Comments Off on Vegan Chef Part Of “Chefs Move To Schools” Michelle Obama Campaign
Jakub Mejstrik
A vegan chef is part of the 500 in Michelle Obama‘s Chefs Move To Schools campaign that does a Jamie Oliver-like revolution and pairs culinary experts with schools across the nation to improve lunches and educate cafeteria workers, teachers and administrators.
Jakub Mejstrik is a vegan chef who is likely to end up in a school in the northeast Ohio area once he starts his mission. Although he knows he’s not going to turn every 5th grader vegetarian, as a vegan, his perspectives on food and health are bound to make an incredible difference.
“There is no way I can just go into the schools and tell [children and administrators] ‘this is what I believe in, this is what you should do’ — but at least I want to help them incorporate as many fresh fruits and vegetables as they can,” Mejstrik toldCleveland.com.
If you’ve ever attended a state or county fair, you may have felt left out after discovering all the selection of fried foods contained meat. Now, vegans can go downhill as well with fried cupcakes shown in this video.
Disturbingly delicious looking, this may be used as last resort to entice the otherwise animal product junk food addict to cross over to our side.
Mentioned in the clip is a scheduled appearance by environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill on Saturday, June 12 at 11:30AM at the Schlafly Tap Room in St Louis, Missouri. Hill became famous for living in a 1,500 year old tree in the Redwood Forest and has written the book, “The Legacy of Luna.”
The event includes vegetarian and vegan lunch and cupcakes from Sweet Art.
No word on if they’ll be fried but don’t count on it.
After staining swatches with compounds such as wine, blood and grass, the group tested 50 different detergents for their ability to clean and remove spots in conventional and high efficient washing machines.
“In conventional top loaders, there was barely a difference between the swatches washed in Martha’s detergent and those washed in plain water. The results from high-efficiency washers were only slightly better.”
Comments Off on Sunshine’s Real “Big Brother” Says Vegan Sister Survives On Pasta
Big Brother‘s vegan housemate Yvette Martyn has a real big brother looking after her.
Gwyn Martyn, a stockbroker, is confident his little sister will get along just fine, despite her dietary restrictions.
“They often have small budgets for food and people don’t often like making separate dishes for vegetarians,” he said, “but she is happy eating pasta, so hopefully she will be okay.”
Pasta’s not the refined starch carbohydrate monster it was labeled by the anti-veggie villains like proponents of low carb and high meat diets. Enriched grain pasta is not only low in sodium, it’s a great source of protein for vegetarians and provides a fantastic energy boost with its complex carbohydrates that are released slowly over time.

Comments Off on Rachael Ray, Elizabeth Kucinich On Childhood Nutrition Act Changes
Rachael Ray joined a bi-partisan group on Thursday to help unveil changes to the Child Nutrition Act.
The bill proposes that more students have more access to school meals, including breakfasts, and would extend the umbrella for assistance for low-income students, making it easier to access meals without the hassles of paperwork that might otherwise deny them based on a small margin declaring them ineligible. It would also extend school lunch programs during the summer for certain programs like camps in rural areas.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, said in a press release that although the program is a start, it doesn’t address the issue of high fat foods in school lunches or providing enough plant based options.
