Vegetarian Star

Bill Clinton is keeping a vegetarian vow after embracing the diet to lose a few pounds for daughter Chelsea’s wedding.

Page Six reports that the former president of the United States was spotted eating a veggie burger at Babette’s in East Hampton, New York. And let’s hear it for Hillary, who chose the falafel instead of meat as well.

“He was sitting in a corner banquette, eating a veggie burger and a mountain of vegetables. He was with Hillary, who had a falafel plate, and her mother, Dorothy Rodham, who ate French toast. Hillary kept her sunglasses on throughout the meal, and a security guard stood outside the bathroom near their table.”

In case you haven’t heard, New York vegetarian restaurant owner Amanda Cohen did broccoli well on an episode of Iron Chef America that aired this weekend. The secret ingredient could be found paired with a crispy, orange tofu, which one judge said tasted, “nothing at all like the tofu I made when I was a teenager, when I was a strict vegetarian.”

Ironically, another judge liked the tofu and everything else but the secret ingredient. “I’m not so found of the broccoli.”

Sigh…You can’t please everyone.

Carol Alt recently premiered her vegan skincare line, RAW Essentials, on Shopnbc, where customers can shop and interact via various electronic media including online, mobile devices and cable and satelite TV. Alt’s line, including cleansers, hand and foot care, anti-aging products and more are free of synthetic chemicals, parabens, vegan and not tested on animals.

It’s unknown if Alt demanded the products be cruelty-free or if the company that wanted her name behind them insisted. It’s not as if Alt is cruelty-free in other areas of her life. Earlier this year, she attended the Dennis Basso fur show with attire fit for the event’s theme.

Still, with a matching hand and foot cream for roughly $25, RAW Essentials offer another alternative to synthetic cosmetics that, unlike Alt, don’t contain any fur.

Marion Nestle

“Wouldn’t it be nice if this group also said: “Producers are reminded that properly taking care of hens and diligently following food safety plans should help prevent food-borne illness. The Egg Safety Center urges egg producers to immediately implement the FDA’s new regulations for preventing Salmonella that went into effect on July 9.”

—Marion Nestle, New York University professor and author of several best-selling books about nutrition, including Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, Safe Food: The Politics of Food Safety, What to Eat and Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine.

Nestle gave this response after learning what the Egg Safety Center recommended for preventing illness from eggs possibly contaminated with salmonella. The Safety Center’s response, which mainly deals with properly cooking eggs, can be viewed below.

Awhile back the Daily Mail published a story on how Brad Pitt was disgusted by Angelina Jolie‘s meat-a-day habit and wanted the children to stop eating so much steak. Sure, it sounded like a tabloid rumor, but now Starpulse has published a quote from Jolie on how she used to be a vegan.

“I joke that a big juicy steak is my beauty secret,” Jolie said. “But seriously, I love red meat. I was a vegan for a long time, and it nearly killed me. I found I was not getting enough nutrition.”

This must be her secret to retiring early, cause red meat as a prophylactic will do nothing but send her screen career down the tubes if she’s unlucky enough to be stricken with illness. More studies are linking red and processed meats with cancer more often than actors and actresses hook up and break up.

If the land of veggies is giving you problems in nutrition land, we’ve said it before, now we’ll scream it again.

Meatless The Movie

When Miami-based surfer Shane Close decided to give up meat, he picked up the camera and added indie film maker to his CV of web developer and president of Surfrider Foundation. During his transition, he learned a lot of secrets of the obstacles some vegetarians and vegan face (like finding true vegan beer or whether or not to eat the sugar processed with bone char dilemma), but picked up some handy tips along the way, like having a better bathroom experience.

From Broward Palm Beach:

BPB: What physical changes have you noticed?
SC: Two things: One, I don’t feel heavy and sluggish when I get up from the table, and two, I am getting so much fiber I’m as regular as anybody could ever be. Sorry, I don’t know how to say that delicately!

BPB: Dude, that is too much information!
SC: Hey, whatever gets people’s attention.

Now that that’s gotten your attention, take a look at a clip of Close on his way to ask permission to film the vegetarian festival and feast at the Hare Krishna Temple in Coconut Grove, Miami for Meatless and learn about his blog below.
