Vegetarian Star

In a letter from the Brigitte Bardot foundation, France president Nicolas Sarkozy has been asked to implement a meat-free day in the country, starting with all public establishments, and encouraging the private sector to do so as well.

“Other than environmental and humane concerns, the refusal of meat consumption is also the best way to protest against the inhumanity and cruelty in factory farms, during transport and during the slaughter of billions of animals that are sacrificed and eaten each year,” the foundation wrote.

“There is already a ‘day ago without car’, a ‘day without tobacco’, but the initiation of a vegetarian day would have a much greater impact than all ‘carbon’ taxes put together, and the planet would be in infinitely better shape (which would be even still better if that vegetarian initiative would be valid for 365 days per year”).

Bardot’s request comes just after the Climate summit in New York and ahead of the Carbon Tax launch on fuels in France.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations states in their report “Livestock a major threat to environment,” that the livestock sector produces more gases than all of the transportation industry combined.

Propagandhi makes it no secret they disagree with the concept of “humanely raised meat” as is evident through their song about roasting Sandor Katz.

Band member Chris Hannah explains what he meant about his statement that, “we do encourage people to slaughter and devour organically-fed human corpses.”

“Obviously it’s tongue in cheek,” Chris says. “People are spreading the idea around that there’s a humane way of confining, terrorizing, mutilating, killing and eating non-human animals.”

“I don’t think that’s a very good rationalization-to tend to call things Happy Meat or Humane Meat. I think it’s dishonest.”

Whew! Glad Chris wasn’t serious about cheering on cannibalism.

Jason Mraz was recently interviewed by Mike Ragogna of the Huffington Post, where it was revealed that for his final show on the Gratitude Cafe tour, in San Diego, fans can pay what they want to attend.

“You can come and pay a dollar or seventy-five dollars, or you can go online for some of our best seats for probably a couple o’ hundred dollars,” said Mraz. “Or you can come with your pockets empty and learn about the local charities we’re going to have on hand. It was a way for me to give back to my community, and also, hopefully, a way to inspire that community to pay it forward.”

Some of the proceeds from the concert go towards various charities.

“The San Diego Youth Services, VH1 Save The Music, and the Surfrider foundation are our three main beneficiaries, and we’re getting hit up by many other charities who are probably going to be on hand on that day.”

Being so charitable must mean Jason knows there’s something bigger to life than being selfish. Is this due to his vegan diet?

“Let’s say you’re a vegan or if you choose to eat raw food. Well, that makes you a little more conscious about what you’re putting in your body, therefore, raising your consciousness, if you will. And the same thing goes for being conscious about thoughts, your own thoughts, and what you’re telling yourself, how you’re living your life, how you’re creating a life experience for yourself. That is definitely going to bring in how the world shows up for you, and how you can see the world improve in certain areas, or how you could inspire certain people to improve their work or outreach and share a little more of life’s resources. There’s really no limit as to how far you can go, and hopefully, the concert we do in San Diego will continue to speak that message.”
