Did Veganism “Almost Kill” Angelina Jolie?

September 20, 2010

Happy Monday, CR readers! This morning, as I was on the train to work, friend and reader Grace emailed me to ask whether or not I’d heard Angelina Jolie’s recent statements about her failed experience as a vegan. I hadn’t; by the end of my train ride, though, I’d caught up. Edited to add: I [...]

This morning, I tweeted out that I had just made a butternut squash smoothie to die for. Within mere moments, I had a flurry of responses asking for the recipe.

On Friday night, I made a simple supper for my friend Tom. Tom and I pretty different eaters. He’s an enthusiastic carnivore, and I’m an outspoken vegan. But we see eye to eye on a few foodie matters. Tom’s father is a farmer and, by Tom’s account, a “hippie.” Each fall, Tom brings back bushels [...]
