The doctor is in and has given his expert opinion on whether tofu stir fry and coconut milk hinder the ability of athletes like Jon Fitch and Jake Shields to perform.

Medical columnist for MMA Junkie, Dr. Johnny Benjamin states: “As long as the total calorie intake remains constant between vegans and meat-eaters, it really doesn’t matter the source – where it’s plants or meat (we’re obviously not talking junk food here). Also, with the abundance of high-quality supplements and vitamins, ingesting the necessary amounts of amino acids and trace minerals is not very difficult for vegetarians.”

Meatless Mouthful–Benjamin Zephaniah On Why He Went Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 in Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

Benjamin Zephaniah

“It just comes from a love of animals really. I agree with a lot of people who talk about the health benefits and the planetary benefits of eating meat. But from all the shit I suffered when I was young – animals were always my friends. They didn’t judge me for my race, or for who I was. I hate it when people say things like “Hitler was an animal” – what animal? An animal wouldn’t do what he did!”

Emily Deschanel Pleads For Chimpanzees’ Retirement

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Emily Deschanel

Emily Deschanel has written to the director of the National Institutes of Health, asking him to return chimpanzees who were living at the Alamogordo Primate Facility in New Mexico before they were moved to an invasive research laboratory in Texas. The chimps were moved before the NIH agreed not to remove several dozen other chimpanzees from the sanctuary.

“I am thrilled that the National Institutes of Health has suspended plans to move the 186 chimpanzees who live at the Alamogordo Primate Facility to Southwest National Primate Research Center,” writes Deschanel.

“But I am concerned about the well-being of the 14 chimpanzees who were moved to Southwest before this decision was made. The aging chimpanzees were moved from near-retirement in New Mexico to a facility that conducts painful, invasive experiments on animals and has a long history of animal abuse.”
