Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegetarian (242)

Roger Ebert

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Forks Over Knives Nearest Theater

An extremely nifty tool was creator by one of Vegetarian Star’s Twitter followers @jrhicks.

The documentary that examines the claim that a plant-based diet can cure and reverse heart disease, Forks Over Knives, is out in select theaters across the United States. For some, it’s a matter of taking the train or driving a few miles, but for others, as the locator states, it’s a matter of “contemplating a road trip.”

At least that road trip is now a lot easier with detailed driving instructions, mileage, driving time and a map using Google Maps.

If you root, root, root for the home team and they don’t win, it’s a shame. If you’re hungry while your rooting for the home team because the only vegetarian item at the ballpark is the bottled water, that’s an even bigger shame.

But that’s not the case anymore. Some of the biggest major and minor league baseball teams play in veg-friendly ballparks. And PETA has just unveiled its annual list of best parks to score a meatless home run.

“Industrial animal production destroys everything it touches. It destroys the animals, it destroys the workers, it destroys the communities, and it destroys the people who consume the animal products… Unfortunately, the people who produce meat, the people who produce dairy, and the people who produce eggs – they’re lying to you. So do what you can, educate yourself, know where your food comes from, and then make the ethical choice.”

Moby, in a PSA against the large-scale industrial production of animal products for food.
