This semester, there is one fewer option for vegan and vegetarian Ohio Universitystudents eating at The District on West Green.

At the beginning of the 2016-17 academic year, The District, also commonly referred to as Boyd Dining Hall, provided different tofu options and vegan chicken created to accommodate the vegan and vegetarian student population at the make-your-own-sandwich station called "Between the Bread." However, OUCulinary Services has removed the vegan-friendly hot sandwich options this semester.

The change has students like freshman Azure Moon wondering why Culinary Servicesmade that particular choice.

I was disappointed to see them go, Moon, who is studying entrepreneurship, said. Boyd has the best vegan options, even without the sandwiches.

Due to the less-than-1-percent consumption rate among students, the vegan items were removed at Between the Bread because of a weak demand, Dan Pittman, an OU spokesman, said.

However, we have increased vegan options throughout the other concepts at The District. For example, we offer six different varieties of hummus daily at our Destinations concept, Pittman said in an email.

Pittman explained how Culinary Servicesuses other stations at The Districtto accommodate those who are vegan. Those options include vegan chicken strips and plain tofu at the Noodled station, white bean meatballs and whole sweet potatoes at the Carvers Cut station and spiced lentils and vegetarian ratatouille at Destinations.

As a vegetarian for three years, Jensen Tata, an undecided freshman, said she goes to The District every day and used to always get the vegan chicken as it was one of her favorite options.

I think (the removal of those options is) ridiculous, Tata said. They didn't just remove the options but they removed them and replaced them with only meat replacements. It is very disappointing.

As for the other dining halls, vegan and vegetarian options are also available.

Vegan and vegetarian eating is a hit or miss at dining halls. Nelson has a lot of options, so that is nice, but it's not usually the best, Tata said. Probably Shively now has the best options, but they aren't always healthy. Boyd's pasta can easily be made vegan and vegetarian, but there isn't a lot of protein in that.

There is hope for those who are looking to bring a hot sandwich option back into their diet.

Every semester we are looking at new menu options to meet the need of our customer base, Pittman said in an email. We do not plan on changing the hot sandwiches for fall semester 2017 but will be looking for spring semester 2018.

Although some students seem to be disappointed about the change, Pittman said Culinary Services has not heard any formal complaints about the removal of the options.

My suggestion to Between the Bread would be to offer one or two vegan sandwich bases at all times, rather than having them as specials, Moon said. That way, vegans know they will always have an option.

How to do SOBEWFF like a vegan or vegetarian - Miami Herald

Using nuts, soy and seasonings ranging from sriracha to Old Bay, home cooks and caterers alike brought their creamiest, cheesiest entries to the Vegan Mac and Cheese Smackdown.

Organizers estimated as many as 3,000 attendees came out for the second annual event, held Saturday afternoon at Baltimore City Community College, to sample from 28 cooks. The cookoff was part of the inaugural Baltimore Vegan Weekend, a series of events throughout the city celebrating vegan cuisine.

The event drew both repeat and new contestants, as well as a number of first-time attendees.

The people's choice winners from last year's smackdown, who call themselves Flying Pig Labs, returned with a slightly modified recipe. Wife and husband P. Jeanie and Doug Ciskowski of Southern Maryland have been vegans for 30 and 17 years, respectively. Jeanie entered the contest last year after spending about a month developing her recipe.

"You need a smooth-melting cheese and a sharp flavorful cheese," she said. She uses Daiya, a brand free of dairy, gluten and soy, to achieve the creamy texture, and her own cultured cashew cheese for the sharp, cheddar-like punch.

This time she used a bit more cashew cheese in her bid to defend the couple's title.

Other contestants, like Rebecca Daniels-Smith of Prince George's County, were entering for the first time. Daniels-Smith went vegan about 18 months ago and has worked on a perfecting a simple white cheddar-style mac and cheese over that time. Her entry, VGGF (Vegan Geek's Gluten Freeks) centered on gluten-free macaroni and Miyoko's Kitchen cashew cheese, a vegan mozzarella.

