"I Like Food, Food Tastes Good"
I Like Food, Food Taste Good is a collection of recipes from bands that features an entire chapter on vegetarian main courses.
In fact, from glancing at the table of contents, it looks like meatless recipes make up about a 1/4 of the book.
The Night Before Mac-and-Cheese, Tofu Pot Pie, Semi Raw Everyday Pasta, The Karate Kid and Uncle Kyle’s Avocado Tacos all sound tasty with an interesting story.
Co-star Vir Das from his latest film, Badmaash Company, is responsible for the addiction.
While shooting for the film, the two would often go out for dinner together and the same cuisine always got suggested.
“It turned out to be a big hit with Shahid and every night they all went out to a new sushi place,” said a source.
“I don’t think Shahid had eaten sushi before. I took everybody to one of the best sushi places in Bangkok that had a wide vegetarian selection,” Vir said. “I love sushi. It’s healthy, it’s fast and tasty too.”
When making vegetarian sushi at home, don’t forget to peruse Mark Bittman’s tips for doing so.
“We contacted Starbucks yesterday and found out the crème base is a sugar syrup – – non dairy. (Calling it crème was a bit confusing to us so we had to ask!) Starbucks also verified that the whipped cream is dairy based. Additionally the caramel drizzle (on the Extra Coffee Caramel Frappuccino) is made with butter. So leave off the whipped cream and the caramel and the Frapps are vegan.”

Robert Capron may star in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but he’s tough as nails because he knows the cool thing to do is adopt a pet from a shelter versus buying from a store.
He and his family adopted a dog who was severely underweight and had experienced hair loss due to mange.
Capron said Sam, the dog, is happy as can be now, despite that fact he’s “been through so much.”
If you’re clueless as to where to find your next pet, just enter your zip code to be directed to the nearest animal shelter in your area.
At the request of the Dyersburg-Dyer County Humane Society, the ASPCA has arrived to provide much needed animal shelter supplies to the Nashville area.

Comments Off on PETA Grades Popular Diet Plans–South Beach Makes Honor Roll
South Beach Diet
Every vegan has one dairy free, coconut oil icing cupcake too many every now and then.
When it’s time to watch calories to lose a pound or two, you need to know what diet plans are veggie friendly.
PETA has graded several popular diets and the South Beach Diet comes out a winner receiving a “B” grade.
If South Beach prepared foods that didn’t contain dairy, it would have received and “A.”
Recipes like edamame salad and vegetarian chili are easy to veganize, and the South Beach plan is based on cooking at home.
Looks like Slimfast is going to have to repeat a grade or two, considering it was the only plan that received an “F.” Shakes and bars are BORING, plus there’s that whole 10 million shake recall from 2009 due to a bacteria issue.
