Here’s a video of her shooting for the ad, along with an interview with the vegetarian supermodel. When she’s having problems getting her kids to eat healthy, she likes to rename the foods to something fun. We’re sure she’s not using any names Stephen Colbert uses, though.
Speaking of milk, you vegans might have something to say about this.
Milk comes with controversy, both for animal rights and health reasons. Will there be a time when a Got Soy Milk? campaign gets going? Or Rice milk. Or almond milk. Who would you like to see wear a non-dairy milk mustache?
We’ve been talking about this Veggies For The Children moment for months! Since we’re so close to inducting the man featured on this video named Barack Obama, we thought we’d let you watch it.
Obama says that in the interest of full disclosure, he has to admit he likes a steak every once in awhile. And he’s not going to lie about barbecue either. But he realizes the importance of how a healthier diet, which includes more plant based items, can reduce rates of obesity related diseases like diabetes. He adds that it takes more grain to produce a pound of beef versus just eating the grain.
So it’s no surprise to hear that supermodel Christie Brinkley had power over her family when she decided to turn vegetarian as a teenager.
“I became a vegetarian when I was 13 and then got my entire family to become vegetarians,” she recently told PEOPLE when asked her secret to looking gorgeous at 54.
She was unveiling her new Got Milk? ad at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
She also said nutrition had always been important in her life as well as working out on her total gym.
No doubt her attention to nutrition is what kept her healthy and sane during her messy divorce to ex Peter Cook.
Dennis Palumbo at the Huffington Posthas blogged about how secrets are often uncovered in the lives of famous people posthumously.
There will always be the affairs, drug use, and what “really went on behind closed doors,” but who would have thought a group of vegetarian doctors would go and make a “tell all” case about the private health of a doctor who advocated a heavily meat based diet.
Dr. Atkins was famous for promoting a high protein, low carbohydrate, and mostly meat diet for weight loss and maintenance, but his health around time of death showed a pattern that suggested he died from more than natural causes.
Comments Off on Al Gore’s Big Green Balls: Serving Vegetarian Food At Inaugural Ball
To remake an ACDC song: “He’s got green balls. And she’s got green balls. But Al Gore’s got the greenest balls of them all.”
The Inconvenient Truth presenter will host a green inaugural ball tomorrow with locally grown food that includes vegetarian and vegan options cooked by chefs located right across the street (to reduce carbon emissions from vehicle traveling with the food).
Guests will walk on carpet made from recycled fibers, waste will be recycled and composted, and contributions will be made to Native American family farmers partaking in energy-conservation projects to offset carbon emissions.
Groups that are on the invite list include Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthjustice, Vote Solar Initiative and Youth for Environmental Sanity.
Some balls are held for charity. Some for fancy dress. But the balls held for the environment are the balls that we like best.
Although the Obama family has been thrust into the spotlight (and will no doubt remain there for at least four years), there’s one relative of Barack’s that has managed to avoid publicity.
But his privacy might not last long.
Mark Ndesandjo is the half brother of Barack Obama who has been living in Shenzhen, China, a city near Hong Kong, for the past seven years.
He’s vegetarian, but still helped start a chain of BBQ restaurants in China called Cabin BBQ.
He’s also an accomplished piano player, recently playing a charity concert to raise money for orphans in China, speaks Mandarin, and practices Chinese calligraphy. Working as a strategic marketing consultant by day, he’s finished an unpublished novel called “Nairobi to Shenzhen.”
Like hundreds of thousands of others, Ndesandjo’s making the trip to the U.S. capitol for his half brother’s inauguration on Tuesday.
You can view of photo of Mark playing the piano, and learn more about him at the Chicago Sun Times.
Angela Bassett plays Notorius B.I.G.’s mother in Notorious, which opened this past weekend, and looks like a hot momma on any given day.
She revealed to the LA Times how she keeps this up, especially when she’s filming for the big screen.
“I love vegan choices, raw food choices, and I’ll eat whatever I have to in order to get into whatever shape I need to get into for any one particular role,” she said.
So where does she go when she doesn’t want to cook for herself?
California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena is for cooks in training but don’t let that fool you. Basset said the food is great and she loves how the students are excited to put their “artistic twist on things.”
Presentation is just as important as taste for Bassett as she added that was a bonus for another one of her favorite restaurants at La Costa resort in Carlsbad.
“You want art in your food. I’m looking for complexity and taste. Not just “my body needs to eat,” you know?”
