The Mentalist Owain Yeoman Shows His Meat Against Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 in Actors.

We had something for the guys earlier but today it’s a better ladies’ night than free cover and half off drinks.

Owain Yeoman, star in the CBS television series, The Mentalist, bares his chest for a PETA vegetarian ad.

The actor has recorded not one, but two different PSAs that you can watch, as well as an additional video over at peta.org.

Paula Abdul sang that opposites attract, but with Owain’s case, that seems to be false. He has an animal loving wife, Lucy Davis from The Office, who’s bared some skin for PETA’s Unbearable Cruelty campaign, meant to stop the use of bear fur in the hats worn by the Queen of England’s guards.

Ah, what beautiful activist children they will spawn.

Barack Obama: Dijon Mustard Burger Whipping Boy

Obama, Biden eat lunch in Arlington

President Barack Obama and Vice Pres Joe Biden recently had lunch at Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia.

Though some would look at this as the President showing he’s a regular guy, eating at a local diner, Obama and his second leading boy did not score points with conservatives. Why? You see, Obama, ordered a cheeseburger with “dijon” mustard, which was viewed as elitist.

So while talk show conservatives Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Rush Limbaugh Show guest host Mark Steyn have beaten Obama for his elitist condiment, we decided there’s no better time to give him a whipping for his choice of meal as well.

A hamburger? Really? In this age of obesity and health care crisis, that he even said can be greatly tackled by encouraging Americans to change their diet, which includes more fruits and vegetables, and he orders a hamburger with cheese.

Yeah, he admitted to liking a steak every once in awhile. Does this mean he has to flaunt his cow indulgences for the entire world to see and imitate?

There could have easily been Pres and Vice Pres male bonding over a whole wheat pasta without meatballs dish, a fresh salad, heck, even a bean burrito, tortilla chips and salsa.

But Obama chose beef that day. And that’s why we currently have a beef with him.

Kathy Freston On Essential Vegetarian Reading List

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 in Authors.

Kathy Freston Celebrates Her New Book Quantum WellnessDoes anyone even read those suggested lists posted by Amazon.com users? Seems like it’s more for the user to feel highly important, knowing they’ve made a difference by enlightening a potential buyer that Radiohead is very dissimilar to Filter, but both CDs sound great while reading the Natural Herbs book.

Here’s a list you might find helpful, though. Bruce Friedrich at the HuffingtonPost has compiled his essential reads for vegetarians.

Kathy Freston, author of the Quantum Wellness books, including her latest, The Quantum Wellness Cleanse is included.

“In our toxic society, Kathy Freston is pumping in some much-needed fresh air, with chapters discussing not just the importance of eating a vegetarian diet for health, ecological, and spiritual reasons, but also discussing a range of other practices that will inspire readers to be the happiest and healthiest people we can possibly be,” writes Bruce.

The Engine-2 Diet, which inspired Newsweek editor David Noonan to go vegan made the cut. 

Dr. Dean Ornish and John Robbins are also a few of Bruce’s favorites, but he does give warning to the faint of ears who plan to read anything by Skinny Bitch authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

“…for anyone, really, who enjoys a chatty and irreverent — and I do mean irreverent, so be warned! — tone…”
