Seth Rogen narrated the children’s story, The Story of Ferdinand, better known as Ferdinand the Bull, as the Salastina Music Society performed a composition by Alan Ridout at the Salastina Music Society debut concert.

Originally published in the 1930s, The Story of Ferdinand tells of a happy go lucky, passive bull who would rather be enjoying nature than fighting with other animals or partaking in bullfights.

Martha Stewart Clean Glass Cleaner

So Martha Stewart‘s line of cleaning products made from plants, minerals and containing no animal by-products or testing may have taken a publicity knock after Consumer Reports said the laundry detergent cleaned no better than plain water.

However, a Post -Gazette writer is reporting trying 6 of 10 Martha Stewart Cleaning Products other than the detergent and being pleased with the results, especially the glass cleaner.

“The glass and mirror cleaner was the best I have ever used. It left them streak-free, and my cleaning cloth had black dirt on it (I had just done the windows two weeks earlier with another green product.) Once I had done a few windows, I saw how dirty they were and had to tackle the rest.”

Jane Lynch, who plays the cunning and caustic cheerleading coach on the Fox television series Glee, would rather beat the crap out of Vocal Adrenaline than an animal.

Her character, Sue Sylvester, had a few lines on the Mash Up episode that originally threatened Glee coach Will Schuester by letting him bond with a cat before ending its life.

Um, yeah, even if this is television, that doesn’t belong in any conversation.

“I’m not going to say that,” Lynch said of her lines. “I work for PETA. I can’t say kill the cat.”

The script was changed to reflect adopting an animal from a shelter and punching Schuester instead. Nice work!

“I’ll need to see the set list for sectionals, after all. I want them on my desk warm from the laminator at 5 p.m. If it is one minute late, I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night, I will steal away into your home and punch you in the face.”

Jonathan Safran Foer has an interview with Good.is where he recalls a recent poll he read that discovered most people are willing for fork over extra dough for what goes on their fork.

“I just read a recent poll that 70 percent of Americans are willing to spend more money for more ethically produced food. This isn’t San Francisco or New York; it’s the whole country. That’s an amazing number. People care about this stuff.”

The study, more than likely is from the national survey conducted by Context Marketing, which not only found 7 out of 10 people willing to pay more for ethical food, but 70% believe it’s better for the environment, 60% believe it’s healthier and 58% believe it’s safer to consume.

Daryl Hannah says she likes traveling with French Fries To Go director Harris Chard.

“I travel with him because he enjoys other cultures and people. He is fascinated about learning, well – everything!”

French Fries To Go is an award winning documentary that follows the journey to convert the first city bus in the nation to 100% biodiesel from used vegetable oil. If you’re interested in driving a vehicle fueled by veggie oil that doesn’t require a chauffeur’s license, there are numerous vegetable oil conversion kits that are reviewed here, which can either be installed yourself or by a mechanic.

You may also have questions about what your investment in converting such a vehicle will do.

Frybrid, one of the manufacturers of such a kit, has provided a Q & A section on their website to answer your burning questions such as “Will this void my warranty?” to “Which vehicles are the best candidates for vegetable oil conversion?

Daniel Bryan has been ousted from the WWE!

Because removing a vegan from any sports competition is a major blow to vegetarians everywhere, PETA has personally written a letter to Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, asking for Bryan to be reinstated.

“Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA’s Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass.”

“I spent the summer living at the Taj Majal Hotel and Casino, and in the spring of 1994 I decided to set up shop there. I bought a nice house in the Atlantic City area and kept it as my personal haven – a place that could be a permanent home for myself all my many books, and transformational tapes. A sanctuary where I could relax and enjoy my life and pursue my passion for healthy vegetarian cooking.”

After the U.S. soccer team tied with Slovenia on Friday, representative Dennis Kucinich received some complaints on his Facebook that had nothing to do with politics.

Fans questioned the offsides penalty call player Maurice Edu received after what would have been a winning goal for the U.S.

“If Edu was offsides then I’ll eat a hamburger,” Kucinich told his followers.

Relax, guys. Of course he was only joking.

Still, thank goodness, the ref, Koman Coulibaly, was dropped from the next round of World Cup Games. Wouldn’t want to hear any threats of Kucinich consuming a cheese log and milkshake over the next penalty call. Maybe he should feed the U.S. team vegan chocolate chip brownies as a consolation prize.
