Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone just finished filming one of the first scenes for her new film Butter, and it seems she may have been type casted–if only for one scene.

As previously mentioned, the film is about the lives of people involved in a butter carving contest, and is meant to poke fun of the 2008 presidential election where a younger, inexperienced candidate upsets the projected winner.

Alicia’s character protested against Red Ribbon, the company that sponsors the butter carving contest and a competitor wants to use the video of her protest against her.

Ah, yes, you knew there would mudslinging in the politics of butter.

“Basically, my husband, who’s played by Rob Corddry, and I foster home this child who’s been passed from home to home and can’t catch a break. We’re the straight people, so we don’t do anything too ridiculous. But at one point, Jennifer Garner’s character tries to use old footage of [my character] at a PETA rally against Red Ribbon, the fictional butter company that sponsors the contest, to bring down me and my child. I got to wear my PETA shirt.”

During the protest, Alicia’s character throws manure at the butter truck.

Wasn’t she the actress that said dairy was nothing but poo anyway?

Actually, that was pus and blood.

Oh, well. Similar cuisine category.

Ellen DeGeneres Comic Book. Bluewater Productions

Ellen DeGeneres Bluewater Productions Comic Book has already sold out and is being reprinted next month.

That’s great news for the Humane Society of the United States, who benefits from a portion of the proceeds from the book, but members of the Sportsmen’s Alliance are targeting the book’s production company like they target deer in the forest.

After an unsuccessful attempt to halt the book’s relationship with the Humane Society by writing to the publisher, the group posted on their website an urge for members to contact Bluewater individually.

And so they did.

“Headed by vegans” is what one writer said of the Humane Society.

The horror!

“I am amazed that a comics publisher would elevate a person of ‘DeGenerates’ (sic) background …Children are the readers of comics, and they do not need indoctrination into less-than-acceptable lifestyles…”

A more appropriate lifestyle suggestion was not included, but it could be assumed it consists of teaching children to mount animal heads on the wall and eat anything you’re capable of shooting.

Bluewater publisher Darren Davis explained it is completely up to the celebrity what charitable organization profits from sales.

“Ellen chose the Humane Society” said Davis, “an animal rights organisation she has supported for years.”

The Humane Society, as well as any other charity a celebrity featured in the comic book series chooses, receives 30% of the profits from sales.

shoe at peta2.com.

AFI and Blaqk Audio band member Davey Havok has designed a new pair of shoes in collaboration with MacBeth shoes, a very vegan friendly company.

In this video, Havok points out that every component of the shoe is animal part free, including the glue, which often is not.

“Sometimes you’ll find a shoe that you think is vegan, when sadly vegan glue is made of animals,” Havok said.

Hmm…think he means faux vegan glue is made of animals.

The shoes are available in limited edition and information on a nearest store can be located here.

Some men have commented on this site before about the lack of male vegan professional shoes.

Sorry to say these are still in the casual category, but maybe Davey will invent a “Day In the Record Company Corporate Office” line that will suit your fancy.

Moby and co-editor of the book Gristle, Miyun Park, sat down with Grit TV to discuss all things food, factory farming and environment.

Moby’s “beef” is with the subsidization of animal products.

He says these subsidies make meat and dairy cheap, which is why so many of the poor are forced to consume these unhealthy items.

“You go to the inner city and people only have access to cheap, animal products. They don’t have access to fresh produce.”

“That’s why McDonald’s is cheap, why Burger King is cheap,” he continues.

He’d like to see the subsidies cut from these industries.

When you remove the “fat” padding (government subsidies) and price these products based on what it actually costs to produce them, what do you get?

A pound of beef, for example, “Would be roughly around $30 a pound.”

“To truly “go green,” we must start with what’s on our plates. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, 30 percent of the Earth’s ice-free land is now involved – either directly or indirectly – in livestock production. As the world’s appetite for meat increases, countries around the globe are bulldozing huge swaths of land in order to make more room for animals and the crops that feed them.”

“Then there’s the energy required to operate factory farms, feedlots, slaughterhouses and trucks that transport animals and the amount of water that is squandered on animal agriculture (it takes more than 4,000 gallons of water per day to produce food for a single meat-eater compared to 300 gallons needed for a vegan). And don’t forget the edible crops that are used to feed animals instead of hungry, malnourished people. If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day – at every meal.”

—Ingrid Newkirk, president and co-founder of the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in an Earth Day article at the Sacramento Bee titled “There’s No Such Thing as a Meat Eating Environmentalist.”

Ellie Krieger says there are three things you need to know about eating well when there’s little time to prepare foods.

Have foods with a longer shelf life, foods you can easily grab and go and prepare foods ahead of time.

In this video, Krieger substitutes chips and dip for pita chips with protein rich edamame spread for a quick, healthy and delicious snack.

Dipping pita chips in an olive oil mixture with cumin, cayenne pepper and garlic give them a kick, which can be compensated by dipping them in a cool dip made with tofu and edamame.

“These are both different kinds of soy,” Krieger says about the tofu and edamame. “Which is kind of neat because soy has been shown to reduce cholesterol.”

All you need for making your own spicy pita chips and edamame hummus is to watch this video.

Enjoy!
