Comments Off on Anthony Bourdain Will Tell His Vegetarian Teen “It’s Just A Phase!”
Gordon Ramsay joked he would put his kid on a fence and electrocute him if he went vegetarian. Now another celebrity chef with a taste for both fine food and foul mouth has shared how he would react if his daughter went meatless.
“I’ll say, “It’s a phase! It’s a phase!” I will live with it. I will love my daughter. But I will cook bacon around her every day.”
Bourdain had better get ready to grab the faux ham instead, because according to the LA Times, his daughter is a good candidate for going veg 10 years from now.

Comments Off on Bob Barker “Larry King Live” On Whaling (Video)
Bob Barker‘s visit to Larry King Live was, as expected, phenomenal!
Hard to believe the octogenarian is keeping a pace most men half his age would struggle to compete with.
Barker sat alongside Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson and explained why he gave $5 million to fight whale harpooning.
Harper and other activists probably breathed a sign of relief when the International Whaling Commission recently rejected a much publicized proposal to turn over a 24 year moratorium on commercial whaling.
Comments Off on Nicole Richie Supports Healthy School Meals Act
Nicole Richie is one of the greenest celebrity moms out there, known for being super-strict about buying organic products for the family, eating less meat, and composting. It’s no surprise she’s one of a slew of celebrities backing the Healthy School Meals Act, a bill that would provide regular vegetarian and dairy-free beverage options to more schools.
Richie and her partner, Joel Madden, recently opened a Los Angeles garden for school children and suggests this is yet another way government can give schools the kick they need to churn out healthy, intelligent adults.
“It’s wonderful to teach children about good nutrition and show them how to grow vegetables, but it’s even more important to ensure that they actually have an opportunity to eat these healthier foods on a daily basis.”
Tonight Jane Velez-Mitchell is going to the dogs. And the cats. And the farm animals, wild horses and the monkeys.
The vegan host of Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell will use her show tonight on CNN’s HLN to discuss numerous animal issues, such as the Gulf Coast oil spill effect on animals, the plight of factory farmed animals, monkeys used in laboratories in Puerto Rico as well as interviews with Jorja Fox, Bob Harper and a PETA representative.
If the thought of having to cook breakfast for your in-laws is scarier than being forced to sit in a smelly steakhouse all day long, maybe a recipe making basic blueberry scones will ease the anxiety.
One Frugal Foodie had the task of doing so, and created Blueberry Scones, taken from Erin McKenna’s BabyCakes Cookbook.
Unlike most of the recipes from McKenna’s cookbook, the Blueberry Scones are not gluten-free, but still created with McKenna’s signature ingredients used in her bakeries in NYC and LA like coconut oil and agave nector.

During this 4th of July as we celebrate freedom and independence, it’s a great time think about the men and women who serve and fight to protect ours. And the animals that help them.
Recent statements made by the Army Surgeon General’s special assistant for mental health, Col. Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, M.D., at the annual convention of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), informed that the army is using dogs to help soldiers recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
“Animals are not just cute,” Ritchie said. “They provide support.”
