Vegetarian Star

Vegan and natural childbirth champ Erykah Badu performed at the Jazz Festival at Miami Gardens this weekend.

During her performance Erykah wore a t-shirt that read, “Bite Me! I am vegan.”

What’cha tryin’ to say, Erykah? You’d taste better for the cannibals? Ha, ha.

We know Erykah just likes wearing her vegan pride whenever she gets the chance.

The former vegan, who now eats fish rapper Common was there to perform as well.

Alanis Morissette snagged herself a Juno this weekend at Canada’s version of the Grammy’s. Alanis won Pop Album of the Year. Woohoo!

It’s not certain if Alanis attended the Juno awards banquet which featured some nice vegetarian options.

Alanis was know for going back and forth between vegin’ and meatin’ when she finally made the decision to go veg all the way and become vegan after reading Eat toLive by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a physician who’s worked with Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine.

Congratulations Alanis. Hope the diet’s still working for you. Ain’t nothing like a celebration with vegan cake!

No, it’s not a sequel to the popular Reese Witherspoon Legally Blonde movie.

The green law firm Gardere Wynne Sewell invited Ed Begley Jr. to their 100th anniversary celebration.

The firm is involved with many environmentally friendly initiatives from greening its IT department to planting trees around cities.

“Ed was a hit with our attorneys, staff and clients, and it was fun to have a bit of Hollywood at Gardere,” said Stephen Good, the firm’s managing partner.

“His visit opened many minds to the idea of being green change agents. That is part of why we established the Gardere Green initiative in the first place — not only to do our part but to help others join in.”

Ed’s message for the day was that everyone can do their part to help the environment.

And boy, did Gardere Wynne Sewell do their part that day.

Most food was vegetarian, which reportedly even the carnivorous (maybe those are the injury) attorneys didn’t mind. The selection of vegan and gluten-free items were abundant and the food was purchased locally. 

The event was also held at an LEED certified building featuring carpet and conference room chairs made from recycled material.

Ladies we all have a girlfriend we know who owns shoe pairs in the triple digits. Sometimes, depending on the person we’re talking to, we admit that “girlfriend” is us.

But while we’re buying out the discount rack at Payless, are we paying our dues to the environment and animals?

Elizabeth Olsen, creator of Olsen Haus vegan shoes, spoke with bloggers Joshua Katcher, aka, Discerning Brute, and Chloe Jo Berman from the Girlie Girl Army on all things vegan shoe fetish.

And dudes: this is for you too. Elizabeth has some manly vegan shoes in the wings which she hopes to launch in the fall of this year.

Elizabeth has been a vegan herself for the past 2 years and hasn’t eaten meat in 20!

The Humane Society Legislative Fund has a list just like Santa that its checking more than twice. And every nice or naughty politician will have to answer how their actions contributed to animal welfare.

The Humane Scorecard Booklet is designed to let everyone know where politicians stand on animal rights.

The Scorecard currently shows the 110th Congress “made significant progress on animal protection legislation, including banning the import of puppies from foreign breeding mills, strengthening the federal law on animal fighting, and providing safeguards against tainted ingredients in pet food.”

Several government officials received a score of a “1oo+” including  Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Diane Feinstein (Calif.), John Kerry (Mass.), Carl Levin (Mich.), and vice president Joe Biden.

Politicians earn points on the scorecard through several measures involving either voting or taking action against animal rights. Those earning the highest ratings of 100+  were the prime sponsors of pro-animal legislation that became law. Points can also be earned through co-sponsorship of bills and boosting funding for the enforcement of animal welfare laws.

Biden racked up points for co-sponsoring bills against animal fighting and horse slaughter. 

Check to see how your favorite politician scored this time around on The Humane Scorecard.

When Carrie Underwood announced she was donating proceeds from the Idol elimination song she’s singing this year to the Humane Society of the United States, there was outcry from hunters and others in the animal agriculture industry.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance even urged hunters to contact Fox, demanding the station pull Carrie’s song from the show.

Unsuccessful at previous attempts to destroy the singer’s musical success, protesters are now asking people to go online and vote for anyone other than her in the Academy of Country Music’s (ACM) Entertainer of the Year category.

This is in response to the Humane Society cheering for Carrie and asking voters to pick her for the same award.

What do you predict will happen? Will Carrie’s loyal team gear up and recruit even more voters?
