Comments Off on “Dating In The Dark” Features Natasha The Ethical Vegetarian (Video)
Dating In The Dark is an ABC television reality show modeled after the one originally produced in the Netherlands and was since remade for American, Australian, British, Danish, Finnish, French, and Swedish audiences.
The show gives a whole new meaning to “blind date” as contestants experience their first few dates completely in darkness and are unable to see their potential mates, restricting to touching to, ahem, “assess” one another.
Most recently, Natasha, a swim instructor who’s a vegetarian for ethical reasons tried her hand in love but went home empty.
Most vegetarians looking for love can see an interest before talking to them on the green and vegetarian dating sites we’ve listed before.
Supervegan.com also runs a Date This Vegan feature for vegans in the New York area.

Comments Off on Tippi Hedren Receives Brave Heart Award For Big Cat Sanctuary
Tippi Hedren has been honored for her work with big cats by the number one online women’s networking site, BraveHeartWomen.com. The actress is one of the recipients of the 2010 annual Brave Heart Awards.
According to West Side Today, the Brave Heart Awards honors those who are “inspiring trailblazers who have transcended above the preconceived ideas of empowered individuals.” The awards were launched in 2009 by author and motivational speaker Ellie Drake.
Forget Tiger Woods and his life drama. There are much more interesting golf stories to talk about, like Phil Mickelson going vegetarian in an effort to ease his psoriatic arthritis.
“The last seven weeks, this will be the shocker,” Mickelson said, “I’ve actually been a vegetarian believe it or not.”
“I know this is crazy, but I know, I know. No, this wasn’t recommended by a doctor, I read a book and just thought maybe it will help. And if it helps my situation, I’m all for it.”
This may be such a big shocker because Mickelson owns the rights to Five Guys Burgers restaurants in Orange County, California.

Comments Off on Isaiah Mustafa Jay Leno Talk Vegan On “The Tonight Show” (Video)
Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Man, told the New York Post one of the top secrets to being a great man (in addition to never using pick up lines and keeping up with your man-icure) was eating healthy. Although he admitted to loving steaks and burgers, he’s on a vegan cleanse that doesn’t even allow caffeine.
“I pretty much eat lentils and certain types of tofu,” Mustafa said, adding that he couldn’t wait for it to end. But a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno along with previous reports, reveals Mustafa is mainly peeved about his gluten-filled goodies.
“Here’s the tough one: no gluten.”
If that’s all he’s worried about, then maybe Old Spice Man will bring back whole wheat pasta and add some seitan to his manly life–leaving the unmanly animal flesh behind for good!
Watch a clip from Mustafa’s visit to The Tonight Show below.
Comments Off on Daphne Oz “The Dorm Room Diet” Author Interview With Vegetarian Star
Daphne Oz
Daphne Oz, author of The Dorm Room Diet, and daughter of the famous daytime television host and heart surgeon Dr. Oz, has accumulated a wealth of information from her father, holistic nutrition adviser grandmother and vegetarian mother over the years. Daphne took her knowledge and wrote a book aimed to teach people how to fuel their bodies with food that gives energy, fights disease, and is healthier for the planet. The Dorm Room Diet contains an entire chapter especially dedicated to thinking about the impact of food on the environment, in addition to a chapter filled with vegetarian recipes.
Throughout the book, you remind readers of the benefits of being vegetarian (discuss how you get your nutrients without meat, pitfalls of meat protein, only vegetarian recipes in the book) without actually telling people to go veg. Was this done on purpose as a way to promote a vegetarian lifestyle without being preachy or did it naturally fall into place?
It naturally fell into place, partly because I have no idea how to cook meat, and partly because it’s a lot easier to purchase, store and cook vegetarian dishes when living in the dorm room. I’m glad you saw it as a natural way to promote the vegetarian lifestyle, and introduce readers to flavors, textures, and substitutes they might never have considered before, because that was certainly a goal of ours throughout the chapter. So often, knowledge and a little nudge is all people need to change old habits.
What’s your favorite recipe from the book and why?
My favorite recipe is the Nuttier Butter, just because it’s so easy and versatile–I would spread it on whole grain toast for breakfast, eat a spoonful before working out for a powerful shot of protein, fiber and energy, and even used it as the base for a spicy thai peanut salad dressing for dinner sometimes. Plus, it’s such a cool variation on the average peanut butter that adds omega fats and fiber.
The Dorm Room Diet sounds like it’s aimed at college students. How can a regular, working adult benefit from some of the advice in the book?
The advice in the book is really targeted at anyone looking to break free of the deprivation of fad diets and establish a permanent, healthy lifestyle that puts you in total control. The tips and tricks are targeted at anyone short on time, space, and/or money who still wants to make an effort to establish healthy habits to last a lifetime, so it’s equally helpful to people spending their time in a dorm room or a cubicle!
