Comments Off on Mary McCartney PB & J Replacement–Peanut Butter & Pickle
Mary McCartney‘s favorite vegetarian snack is an old standby–peanut butter and jelly, something she learned to love from watching Sesame Street.
And although PB & J sandwiches make a great item to carry in school lunches, McCartney says she doesn’t force her lifestyle on her children, even though they have chosen to be vegetarian.
“They don’t have to be,” McCartney said. “It would be their choice. I don’t like to force it on people. I don’t like to be told what to do, so I don’t like to tell them what to do.”
PB & J may be older than Big Bird, but there are numerous variations of the sandwich you can try when things get boring.

Race car driver Leilani Munter comes in as the #1 eco athlete on Planet Green’s Planet 100.
“At number one, biology graduate turned race car driver, Leilani Munter is on a mission to ensure every race car uses clean, renewable biofuels and every race track has a recycling program. Self described “Vegetarian Hippie Chick,” Munter uses her celebrity status to inspire race car fans to make a difference. She is focused on getting the 135 million Indy and Nascar fans to recycle and use efficient bulbs—small actions that add up to big changes.”
Leilani’s a fantastic example of a green athlete, given her diet and environmental activism, but how did Hannah Teter not make the cut?

Comments Off on Bob Irwin Unhappy With Australia Treatment Of Dingos
Bob Irwin
Bob Irwin suffered a heart attack in March, and has used the opportunity to re-evaluate his priorities. The father of the late Steve Irwin says he wants to focus on environmental conservation and caring for injured wildlife.
One area of animal welfare that concerns him is Australia’s wild dogs, known as dingoes. Current laws prohibit people from feeding the dogs, citing that feeding them makes them less fearful of humans and more likely to attack. But Irwin is disturbed by the numbers of thin and malnourished dogs he sees and wants other options to ensure their health and survival.

Comments Off on Cat Cora Shrek Protein Smoothie With Soy Milk
Cat Cora has a morning regime we all could benefit from–breakfast that consists of vitamin rich fruits and vegetables, omega rich nuts and heart healthy soy.
“We do protein smoothies in the morning,” the chef told WebMD. “Here’s how to make them: Add some fresh baby spinach, frozen mango chunks, five or six almonds, a little soy milk, a little juice if you like, some protein powder, and blend it up. Delicious! We love it around the house. We call it a Shrek drink to get the boys to drink it. And they do!”
Might we suggest using Tony Gonzalez‘s All-Pro-Science vegan protein powder from hemp, pea and brown rice protein in Cora’s shake?

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Mark Bittman Says Meat, Oil Industry Are Twins
“Like oil, meat is subsidized by the federal government. Like oil, meat is subject to accelerating demand as nations become wealthier, and this, in turn, sends prices higher. Finally — like oil — meat is something people are encouraged to consume less of, as the toll exacted by industrial production increases, and becomes increasingly visible.”
—Mark Bittman, author who applies the eat vegan before 6:00PM approach to reduce his meat intake, in an New York Times article titled Rethinking the Meat Guzzler.

Comments Off on Russell Simmons Raises Funds For At Risk Students Over Vegan Dinner
Russell Simmons hosted an event in his home for two schools that provide environments for many African-American and Latino boys to succeed in an area where their educational outcomes aren’t always good. The event raised $250,00 for the Eagle Academy Foundation, which supports three New York City schools for the young men.
Providing the food was Acquolina Catering, which served fried tofu with cilantro sauce and Portobello burger and chocolate mousse–all vegan items.
Two of the schools boast an 85% graduate rate for the students, compared to the average of 50% for African-American and Latino men in other schools in the region.
