Vegetarian Star

“I don’t eat any meat. I only eat fish twice a week, and I eat only vegetables and fruit, and I’ve lost total. … I was at my height about 305, now I’m down to 180, 185.”

—Al Sharpton, during an interview on The Wendy Williams Show. Just a quick reminder to Al and the rest of you pescatarians–fish is meat too. But congratulations to him for making a drastic change in his life for better health.

For some people, going vegetarian or vegan takes education, watching a few gory slaughter videos here and there or getting to personally know a farm animal. For others, it’s a matter of just asking, “Why not?”

Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mike Zigomanis was approached by a golfing buddy on the subject.  The friend eventually scored a hole-in-one by converting Zigomanis to a full-time vegan.

“I wasn’t really eating any meat or seafood and he asked why I wouldn’t just stop all together,” Zigomanis said in an interview with Cardiac Cane. “It made sense, so I eventually stopped.”

Daphne Oz

The Chew is a dream come true for the daytime talk show/foodie person who’s looking for a little more than the Food Network.

Hosted by some of the biggest names in celebrity food, this ABC series may be taking food TV in the right direction by featuring chefs like Mario Batali and Carla Hall, both known for incorporating fresh, seasonal and plant-based items into their entrees.

It doesn’t hurt that one of the hosts is Daphne Oz, promoter of a vegetarian diet and author of The Dorm Room Diet.

The daughter of Dr. Oz, host of the popular daytime medical series The Dr. Oz Show, Daphne recently demonstrated one of the family’s favorite meatless recipes–Oz Family Chili.

Those that watched the episode may have heard Daphne say she was adding chicken broth to the recipe.

However, that was nothing more than a good ol’ vegetarian April Fool’s joke.

Daphne wrote on her Facebook page, “Oops, I said i used “chicken stock” in my veggie chili–so sorry, guys! it was veggie broth!”
