Vegetarian Star

“If you’re a vegetarian, you could not go to a better place in the world. I’m not a vegetarian, but it is wonderful, and there’s more choice there than anywhere, because it’s a vegetarian nation, although they do eat meats. That food is extraordinary.”
—-Danny Boyle, in an interview with Black Book Mag. Boyle was the director for the movie, Trainspotting, and well as his new cinema project, Slumdog Millionaire, about a young, poor Indian boy who gets a slot on a gameshow.

Jason Mraz likes to lessen the environmental impact on his body by following a vegan raw food diet, as you’ll hear him mention in this video. We’re sure this includes lots of avocados from his farm. You’ll also learn how he’d much rather you write to him on recycled paper made from, ahem, animal poop. It’s much better for the environment.

Remember Terri Nunn? Remember the 80′s group Berlin?

We have a diverse group of readers. Some of you might have rocked out with them. Some of your parents might have rocked out with them. Still, some of you may have been conceived to them.

Terri Nunn is the lead singer who sang the popular song, “Take My Breath Away,” (go ahead and have an 80s flashback and listen) on the Top Gun Soundtrack (which a very young pre-Oprah couch jumping Tom Cruise starred in).

She’s been a vegetarian since her late teens, turning to the lifestyle to cure what years of eating junk did that doctors couldn’t fix.

She has been named one of VH1′s Greatest Women in Rock and has been grouped with all the great female rockers like Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde (who similarly don’t eat meat). Still taking everybody’s breath away after over two decades, she spoke with Las The Place not only about her CD coming out next year, but her feelings about how the government judges the quality of the meat that arrives at your supermarket.

“The main reason I don’t eat meat is because you find out in your studies that the factory farming of animals creates very sick animals. It’s so bad nowadays that the USDA no longer grades IF the animals are sick, it grades how sick they are. Isn’t THAT sick?…I’m thrilled about Proposition 2 passing here in California last week! That’s a healthy step forward, not just for the animals but for the people who eat them.”

“There are so many great soy products out there now, from hot dogs to meat substitutes. Even my kids like them!”

To learn about the fitness routine that keeps her looking like she did in the 80s, go to Las The Place to read the entire interview.

Tofu wrestling: girls, bikinis, and tofu—need we say more?
Watch more videos at LettuceLadies.com.

Another hyper sexual advertisement from Peta. This features model and playmate  Kira Eggers wrestling in tofu. In between shots, interesting facts about tofu are inserted such as “Tofu doesn’t cause impotence like artery clogging meat does.”

This fact alone, we’re sure will cause most men to log off their computers and rush to buy a block of  Nasoya before getting the chance to learn all the other interesting facts, such as it contains multiple cancer fighting agents. Oh, well. One health problem tackled at a time.

George W. Bush’s father, the first presidential Bush, hated broccoli. Barack Obama dislikes the tastes of beets. It appears the right and the left aren’t too different when it comes to having vegetable pet peeves.

Obama hates beets and makes it a policy to “always avoid eating them.”

Earlier on the campaign trail he shared a similar view with Erykah Badu, mentioning that Whole Foods was an expensive place to buy produce, arugula in particular.

Although good for you, there’s no doubt some vegetables taste so bad you don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot carrot pole. Which vegetables would you make it a policy to abolish from the White House if you were office?

Move over Oprah. You’re not the only one who can give out cool gifts to your audience members who just happen to plan their trip to Chicago during the right week.

The divas at the daytime talk show, “The View,” Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd treated their fans in the audience on Wednesday to a $150 gift card to ebags.com to pick out a Big Buddha Handbag.

Big Buddha’s bags come in a variety of colors and styles, but best of all, some of them, like the Bonnie Bag are VEGAN, made with synthetic PVC to make them look like leather.

Sigh…If only you could plan a trip to Los Angeles at the right time.

“President Bush” tried calling the Butterball turkey hotline but was disappointed when he couldn’t speak to any turkeys. So he called another hotline that told him all sorts of interesting facts about the treatment of turkeys on farms. This made him decide to pardon all turkeys this year, since it is his last year as “the decider.” To learn everything he’s learn, he suggests you get on Al Gore’s internet.
