Comments Off on Gabriella Cilmi Worried About Coping On Leona Lewis Meat Free Tour
Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi has expressed concerns for the vegetarian menu Leona Lewis has put on her tour that she’ll be supporting.
Cilmi told Digital Spy:
“All I know so far is that the food’s going to be vegan, and I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with that. I’m not a huge meat-eater, but I need it sometimes for energy! I’m really excited about it actually, because they’re going to be the biggest venues I’ve done so far in the UK.”
Before Gabriella sticks her tongue out at veggie food, she should do her research in between those awesome Donna Summer moves she’s practicing for the stage.
Plant based protein can provide her with just as much, if even more energy as the chicken sandwich she’s used to munching on.
A McDonald’s hamburger, for example, contains 12 grams of protein, while a serving of seitan contains almost twice as much–22 grams!
Not to mention less than 2 grams of fat versus the 9 found in a burger, plus no cholesterol to keep Gabriella fitting into those sexy outfits that make you actually want to show up early for the opening act.

Comments Off on Leona Lewis Aims For Vegan Once A Week
You’ve heard of Meatless Mondays, a campaign encouraging people to eat vegetarian just one day a week.
Will we soon see a movement promoting less dairy and eggs, called Vegan Thursdays?
Leona Lewis told Modern Dog magazine that she eats vegan one day a week, in addition to being a vegetarian the other six days.
“I am a vegetarian. I don’t eat meat or any fish, and I do try to be a vegan at least once a week where I don’t drink milk or eat cheese or eggs. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was twelve.”
The dairy industry isn’t without environmental impact.
Research on Ireland farms found it takes 3.59 to 6.7kWh per cow each week for milking, with a large part of electricity use going towards cooling milk and heating water.
There are humane arguments to using less dairy, such as the conditions female cows in factory farms must endure when they are unable to move and forced to produce unnatural amounts of milk during their lifetime.
Will your next step in going green be to cut dairy during the week?

"Sweet Freedom" Ricki Heller
Ellen DeGeneres recently featured Ricki Heller‘s book, Sweet Freedom: Desserts You’ll Love Without Wheat, Eggs, Dairy or Refined Sugar, on her website.
When she’s not teaching or working as a part time cooking instructor and chef, this PhD in Modern American Literature blogs at dietdessertsndogs.
Although some might believe a vegan diet is exclusive, Heller believes its the only way of eating that can include the most people. Here’s what she’s has to say:
“Vegan food is more inclusive than non-vegan food. An omnivore can certainly join in on a vegan meal, but the opposite isn’t true. So presenting vegan recipes means presenting recipes anyone can enjoy.”
Desserts are the perfect example of vegan never leaving anyone out.
When was the last time you saw someone turn down a cupcake?
Some examples of Heller’s non dessert recipes, including veggie patties and kale and avocado salad, can be found here.

Comments Off on Miles Davis Nursed To Health By Cicely Tyson Diet And Finger Exercise Regime
Miles Davis
The Miles Davis exhibit “We Want Miles” is currently on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts at 1380 Sherbrooke St. W. in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The photography, art, album covers and artifacts of the famous trumpeter will be on display until August 29, 2010.
Miles and Cicely Tyson were married in 1981, and when Miles suffered a stroke and was temporarily unable to play the trumpet, Tyson mandated a vegetarian diet and Chinese medicine to put him on the road to recovery, according to the Vancouver Sun.
The combination of the diet and Tyson’s recommendations that Miles paint to exercise his fingers allowed him to recover and play again even though doctors were convinced his music career was over.