"I found this vegan mozzarella cheese, and it became like the holy grail of all recipes because you can do anything with it," Daniels-Smith said.

A panel of judges picked their favorites in eight categories, including best-from-scratch, most-like-grandma's and gluten-free.

Saturday's event marked the second time Pep Foods Inc., a local vegan collective, and Baltimore Vegan Drinks hosted the mac-and-cheese cookoff, which attracted more than 1,000 people in 2016.

Brenda Sanders, one of the event's organizers, attributed the event's growth to the allure of the vegan lifestyle.

"Folks are just ready to try something different. People are ready to get healthier, people are ready to change what they've been doing and do something a little different," Sanders said. "This whole health movement is really picking up steam in Baltimore right now."

The vegan lifestyle was new to Kevin Braughton, 43, who attended the event with his children Holly, 8, and Alec, 6. They adopted veganism as a family at the start of the year.

Braughton, a Severna Park resident, said the transition to vegan eating has been easy.

"Once you get over the first two times, 'Gosh, I wish I had a cheeseburger,' you begin to realize how much other food is out there and how enjoyable it is," he said. "And the more you eat it, the more you end up craving that rather than some of the old stuff."

Longtime vegetarians, like Howard University student Rachel Kenlaw, turned out for the smackdown, too. Kenlaw, 21, was raised on a vegetarian diet and said she eats mostly plant-based foods now.

"This excited me because everyone likes mac and cheese, and I'm starting a health and wellness-type blog because of the position I'm in at my school, and I was like, this is the perfect place to try some new things out," she said.

She tried eating meat for a few years, she said, but switched back to a mostly plant-based diet in college.

"I saw how my body reacted to [a plant-based diet] and I was healthier and I was actually getting sicker when I was eating meat," she said.

Baltimore's Vegan Weekend kicked off Friday with an informal restaurant crawl, and included events to celebrate vegan cuisine. After the mac-and-cheese competition, Pep Foods and Baltimore Vegan Drinks were scheduled to host an after-party at Thrive Baltimore, Pep Foods' new event space and community resource center.

Events continue Sunday . Five restaurants, Harmony Bakery and Cafe, Land of Kush, NuBohemia Cafe, One World Cafe and Red Emma's Coffeehouse and Bookstore, are hosting vegan brunches. And Paulie Gee's Pizzeria and Bar will also host a vegan pizza fest from noon to 4 p.m. The Hampden restaurant will serve at least 12 specialty vegan pizzas, plus appetizers and desserts.

Second annual Vegan Mac and Cheese Smackdown grows in Baltimore - Baltimore Sun

Popular UK fashion brand Illamasqua is forcing its customers to take an anti-fascism pledge to purchase its products. In the pledge, prospective buyers must vow to accept responsibility on challenging social and climate issues and actively promote social justice, which it refers to as Human Fundamentalism.

The vegan brand, which produces makeup and perfumes, says that it believe[s] in the freedom of expression, quality and diversity and expresses horror at President Donald Trump. The company says it refuses to remain silent while extreme right-wing populism gains momentum wherever it is happening.

In a post on the companys official blog, Illamasquas founder Julian Kynaston says that the company will never knowingly sell our products to people who support President Trumps values, which includes anyone who supports Trump and anyone who sympathizes with his views on immigration and climate change.

To be part of our community, and to buy our products, you must first pledge to Human Fundamentalism values:

Illamasqua admitsthat it cant really stop anyone from buying what it sells, but that no matter how hard some people work to make themselves beautiful, make-up can never hide the ugliness inside and states inno uncertain termsthat anyone who disagrees with the pledge should take their business elsewhere.

So please, if you dont agree with the aboveDONT BUY US, reads the statement by the Illamasqua founder.

The companys forceful statement was met with celebration from social justice warriors, who cheered the company with positive responses in the comments beneath the post.

