Smart USA PETA Spay and Neuter Wrap

An environmentally friendly car with a message to save millions of cats and dogs from euthanasia? Only the marketing folks at PETA would think of something so clever!

Smart USA, the maker of the compact, fuel-efficient two person vehicle, has partnered with Sanrio to bring treehuggers car wraps with the Hello Kitty logo on them.

PETA is asking Smart USA to take things a bit further and place a message about spaying and neutering pets on the wraps.

Is Phil Mickelson having second thoughts about going vegetarian to ease his symptoms of psoriatic arthritis?

From comments made to the press, it seems Mickelson is either unsure if the diet is helping his condition or he’s afraid the turkey will get the best of him for Thanksgiving.

“I’ve been doing it for just over four months and I’m just having second thoughts,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know if it really is going to make a difference or what. So we’ll see. We can talk about it in January, and I’ll have a better idea — see how the holidays go.”

Instead of getting disappointed over how his lefty is responding, Mickelson should also consider the other physical conditions a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent–like heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity–something his multiple burger a week habit will surely bring on if he returns to that lifestyle.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

Kim Barnouin doesn’t think there can be too many cookbook authors in the kitchen.

During an interview with UK’s So Feminine, the co-author of Skinny Bitch and author of her recently released cookbook, Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook, said recipe developers and food writers should definitely pursue their passion of writing deliciously.

“When you find the thing that you are passionate about, go after it 100%. There will never be too many cookbook authors. I love cookbooks so much and I am always on the lookout for new ones. Finding your specific niche can help narrow down your book ideas and help you focus on creating your specific style.”

Fortunately for vegetarians, vegans and those looking to reduce animal products in their diets, cookbook trends have shown the market is welcoming this guidance with open arms.

The midterm elections are over, but one former politician will be asking for your vote soon, as PETA holds its Sexiest Vegetarians contest for 2011.

Insiders reveal former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is definitely a candidate.

“Clinton will surely be a popular nominee in next year’s contest,” said PETA’s Jaime Zalac, according to U.S. News and World Report.

On the advice of two famous physicians and authors, Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Clinton turned to a plant-based diet in hopes it may repair some of the damage to his cardio system he’s sustained over the years after learning of a study that showed most individuals who stopped eating animal products were able to reverse signs of heart disease.

“The notion that you need animal food as protein is one of the great conspiracies of bullshit by the government. Did we not all grow up saying we had to have four glasses of whole milk a day for healthy bones? It’s ridiculous. It’s liquid cholesterol.”

—Steve Wynn, entrepreneur behind the famous Las Vegas Wynn Casinos who was rumored to have turned vegan weeks ago. If there was any doubt about the rumor, it’s definitely official–Wynn’s vegan and is talking all about it at Las Vegas Weekly, from putting vegan items on his restaurant menus to how going vegan lowered his cholesterol to the DVD he distributed to all his employees that made him stop eating meat the moment he watched it, Eating.

Two vegan gents represented Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Animals this year.

John “spider legs” Salley hosted the event, which took place in over 75 U.S cities and even included a “virtual” walk while Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper served as the celebrity spokesperson.

Guess it comes down to whether you want to gulp down Salley’s homemade root beer or munch on Harper’s Roasted Cauliflower as a side dish with your veggie burger.

Between the two celebrity Farm Sanctuary representatives, who would you rather…

Alicia Silverstone has blogged about the truth behind the dairy industry, even farms labeled “organic” and what it means to millions of dairy cows in the world.

Organic dairy requirements basically require the farmer comply with the following rules:

* All feed must be organic
* Animals must have unrestricted access to pasture
* No antibiotics or hormones are allowed, with the exception that sick animals must be treated as needed and removed from the herd

But, as Silverstone points out, organic does not necessarily mean animals are treated more humanely and ultimately every cow that becomes depleted of the ability to produce milk is sent to slaughter.
