On Wednesday, I joined animal activist, vegan and broadcaster Jane Velez Mitchell in her Marina Del Ray, Calif., kitchen.
I created one of my favorite organic vegan salads live on her show #LunchBreakLive. It took 10 minutes to make this healthy plant-based feast.

A nutritious plant-based meal made with tender loving care.
Each year, almost 2.5 billion people suffer through deadly heatwaves and it’s predicted to get far worse by mid-century as the world burns more subsidized fossil fuels. A scorching heatwave in the American southwest grounded planes on Tuesday at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The tarmacs are not long enough when air temperature exceeds 118F for jets to take off. This life-threatening heatwave was so hot it caused meteorologists to add magenta, a new heat color, to the weather map.
Magenta represents rare, dangerous, and very possibly deadly heat.
The single biggest thing that each of us can do right now to fight the climate crisis is switch to a plant-based diet. It’s healthy, water-smart, easy and compassionate. Each year, animal agriculture contributes at least 18 percent of the climate-altering green house gases, and that’s more than the entire transportation sector globally.
