Comments Off on Gordon Ramsay–“Gordon’s Great Escape” Insults
Gordon Ramsay‘s reality TV show that featured him touring India, Gordon’s Great Escape, was supposed to highlight Indian food while positively exposing the rich culture of the country.
But things took a negative turn when more than 100 viewers complained about Ramsay’s behavior from a recent episode of Great Escape, which featured him making fun of both Indian culture and vegetarian food.
The F Word and Hell’s Kitchen star met a chef who tried to teach him to cook vegetarian.
However, he failed to show respect for both Indian vegetarian food and culture.
Ramsay, who claimed he had never eaten a dish without meat said, “When I first saw him I thought he was Father Christmas. But I don’t dig all the stuff about the food. I respect carrots, fine, but they’re not living to keep us happy.”
One reader wrote in response to Gordon’s behavior on OneIndia.com: “I thought Gordon’s Great Escape was offensive and disrespectful! The Father Christmas comment about the guru was uncalled for. His swearing was disgusting.”
Comments Off on Alicia Silverstone Oprah Winfrey–Vegan Recipes
She’s mentioned before she wants to see Oprah naked, but chatting with her via satellite is almost as good.
Alicia Silverstone will have a segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday January 27.
Silverstone has briefly blogged on her website, TheKindLife, what you should expect.
“I was so excited and overwhelmed, it was such a blur! I think she asked me about poop… Needless to say, we laughed a lot!”
Silverstone says she’ll be demonstrating several recipes from her cookbook, The Kind Diet–the Cheesy, Oozy Guacamole Bean Dip, Artichoke, Mushroom, and Leek Crostini with Pesto, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.
If you haven’t bought The Kind Diet, watching this segment will have you running, biking or driving your hybrid to the bookstore in 24 hours!
Dr. Phil gave both some food voyeurism into one of his latest meals as well as some advice about repelling mosquitoes in a recent Tweet.
The food sounds great, but the anti bug biting advice…not so great.
“Jordan chks in: About to dine on a veggie lasagna MRE. Ate two match heads Army guys say sulfur keeps Mosquitos off of u.”
According to Backpacker magazine, the advice about eating match heads should be taken out by a grenade:
“It’s a myth. Matches contain poisonous chemicals in addition to sulfur. Save them for cooking dinner and not your intestines.”
Yikes!
But those vegetarian MREs made especially for the troops sound delish!
What are the options for a vegetarian defending his or her country?
The Epic Center showcases a variety of ready to eat meals the United States military provides to their service members and at a glance, the variety is impressive.
Veggie burgers, vegetable lasagna, vegetarian chili with beans and veggie crumbles over pasta with marinara sauce.
Beans, cheese and faux meat will satisfy some, but where’s the tofu, fruit and soy milk?
And are any of these entrees vegan for our egg and dairy free soldiers?
Still waiting for Dr. Phil to update his Twitter about the taste.
Comments Off on Ginnifer Goodwin Veggie Aha! Moment
Ginnifer Goodwin‘s story of veganism is featured on Oprah Winfrey‘s website in the Aha! Moment section where celebrities discuss memorable moments or make crucial decisions in their lives.
Goodwin says growing up she always considered the animals on her grandmother’s farm as family
But her Aha! moment came when she realized over breakfast she could no longer consume those animals.
“For most of my life I naively lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets; a family dinner always meant steak. Then one day a year and a half ago, it hit me over the head while I was making a hearty breakfast that it wasn’t, in the grand scheme of earthly things, intended for me. What would happen to my body, to my soul, if I did not consume an animal or anything taken from an animal? So I educated myself. I relinquished the safety blanket of my ignorance.”

Comments Off on Brandon Routh Explains Vegan Powers–Scott Pilgrim V The World
As previously mentioned, Brandon Routh is playing Todd Ingram, one of the evil ex boyfriends Scott Pilgrim fights in the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
Ingram is a vegan, so it’s hard to imagine him as “evil.”
It was previously thought that Ingram had only vegan mind reading powers, but Routh is now explaining that he’s given telekinetic powers–and smacks Scott around with them.
Here’s Routh explaining a little more about his role:
“I play Todd Ingram in the film. The film stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, and he has to defeat seven evil exes of Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, in order to continue dating her. The seven exes basically challenge Michael, and I play one of them. I’m a vegan rock star with a blonde wig. Because I’m vegan, I have these special powers, the power of telekinesis. So, I end up having this huge bass battle with Michael Cera, as we’re playing dueling bass guitars, and I throw him around telekinetically threw walls and such. And my blonde wig becomes a faux-hawk whenever I use my powers, and then flattens back down when I’m not using them.”
Wouldn’t you love to use telekinetic powers to throw the person who put chicken broth in your restaurant made vegetable soup?