Well done. Thank you for being in the right side of history, wrote one commenter.

This is wonderful, as a long time brand cheerleader, this makes my heart sing, wrote another. Love and compassion is true beauty.

Illamasqua is not brave, and the risk-free statement is unlikely to come at any cost to its bottom line. Given that it only sells vegan products, the statement will do little to ruffle the feathers of any of its buyers, who mainly identify as progressive leftists.

Vegan Fashion Brand Illamasqua Forces Customers to Take Anti-Trump Pledge - Heat Street

Purple Sprout, a caf and juice bar serving organic and vegan fare, opened in Wheeling in November 2015, but co-owner Irina Raimbekov said some people are still nervous about dining there.

"We get a lot people who come in and they say 'This is our first time eating vegan' and I say 'Really? I'm sure that you ate an apple without bacon on it before,'" Raimbekov said. "There's nothing scary about vegan food. It's things that people eat all the time."

The restaurant is hoping to introduce more people to plant-based eating and build a community of people who enjoy it by running a vegan supper club series.

"We want to create this fun environment, private community-style dining, and introduce people to conscious food, plant-based, organic, non-GMO all the good things that are good for people and the planet and the environment," Raimbekov said.

The series launched on Jan. 29 with American Favorites with a Healthy Twist, which featured hempburger sliders, sweet potato fries and pizza. For the next event, which runs at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26, the restaurant is marking the Slavic holiday Maslenitsa, or Butter Week.

"Winter is about more dense foods," said Raimbekov. "To stay warm the blood needs to be thicker. Butter Week signifies the end of winter, before people start spring cleanses."

Irena and her husband, Karim Raimbekov, are from Kazakhstan and speak Russian as their first language. They thought bringing a taste of home their native cuisine to the restaurant would be exotic, particularly in a vegan context. The menu will focus on crepes including a version made from sprouted and fermented lentils, brown rice and red rice, and dehydrated crepes incorporating mango and coconut. While the couple won't be cooking the dishes in front of attendees, they'll discuss each one, sharing what went into preparing it, why they made it, and its health benefits.

"Healthy food is delicious," Raimbekov said. "Hopefully they'll be inspired to start cooking at home and incorporating healthy recipes and they'll be inspired to come back here whether it's for the supper club or otherwise. We're really hoping to create buzz with this."

The owners hope to bring in about 30 people for each event. They'll all be seated at a long table to foster community and served six to seven small portions along with a drink, which will be beet kombucha for February.

"Nobody's walking away hungry, but the idea is not to overfeed people since it's supposed to be healthy," Raimbekov said. "A lot of people are excited. We're seeing a lot of community support."

Only 50 percent of Purple Sprout's customers are vegan or vegetarian, but some of those who aren't still come in several times a week.

"Some people are in transition, some people just enjoy how they feel after eating our food," Raimbekov said.

The menu offers a few meat substitutes like seitan and tofu, but the owners prefer to emphasize the diverse natural flavors of the plant world. Along with serving a highly customizable menu, Purple Sprout also has a juice bar, a bakery stocked with sugar-free desserts including several varieties of vegan cheesecake, and a coffee bar with hot drinks including chicory coffee and tea loaded with fresh ginger and lemon. Most of the menu is gluten free, some of it is raw and everything is served in biodegradable packaging.

"We try to be conscious in everything we do," Raimbekov said.

Purple Sprout also sell frozen dumplings and pies plus sauces, kombucha and vegan cheese products so that the growing number people who want to change their diets have an easier time eating vegan at home.

"People are talking more and more about why it's good, the different health benefits for people," Raimbekov said. "They're not even talking about animal advocacy but the environment."

Purple Sprout Cafe digs into Vegan Supper Club series - Chicago Tribune

Special To The Washington Post.

Eat better, drink less, exercise more, sleep enough: It's common advice for heart health - and it's frequently ignored. Just 3 percent of American adults meet the standards for healthy levels of physical activity, consumption of fruit and vegetables, body fat and smoking, according to recent study.

