Comments Off on Jim Kerr Of Simple Minds Needs “Living Vegan For Dummies”
Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr may be excited to start a brand new solo career at the age of 50, but he still feels like crap on an everyday basis.
The former husband of Chrissie Hynde whom he has one daughter with, recently admitted there’s something about his vegan diet that’s not going so well.
“I feel like sh*t,” he told the Times Online. “Don’t be fooled by appearances. I’ve been vegetarian since the night I met Chrissie Hynde but I was still eating fish. So at Christmas I gave up fish, I gave up dairy, I gave up coffee and now I feel like crap.”
Could Jim have benefited from picking up a copy of Living Vegan for Dummies?
The book serves as an all in one guide for starting the lifestyle, from recipes to pantry stocking to fake meats.
It even comes with a convenient cheat sheet for speaking the vegan language.

Lucy Clarkson formerly posed as a model for Lara Croft, a character known for raiding ancient tombs and ruins, but she’s not likely to raid the ancient caveman’s closet for his fur shawl.
Clarkson took the time to pose in nothing more than a painted on suit to protest the use of using real bear fur in the Queen’s guards’ hats.
A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence has commented on the use of bear fur in the hats and on the possibility of using fake fur in the future.

Comments Off on Erin McKenna “Baby Cakes” Owner Knows Vegan Muffins Aren’t Cheap

Although Erin McKenna may run the very popular and successful BabyCakes Bakeries in New York and California, home to the vegan, gluten-free and mostly sugar free desserts, she didn’t always have the vegan dough to put out for buying all the ingredients when experimenting in the kitchen.
According to a recent story in LA Weekly, McKenna worked three jobs as a waitress, had no credit and no money to put down to purchase products while she formulating her recipes for the restaurant.
So if anyone is ever upset that a spelt or gluten free Red Velvet Cupcake costs $4.25, it’s not like she’s not feeling your pain.
The baker who’s treats were voted best by New York Magazine said, “People get upset because they think it’s really expensive,” adding that prices will come down once more people get on the healthy eating bandwagon.
Yes, we are all looking forward to the day when dairy-free, gluten-free muffins can be bought for $2 from the vending machine just like the ones that guy name Otis makes.

Comments Off on “Chuck” Season Finale–Joshua Gomez Isn’t “Lapsed Vegetarian” In Real Life
The Chuck Season Finale was divided into two parts: “Chuck Versus the Subway” and “Chuck Versus the Ring, Part 2.”
When Joshua Gomez‘s character, Morgan, and a few other guys learn they’re going to face some pretty bad guys and might have to use a gun, they argue over who should do so. Awesome can’t because he’s a doctor designed to save lives, but Morgan is a “lapsed vegetarian.”
Presumably, while he’s going to McDonald’s during his Buy More computer store breaks, using violence or ending another life may not be as traumatic during the “lapsed” stage.
In real life, Gomez is not a lapsed vegetarian (last we heard), and prefers his veggie burgers microwaved.
