In a new video from the satirical news network, “The Onion,” a (fake) FDA official has the solution to saving America’s health.

Just eat some f*cking vegetables every once in awhile, okay? That’s all there is to it.

“You just buy a bag of f*cking carrots and you eat them the way you normally would eat a package of hot dogs. Okay? If you usually stand in front of an open fridge shoving them in your fat face cold. Well, then just do that with a carrot.”

After several months of intensely investigating animal farms before penning the book, “Eating Animals,” Jonathan Safran Foer knew he needed to stay the course and eat vegetarian.

Convincing his dog to follow this same, animal and eco-friendly diet, however, may take some work.

Foer revealed to The Guardian, “I tried, but it just didn’t sit well with her stomach. I don’t feel guilty about it – dogs aren’t people.”

Jack LaLanne, a legendary fitness expert who followed a mostly plant-based diet during his lifetime, has died at the age of 96. LaLanne got interested in eating whole foods versus processed foods after hearing Dr. Paul Bragg, founder of the famous Bragg foods which include the soy sauce-like seasoning many vegetarians have come to love, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, speak.

During an interview, Lalanne talked in detail how meat and dairy were overrated in terms of nutrition.

Jack LaLanne: I use no milk of any kind. Anything that comes from a cow I don’t eat.

Russell Simmons is a thigh man. Or maybe a wing man. Dare we say a breast man?

He likes the taste of chicken, but as a vegan and someone who’s campaigned for better animal welfare standards at KFC, he won’t put his lips near one.

Instead he prefers to have faux chicken nuggets on top a bed of spinach, something he told The Skanner is his favorite meal.

“I like to put spinach on top of olive oil, and just let it wilt for a second. And then put vegan chicken nuggets on top of it. I’m not a big chef.”

Being the small-scale chef  he is, we’re guessing Russell buys frozen faux chicken nuggets. But if you like to wear that organic cotton apron a lot, try some of  the recipes that exist, using tofu, tempeh or seitan.

It should come from plants, according to Terry Walters, author of “Clean Start” and “Clean Food,” a book about eating seasonally. Walters is a food educator and on the board of directors at one of the largest urban organic farms in the United States.

“[Dark leafy greens] might not have as much calcium or minerals as a glass of milk,” said Terry, “But we are better able to access more minerals.”
