“The Biggest Loser” Bob Harper Loves Barbecue Popchips

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Reality TV.

The NBC Universal Experience

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper interviewed with Never Say Diet, where he revealed what a typical day of his vegetarian diet consisted of.

Bob used to have a craving for chocolate, but since saying good-bye to the artificial sweeteners, it’s all about the Popchips now.

“I freakin’ love Pop Chips!” Bob said. “They come to my house and I’m like, Nicole [his assistant] get them out of my house! The barbecue flavor is my favorite.”

“They all know that I’m a vegetarian now. I tried to keep that under wraps for a while. It’s different for everyone, but I always try to hit three basic food groups and protein is number four in my book. I’m wanting people to get their fruits, vegetables and their grains and that to me is a well-balanced diet. Yes, your body needs protein, but it doesn’t need as much protein as everybody thinks it needs. I’m just trying to get people to eat their vegetables again. I’m like everybody’s father in America right now going “eat your vegetables.” It’s so sad that in 2009, people are still scared of carbohydrates. It’s sad that people are still thinking that you’re getting fat from eating carbs.”

“The Booby Scare” Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Nutrition-Health-Fitness, Videos.

Vegan Emily Deschanel, along with Alyson Hannigan, Kat McPhee, Minka Kelly, and Jaime King star in this breast cancer awareness video in celebration of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This is how celebrities have girls night in parties, so watch and take notes.

Full frontal shots of girl on girl boob grabbing and cleavage showing right before the paparazzi gets caught filming them.

Plus some great info on false alarms and what might not be breast cancer…like a rhinestone bra.

Incidentally, a vegetarian diet might give you more reason to grab your potentially lifelong cancer-free boobies.

Vegetarians have lower death rates from cancer, breast cancer rates are lower in countries where diets are plant-based, and when people from those countries adopt Western meat based diets, their breast cancer rates soar.

Brigitte Bardot Asked Sophia Loren For Fur Free Birthday

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.

Bridgitte Bardot Travels to Romania to Save Street Dogs

Two sex symbols of the 60s, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, turned 75 this month.

Bardot, a vegetarian and animal rights activist, wished Sophia a happy three quarters of a century, asking Sophia to give her the best birthday present ever.

“I wish a happy birthday to Sophia Loren, my splendid twin, and I ask her to stop wearing fur — that is the best gift she could offer me,” Bardot said.

Bardot was less harsh with her words than she was in the 90s when she said, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back,” after Loren posed in fur for an Italian designer.

Hey, it’s her birthday month. Everyone’s a little nicer around that time.
