Vegetarian Star

Evander Holyfield has just announced he’s interested in helping the environment.

He told the Associated Press: “I guess I’m lean and green. I’m pretty much going to do all I can to fight against global warming. I’ll see what I can do to help and try to help other people who want to do the same thing.”

Part of those plans include turning an acre of his suburban Atlanta estate into an organic garden that can be used by youth and building a 40-acre solar energy farm on the same property.

Evander said part of the reason he’s embarking on green adventures is he’s recently gained some financial success and wants to give back.

Some of that financial success is from his recent Taco Bell commercials, like the one shown above.

We’re ecstatic that Evander is giving all his punch to the environment, but have to speak up and say the best way he can be “lean and green” is to go veg…and not eat from most of the Taco Bell menu.

Meat and all processes that go toward putting it from the farm to your plate has the greatest impact on the Earth’s health, and going for the refried beans burrito (does Taco Bell have lard in their beans) instead of the Nacho Crunch Burrito is the easiest way to reduce global warming.

To really “think outside the bun,” make one day of the week a meatless day, Evander. It might help you look prettier in that dress you’re wearing in the commercial, too.

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!

Today is Gandhi‘s birthday, and if you look on Google.com, you’ll see the tech folks in Mountain View, California have chosen to honor him in a very special way.

Gandhi was a vegetarian for most of his life, especially as he grew older and became more spiritual.

Some of his famous quotes were about humanity and the treatment of animals.

Our favorite message from Gandhi would have to be the following:

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

How would Gandhi judge our nation today?

“We often say that we are not perfect, but at the same time, more and more people like to talk about this side of our brand. There are definitely other aspects to consider. There are organic fabrics, low impact dyes. My fashions are mainly made in Italy, so child labor is not an issue for us. We work a lot on fair trade. The first question that comes up when we open a store is ‘Can we use wind power?’ Sometimes we can, sometimes we can’t. Because it’s a mindset, it comes quite naturally.”

—-Stella McCartney, in an interview with Above Magazine, on the ethical issues besides not using leather or fur, on maintaining an ethical fashion line.

Hey There Delilah, did you know the lead singer for Plain White T’s is vegetarian?

Shown here in his new vegetarian PSA, lead singer Tom Higgenson, has publicly announced he’s a meat free rocker.

“It’s not easy to think about where meat comes from,” the ad reads. “Someone else does all the disgusting dirty work for you, so you don’t have to see how much the animal suffers. If you love animals or don’t think hurting them is the right thing to do, then just stop eating them. It’s easy.”

By now you’ve already heard the scandalous story surrounding The Late Show host David Letterman, his affair with personal assistant Stephanie Birkitt, and the extortion fail by Robert “Joe” Halderman.

Since you can get that smut information anywhere else on the web, we thought we’d break to you an even bigger controversy surrounding David and Stephanie.

Stephanie would often hand audience members prizes during some of David’s quizzes like the “Know Your Current Events” featured in the video above, where she can be seen around minute 3:30.

Besides “Know Your Current Events”, Dave also featured Know Your Cuts of Meat, where an audience member was shown a piece of meat and asked to identify it.

Yes, that’s right. Slabs of loin, shoulder, rib and dozens of other parts full of animals that had been passed around and manhandled more than an intern on Capital Hill.

And don’t even get us started on the whoring of those future meat cuts known as factory farm dairy cows who, unlike other pimps, farmers are hoping to knock up so they can get more milk.

“Know Your Cuts of Meat” is definitely not our in our Fave 5 for Letterman skits and we’re hoping in the future audience members can be quizzed (or rather given the answers before the clip so they’ll always get them right) on something like “Know Your 7 Grains in Bread” or “Know Your Completed Protein Pairs.”

Jason Mraz will play at the Farm Aid 2009 all day music and food festival in St. Louis, Missouri at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Sunday October 4.

Farm Aid’s goal is to encourage and assist small, family farms and encourage consumers to purchase food that comes from these farms.

Farm Aid 2009 is being presented by Horizon Organic, sponsored by DIRECTV, Organic Valley Family of Farms, Silk, and EternaGreen.

Fitting that Mraz would be performing at such a benefit, as he has a small avocado farm of his own and was named MNN’s top Farmers Under 40.

In addition to musical performances by Mraz, Dave Matthews, Wilco, John Mellencamp and founder Willie Nelson, Farm Aid 2009 will offer a chance to interact with farmers and activities that get your hands dirty-learning firsthand how soil is kept rich and nourished.

Food makes events even better and Farm Aid will feature a plethora of food for vegetarians like veggie burgers, veggie dogs and veggie salad roll-ups.

For more information about Farm Aid and the complete Sunday concert lineup, visit Farmaid.org.

Recession? Ha! What recession?

The demand for Stella McCartney‘s leather free items from Stella McCartney Ltd. has caused her sales to soar and given Stella reason to increase her salary by 60% thanks to a 70% raise in profits.

According to This Is London, fashion insiders say lifelong vegetarian Stella’s reputation for refusing to use fur and leather in her designs, which include clothing, shoes and handbags, and the demand for cruelty-free items is responsible for the financial celebration.

Stella left a French label, Chloe in 2001 to set up her fashion label with Gucci, but didn’t make profits until 2006.

It was rumored that the big wigs at Gucci were growing impatient with the slower than expected success.

Bet all are happy in the executive office now.

It pays to stick with your values.