But a major lifestyle overhaul isn't the only way to help your heart, studies suggest. Even small changes can make substantial differences.

Eventually, little changes can add up, says David Goff, director of the cardiovascular sciences division at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in Bethesda.

"Any small change you make in a positive direction is good for you," he says. "It's not an all-or-nothing phenomenon."

Physical activity is a perfect example, Goff says. Official guidelines, which recommend 30 minutes of moderately intense activity on most days, are based partly on evidence of substantial health benefits from doing 150 to 300 minutes of exercise each week, according to a 2011 review study by researchers at the University of South Carolina at Columbia. Those benefits include reduced risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.

But the guidelines also come out of an assessment of what is obtainable for most people, Goff adds. And while it would be ideal to get at least 150 minutes of exercise weekly, getting less than that also has benefits. When the researchers looked at deaths from all causes, they saw the sharpest drop in mortality when exercise jumped from half an hour to an hour and a half each week.

Just getting up for a minute or two to interrupt bouts of sitting may also improve health, the study noted. And moving for as little as eight minutes a few times a day provides the same cardiovascular benefits as 30 uninterrupted minutes.

"If you can't find 30 minutes a day, try to find five or 10 or 15," Goff says. "Anything is better than nothing."

The "some is better than none" philosophy applies to dietary improvements, too, Goff says. According to the National Institutes of Health, an ideal meal plan includes lots of fruit, vegetables and whole grains, with limited amounts of fatty meat and tropical oils.

But eating an imperfect diet with more of the good stuff is better than giving up entirely. That's a conclusion from a 2016 study that created food-quality scores from the self-reported diets of about 200,000 people. Over about 25 years, the study found, people whose diets scored lowest had a 13 percent higher risk of coronary artery disease than did people in the second-worst group.

Even just switching out soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages can help eliminate a couple hundred calories a day and control weight. That helps lower blood pressure, levels of harmful cholesterol and the potential for diabetes - all risk factors for heart disease, Goff says. Large long-term studies have shown that people who average one sugary drink a day have a 20 percent higher risk of heart attack than people who rarely drink any.

It's not just food and diet, adds Michael Miller, director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in and author of "Heal Your Heart: The Positive Emotions Prescription to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease." Heart strength can also come from battling stress by boosting emotional health in simple and unexpected ways, he says, such as enjoying a good laugh.

In a small 2005 study, Miller played movie clips for 20 people. When participants watched a scene that made them laugh, 19 of them experienced dilation of the blood vessels. In contrast, a stressful scene led to constriction in 14 of the 20 viewers. Since then, Miller says, other small studies have found similar results, including one showing that vessels stayed dilated for 24 hours. Dilation allows more blood to flow, decreasing blood pressure and heart rate.

"Cross-talk" between the brain and heart explains the potential long-term benefits of laughter, Miller says, particularly when laughter is intense enough to induce crying. Belly laughing releases endorphins, triggering receptors in blood vessels to produce nitric oxide, which in turn, dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow, reduces the risk of blood clots, and more.

People are far more likely to laugh when they're with friends, Miller adds, adding yet more evidence of the health benefits of being social.

Accumulating evidence suggests that another easy and enjoyable way to help your heart is to listen to music. During recovery from surgery, several studies have shown, listening to relaxing music leads to a reduction in anxiety and heart rate. And in a 2015 study, Greek researchers found reductions in how hard the hearts of 20 healthy young adults were working after 30 minutes of listening to rock or classical music.

"I tell my patients to dust off their old LPs now that LPs are coming back and listen to a piece of music they have not heard in a long time but in the past made them feel really good," Miller says.

Also on his list of recommendations: mindfulness meditation and hugging. Both, he says, look promising in studies of heart health and heart repair.

"Considering that stress probably accounts for a third of heart attacks," he says, "it can have a dramatic effect if you do all of these things in sync."

