New Champions of fruit and Vegetables?

New Ice Age Wall of Ice



Vegetarianism has found a new Superhero in the shape of The British Frozen Food Federation.

Intent on publicising the environmental and health benefits of food preserved with Nature's most natural preserving method, the BFFF Ice Wall installation on London's arty South Bank was a crowd puller for London's Commuters yesterday.

It was like a vegetarian version of Damian Hirst's revolting pickled animals!

Let's hope the BFFF get involved in National Vegetarian Week in 2009 and help to celebrate 65 years of vegans promoting fresh fruit and vegetables.

Vegan Fishy Superheroes need help!

The amazing world's first vegan fish and chip van is under threat within 12 months of it's start up. Seems the original van was a bit of a lemon and the volunteers need £20,000 for a new van.

If you know someone who could help the van is used by tens of thousands of people each year - a good opportunity for a company who makes eco friendly green vans I think or someone like Redwoods who make vegan fish alternatives (such as fishless fingers)

Perhaps you just have too big a tax bill this year and would rather it go to this worthy cause than towards fighting wars in Iraq etc.

Although there is high hopes for Oprah Winfrey now she has embarked on a vegan diet she falls short of expectations especially in the underwear department.

Tough times call for tough cookies (Wholegrain buckwheat perhaps?)

Raw Food Man
Wonderpig
Super Dinner Lady
Lush Man
The Invisible Man

American footballers have a notoriously shorter average lifespan. Here's one american footballer who is trying to break the mould.

The protein-rich bounty of the football training table is supposed to grow the biggest and strongest athletes in professional sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Tony Gonzalez was afraid it was going to kill him. "It's the Catch-22," says Mr. Gonzalez, 31. "Am I going to be unhealthy and play football? Or be healthy and get out of the league?"

Aaaaaand.................

MarmiteMan!

Catchphrases: "To Insanity and beyond!", "Have you tried it sublingually madam?",

LOVE him or HATE him there's one thing you can't deny about marmite man. He's always willing and able to help a young nervous damsel in distress with deficencies. He prides himself in spreading himself thinly so he can go farther and help more people.

Our caped crusader may be dark, mysterious and inherently savoury but his prowess in saving humans from chronic disease are well documented.

He is accomplished in the kitchen and can transform a bland non-descript dish into a tongue tantalising taste sensation within seconds.

He is particularly good with soldiers.

Arch enemy: HOMOCYSTEINE

Super vegan Powers: tongue tantalising, Can cure blondeness, Strengthen hearts, createDNA, and assist in conitive function.

Weaknesses; MarmiteMan's Krytonite are drugs such as Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. Examples of PPIs are Omeprazole (Prilosec©) and Lansoprazole (Prevacid©) H2 receptor antagonists used to treat peptic ulcer disease. Examples are Tagamet©, Pepsid©, and Zantac©, and Metformin© a drug used to treat diabetes. All of these drugs are thought to reduce MarmiteMan's superpowers. In addition the contraceptive pill and alcohol may also impair his powers
