Vegetarian Star

Michael Jackson is making headlines after the announcement of his comeback tour in London recently. Although he’s having some trouble getting outside insurance, his promoters just might do it for him, since he’s so healthy and vegetarian and all.

La Toya had it rough on Big Brother trying to get something to eat and although she is normally vegetarian, was eating sea kitten and turkey on the show. 

So between the Jackson siblings, who would you rather do…

PETA wants Tiger Woods to do a hole in one wearing none.

Actually, they’ll settle for him stripping down to the essentials to stand up for tigers and other animals in circuses.

They’re hoping he’ll ditch the traditional polo shirt and club for some stripes painted on his body and a sign educating people about the abuse that animals endure.

An excerpt from the letter to the golfer:

“We’re writing to you today with an interesting request. As one of the most successful and celebrated golfers in history, we believe that you could use both your influence and your distinctive first name to help bring attention to the suffering of tigers and other wild animals who are abused in circuses. Would you consider having your body painted to resemble a tiger and then sit in a cage to protest the cruel treatment of tigers, elephants, bears, and other wild animals in circuses? Not only are these animals beaten, shocked, and whipped to make them perform tricks that are confusing and meaningless to them, they are also caged or chained for up to 95 percent of their miserable lives.”

Tiger would make a nice male addition to the heavily female advertisements ran by the group, but somehow, with his clean-cut image, we find it hard to image him doing the stripe-tease.

Propagandhi on Myspace

Propagandhi has always been an outspoken band on various political issues, including vegetarianism.

All of its members are vegan and their latest album, Supporting Caste, features a song, “Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz),” which mocks the idea of animals being treated kindly during rearing, only to be slaughtered for food eventually.

“Humane (e) Meat” features cooking up foodie and author Sandor Katz, who evidentally the band isn’t too fond of. 

Going to Katz’s website and searching “meat” you get the result, “meat.org” with the words “meat industry, wish vegetarians didn’t own.” The meat.org site is PETA’s site displaying what goes on in factory farms.

“That’s someone cutting bread and some fake screaming over it, for a laugh,” says Kowalski  [in regards to "Humane (e) Meat."]. “[Sandor Katz] wrote a book and [Propagandhi co-founder Chris Hannah] read it. It makes light of the idea of humanely killing animals, and so we kind of just removed the animal, put him in place for satirical reasons, just to show that clearly this isn’t humane.”

Some sample lyrics from “Humane (e) Meat”:

I swear I did my best to ensure that
His final moments were swift and free from fear
But consideration should be made for the fact
That Sandor Katz was my first kill

Every single hair from his body
Gently placed his decapitated head in a stock pot
Boiled off his flesh and made a spreadable head cheese

Because I believe that one can only relate with
Another living creature by completely destroying it
I’m sure Sandor’s friends and family would appreciate this

Doesn’t the title make this story sound hot? Emily Deschanel screaming “Ed Begley” in the dark? It’s only in the name of being eco-friendly, though. Sorry to disappoint those looking for something more titillating.

The vegan star of Fox’s “Bones” recently did an interview with Health where she revealed environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr. played a key role in inspiring her to go green. She says his name aloud if she forgets to turn the lights off in her home. 

“If I leave a light on in my house, which I try not to do, I always say, “Ed Begley, you gotta turn it off.” If I don’t turn it off, my assistant or boyfriend will say, “Ed Begley!””

Emily has been a great proselytizer for the veg life, getting her co-star David Boreanaz to do vegetarian for one day of the week. She even got the recently removed Chairman of Fox, Peter Ligouri, to go vegan, which she considers her proudest green achievement.

“We were at a party, and I said, ‘You’d make a big difference by just trying it for a week.’ I sent him food, and he really stuck to it.”

When asked if she was an ideal eater, Deschanel replied, “Oh my god, I’m not a perfect eater by any means, and I don’t believe in starving yourself. I believe in eating healthfully and being balanced—and being balanced in your mind as well as in your body”
