Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone and Olivia Wilde are two vegan sisters on the screen in the upcoming political satire film Butter, where an inexperienced butter carver upsets the older projected winner.

Alicia plays the adoptive mother of the young inexperienced carver, while Olivia is the stripper meant to distract the champ with her…dairy delights.

Between the two vegan Butter stars, who would you rather…

Bea Arthur "McCruelty" PETA Ad

It’s been said before that celebrities make more money from their graves than alive.

In the case of Golden Girl Bea Arthur, let’s hope that statement is true for the impact they make as well.

On Thursday, Arthur will be featured in a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune as part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign against McDonald’s.

“It’s enough to make Bea Arthur roll over in her grave,” is the tagline of the ad that describes how the animal rights group is dissatisfied with the fast food giant’s current methods of slaughtering chicken, and urges it to adopt another USDA approved method that is less painful and more humane.

The method is supported by McDonald’s animal welfare advisors, but its CEO Jim Skinner is currently calling the shots that ring “No.”

The ad’s message ends with Arthur’s character Maude’s famous haunting saying, “God’ll get you for that,” to Skinner.

Remember when you tried a shiitake mushroom for the first time?

Different in taste and texture from the white button ones you consumed on pizza at the county fair, yet a great experience that hopefully led to many more.

Mario Batali‘s latest cookbook, Molto Gusto, may have you meeting new vegetables, according to The Buffalo News.

“Some of the vegetables in “Molto Gusto” are relatively obscure – salsify, cardoons, black kale, sunchokes – but the breadth of vegetable preparations in “Molto Gusto” is infectious. Armed with Batali’s suggestions, it seems, readers could tackle almost any vegetable they bring home.”

Let’s get to know these one at a time.

Sunchoke: Jerusalem artichoke
Salsify: A flowering plant, also known as goatsbeard. Described as having the taste of oysters.
Cardoon: May be used as a vegetarian source for enzymes in cheese production.
Black Kale: Member of the cabbage family nicknamed Curley or Dinosaur.

We’re thinking meeting them all in a big taste test would be awesome.

Kinda like vegetable speed dating.

On a recent episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, Jamie Oliver is peeved whenever the pink milk he thought he sent packing from the school cafeteria in the town where he’s trying to change people’s eating habits showed up only days later.

Just like Jamie found out french fries count wonderfully as a vegetable, he learned pink milk, despite the sugar content, makes a good source of calcium according to USDA standards.

“Clever! I never thought that if you put sugar in everything they’d eat it more!” Jamie said.

If we only had more Jamies to challenge the dairy milk requirement in schools across the country, our students would be in better shape.

According to Healthy School Lunches, flavored milks such as strawberry or chocolate, may contain as much or more sugar than soda.

Not to mention the numerous studies that have linked cow’s milk to health ailments like constipation, obesity, anemia, ear infections, respiratory issues and cancer.

Pink milk will definitely not turn boys into strong men.

And to think it was soy milk and male boobs people were worried about.

“This is a disappointment, of course. But not just for thousands of innocent badgers. The irony is that it is ultimately a tragedy for farmers, too – the very farmers who have been pushing for badgers to be culled. The decision to cull cannot lead to any significant long-term gain in the fight against bovine TB, even with the complete extermination of our native badgers. I believe all this will be seen in a few years time for what it is … a tragic wrong turn which did nothing to solve the problem of TB in cattle.”

—Brian May, Queen guitarist, PhD, vegetarian and animal activist on the recent decision of the a judge to reject a legal challenge against a cull of badgers in Wales in an attempt to control bovine TB.

Johnny Weir will make fur fly among animal rights activists again when he launches his own line of clothing.

The Olympic figure skater who was the target of such activists when he wore an outfit with rabbit fur trim on the ice says he wants to be “sewing buttons and putting fur trim on things” himself.

In an interview with the LA Times, Weir said, “I definitely want to get a clothing line off the ground, but I need a lot of leg work. You don’t want to be somebody that has someone else make them a line of clothing and put their name on it.”

Among the designs he admires, Weir lists Karl Lagerfeld and the Chanel lines as favorites.

“I collect Chanel even if I can’t wear it. I have these beautiful 1950s and 1960s jackets. I would have to have the buttons switched over to the other side, but I collect them more like art pieces.”

Lagerfeld, who’s known for his collections of fur, recently changed gears and featured an all faux Chanel fashion show.

Hopefully, Weir will take after one of his heroes and put the fake fur trim on collars.

Play Dead is a new zombie comedy that combines the football fanaticism of Friday Night Lights with the horror of Night of the Living Dead.

A high school football team is murdered by a rival team in a football obsessed town.

A witch brings them back to life to take the championship and save their own souls, complete with gory play by plays.

In this clip, director Doug Sakmann makes a horse corpse from meat bought from a supermarket.

Completely disgusting and uncalled for, especially considering how easy it is to make fake flesh props for the screen like those used in Suck.

Feel sorry for actress Kate Boyer, who’s standing around the mess and is reportedly a vegan.

Josie Maran has her own line of cosmetics that are sourced from natural ingredients and are not tested on animals.

Maran was the face of Maybeline for a decade and soon realized she was more than just a pretty face for the cosmetic industry–she was an entrepreneur as well.

Launched in 2006, the products she prides on being free of toxic ingredients such as parabens and petrochemicals are being demanded by celebrity make up artists that do work for stars like Megan Fox.

The model who tries to eat organic and vegetarian as much as possible made a list of things never to put in her eyeliner, lipstick and blush and stuck with it.

“I have a no-no list and I aim to make my products as natural and organic as possible,” Maran told The Daily Green. “Everything has to be nontoxic. We have no parabens, no petrochemicals. We’re always reformulating. My goal is to make products nontoxic and healthy. You have to be realistic about getting high performing makeup. There are chemicals that aren’t toxic. We’ve put them together in a new way that’s not toxic. You have to ask a a lot of questions of the lab. And we’re doing as much research into the ingredients as possible and reformulating when things aren’t as good as they could be.”

Maran says when it comes to ingredients, less is more.

If you’re spending your entire lunch hour reading the bottle at the drug store, you should probably leave it on the shelf.
