The NFL couldn’t have picked a BETTER musician to sing the most beautiful song on the planet for Superbowl 2010.

The delicious Carrie Underwood who donned an all white pant suit was given the honor, but some are saying her rendition of the National Anthem was flat. Listen to the video yourself and see. I don’t find it flat at all, it was PERFECT.

And hearty congrats! to the New Orleans Saints for an exciting and awesome Superbowl win.

In today’s meat-obsessed world, it’s not easy eating plants but a newly released book from Life Tips, Inc can help. So often seasoned vegetarians settle into an eating routine that may not be satisfying all of their needs… enter Staci Marquez-Nichols to the rescue.

Her book “101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips” provides info and insights veteran and newbie vegetarians alike can use to enjoy a smart and healthy vegetarian lifestyle – including ammunition you can use against veggie naysayers.

There are a ton of vegetarian cookbooks and books criticizing the meat industry available, says author Staci, but surprisingly few resources on how to make a meat-free diet work. This is what makes ‘101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips’ so indispensable. There are a lot of long-term vegetarians who don’t know what a complete protein is or how to combine their foods to form them. There are a lot of veteran vegetarians who don’t know that processed soy–i.e. fake meat–is really bad for you. I explore all of these things in my book.

“101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips” provides readers with humorous, real-world and engaging insights every vegetarian can use.

Tips and trivia include:

  • Detailed vegetarian food groups (It’s more than nuts and berries!)
  • The body’s vitamin and nutrient requirements and how to meet them
  • The environmental impact of a vegetarian diet vs. the Standard American Diet
  • How to deal with meat cravings
  • Veggie-friendly fast food finds
  • A list of famous vegetarians and vegans
  • Thought-provoking quotes on vegetarianism from everyone from Albert Einstein to Leonardo da Vinci
  • Specific chapters for vegetarian athletes, vegetarian kids, pregnant vegetarians, traveling vegetarians, and more

“101 Vegetarian Eating & Living Tips” is available from Amazon.com (where it has already earned a 5-star rating) for less than $10.
