A White House Garden Cookbook

A White House Garden Cookbook

A new cookbook is set to roll out this month that features the chefs from the White House sharing favorite recipes created from vegetables from the White House South Lawn garden.

A White House Garden Cookbook keeps Michelle Obama‘s standards for focusing more on plants to reduce childhood obesity and other healthcare issues.

One deliciously sounding recipe features not only plant based protein of garbanzo beans, but a vegetable broth based soup topped with soy sour cream.

There was the satire version of The Last Supper involving vegan Judas (of course the non meat eater is portrayed as the evil, traitor).

Now PETA is promoting another veggie version of the meal featuring Jesus and the disciples, this time putting Paul McCartney and Pamela Anderson at the table, an exhibit on display at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Pamela is, as would be expected, revealing more skin than Paul.

“The Diner” was created inside a 28 foot 1955 Airstream trailor by a University of Texas at Dallas professor. One side of the trailor features The Last Supper scene, while visitors can take a look on another to view pictures of factory farms.

“If I was just another vegetarian, tree hugging, biology graduate asking people to give up meat and stop using plastic bags, I don’t know how many people would be listening to me. But because I drive a race car, I have an ability to reach a new audience of people that most environmentalists are probably not talking to.”

—Leilani Munter, (from Savings) race car driver who’s publicly spoken out about environmental and vegetarian issues, and often incorporates green themes into her racing, such as placing recycled bins at the track and selling t-shirts made with recycled materials.

Leilani recently took the time to record a PSA on the oil spill in the Gulf Coast. Sure hope her influence helps prevent a catastrophe like this again.

Vegan chef Christina Pirello took to the Huffington Post to discuss how fast food companies like McDonald’s have lured children into their restaurants through the use of clever, cheerful marketing and a few plastic toys here and there.

“Since the Happy Meal hit the menu under the Golden Arches, childhood obesity has ballooned from 4.2% to 17%, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This hugely successful public relations brainstorm, linking cheap food with cheap toys (which actually dates as far back as free junk toys in Cracker Jacks and cereal boxes and on top of Ovaltine jars) led corporation after corporation to see the opportunity to make money off your kids’ desires. Before long, all that disposable plastic junk found its way into almost every bag of high-fat, high-sugar meal while hawking the movies your kids are dying to see.”

EOS Organic Lip Balm

EOS Organic Lip Balm

Stars who attend the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6 at the Gibson Amphitheatre can grab a swag bag containing EOS Organic Lip Balm to keep their kissables moist during the event and when they return home.

The balm is made from 95% organic ingredients, and like other EOS (Evolution of Smooth) products, contains no parabens, petrolatum or phthalate. There’s no gluten either, so you can lick, lick away at the three flavors of  pomegranate raspberry, vanilla bean and sweet mint if you’re avoiding that ingredient too.

Besides the lip balm, the MTV Movie Awards gift bags will contain EOS ultra-moisturizing shave cream and smooth sphere lip balm with SPF 15.

EOS products are not tested on animals.
