McDonald’s Germany is reintroducing its veggie burger.

The vegetable patty containing potatoes, carrots and peppers is a part of an overhaul on German McDonald’s menus to increase sales.

The veggie burger is expected to attract more women.

If Christian Serratos goes to Europe, maybe she’ll be Tweeting about meatless patties from the golden arches.

Travis McCoy has won a PETA Libby award for most animal friendly hip hop artist.

All those plugs on his Twitter about his latest vegetarian meal eaten paid off.

Travis has also starred in an anti-fur ad.

He failed, however, to stop Katy Perry from stuffing her face with pepperoni before the two broke it off.

Maybe Russell Brand will pick up where Travis left off.

“It’s shocking and disturbing. Everyone should know what’s going on in the food industry. It’s not about being a vegetarian or about eating meat. It’s about everyone joining together to change things.”

Dennis Kucinich & MPs Mark The 4th Anniversary Of Iraq War

Michelle Obama recently spoke about her initiative  to reduce obesity rates in children.

The administration is requesting $10 million dollars over the next decade to improve the school lunch program, which includes making more fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products available.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine advocates a vegan diet, and two of its representatives, nutritionist Kathryn Strong and public affairs director Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of representative Dennis Kucinich, have offered their insights.

Strong suggested that subsidies to the meat and dairy industries be cut. If these higher fat meat and cheese items aren’t as cheap, they may be less likely to be included as a regular option in schools.

Kucinich emphasized the value of healthy foods as preventative medicine for obesity related illnesses like diabetes.

“What is the cost to the nation if we don’t [consider it]?” she said, according to the Epoch Times.

Kucinich also emphasized that for some low-income children, the school meal might be the only meal they eat.

Dairy sensitivities and/or lactose intolerance is common in minority groups that are often over- represented in low income school districts.

A carton of soy milk replacing 2% on the lunch tray may give schools a better report card in future semesters.

Thandie Newton Vegan Detox Diva

'2012' Los Angeles Premiere

Thandie Newton‘s personal assistant is more useful than her husband.

Or, at least she finds time to speak to the assistant more often.

“She’s my right hand woman,” Newton said. “I hate to say it but we may actually text and speak more than my husband and I!”

According to Contact Music, she told Cosmopolitan magazine: “The most embarrassing thing I’ve asked her to do was to deliver some food for me last week on a shoot. I’m currently doing a detox and I feel like such a diva – not only having food delivered to the set, but also the fact that it was raw, vegan, had to be eaten within 24 hours… all this c**p!”

So much interaction between the two would obviously cause an occasional disagreement, but who would suspect a lover of compassionate food would be so mean to her assistant?

“We’re also very rude to each other on text – I called her a lying b***h the other day! If anybody read a transcript without knowing us, they’d think we were crazed!”

What was lying bitch assistant untruthful about?

The percentage of organic ingredients in Thandie’s protein bar?

Dr. Mehmet Oz Vegetable Secret

The International Consumer Electronics Show Highlights Latest Gadgets

Dr. Mehmet Oz loves his veggies!

In a 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me article in US Magazine, Dr. Oz reveals his favorite vegetable is okra.

He also divulged one of his favorite songs is by John Mayer.

Definitely TMI.

Besides okra, when Dr. Oz goes grocery shopping, he probably picks up other healthy items he recommended to Palm Beach Post, like ginger, yogurt with rich anti-oxidant blueberries, and colorful vegetables, which, according to Oz, the deeper and darker the color, the better.

Are these the items Rocco the meat eating cowboy ate during Dr. Oz’s mandated vegan diet?
