I had no idea James Cameron was vegan!

Just like the title says I had no idea James Cameron was a vegan. Here is a short video of him talking about the moment he made the conscience decision to be a vegan. He also mentions Forks Over Knives which I saw and it influenced me to to take a hard look at my food choices and how that food got to my plate. Since watching FOK I've seen other documentaries like Vegucated, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, and Hungry For Change which validated my decision to eat plant based foods and beverages. Once you see how animals are treated and killed it really makes you question your diet. I also saw some undercover footage at a turkey farm that will make you sick and cry :(

Ok back to James Cameron talking a little bit about becoming vegan:

Justin Timberlake's Bring It On Down To Veganville

Last night's SNL was super funny and one of my favorite skits was "Bring It On Down To Veganville". Justin was dressed as a block of tofu (hopefully it was Non-GMO ;) and with his big Mickey Mouse hands he was singing a bunch of pop songs and Bobby Moynihan's character was trying to get people over to his restaurant The Sausage Depot. Clearly Justin was grooving and always a favorite of mine.

Check out the clip and enjoy!

Ron Finley is the Guerilla Gardner

I have to share this video with you. It's about Ron Finley who lives in South Central LA and plants vegetable gardens in his neighborhood. I know you probably think it's not a big deal but it is. He is doing something about the health problems in his hood. He is teaching people how to grow their own food and that's a big deal. So sit back watch this video and think about where your food came from.

I hope this empowers you to plant some shit! Support Ron and follow him on twitter!

Austin Veg Trucks

The Austin Chronicle wrote an article about vegan and vegetarian food trucks that I think you might be interested in. I like this list because it gives me an opportunity to drive around Austin and eat some delicious vegan food! If you are in town this week for SXSW or not take this list and use it as a guide to fill your empty belly :)

Have a Great Weekend!
