This isnât your grandmaâs Betty Crocker. And it isnât your hippie friendâs veganism. Annie and Dan Shannonâs new cookbook, Betty Goes Vegan, contains 500 âclassic recipes for the modern familyââeach and every one an updated, veganized version of a Betty Crocker creation. More
As details about the Sandy Hook school shooting came out on Friday, a lot of people argued that it wasnât the time to discuss politics and gun laws. But Victoria Jackson was busy making the argument that killing 20 first-graders is just like abortion. Because (insert sarcastic tone here) thatâs almost as helpful and appropriate as Mike Huckabee blaming the massacre on separation of church and state. More
Today in misogyny in the U.S.A: National Processing of America, a call center in Kansas City, KS, is being sued for unlawful termination after firing a pregnant employee. April Roller lost her job because the company thought she took too many trips to the bathroom. Yup! Watch out, pregnant ladies of America: if youâd like to bring another life into the world, your job might be on the line. More
Weâve already written about how Body Mass Index (BMI) is basically a sham (to put it nicely), but a new petition against Seventeen magazineâs online BMI calculator points out yet another way that the supposed health metric can get be so unhealthy. Not only does their BMI calculator encourage teen girls to measure health based purely on weight; it also enforces weight standards that are just flat-out unhealthy, at least if you go by BMI charts listed by the CDC.

Oprah opened up about a breast cancer scare at a conference in Los Angeles last month, and she also told the New York Times about her struggles at the helm of OWN and O Magazine. The Daily Mailâs summary is dramatized, as can be expected, but it also couches a pretty offensive dig at women who choose to focus on their careers, minus a familyâin the form of scientific claims about breast cancer risk. More
Kelly Preston is speaking out about autism and the death of her son, Jett Travolta, for the first time in a segment on the show The Doctors. She says environmental factors and chemicals are a major cause of rising autism rates, and believes that theyâre one of the thingâs responsible for Jettâs autism. While weâre probably all a little scarred by Jenny McCarthyâs crusade against vaccines, but this celebrity is worth hearing out: Not only is there real research and science behind her claims; sheâs also promoting a lifestyle thatâs generally pretty safe and healthy. Which is a much more appealing option than taking a gamble with vaccines. More
First there was Zeddie Little, now thereâs Baby Joey, also known as âridiculously good-looking surgery baby.â Not only is he adorable (and, like Little, extremely photogenic); he sports a surprisingly laid-back grin in the post-open heart surgery photo-op thatâs started going viral. The scarâwhich runs down his chestâis from the first in what may be a series of surgeries to repair a congenital heart defect. Joey seems unfazedâbut just look at his photo page and tell us your heart doesnât feel like itâs about to burst. More
Chicagoâs Galicia Malone stopped at Precinct 88 in Chicago to vote this morning, just like a lot of other citizensâŠexcept she was on her way to the hospital to give birth to her first child. And (as if there needs to be an âandâ) her contractions were just five minutes apart. If she can fill out her ballot while in labor, I think the rest of us can make it to the polls (and deal with the lines). More
Remember how everything from the way you dress to the foods you eat to the men you date can all be traced back to whatâs going on with your ovaries? According to a soon-to-be-published study, ovulation is also one of the driving factors behind how you vote. Because apparently ovulation is better at understanding foreign policy, economic plans, reproductive health issues, and voting record? Yeah, Iâm going to go ahead and call BS on this. And on CNNâs coverage of it. More

Dear Lance,
In light of the recent news about you stepping down as chairman of your cancer-fighting foundation, Livestrong, I felt the need to write to you. Donât worry, this isnât some finger-pointing, shame on you, we-all-hate-you letter that you might think. Iâm sure youâve received plenty of those. On the flip side, this also isnât a we-all-love-you-and-believe-you-are still-innocent letter either. Itâs simply a plea from me, your (former?) number one fan to do something. More
TLC has made a business out of exploiting poor parenting, but the latest episode of âHere Comes Honey Boo Booâ (called âTime for Sketti!â) highlights a particularly disturbing aspect of the show. The episode is making the rounds thanks to Mama Juneâs home cooking: She prepares meals for her family on a thrifty $80 a week, apparently serving road kill to her family when available, and when itâs not, serving what she calls âskettiâ: spaghetti noodles covered in Country Crock margarine and ketchup.

After super-strict celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson gave birth in May, we were nervous. Nervous that sheâd apply her hard-core, sometimes body-negative, often bordering-on-unhealthy advice not only to regular women, but to new moms, too. Lo and behold, she has. In an interview with Dujour magazine, Anderson cut right to the snarky chase, noting that âA lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and thatâs the worst thing.â More
Mayim Bialik was recently in a car accident where her hand was severely injured (there was a lot of blood, and she almost lost her thumb!). But she told Access Hollywood that sheâs not taking any prescription medications to deal with the pain; rather, sheâs using the natural childbirth techniques she learned during her pregnancies with her two sons. More
Nevada state law prohibits same sex marriage, but it does allow for domestic partnerships which it specifies grants them âthe same rights, protections and benefitsâ of spouses. So when Brittney Leon and Terri-Ann Simonelli, a lesbian couple who hold a certificate of domestic partnership from Nevada State, went to Spring Valley Hospital because of Leonâs pregnancy complications, they assumed they would have the same rights as a married couple in regards to medical care and decisions. Not so. More
