Mike Tyson

Oh, boy. Somebody tell Mike Tyson about the wonderful vegan candy bars available

During an interview with Details magazine, Tyson reveals he won’t even cheat for his formerly beloved Baby Ruth and that meat is the new poison.

Details: So you’re going to go the rest of your life without eating a candy bar?
Mike Tyson: Maybe so. I’m pretty fucking extreme.

Details: Not even a Baby Ruth?
Mike Tyson: Oh, man, that’s the best. Chocolate and peanuts. Nah. I ate, like, the tiniest piece of meat, and I woke up violently sick. It was vicious pain. I was throwing up. And I realized meat’s become a poison for me now.

Vegan Go Max Go bars have replicated all your favorite candy bars without the butter and milk.

“Alice + Olivia” Stacey Bendet Going To Hell For Fur Wearing Vegans

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 15th, 2010 in Fashion, Fur.

Stacey Bendet

Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet won’t put anything except a plant in her mouth, but when it comes to designing her fashions, her ethics are a little less loose.

She’s aware of this contradiction and knows very well there’s a special place in hell for vegans who wear fur, where she’ll meet foxes, rabbits and chinchillas who will skin her alive, replacing her hide with bad, retro fashion from the 70s.

Pamela Anderson "All Animals Have The Same Parts" PETA

Pamela Anderson "All Animals Have The Same Parts" PETA

Pamela Anderson has been banned in her own home country!

When the vegetarian actress requested permission to debut her new PETA ad in the city of Montreal, officials gave her the thumbs down because of the partial nudity. The ad, shown here, reads, All Animals Have The Same Parts. Have a Heart. Go Vegetarian. Anderson’s “parts” are divided into breast, rump, ribs, legs, etc. showing where similar cuts of animal meat comes from.

Anderson will still be able to debut the ad Thursday evening, but it will be without the city’s blessing, as officials say it has hints of sexism in it.

“On one hand we’re working for an organization where we’re getting reminded on a daily basis that we should work in a sexism-free environment and that equality between men and women and the image of women is very important,” said Montreal film commissioner Daniel Bissonnette, who denied the permit.

Why is our approval rating of the Food Network rising? Hmm..There’s this reason. And that one. And now, one more vegan friendly company, Xan Confections, will be showcased on the nationally televised show, Unwrapped, this weekend on July 17.

Unwrapped is a show that traces the origins of food from the very first speck of flour, and Xan Confections will detail how chocolate expert and director of research and development Tracey Downey created unique dairy and sometimes gluten-free sweets, such as the non-dairy ancho chili caramel, containing Alderwood smoked salt and ancho chili flavoring. There’s also six flavors of the signature vegan Jewel caramels–coconut pecan, espresso almond, butterscotch snickerdoodle and bananas foster.

Raw chef guru Bryan Au has his own iphone application.

The Eco Chef App, available from itunes for $1.99, offers dozens of raw, organic, vegetarian and vegan recipes from lasagna to desserts. The user can pick recipes from several cuisine types like American, Italian, Indian and Chinese, which are given as either listed instructions or how to videos. There is also an opportunity to ask Chef Bryan those tricky questions like “Can I substitute walnuts for cashews in the raw cheese?” Personally, we’d stick with the cashews, but it’s best to clear that up with Chef Bryan.

Debuting last month, Eco Chef became quite popular, rising to the top 10 lists of apps on itunes by July 4th.

See below for a video reviewing the features of Eco Chef App.

Olivia Munn PETA

Olivia Munn joined protesters from Last Chance for Animals and PETA in Los Angeles  Staples Center recently to speak against Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey, which is performing in the city through Sunday.

Munn said, “When you look at something like the circus and everyone’s laughing and there’s color and there’s music and everything seems so great. But when you go right behind that door and they’re in these crates all day long and then they’re getting shocked and beat just so they can get up and dance around on a ball … it was just so sickening.”

Each and every individual consuming an Otarian meal makes a small but meaningful difference to the planet and all its inhabitants. And if one Otarian meal saves a kilogram of carbon emissions and grain, or a litre of water or oil, imagine the cumulative benefits of Otarian eating.”
