DC Vegan Compassion Over Killing

For the month of December, DC Vegan is hosting fundraisers for the D.C. vegetarian and animal welfare group, Compassion Over Killing.

The holiday season is about giving, and there’s no better way to give back than to promote a cruelty-free and healthier lifestyle for everyone by helping COK raise money to promote vegetarian education and awareness.

Three events are still on the agenda for December, including the Save the Date: COK’s Annual Holiday Fundraising Party!, COK Benefit at Sticky Fingers Bakery and COK Benefit at Java Green.

The goal is to raise $1,000 dollars for the month.

“Counter, Tagine — it isn’t really vegetarian, but it has great vegetarian dishes — Josie’s uptown, and Angelica Kitchen.”

—-Natalie Portman, at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, on her favorite NYC vegetarian restaurants.

Know who else digs Angelica Kitchen?

The faux meat is a gateway drug to vegetarianism bald star Moby, who said, “I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life.”

If you start now, you could at least hope to tie Moby’s record at Angelica.

It’s been a great season for herbivores on Top Chef.

Zooey Deschanel made a guest appearance that challenged the judges to not only cook meat free, but also without gluten and soy.

Then came along Natalie Portman, who dropped the V word on the cheftestants and ended up with a mouthful of shallots and garlic.

Last night’s episode featured the chefs making two dishes-one vegetarian and one featuring a local protein (which could have also been vegetarian…hmpf!) for a party of 150 people.

In the end, Jen put way more salt on her veggie dish than the judges preferred and she was sent packing while the brothers Voltaggio and Gillespie remain standing.

Watch the clip above to hear Jen’s thoughts on her exit.

Bill Maher has collaborated with the Humane Society of the United States to record a PSA informing consumers that International House of Pancakes, IHOP,  continues to get eggs from suppliers that confine hens in battery cages.

It’s so cruel that Bill has nicknamed IHOP “International House of Pain.”

“You may come hungry to IHOP, but you shouldn’t leave happy,” Bill says.

“Not as long as they only use eggs from hens crammed into tiny cages, where they can barely move an inch.”

Maher points out that other restaurants like Denny’s and Burger King are using some cage free eggs, but IHOP has failed to make progress.

Sounds like IHOP needs to HOP on the progressive bandwagon and phase out this cruel method of obtaining eggs.

Watch the clip for more.

Aretha Franklin performed at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting recently all bundled up for the winter.

Voted Fugliest Fur Hag in 2008 for her critter collection, one might automatically guess the Woolly Mammoth costume Aretha wore was created from real animals who got no R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

But people change.

Could Aretha have wised up and realized that a diva of soul wearing fur is like a diva wearing the same outfit twice.

What do you think?

Is Aretha fur real?

Or is she faking it?

Two veggie will rule the silver screens this Friday December 4 as Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, will be released.

Both have always been vocal about the veg life.

Tobey has asked Congress to put some vegetarian food in school lunches instead of the usual road kill meatloaf.

Natalie can’t stop telling people how great it is to be vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

She also couldn’t stop bumming food off Tobey and his chef during the filming of Brothers.

Between the two, who would you rather do…
