Vegetarian Star

Finola Hughes (General Hospital) was one of several celebrities that gathered to celebrate Heal the Bay’s 18th annual Bring Back the Beach fundraiser. Heal the Bay helps make Southern California’s waters cleaner, healthier, and safer for people and marine life.

Finola is not just all show and no effort. She’s almost vegetarian (with the exception of fish every now and then), and they grow their own vegetables without pesticides.

She applauded Heal the Bay’s efforts saying, “There’s been so much improvement over the last ten years. They’ve done so much in Santa Monica that you can now go swimming here.”

Elizabeth Berkley and Pamela Anderson are two of PETA’s most prized celebrity activists.

Whether it be chasing another celebrity to educate them on meat eating or casually dropping a business card at restaurants telling them to put more vegetarian items on the menu, these ladies are more than Hollywood pretty faces.

And they both look great in leaf lettuce. What a coincidence!

So between the two vegetarian actresses, who would you rather do…

“Children have a natural empathy with animals. They carry around a teddy bear and are taught to love animals. All those fairy tales have animals in them. Then kids are taught to accept their exploitation and death. I do think people try to do the best they can, but they get hit by mixed messages from every direction. They get confused and need to learn.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with popmatters.com. 

Talk about mixed messages…Kids grow up with cats and dogs as pets and cows and chickens as food. No wonder the adolescents of today are so angst ridden!

Alec Baldwin is an actor, vegetarian, environmentalist and…restaurant consultant?

According to some sources, he is.

In Sag Harbor, New York, Estia’s Little Kitchen exists that can serve you Big Al’s Burrito, a mixed vegetable, veggie burger, egg whites, and Jack Cheese for lunch.

Alec Baldwin payed a visit one day and suggested the restaurant veg up their menu in the Omelets and Tortilla Starts section.

Estia’s takes advice well.

Jim Carrey made a statement during his acceptance speech at the MTV movie awards that sounded as if he has a beef with pig factory farming.

“There wouldn’t be a swine flu if we treated the pigs better!” Carey said.

Is he referring to the cramped conditions pigs are kept, where they have little to no room to move around and often lie in their own and other animals’ excrement? Dr. Michael Greger of the Humane Society agrees these are breeding grounds for diseases.

When a celebrity makes a statement that has animal rights tones in it, vegetarians get really excited, even if that celebrity isn’t veg.

Still, perhaps out of optimism, statements can be taken out of context. Remember when Kelly Clarkson cancelled her show at the rodeo? Here we thought she was doing it out of concern for the animals, but the show was just inconvenient for her schedule. Not to mention, she even quit being a vegetarian!

We hope Jim means exactly what he said and sees factory farming for what it really is-unhealthy for the planet, the animals’ and human health.

While you’re on the subject of sticking up for the animals Jim, tell girlfriend Jenny McCarthy to lay off that mammal killing Botox!

Chrissie Hynde is always outspoken on animal rights issues and is a stickler about practicing what she preaches. The woman even bans meat during her performances, requesting seitan “wheat meat” sandwiches be served at her concerts.

So it comes as a surprise that after speaking out against zoos, she’ll be playing at one for her summer tour promoting her latest album, Break Up The Concrete.

The Oversneer at Deceiver.com  explains.

Chrissie Hynde is scheduled to perform at the Minnesota Zoo in August. But during an interview with Australian activist group Animal Liberation, she expressed interest in animals being free.

June: “I despise zoos and circuses with animals. What about you Chrissie?”
Chrissie: “The animals have got to be free.”

Chrissie is not a typical two-faced celebrity, so hearing this news is rather strange. Could it be the result of the forceful hand of a management company dictating an artist’s schedule.

Maybe Chrissie wants to use the opportunity to denounce zoos once she’s on stage.
