Thandie Newton Vegan Detox Diva

Thandie Newton‘s personal assistant is more useful than her husband.

Or, at least she finds time to speak to the assistant more often.

“She’s my right hand woman,” Newton said. “I hate to say it but we may actually text and speak more than my husband and I!”

According to Contact Music, she told Cosmopolitan magazine: “The most embarrassing thing I’ve asked her to do was to deliver some food for me last week on a shoot. I’m currently doing a detox and I feel like such a diva – not only having food delivered to the set, but also the fact that it was raw, vegan, had to be eaten within 24 hours… all this c**p!”

So much interaction between the two would obviously cause an occasional disagreement, but who would suspect a lover of compassionate food would be so mean to her assistant?

“We’re also very rude to each other on text – I called her a lying b***h the other day! If anybody read a transcript without knowing us, they’d think we were crazed!”

What was lying bitch assistant untruthful about?

The percentage of organic ingredients in Thandie’s protein bar?

Dr. Mehmet Oz Vegetable Secret

The International Consumer Electronics Show Highlights Latest Gadgets

Dr. Mehmet Oz loves his veggies!

In a 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me article in US Magazine, Dr. Oz reveals his favorite vegetable is okra.

He also divulged one of his favorite songs is by John Mayer.

Definitely TMI.

Besides okra, when Dr. Oz goes grocery shopping, he probably picks up other healthy items he recommended to Palm Beach Post, like ginger, yogurt with rich anti-oxidant blueberries, and colorful vegetables, which, according to Oz, the deeper and darker the color, the better.

Are these the items Rocco the meat eating cowboy ate during Dr. Oz’s mandated vegan diet?

Ellen DeGeneres Vegan Chili And Nachos Recipe (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 12th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Recipes, TV Hosts, Videos.

Ellen DeGeneres‘ right hand vegan food man, Roberto Martin, demonstrated how to make vegan chili and nachos on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The recipe, which can be found here, uses lean Mexican flavored soy crumbles and vegan cheese for sprinkling, plus homemade nacho cheese.

The vegan chili sounds delish, but something sounds weird about the homemade nacho cheese, which is mainly made up of tofu and vegan mayonnaise…what the heck did chef Martin do with the nutritional yeast, an ingredient that was seemingly missing, but otherwise normally found in vegan cheese?

Maybe it was nutritional yeast taco seasoning Martin poured in?

Watch and solve the mystery yourself.

“Vegan Soul Kitchen” Bryant Terry–Eco Black History Month

Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry

Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry

February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting black individuals setting an example by making healthier choices for animals, the planet and themselves.

Bryant Terry is a food activist, chef and the author of Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy and Creative African American Cuisine.

His writings and recipes have appeared in eco-themed magazines like Vegetarian Times and Yoga Journal, but he has also garnered mainstream attention in the New York Times and Food and Wine.

Vegan Soul Kitchen takes the heart of African and Caribbean cuisine and gives it a lighter carbon footprint by removing animal ingredients from recipes such as Cajun-Creole-Spiced Tempeh Pieces with Creamy Grits and Sweet Cornmeal-Coconut Butter Drop Biscuits.

Although he completed a program at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, Terry emphasizes he’s a self-taught foodie.

During an interview with EatDrinkBetter, Terry said:

“Growing up in Memphis, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my grandparents observing them and helping out as much as possible. From early I was picky about what I ate (and everything else), so I started preparing my own meals with fastidious attention, teaching myself as I went along. Studying at the Natural Gourmet Institute refined my culinary skills.”

Rush Limbaugh Too Liberal–Dr. Neal Barnard On Diet

Dr. Neal Barnard

Back in December, Rush Limbaugh received a vegetarian care package from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) after he was hospitalized for chest pains.

If Rush hadn’t been such a filthy dirty liberal, he would have never landed there.

That’s right, Rush is about as loose as Howard Stern…when it comes to diet.

In an article from CrazySexyLife, Dr. Neal Barnard, president of PCRM says Rush and everyone else needs to be more conservative–or face dire health consequences.

“As a doctor, I’m offering one bit of advice, not just to Rush, but to all Americans: We need to be more conservative. As conservative as possible, in fact.”

“Indeed, people who stick to an entirely plant-based diet, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, can do more than just prevent heart disease; they can actually reverse it, as was demonstrated in the now-classic studies of Dean Ornish, M.D.”

“The only good thing about a health scare is that it reminds us how important our diets and lifestyles are to our well-beings. It’s time to trade our cheeseburgers for veggie burgers, beef tacos for bean burritos, and remote controls for tennis shoes. Yes, that’s my prescription for Rush—but it’s also my prescription for us all.”

Sounds like a radio talk show to tune in to.

The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
Jonathan Safran Foer

Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor Economy

Stephen Colbert recently hosted Jonathan Safran Foer on The Colbert Report to discuss his latest book, Eating Animals.

Foer discussed the realities of how factory farms and the mass production of meat affects animals, giving the example that turkeys today don’t get it on.

“The Thanksgiving turkey isn’t even capable of sexually reproducing anymore,” Foer said.

When Colbert asked how turkeys multiply, Foer first joked that they are stimulated by porn.

Stimulated by PETA anti-fur ads featuring naked women, no doubt.

“They’re all artificially inseminated,” Foer claimed.

Not resisting the chance to offend, Colbert placed a plate of bacon in front of Foer, which Foer, keeping in theme with animal reproduction, labeled as merely, “flaccid.”
