Vegetarian Star

Katy Perry filmed the video to her single, Part of Me, at the U.S.’s Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. The song is about a woman who decides to enlist after learning her boyfriend has cheated on her.

Perry got into the role by going through drills and eating lots of vegetarian MREs–Meals Ready To Eat–standard entrees served to service men and women.

“I had the vegetarian barbecue chicken or something,” Perry said. “It’s actually really good. It tasted like a McRib.”

The Reverend Al Sharpton announced last year he’d gone meatless. But we had no idea how much this benefited him. Sharpton lost 130 pounds from the vegetarian diet he adopted in 2010. He cites vegan former president of the United States Bill Clinton as an inspiration for the change.

“It was about two years ago that I finally decided to take all the weight off again, and so I cut the starches, the meat, and I even gave up chicken. I was a chicken junkie. I used to eat chicken three times a day. I have gone from a weight of 214 pounds to my current weight of 167 pounds.”

Gwyneth Paltrow consulted with Dr. Frank Lipman, an acclaimed Integrative Physician and the founder and director of the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center in New York City to  figure out what to eat at the hour that she’s barely awake.

“Do you ever ask yourself why you are virtually comatose at the desk by 10:30 am, even though you actually ate breakfast?” Dr. Lipman asked on Paltrow’s Goop blog. “Chances are you were barking up the wrong nutritional tree.”

Dan Barber, executive chef and co-owner of NY’s touted as sustainable Blue Hill restaurant, has written a piece for the Wall Street Journal, criticizing vegetarians and vegans who automatically presume their diets are more environmentally conscious.

“I’d like some to explain the phenomenon of the self-righteous vegetarian to me,” Barber wrote.

“I’m not here to say I don’t eat vegetables—I do, a lot of them—but, from a soil perspective, they’re actually more costly than a cow grazing on grass. Vegetables deplete soil. They’re extractive. If soil has a bank account, vegetables make the largest withdrawals. So without animal manure, where are you going to get your soil fertility for all those vegetables in an organic system? You are, by some measures, forcing crops into a kind of imbalance.”

Cornelia Guest is not one to pick up a cookbook and try the recipe with 30 different ingredients, half of which most people have never heard of or may not be able to pronounce.

On the contrary, this vegan fashion business owner and author would prefer a vegan dish like most of you probably cook regularly, one that is simple and not very time-consuming.

“One of my pet peeves in life is pretension, especially with food. I love food in its natural state; I have a very simple palate,” Guest said.

Dr. Ray Fabius, chief medical officer for Truven Health Analytics, tells NPR’s The Salt, “American culture has been a meat-and-potatoes culture for a very long time.”

“Now we’re in a period of believing that intake of meat should be reduced in this country; we’re talking about a generational transition.”

The recently blogged article not only discusses America’s changing eating habits, but their motivations behind doing so.

If there’s a favorite vegetable among vegetarians, the olive probably ranks pretty high. Besides being tasty and complementing dishes like pizza, salads, wraps and pitas and pastas, the olive—which is technically classified as a fruit—is rich with monounsaturated fat—a component linked in research studies with maintaining good cholesterol levels.
