Comments Off on Chelsea Clinton Wedding Guests Need Eco-Friendly Porta Potties
We already know the kinds of stuff going into Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding guests (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) give her points for a green ceremony foodwise. But what about the facilities taking care of things going out?
True, it’s not the most pleasant thought to have, but UK Express is reporting the couple and family has rented several portable “loos” complete with hot water and stereo music.

Pamela Anderson has called Janet Jackson “greedy” for agreeing to be the cover girl for Blackglama’s ad campaign, “What Becomes A Legend Most?”
Anderson told OUT magazine, “It’s disappointing. She has spoken out against fur before. I don’t know why some people stop listening to their heart. I guess some people get greedy, but it’s sad.”

Daphne Oz had her famous cardio surgeon/TV host father, Dr. Oz, write a forward to her book, The Dorm Room Diet, which contains real advice for curbing the freshman 15 from a gal who experienced it herself.
However, daughter Oz has no problem holding down the fort when it comes to dishing dirt on getting healthy, as the 240 page book contains her eight steps aimed at teaching college students nutrition and fitness.
The 2010 edition is a revision to the original book written in 2006 by the vegetarian who also follows a gluten-free diet.
Before Princeton University, Daphne worked with her high school to introduce the Healthy Eating Initiative, a program that replaced many processed meats in the cafeteria menu with whole grains and raw foods.
