Vegetarian Star

The last time we wrote about a singer crooning about veganism, it was Nora Jones who ultimately made the right decision because she chose an animal over some not so good man characters in her life–even if one was a vegan.

Poly Styrene, known for being the leader of the 1970s British punk rock group X-Ray Spex is back with a new album, Generation Indigo, and the vegetarian created a few friendly lyrics in ode to vegan shoes.

Listen for “I Luv Ur Sneakers” when the album hits the shelves in April.

Rachael Ray held her Feedback party at SXSW and according to Billboard, it took her forever to decide on what food to serve during the one night event. It’s an event so stressful, she can’t bring herself to decide what dishes will make the final cut.

“I can’t do the final round of eliminations,” Ray said. “It’s like ‘American Idol’ and I’m J. Lo, unable to make the unchosen food cry.”

In the end, a vegetarian chili with portabella mushrooms was voted safe for the evening and the Sanjaya dish that makes everyone hurl but somehow makes it back to the table went home.

In case you didn’t hear the good news, McDonald’s has been trumped as the #1 fast-food chain by Subway restaurants. Worldwide, Subway now has 33,749 restaurants while McDonald’s trails at 32,737. This means more places for a healthier sandwich loaded with fresh veggies and even a veggie patty at some locations. It also means that as a business, McDonald’s needs to kick up its game to stay nose to nose with its major competitor.

In a letter to James Skinner, CEO of McDonald’s Corporation, Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says McDonald’s can cut healthcare expenses for its employees (it’s been thinking of dropping healthcare altogether) if it puts them on the PCRM’s 21-Day Kickstart program.

Jonathan Safran Foer‘s non-fiction book on his investigation of factory farms is so convincing, even his publicist doesn’t cook as much meat as she used to. The Eating Animals author recently interviewed with Edible Manhattan where he shared the fact that although one of his most popular books is all about food, he can’t go anywhere near it to be productive.

“I have to go somewhere where there isn’t food or I wouldn’t get anything done,” Foer said.

Here are a few other highlights:

Farmers Won’t Eat The Hotdogs They Helped Create:
“I talked to many, many different kinds of farmers while doing my research and one constant, whether they were a small farmer or a factory farmer, was that they all said they would never eat a hot dog. It seems to me a pretty good idea not to eat things that farmers wouldn’t eat.”

New evidence that Americans are interested in eating less meat or adopting a plant-based diet has appeared in one of America’s favorite pastimes, baseball.

Fifth Third Ballpark, located in Comstock Park, Michigan, a suburb of Grand Rapids and home to the minor league baseball team West Michigan Whitecaps, is adding a veggie and hummus plate to its concession stand menu called “Chicks With Sticks.”

The dish beat out the meaty “Lollipop Bologna,” “Duck Frog Hot Dog” and “The Meat Salad” in a vote by Whitecaps fans.
