Vegetarian Star

Heather Mills has temporarily closed her vegan cafe in Hove, East Sussex, V Bites, with sources saying the staff has been placed on winter break and will return to operations in the spring.

According to the Daily Mail, a sign on the door of the restaurant reads, “VBites is ­having its end-of-summer ­holiday from Saturday, ­September 11. We’ve been working hard and it’s been our pleasure to serve you over the summer. We’d like to thank all our ­customers and friends and look forward to seeing you again soon when we re-open.”

Does this mean Heather’s business isn’t doing as well as she predicted?

It depends on who you speak with.

Bob Harper has teamed up with Quaker Oats to give three people an opportunity for some one on one advice from him as well as a pantry stocked full of breakfast food.

From now until October 8, people may visit www.Facebook.com/Quaker or Quakeroats.com to enter the Quaker Amazing Mornings Contest. Three winners will receive a visit from Harper who will counsel on their exercise activities, a two month’s supply of Quaker oatmeal products, plus four weekly visits from a registered dietitian.

“It’s time for Americans to re-prioritize their mornings – and eating a healthy breakfast should be a top priority for both children and adults,” said Harper. “We all know breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day, which is why I’m so excited to work with Quaker to help more Americans jumpstart their morning routines.”

KT Tunstall is the latest celebrity to comment on the Lady-Gaga-Meat-Dress-Saga. Yes, amazingly enough, that is still considered news.

Tunstall says that while she understands why vegetarians and vegans are so upset, Gaga’s dress worn for the cover of Vogue Japan isn’t much different from people wearing leather.

“As soon as I saw it, I thought, what is the difference between that and leather? Animals die needlessly for leather all the time.”

“I haven’t heard a legitimate reason why anyone would be offended by her wearing meat, except for vegans angry about animals being killed, which is fair enough.”

Tunstall, a pescatarian, recently took her own hit of controversy with vegetarians when she ate black pudding, a dish made of congealed pig’s blood.

A little steak on the hips. Pig’s blood to the lips. Can we all agree to aim to stop using animals for human purposes period and call it a day?

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if one of the most popular former presidents of the United States was a spokesperson for the vegetarian and vegan diet? Well, he practically is.

As reported earlier, Bill Clinton has been sticking to a mainly vegetarian diet (he says once in awhile he’ll eat fish, but not very often) since discovering it worked so well for his weight loss before Chelsea’s wedding. In an interview for Yahoo News and the Huffington Post, Clinton brings up a study he read that showed people who followed a vegan diet and put no added cholesterol into their bodies from animal products had some pretty good health outcomes.

“Since 1986, several hundred people who have tried essentially a plant based diet–not ingesting cholesterol from any source–have seen their bodies start to heal themselves,” Bill said.

Whitney Port, narrator and cast member of The City and known for her role in The Hills, discovered even a restaurant known for its burgers can whip up something creative sans flesh.

Port dined with friends at Bill’s Bar & Burger in New York, but while her company ate burgers and wings, Port reportedly enjoyed the veggie burger without sauce.

Does this mean Port’s not a fan of roasted red pepper? Cause we sure are and think some homemade pepper sauciness would go great over a homemade veggie burger.

The Market Veggie Burger on Bill’s Menu contains lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese and roasted red pepper sauce.

Jonathan Safran Foer is on tour to promote his only work of non-fiction, Eating Animals, a book that explores factory farming and vegetarianism.

Foer’s stop at Harvard was accompanied by an interview with the The Crimson, where Foer gave a statistic about who’s going meatless in the college population.

“Eighteen percent of college students describe themselves as vegetarians,” Foer said. “There are more vegetarians than Catholics in college. In college campuses, it is so unremarkable to be a vegetarian. It’s a kind of aspirational identity. That’s the reason to be most hopeful.”

Jillian Michaels is asking parents to join her in writing to their representatives in Congress in support of H.R 5504, the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act.

The bill would make more plant based meals available to students, as well as more fresh fruit and vegetables, improve safety conditions and make more children eligible for free or reduced lunch. The points are highlighted on the house.gov blog and include just a few of the following.

• Establishing more farm to school programs and school gardens to connect children to local produce.

• Improving food safety requirements in school settings, including better training for food service workers on food safety and quicker recall notification of foods.

• Enroll children in school lunch programs through Medicaid/SCHIP data instead of requiring extra applications.

The bill also wants to provide the first increase in reimbursement for meals in 30 years–by a rate of 6 cents per meal.
