The Vegucation of Robin

Robin Quivers has experienced more than few health challenges over the years.

Known best for her role as Howard Stern’s sidekick on his radio show, Quivers has adopted a vegan diet, lost almost 100 pounds, wrote a book on vegan health and recipes and even trained for a marathon.

If diet and lifestyle have anything to do with beating deadly diseases, Quivers’ work may have paid off.

Diagnosed with cancer, she has now gone public to say it is in full remission.

Martha Stewart has gotten together with several celebrities to cook, including a visit with one of Twitter’s co-founders to demonstrate a vegan seitan dish.

She invited Joan Rivers to her kitchen so the two could whip up yet another version of the Middle Eastern dish.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is quite fond of his tiger friend in The Hangover.

In real life, he’s just as enamored with the big cats and he recently said during an interview that he’s owned several of them and curls up with them in bed just like many do with a kitty from the shelter.

Only his kitty comes from a bigger shelter–at least the size of a sanctuary–and Tyson probably has to scoop much bigger things out of the litter box for it.

Below are a few highlights from the interview with Conan O’Brien:

“My impulse came from a documentary about rastros, which is what they call slaughterhouses in Mexico. And in this documentary, you could see the cruelty that the animals suffered and the way in which they kill them and how they leave them to bleed out. And from that moment on, I decided to stop eating them. Animals are our brothers, and we can’t keep using them and causing them pain.”

Ruben Albarron, in an interview with PETA, explaining his reason for going vegetarian. The singer of the popular Mexican musical group Cafe Tacvba struck a pose in one of its ads promoting the meatless diet, Revolucion Vegetariana.

Cicely Tyson

Cicely Tyson is a true spokesperson for what the vegetarian diet can do for longevity.

Almost into her 80s, the actress once compared putting the right foods into your body much like running a luxury car on the right fuel.

Tempeh kabobs

When Washington Post food editor Joe Yonan was invited to a summer cookout, he warned the host in advance he was veggie.

The host had no problem–just advised him he’d be cooking his own dinner.

It may not sound like the best of hospitality, but it gave the newly vegan who just published the cookbook, Eat Your Vegetables, a great reason to try tempeh kebobs, a perfect dish to make before the fall season hits and the weather turns cooler.
