Vegetarian Star

Rupert Everett was recently on the Rachael Ray show where he announced he’s no longer vegetarian.

And he’s got such as WEAK excuse.

Last time Rupert was on Rachael Ray, Rachael made him a vegetable curry because she knew he was a vegetarian.

When Rachael mentioned she heard he was no longer vegetarian, Rupert rambled about loving cows, but enjoying meat, and feeling weak while being vegetarian.

Now, isn’t that just pathetic.

Rachael Ray threw in her ridiculous piece of information that her grandfather said eating meat was good for the blood.

Please stick to cooking, Rachael.

Sure, meat contains iron, which red blood cells need to function, but that mineral can be found in numerous plant sources like spinach, soybeans, seeds, tofu, beans, quinoa, and the list goes on.

Rupert’s British brother, Paul McCartney, might have a few suggestions for countering that “weak” feeling, especially since he’s got over another whole decade of years on him and is still going strong.

Twilight actress Christian Serratos recently interviewed with New York Beauty Secrets Examiner Gabrielle Long, where she revealed she prefers to keep her beauty collection cruelty-free!

“I mean, there’s still some stuff that I’m trying to like wean myself off of by finishing the bottle and calling it a day with it. Because I found out that some of my favorite stuff either tests on animals, or uses animals. Luckily, a lot of the stuff I already use won’t test on animals, so I lucked out and picked the right things. It’s convenient.”

“I like this new brand Stripped, it has this vegan mineral veil, and I love it. Everything is vegan, even their brushes. Because I don’t like to use any animal products, it’s really hard to find out what is or isn’t. It’s really easy with Stripped because all of their brushes and all their makeup and lipgloss and everything is vegan.”

Cartoonist Dan Piraro has penned a letter to officials at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for using cats as dummies in their pediatric intubation training sessions.

Trainees in the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) force plastic tubes down cats’ throats to prep them for performing the medical procedure on a real human one day.

This is done even though the sponsor of the course, American Heart Association (AHA), exclusively recommends practicing on manikins and similar types of simulators.

What’s more, the AHA has distanced itself from facilities that continue to practice this archaic method!

Piraro wrote a letter that appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that read, “It doesn’t take a medical degree to recognize that practicing intubation on a limp cat is nothing like doing the same procedure on a larger, crying, squirming and/or coughing human child.”

And so was the creative juice for the above cartoon.

Vegetarian Times online has an interview with Farm Sanctuary’s President and co-founder, Gene Baur.

Farm Sanctuary works to protect and rescue farm animals throughout North America.

Not only are factory farms cruel to animals, they’re wasting our water more than a fully running faucet during teeth brushing time!

“Water is a precious resource. There is a 10:1 ratio in terms of water resources necessary for meat production versus vegetarian food production. The “externalities” or external costs of factory farms include polluted surface and ground water due to untreated manure lagoons that are basically just liquid waste. There was a theory that anaerobic decomposition would decay it all. However, when it rains, these lagoons overflow. This also causes a destruction of property values because of the stench.”

“I’ve never been a feminist so there you go. I just do what I think I have to do. I’m not resistant. I’m only interested in meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. If you’re a feminist and a meat-eater you’ve got nothing to do with me. We’re not speaking the same language. I’ve never been discriminated against anyway.”

—-Chrissie Hynde, who said she doesn’t get why some people are hung up on gender. Incidentally, some vegans might consider the dairy industry to be a feminist thing, as female cows are forcefully impregnated to produce milk for human profit and consumption. Is there a feminist theme behind the Dairy is Rape saying?

In Austria, the Viva Mayr clinic exists, where celebrities flock to detox and lose weight.

The intensive seven day programs costs anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 a week and replace sugar, caffeine, and alcohol with gourmet vegetarian meals and various pampering and luxury offers.

A similar program exists in Australia called Gwinganna.

Stars like Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Hugh Jackman have taken part in these “detox” sessions.

Oh, yes. Hugh Jackman.

Is this where the X Men star goes to purify himself from the chicken farm he consumes when he’s interested in getting buffed for a film?

If you recall, Hugh told reporters he consumed a lot of chicken to put on extra muscle for his Wolverine role.

“Let me tell you, I’m not vegan. I ate so many chickens to make this body. If there is a place in hell for people who eat chickens, I have booked a suite bigger than anybody.”

Of course, Hugh could have checked out Vega, completely plant based vegan protein bars, protein powders, and other supplements.

There are chickens in hell, waiting for him to arrive, so they can force feed him a liquid diet of Smoothie Infusion.

Farm Sanctuary

Joan Jett recently made a field trip to Farm Sanctuary where she not only cuddled with the famous Joan Jett pig, but rubbed elbows (or maybe snouts?) with other animals like Jerry Lee pictured here.

Joan’s not only a supporter of Farm Sanctuary and animal activist, but a longtime vegetarian as well.

The folks of Farm Sanctuary know a picture’s worth a thousand words, and they’ve included several illustrating Joan’s compassion and ability to bond with animals.

From the blog, Sanctuary Tails:

“During her visit, Joan got to meet her namesake, the fabulous Joan Jett pig and pitch in with farm tasks like moving the main cattle herd to a different pasture so they could enjoy grazing on new lush green grass, and feeding scratch mix out to flocks of super excited chickens. She also, of course, got to just hang out and play with all the animals, and I was thrilled to see how very comfortable she was with all of them – no matter how big or how small. Joan was an absolute natural with the animals and, of course, extremely cool to hang out with too.”

Visit Sanctuary Tails to view more pictures and Joan hanging out with the farm animals.
