Mark Bittman follows that old saying the breakfast is the most important vegan meal of the day.

During a recent interview with Take Two on 89.3 KPCC, Southern California’s Public Radio, Bittman gave a few suggestions on how anyone following his vegan before six flexitarian or completely vegan eating plan can fuel up for the first meal of the day.

“I like oatmeal with chopped vegetables and cilantro and scallions and soy sauce. I realize that’s not to everyone’s taste, but many people like savory breakfast. Smoothies, which I make with frozen fruit and silken tofu or soy milk or almond milk or oat milk or whatever. And fruit, I just eat it through the morning and it seems to do fine.”

“I was 57, which you know, happens to everyone who is lucky enough to live to be 57 and I was 40 pounds overweight, my cholesterol was 50 points higher than it should have been and my blood sugar was high. I had a conventional doctor who wanted to do things via surgery and drugs and then I went and saw this older guy, who’s not very conventional, but is very smart, who I’ve known for a long time and I said, “Here’s the numbers, what should I do?”

“He said: “You should become a vegan.”

—Mark Bittman, in a feature in the Huffington Post on his new book, Eat Vegan Before 6, and the flexitarian plan he designed that serves as the book’s inspiration.

Everyone’s favorite Skinny Bitch has penned a new book on another side to the vegan lifestyle in addition to eating.

Beg: A Radical New Way of Regarding Animals by Rory Freedman is filled with advice on how everyone, from meat eater to raw vegan, can improve the lives of millions of cats and dogs in the world.

In chapter 1, titled “All My Children,” Freedman introduces the reader to the love she has for her pets using the same sass found in the diet books she has co-authored over the years.

“Like every other psychotic dog mom, I could write an entire book about my pack. I adopted the first two, Timber and Joey, with my then boyfriend Reggie (Reggie isn’t his real name. In order to protect his privacy, I’m using the name of his first dog.)

Mark Bittman already has a pretty flexible vegan eating plan.

Eat what you want (sensibly) at dinnertime, but every meal before 6:00 P.M. should be vegan.

“Yes, I put milk in my coffee in the morning,” Bittman said. “Real vegans don’t, but I’m not a real vegan….On strict days, [I eat] no dairy, no animal products at all, no processed food, no white food like white rice, pasta, bread, etc..”
