Vegetarian Star

If you’re uneasy about cooking meat for your friends and family because of your vegetarian ethics, just tell them if they pressure you into cooking for them, you’ll kill them.

Not with the butcher knife, but with e. coli and salmonella and all other conditions you can get from eating under cooked meat (heck, even cooked meat still carries those buggers around).

That’s what Carrie Underwood tells her meat eating family when it’s time to gather in the kitchen.

Daphne Oz

One of Daphne Oz‘s tips in her book, Dorm Room Diet, is to make breakfast the largest meal of the day.

In other words, eat like a Roman Gladiator would.

Scientists who’ve examined the skeletons of the soldiers discovered they were large beefcakes, but rarely ate animal proteins. Based on the levels of zinc and strontium in cells, experts are able to determine the diet of the deceased warriors. Because the Gladiators had higher levels of strontium and little zinc, it was determined they ate mainly vegetarian.

Yet, these guys were HUGE with strong bone density so it’s a safe bet they’re breakfasts consisted of high protein, good carbs and a decent amount of good fat like Oz’s super starter of the day meal, Gladiator Oatmeal.

“It’s devastating. You see them in the rain, you see them in the snow. You see them in traffic like a car. I wouldn’t go out in that weather. I wouldn’t walk around in it. But they have to. They’re animals. They’re not cars.”

—Lea Michele, during an interview with PETA on the conditions carriage horses work in in New York city. A group called NYCLASS agrees that horses who pull carriages aren’t cars. That’s why they’d like to replace them with real vehicles.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for not offering a vegetarian alternative to the food pyramid introduced by the USDA 20 years ago.

PCRM, a doctor’s group that advocates a plant-based diet, is proposing the Power Plate, which offers meal ideas from the four food groups of grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Unlike the food pyramid which recommends certain servings from each group, the Power Plate simply recommends eating from all groups every day and to include good sources of vitamin B12.

The Superbowl is about a month away and for those who enjoy the countdown, the National Football League has provided a nice stopwatch on its website.

What the NFL isn’t providing, however, is a recipe for healthy, vegetable chips to replace the salty ones in the bag you enjoy dipping while gulping down the vegan beer.

Robin Quivers and chef Gavan suggest making these from carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes and rutabagas–all fantastic tuber vegetables–as a great TV watching snack on Quivers’ web based series on vegan cooking, Vegucating Robin.

Plus, cool tips like right way to peel a vegetable and how to use a mandolin are included.

Back in April 2010 when she helped the Postal Service launch a pet adoption awareness stamp series featuring adopted animals, Ellen DeGeneres vowed to make the year even more friendly to shelter animals by donating one million meals to them if enough people bought the stamps.

That goal was reached just before Christmas last year.

“We are thrilled with the success of the campaign and the incredible number of supporters who helped us to achieve this goal,” Halo’s CEO Steve Marton said in a press release. “It’s our mission to make a real difference for pets.”

A total of 100 different shelters benefited from Halo’s and animal lovers’ generosity.
