Vegetarian Star

Two different vegans are representing some very good causes this fall. Emily Deschanel just gave her approval of World Go Vegan Week, which begins on October 24th and is mean to celebrate how a completely plant-based diet improves conditions for humans, the planet and animals.

Ellen DeGeneres is the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey event, which raises money for rescued turkeys at the sanctuary.

Between the two incredible vegan spokespersons, who would you rather…

Joanne Rose

Joanne Rose appeared as a guest on The Jazzy Vegetarian‘s vegan radio show to discuss her web video series, “Vegan 101,” which launched the first episode as a humorous take on vegans dating, “Dating a Vegan.”

Rose has a new ecookbook out, Living In Harmony, which is a gluten-free, vegan recipe book available on the internet, at Veganvision.net.

“It’s makes it more green and easy for everybody to have access to,” Rose said.

Rose shared her recipe for Coconut Yogurt, which uses a Thai coconut, probiotic and flavors to suit your taste like fruit or chocolate.  Listen to the radio show to hear Rose discuss how to make it.

The interview begins around minute 12:00.

A behind the scenes interview with Jillian Michaels as she films an ad for So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage’s “Change Your Milk. Change Your Life,” campaign.

Michaels will be representing the vegan beverage, with the campaign to launch next year.

Michaels discovered the beverage while looking for non-dairy, milk alternatives in the grocery store and was impressed by the drink’s nutritional benefits, as well as the company’s ethics.

“I read the label, I scrutinized it from top to bottom and I compared it to every single thing on the shelf from dairy to non-dairy products. What I particularly loved were all the health benefits. No pesticides. The coconuts are no genetically modified in any way. In addition, there’s Vitamin D, there’s calcium, there’s medium chain fatty acids, which are great for your heart health, its low in calories…”

Is this why some of calling coconut the new soy?

Bobby Flay is hesitant to put veggie burgers on the menus of his restaurants because he feels he doesn’t know how to prepare them to be palatable. However, keeping his word that he is “sensitive to vegetarian needs,” Flay will be adding a vegetarian dish to the menu at Bar Americain Mohegan Sun in Uncassville, CT. And no, the dish isn’t just steamed broccoli.

“We need to be addressing the ratio of animal products, processed foods and outright junk we eat compared with plants. It’s pretty simple: Each of us should examine our diet and adjust it accordingly. Ideally, we’d get 90 percent of our calories from plants, and the rest from everything else. Many of us have that ratio completely reversed. It’s just a matter of moving in the right direction.”

—Mark Bittman, author and promoter of his “vegan until 6” philosophy, where he doesn’t consume any animal products until after 6 PM. Of course, getting 100% of your calories from plants wouldn’t be bad either.

The Biggest Loser coach discovered the beverage in 2009, and has been a loyal fan ever since.
