Paul McCartney raised his daughter Mary right!

The photographer, who is a vegetarian and passionate animal rights activist, has just released her first cookbook. Food utilizes stories from her childhood and her own photography to teach readers how to reduce the amount of meat they eat on a regular basis by introducing them to creative new recipes.

The publisher describes the vegetarian cookbook as:

"Fresh, inspirational and irresistible, Mary's first cookbook will enthuse readers to bring more meat-free cooking into their repertoires. From Fruit and Nut Granola to Asparagus Tart, Mexican Bean Tortilla to Coconut Rice Pudding, Mary gives us ideas for every meal, from breakfasts to Sunday roasts, and offers new twists on old classics like pancakes, and Shepherd's Pie."

The Beatles frontman supported his daughter all the way on Thursday in London by attending the book launch with his lovely new wife Nancy Shevell. As you can see in the pictures (below), the fans went wild for Mary's famous dad outside of the party.

Visit your local Farmer’s Market and buy local, organic produce.

Be Vegan! That’s the best way to be green. You can start small and try eating one vegan meal per week.

Check your products. Read the labels and watch out for harmful chemicals, especially with products you put on your skin. Also be wary of the chemicals in cleaning products.

Jared Leto loves his vegan diet, but it sounds like he might love his fans more!

The actor-turned-rocker was at the South By Southwest festival this past week and was asked to take a picture with a fan in front of a Korean barbecue truck.

The evolution has begun. For Starbucks, at least.

The popular chain has opened their first business venture that doesn't revolve around coffee. Evolution Fresh is a juice shop that caters to customers seeking products that will help them live a healthier lifestyle, as the president of Starbucks Channel Development said:

"Our customers are looking for a healthier lifestyle. Juice and nutrition is no longer a fad. It's a full-blown trend."

According to sources, the first shop has opened near Seattle in Bellevue, Washington and the menu features a variety of fresh squeezed juices, along with vegan and vegetarian food selections.

As you'll notice in the picture above, the shop has very little to do with Starbucks. In fact, the only mention of the biggest brand in coffee is a menu offering of Starbucks Pike Place Roast for $1.95. Despite the fact that Evolution Fresh will always be the younger sibling of Starbucks in our mind, the company believes their new health and wellness chain is "a brand concept that stands on its own."

One thing this place does have in common with the familiar coffee franchise is the signature price. One hand-crafted juice will cost your wallet $7.99. Will U give Starbucks' new juice a shot?
