Virtuous veggies
You’ve got to hand it to Sir Paul McCartney. He has written a gajillion hit songs, and he is committed to helping the world with his food choices. “If you want to save the planet, all you have to do is stop eating meat,” he says. “That’s the single most important thing you could do. It’s staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.” You go, Paul.

Mean-and-lean vegans
I’ve been pear-shaped since the day I was born, so, as much as I’d love to be called “skinny minny,” it isn’t going to happen. Ever. Still, the siren call from vegan bestsellers Skinny Bitch, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch and Skinny Bastard offers me some hope. Authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin promote eco-friendly eating, kindness to animals and healthful, enjoyable eating with organic fresh fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans and whole grains.
Book Coming in October, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook by Kim Barnouin.
Rationale The first books were eco-friendly and full of girl power and tough love at its toughest. The authors promoted animal rights via a diet that avoids meat and animal products like milk, eggs and honey. Barnouin explains that her new cookbook is a practical, comprehensive guide to vegan cooking sans processed food. The book’s subtitle sums it up: Crazy Delicious Recipes That Are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod.
Vegans Jessica Alba, Cindy Crawford, Eva Longoria Parker, André 3000.
