Jon Fitch

Jon Fitch can be added to the list of mostly vegetarian celebrities who’ve been mislead about the health benefits of adding meat to your diet.

The MMA fighter stated he has started to occasionally add animal products because it’s difficult to gain weight without them.

“I found out that going 100% vegan was good for me, but I was losing too much weight,” Fitch told Bloody Elbow. “I was at 183 pounds, walk-around weight, and that’s just too light for me. I don’t have enough mass.”

Mario Batali

To say that Mario Batali is a fan of cherries is perhaps an understatement.

Ask him how he likes to prepare the tart fruit and you’ll get more answers than a fruit salad.

“I’ll take some Michigan cherries and I’ll dress them with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some chopped jalapeños, a little cilantro, and some red wine vinegar. Suddenly, I’ll have something that almost behaves like a pickle relish. I’ll put it on my sandwiches. I’ll serve it with beans and rice. I’ll put it on top of my pizza. I’ll eat it like a salad just out of the refrigerator.”

Joss Stone

Joss Stone is normally a healthy vegetarian, but admits she sometimes packs on a few extra pounds here and there.

Blame it on the non-vegan food on tour.

“In Europe, all they want to give you is bread and cheese, bread and cheese, bread and cheese” Stone said.

“Thank God I can sing [for a living] because it really doesn’t matter how thin I am,” Joss explained to US publication Shape magazine. “It’s irrelevant! That’s what I think when I feel that I’ve put on weight. I quickly remind myself, I’m not a model. That’s not important.”

We put them in aluminum foil and put olive oil all over them with a little bit of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. I also love asparagus – whenever I’m home, I love to bake it.
