Comments Off on Joan Jett’s Grocery Basket–Possible Promiscuous Olive Oil
Joan Jett opened the contents of her grocery shopping cart to Dr. John Briffa in The Guardian’s regular feature of “What’s In Your Basket?”
Being vegetarian, Jett’s food didn’t bring too much criticism from Briffa, even the Olive Oil who’s virginity is doubtful. More on that later.
“Versatile and tasty oil is very rich in so-called ‘monounsaturated’ fat that is believed to have benefits for the heart and cardiovascular system generally. Olive oil also contains ‘phenolic’ compounds, that protect the body against freed radical damage, and have been linked with a reduced risk of some forms of cancer including breast cancer.”
Here’s hoping Jett has genuine “extra virgin olive oil,” as a new study indicates as many as 2/3 of the olive oils on the shelves claiming to be EVOO, were found to be a mix of cheaper oils like canola and nut, as reported in an LA Times article called Lab Tests Cast Doubt On Oil’s Virginity.

If anyone had doubts that a vegan Italian restaurant can work in the midwest, Chrissie Hynde proved them wrong. The singer owns The Vegiterranean in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, where the Parmesean on the menu is “Rawmesan”–a completely animal free topping, not to mention Gardein faux meat for the chicken, meatballs and other proteins.
Chrissie shared one of her favorite vegan pastas, linguine with portobello mushroom ragu with wholewheat pasta, vegan Parmesan, onions, tomatoes and red wine.
“I add rosemary, but oregano or thyme would also work,” says Chrissie of the substitution.

Comments Off on Bob Harper Kicks Off Farm Sanctuary “Walk For Animals”
Bob Harper will kick off Farm Sanctuary’s 2010 Walk For Animals, an event meant to raise money for one of the nation’s leading farm animal protection agencies that rescues farm animals and educates the public on the conditions these animals endure in factory farms.
Since vegetarian Harper is one of the fitness gurus behind the popular weight loss reality TV show, The Biggest Loser, it’s only fitting he would put his face behind a campaign to keep both people and animals healthy.
“Getting and staying physically fit is a lot easier when you have a powerful motivation, and I can’t think of a better reason to get moving this fall than to raise vital funds and awareness for farm animals,” said Harper.

Comments Off on Alicia Silverstone Favorite Vegetarian Dog Treats
Alicia Silverstone and her husband keep vegetarian in the entire family–including the couple’s dogs!
Silverstone recently took to her blog, The Kind Life, to discuss the dogs’ meatless diets and share her recommendations for canine food.
She feeds her pups the Canine Health Line from Dr. Harvey’s brand of dog food. Canine Health Line offers a mix of human grade organic grains, vegetables and herbs with absolutely no animal products. It functions as sort of a doggie “Hamburger Helper,” as you add your own protein to the mix, such as lentils, and cook it.
Silverstone recommends about adding extra supplements to the mix, though.
