Vegetarian Star

 Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber, who played Lee “Apollo” Adama, is currently starring in a new role as the half naked man urging the Queen’s guards not to put any clothes on either.

Because uniformed guards are sexy, but naked guards are even better.

Technically, he’s urging the Queens’ guards not to put any fur on-their heads. The hats worn by the guards are made from Canadian black bear fur. And as you probably guessed, the bears weren’t just given a “haircut” and sent back into the wilderness.

It takes an entire bear hide to make a single cap.

“I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn’t know about – I’ll be honest,” Bomber said in an interview.

“So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit.”

“The obvious alternative is to make caps out of faux fur. You know, use synthetic materials to avoid killing a beautiful animal. They’re not to keep warm. It’s not particularly freezing outside Buckingham Palace. You could wear something else. And you could certainly wear faux fur.”

Bamber isn’t the first celebrity to take an interest in the hats the guards wear. US singer Pink has also expressed her concern.

You can sign a petition urging officials to use hats from faux fur. Apparently, all the talk is working. The Minister of Defense has said it was open to the idea of a synthetic material that can be worn in all weather.

When the McCartneys get together for a family event, they often enjoy the vegetable roast as a meal.

Now, after several months of reinventing the brand, the Linda McCartney food line, named after Paul’s late wife, is giving other families a chance to come home and enjoy quick, meatless meals at the dinner table.

“Food to Come Home To,” is the new slogan for the food line, which is complete with new packaging and labeling by Irving Designs, with help from the McCartney family, including photographer Mary.

Some aspects of the package remain the same, such as the heart motif, personally drawn by Linda. Of course, the delicious food inside the package hasn’t changed either.

“The previous packaging was not communicating the benefits of the product or the guideline daily amounts, and had no communications on the front edge of the pack,” Irving creative director and founder Julian Roberts said.

Besides a new look, the food line has also added three new meals: Thai green curry, Balti curry and Moroccan tagine.

“I did not like the non-veg food here so I preferred to go in for vegetarian food. We were told that one can get Indian food if ordered. But it was time consuming and I managed with the available veg items for breakfast and meals.”
—Tanvi Lonkar (pictured left), who played the teenage lead role of ‘Slumdog’ lead actress Latika, on the food available for her to eat while in the US. Lonkar cited food as one of the adjustments she had to make in the United States.

Lonkar should also have no problem getting good veg food back home, if she chooses. After visiting the actress’ native country, India, the director of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle,  described it as “Vegetarian Nation.“

Malia and Sasha Obama don’t always go for the green goodies, but according to Mrs. Obama, the closer the carrot, the better the V8. Or something along those lines.

She recently allowed the press into her White House Kitchen before a dinner to honor the nation’s governors where she praised local and sustainable foods, saying that if food is grown locally, “oftentimes it tastes really good, and when you’re dealing with kids, you want to get them to try that carrot.”

“If it tastes like a real carrot, and it’s really sweet, they’re going to think that it’s a piece of candy,” Michelle Obama said, according to the New York Times.

“So my kids are more inclined to try different vegetables if they are fresh and local and delicious.”

She hinted that one of her favorite dishes might be vegan-broccoli cream soup without the cream. 

Mrs. Obama frequently discussed the importance of healthy foods, including those grown locally, while on the campaign trail last year.

 When a known (or even suspected) vegetarian takes a position of power, some meat eaters get a little testy. Just look at what happened when that poor Montana GOP candidate was suspected of eating Boca versus regular burgers.

Obama’s appointed regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein is a vegetarian and co-authored the book Animal Right: Current Debates and New Directions. Some groups are alleging he will try to outlaw meat eating and hunting.

While banning all activities that harm or kill animals, like hunting, may be a long shot (bad pun intended), Sunstein has expressed an interest in banning hunting unless it’s for food and thinks Americans should put animal suffering on the front burner. (But not the front burner for cooking. Another bad pun, indeed.)

He published a paper in 2002 titled The Rights of Animals: A Very Short Primer. Here are a few excerpts:

We should focus attention not only on the “enforcement gap,” but on the areas where current law offers little or no protection. In short, the law should impose further regulation on hunting, scientific experiments, entertainment, and (above all) farming to ensure against unnecessary animal suffering. It is easy to imagine a set of initiatives that would do a great deal here, and indeed European nations have moved in just this direction.

If we focus on suffering, as I believe that we should, it is not necessarily impermissible to kill animals and use them for food; but it is entirely impermissible to be indifferent to their interests while they are alive. So too for other animals in farms, even or perhaps especially if they are being used for the benefit of human beings. If sheep are going to be used to create clothing, their conditions must be conducive to their welfare. We might ban hunting altogether, at least if its sole purpose is human recreation. (Should animals be hunted and killed simply because people enjoy hunting and killing them? The issue might be different if hunting and killing could be justified as having important functions, such as control of populations or protection of human beings against animal violence.)

Currently Craving:
Vegan pancakes from Real Food Daily in L.A., with soy butter and syrup.

—actress Ginnifer Goodwin, on her most recent obsessions, shared with InStyle Magazine. The He’s Just Not That Into You and Big Love actress told late night talk show host Conan O’Brien that being a vegan was like a “party in her body” everyday.

Good to know she’s wearing Stella McCartney’s cruelty-free clothing as well. Besides Real Food Daily, she has been known to pick up veg grub at Vegan Glory.

“I think that’s funny. From personal experience, I eat plenty of stuff with soy and nothing’s happened. I know people who’ve taken testosterone and they’ve gotten gynecomastia from the extra testosterone. So if testosterone can make your body produce more estrogen, then wouldn’t eating something that supposedly raises estrogen levels also raise your testosterone? My body would want to level it out.”

—-Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig, when asked in an interview by Men’s Fitness, “What do you think about the claims that soy protein is estrogenic and will make you grow boobs and cause your balls to fall off?”