Small lifestyle change help at any age, suggests a 2014 study that started by assessing cardiovascular risks in more than 5,000 young adults in the mid-1980s. Twenty years later, people who had made even small but positive changes - such as losing a little weight, exercising a bit more or smoking a little less - showed less coronary artery calcification than people who didn't change or changed in a negative direction. Coronary artery calcification is a risk factor for heart disease.

For the best chance of success, Goff suggests taking on one little change at a time.

"The idea is to make a small change and then make another small change," he says. "It's about changing the way you live over years and years, not hours and days."

To take care of your heart, even little changes can help - Cortez Journal

David McClendon of Littleton, Colorado boarded a Southwest jet Monday morning in Dallas, Texas. Upon taking his seat, he felt that things were a little different from the usual procedure of a simple fly-away.

I noticed that there were a lot of pictures being taken, and everyone seemed to know each other, McClendon told Sounds Like Nashville. I started asking questions, and was told I was getting a surprise and nothing more. It was a lot of fun.

That surprise was a live in-flight performance from Dot recording artist Drake White, as part of Southwests Live at 35 series. The singer, who performed several songs from his Spark album, said it was an experience that he wont soon forget.

It felt good. There were a lot of people that were surprised about it, he shared. I think that music lives in that spontaneity and that quickness of getting out there and doing your thing. At the end of the day, I just want to make people have a good day, and a good experience, I think that was one.

Of course, one of the biggest obstacles for the energetic performer was that space was very much limited. It was challenging, he admitted. Im glad I stretched this morning, and got my little workout in. Its definitely tight quarters, for sure.

There were other differences in playing live at 35,000 feet. Obviously, theres not a lot of acoustics on there. Its more of a nostalgic thing. Peoples ears are just now getting acclimated to being up in that space. Its more of a wow factor that somebody is actually trying to put this on and get it done. I think it sounded pretty good.

The flight to Nashville was part one of a busy week, with Fridays performance at the Country Radio Seminars New Faces Show also being a highlight, for the singer, who said he relishes the blessing of a busy schedule. You have to be a chameleon. I used to think If I only had a chance to be that busy. My buddies would be flying all over the world playing, and they would always talk about being slammed. I would think Theres no way they are that slammed. But, you do get busy. This week is a very busy one.

Monday night, White played a private performance for radio contest winners at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Anytime you get to play that stage, its an absolute honor. Im going to get to play solo acoustic. Thats a very huge deal.

The performance was also sponsored by Live In The Vineyard, a concert series that White is a huge fan of. This was the brainchild of a couple of ladies. They love wine, and they love the landscape of Napa. They started bringing music into the vineyards, and for all the people who like partaking of the wine, music goes with that. They just made this concept, and its an amazing experience. You talk about being laid-back. It was something Ill never forget. I love the landscape out there, as well as the geography.

The musical experience likely over Arkansas was one that passenger McClendon wont soon forget. It was like winning the lottery, he beamed. It was an awesome experience. Id never seen anything like this before. It was nice and relaxing, and made the flight go by faster. After the performance, he lamented that he didnt request Freebird.

White, an Alabama native, says he has done that song before for a very special crowd. I played Freebird with a ukulele in front of Lynyrd Skynyrd on the bus to start their cruise. Ive only done it that once, but it was something, for sure.

The second installment of BSN Denvers conversation with Nuggets rookie Jamal Murray. Find part 1 of T.J. McBrides chat with Murray here.

T.J: So the meditation side of things. You have the aggressor side of yourself and the side that is always pushing you to get better but you also get that softer moment of meditation that you can really build on from you dad that goes back to the inspiration of Bruce lee. Do you still meditate before games and practices?

Jamal: Yes, and I meditate at home too.

T.J.: What has that brought to your life? Especially with how chaotic things have been going from Canada, without that media presence, to Kentucky with coach Cal, to being on the NBA landscape and being forced in as a rookie to play bigger minutes and a bigger role. How much has meditation slowed things down and allowed you to grasp what is happening around you?

