“One of the reasons I wanted to do this cookbook is that after I was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, I changed the way I was eating because I wanted to have a pro-active part in my recovery, as well as my sustaining health and Chuck knew so much about it.”

—Sheryl Crow, on her new cookbook, If It Makes You Healthy, which she co-wrote with her personal chef, Chuck White. The cookbook happens to be vegetarian and vegan friendly. Inside, you’ll find recipes that call for soy crumbles and quinoa for protein, as well as vegan chocolate desserts. If you’re an omnivore who picked up the book thinking “healthy” meant lower fat cheese and leaner meats, don’t be afraid to try to veghead recipes. It just might be your Favorite Cooking Mistake.

Russell Simmons gave an exclusive interview to CNN’s Eatocracy where he shared his journey to veganism, including the delicious dairy-free and egg-free desserts he’s found on his way there.

Turns out, Simmons is a fan of Tofutti Ice Cream, a popular brand of soy desserts found in both natural and mainstream foods stores.

“[You can have] a really good vegan cheesecake or a really good cashew nut ice cream,” Simmons said, referring to the misconception that vegan desserts aren’t tasty.

“Soy ice cream is not bad. Tofutti Cutie is not bad. You can’t beat a Tofutti Cutie. You frontin’ if you say so. You know, the cream is not as creamy – someone might not notice it, or they might if they put them together. But you find the vegan cheesecake, if you digest it, it doesn’t stick in your chest the whole day. It might be a little lighter and taste a little better, but that takes a minute.”

Every year, businesses that use animals for entertainment or fashion like zoos, circuses and retail make millions of dollars. Many of these industries have histories of keeping these animals in less than ideal conditions, resulting in injuries, premature deaths and numerous safety issues for both animals and humans.

What if, instead of these businesses making money treating animals inhumanely, they generated ideas to attract people to pay money for animal causes that made a difference? That contributed to the conservation of species, ending the cases of abused animals and resulted in an educational setting that was both beneficial to humans and animals?
