Vegetarian Star

“I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I’m a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself.”

—Lea Michele, from a list of her most memorable quotes compiled after her recent birthday. The actress turned 27 yesterday and is looking better than ever, something she can probably at least partially attribute to following some kind of plant-based diet.

John Salley has an interview in ESPN‘s “True Hoop” that is completely dedicated to veganism in the NBA.

Who else is vegan in the NBA world? Will you get ribbed in the locker room for doing so? Salley gave the full details to ESPN.

He Should Have Gone Vegan a Long Time Ago:
“Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn’t imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don’t know how to take care of their body.”

Fall Out Boy is back after a brief hiatus.

Fans of the band have seen it go through a lot of changes since its birth in 2001, but those who have been around can still remember hit tunes like “Sugar, we’re goin’ down” and “Dance, Dance,” like it was yesterday.

The guys have seen members come and go and some have started families. But the one thing that hasn’t wavered in the last decade or so is the diet of drummer Andy Hurley.

Hurley has a podcast with PETA2 where he discusses how much veganism has changed–for the better.

Looking for a preview of Washington Post editor Joe Yonan‘s cookbook, Eat Your Vegetables, before purchasing?

Try a sample recipe from the collection created from the former meat-loving Texan and food critic that utilizes the flavors from around the globe.

Yonan travels to Egypt via the spice section of the grocery store in his recipe for Roasted Carrot, Green Bean and Coconut Salad.

Dukkah is a mixture of spices and nuts, often blended with olive oil and used as a dip for breads.

In Yonan’s recipe, it makes a crunchy topping for the salad much like breadcrumbs, nuts or crumbled hard cheeses do.

Roger Federer won’t be writing a book about plant-based and gluten-free diets like his competitor Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic’s Serve To Win follows his journey to better health and play once he took a physician’s advice to give up wheat.

Federer has had no such problems in his life and insists he really prefers to eat a bit of everything, although he did grow up eating more of a plant-based than meat diet.

He makes fun of gluten-free, but doesn’t mock vegetarian diets.

Mayim Bialik is well accustomed to modifying traditional Jewish recipes to fit the criteria for being vegan.

Her upcoming cookbook, The Plant-Based Family Kitchen, will be especially devoted to creating animal-free versions of things like egg-free latkes and vegan tofu matzah brei.

Many followers of religion feel treating animals kindly is a duty, much like caring for the sick and poor and being a good neighbor. Bialik feels no differently and is using the approaching Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah to ask Jews to consider removing animal products from their diets.