Jamal:Sometimes you get caught up so focused that you dont see what is right beside you or right in front of you. When I think of all the stuff I have to do like clean up and practice in the morning I start to think of things as a burden rather thana privilege. Like working out. To me, that is a privilege. So I stop thinking of it as a burden, like, damn I have to work out. I just think that alright, I gottato work out. It is something I have to do and something I want to do and I embrace it. Stuff like that. Kinda eases things off and changing the mindset a little bit.

T.J:Has anyone else on the team gotten in on meditating and would you even let them?

Jamal: No. Everyone has their own thing. You cant tell someone to meditate and they feel better. It is something that took me years to get good at and Im still not even close to perfect or where I should be. Everyone has their own way. Some people listen to hype music before games and sometimes I dont even listen to music. I just go with the flow, say hi to people, and go through with good energy and keep everything to myself and keep my spirits high.

T.J.:So where did that love of hip hop start with you. It is known that you didnt have a tv growing up and you had an iPod that you barely used. Where suddenly did this love of J Cole, lyrical hip hop, and conscious thought come from?

Jamal: People see me as someone that is energetic, messing around, talks a lot, and is fun to be around but the crazy thing is that I like to be by myself. I just like to be alone and away fromeverybody and not talk to anybody. So when I find someone that can relate or express words in a certain way that you would never think of is a way for me to get away too.

T.J.: Something new that came out today. Coach Cal put out his top five Kentucky players that he would put on a team.He didnt include you. How do you feel about that? Does that put a little chip on your shoulder?

Jamal: There are a lot of players. Who did he pick again?

T.J.:He ended up picking John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as his x-factor, and Devin Booker at shooting guard.

Jamal:I mean, thats a good team. He chose Booker over me because its Bookerssecond year but Booker is a great shooter and a great player. He is confident and I think we have the same type of confidence when it comes to playing with toughness and grit going against someone else. He is someone I like to play against and I think it is a good choice.

T.J.: He pushes you with that type of stuff doesnt he? He thinks about it like, lets see what Jamal does when I dont put him on this list. Was he always pushing those buttons when you were at Kentucky?

Jamal: Yeah, he did a lot. He always made fun of me for whatever it was but it was from a good heart. He knew what I was capable of and just wanted me to get there. He kind of wanted me to prove him wrong and show it in a game.

T.J.: How is that inspiring force, a guy like Coach Cal, to have around you like that when you are coming from Canada without the media in your face and without everyone watching what you are doing, to having coach Cal help you along that process of becoming a phenom and a lights out shooter and you had him in your corner to really back you up throughout the draft process. The draft process is lethal and people are brutal to prospects. How big was it to have Coach Cal in your corner?

Jamal:It was good. He was a great talker too. A lot of stuff he says is true. Whenever he talks about the media and stuff I know where it is coming from and I know he is not lying either. He is giving you a real perspective of what he thinks and he has the players and the awards to back it up. He knows what he is talking about and is a guy that other people and GMs trust.

T.J: Does Coach Cal ever leave Kentucky?

Jamal:No. No. I dont think so.

T.J.: Here are a couple rapid fire questions. Basics that people might not know. Favorite color?

Jamal:Grey.

T.J.:Favorite player growing up?

Jamal:Vince Carter.

T.J.:Is that a Canadian thing?

Jamal:I used to just watch him growing up dunking and I would copy his dunks on my little net. The passion he played with was everything.

T.J.:If you were not playing basketball what would you be doing?

Jamal:Track.

T.J.: What did you run?

Jamal:800 meters and high jump and my dad said I would be good at the four (400m) because he ran track but that a tough race.

T.J.: That is a short race, man. What is your favorite food you would be eating if Steve Hess was not down your throat about your diet?

Jamal:I still eat whatever I want to eat (laughs) but I burn it off quick. I like chicken wings a lot. Ill eat them before games or after games. So I think chicken wings are my favorite.
