Nylon magazine that the director asked her in advance if she was vegetarian, so he could choose between chicken broth or Gatorade for her vomit during one scene.

Bell isn’t a meat eater, so she swished the thirst quenching sports drink in her mouth instead. The Last Exorcism comes out in theatres on August 27th.

Watch a sneak peek film below.

“One of my favorite dishes is roasted vegetables–I just put the veggies in a pan, then toss them with some olive oil, garlic, and salt before roasting. And I was never a fan of avocados, but now I love to slice them open and add a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or honey and salt.”

Michelle Obama "Ladies Home Journal"

Michelle Obama‘s interview with Ladies Home Journal available on the stands August 10th, reveals her suspicion of a “dislike beet gene” she shares with the president.

‘I am a believer there is a beet gene,” she said. “People who love beets love them and people who hate beets can’t stand them. Neither the President nor I have the beet gene.”

A study examining the food preference of twins found liking fruits and vegetables is somewhat influenced by genes, but environmental factors also play a big role. But judging a veggie to taste bitter may be a case of genetics of the tongue receptors.
