Vegetarian Star

If you’ve ever been ribbed about why soy milk is called milk because it doesn’t come from a cow, here’s another name, albeit vulgar, you can start calling it.

The anchors of Good Day New York were having this discussion because the National Milk Producer’s Federation thinks only products that come from lactating animals should be categorized as milk.

Co-anchor Rosanna Scott suggested soy milk be called “Soy jizzum,” getting both a giggle and embarrassed look from both of her co-workers.

But soy milk does not come from male reproductive organs either.

Apple has rejected the iSealClub application, a game that lets players club seals for points, because it was deemed to have objectionable content, according to The Telegram.

Matt Smyth, the app’s designer, can’t understand the decision, citing there’s no blood in his game and there are other apps that are violent, such as “Grand Theft Auto.”

Smyth said, “They allow other apps, like ‘Trophy Hunt’ for bear and deer and whatnot. I don’t see the difference between killing a seal … and killing a deer. But Apple decides to impose their morals, that they don’t agree with the hunt.”

Could it have anything to do with the values of  Steve Jobs?

The CEO of Apple is a vegetarian who was rumored to have broke off Disney’s ties with McDonald’s years ago shortly after he took over Pixar Animation Studios. Jobs had vocally questioned fast food chains, given their consequences on health.

The Buddhist may have once again taken a stand, using his beliefs about animals to keep material depicting the Canadian Seal Hunt as a game from being available through Apple.

A phone call to Apple from The Telegram was not returned.

Pamela Anderson has just approved the completed male component to her fragrance line, Malibu.

Anderson Tweeted, “I’ve received the final approved Malibu men’s fragrance I’ve been working on. Done. Natural, sexy… Smells Amazing. Coming out soon.”

Brendan Fraser stars in the film Furry Vengeance, about a group of animals in the woods protesting a local real estate developer building on their land.

Despite the humorous storyline, the show obviously has a serious environmental theme to it, which Brendan agrees needs to be taught to children.

He shared his thoughts on this, plus how he gets his kids to eat vegetables with Parade Magazine.

“We all know that we should reuse, recycle, repair, respect, and return to the way we used to do things,” Fraser said. “But I think it’s especially important to remind kids of that. They have great fun when they see this movie, but they also get the point about preserving nature. I was at a screening where some of them were actually quite indignant about the forest and all the creatures great and small being threatened for a development project. They’re rooting for the furry guys all the way through it.”

When it comes to getting his children to eat their greens, all he has to do is threaten them with film takes of dad.

“I had the gag reel from the film with every take of me being humiliated and smashed and trashed. So I’d use it as a reward to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I’d be like, ‘Eat your broccoli and you can watch dad fall down again.’”

Patrick Stump was interviewed by Treehugger at The Climate Rally where he gave his thoughts on the importance of Earth Day.

Stump explained that taking steps to protect the environment is often like other tasks people do in the sense that they wait until it’s an urgent matter instead of planning ahead for the worst.

“I almost feel like there’s going to take there being like 10 whales left before someone to go, ‘Oh, shit, we should stop killing whales’,” he said.

A couple of months ago, Dr. Oz put three Chicago firefighters on a vegan diet.

Mauricio “Mo” Tirado, Egnechles “Iggy” Brown and Doug Crowley have all since lost 20-30 pounds each, according to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Crowley was able to stop taking cholesterol medication, Brown is excited he can see his abs again and oatmeal is starting to grow on Tirado.

The men plan to stick to their diets as much as possible and say that if they do ever consume meat, it will be in very small amounts.

Dr. Oz enlisted the help of The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, a Texas firefighter who got his team into better shape by convincing them to eat vegan at the firehouse.

“Firehouses are the dumping ground of all of America’s leftovers — you couldn’t create a better atmosphere for unhealthy eating,” Esselstyn said. “It’s such a masculine culture — they think you need to eat dairy, eggs and meat and if you don’t you’re a little sissy girl.”

Emily Deschanel recently interviewed with Good.

The Bones actress has been a vegan since she was a teenager, and is involved with animal activism as well, her better known campaign being promoting the Great Ape Protection Act that would end using chimpanzees in medical laboratories and allow them to retire in sanctuaries.

Here are a few highlights from the interview.

Favorite vegan dessert:
I am obsessed with the peanut butter cups from Alica Silverstone’s new book called The Kind Diet. So tasty! I use raw almond butter.

On convincing people to go vegetarian/vegan:
There is a book called The China Study which discusses the largest nutritional study in history. They set out to determine that animal protein was healthy, but the results were the opposite. Sometimes people need to be grabbed by the health angle. I like to let facts speak for themselves.

On natural remedies versus medication:
If I get a headache the first thing I do is drink some water or coconut water. Hydration is a common cause for headaches. Then I check to see if I have been clenching my jaw. I look for the cause instead of covering the symptoms up with medication. Modern medicine has saved many people’s lives, but I do believe in doing research and looking for alternatives before taking something.

Billy Corgan was in deep thought recently when he pondered the true meaning of happiness.

After about 30 seconds, he discovered it, and decided to share on Twitter.

“Happiness is: to thy own-Self be true.”

Later that afternoon he realized that being true involves whipped soy milk and cocoa..

“Actually, happiness IS: to thine own Self be true + a chocolate vegan milkshake!”

Never lose sight of the dream Billy!
