Vegetarian Star

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!”

Even better for her vegan fans, Ellen may be releasing a cookbook in the future.

Ellen DeGeneres is showing her beautiful vegan face on the October 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

Inside, the talk show host discusses her love of animals, including the animal charities she’s worked with.

She’s donated her time and money to animal welfare organizations like Humane Society and sanctuaries like The Gentle Barn, but would you call her an activist?

Maybe a “compassionist” would better define her.

Dr. Oz and his health column partner Dr. Mike Roizen are dishing out some good advice for a family that wants to trim the animal fat from its diet.

“I went with a friend to [California’s] Santa Monica Pier. We were idly watching a guy fishing; he reeled in a fish, and the poor thing was gasping and writhing. I thought, I’m going to take a break from the animal-killing thing. I still think about the fish, and wish I could communicate to that spirit how many lives it saved.”
