Jamie Oliver launching vegetarian cookbook

Celebrity chef says we need to stop eating so much meat.

Jamie Oliver, fresh from an Emmy win for his "Food Revolution" healthy eating reality series, has revealed that he's getting ready to launch a vegetarian/vegan cookbook.
 
In an interview with The Huffington Post, the 35-year-old UK chef says that the time is right for a book catered specifically to those who embrace the veggie lifestyle -- especially with their being more people behind the diet than ever before.
 
“Often I get cornered out by vegetarians who are going to knock me out with a cucumber," said Oliver. "I’m like “dude, look in the back of the book. Open up the index and there’s all these little v’s.” And they’ll go “Oh, right, but we want out own book.” For many years I just felt like, “C’mon, stop being so sensitive.” But actually this year we’re going to bundle all of my vegetarian recipes and vegan recipes into one big massive, mammoth book and give ‘em that book. Because it’s right. You know, in the old days there wasn’t so many vegetarians and now there’s many."
 
"Vegetarian as a general concept is a brilliant thing," Oliver added. "We’ve got to stop eating so much meat. We are eating too much meat.”
 
Oliver, who says that his cookbooks have always been almost 60% vegetarian, plans on collecting his best recipes for vegan and vegetarians and releasing them sometime soon.
 
Check out the video interview with Jamie below. Are you psyched for this new book?

We have learned recently that even former President Bill Clinton is trying out a primarily vegan diet, going as far as cutting out artery-clogging dairy and eggs, replacing them with superior forms of plant based protein, iron and calcium. He has the help of world renowned heart surgeon Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, who has conducted some of the longest studies on reversing heart disease on a vegan diet, with over 80% success rate from patients. According to Dr. Esselstyn we can meet ALL our.... More

I'm sure Jamie knows all too well the vast tracts of land used for grazing animals intended for human consumption. If people didn't eat so much meat, this land could be returned to forests. Or at the very least, it could be used to house white meat animals, which are much smaller, and much healthier to eat than red meat.

It's only my viewpoint, but the idea of festering, rotting and decaying dead animal flesh coursing it's way through my system is enough to make me vomit, especially as.... More

Way to do, Jamie. But how about take one step further, make a vegan cookbook, since vegan is the natural way suitable for human beings to be healthy naturally?
