Vegetarian Star

Michelle Rodriguez has postponed her work with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society because she wants to spend more time in the ocean and her filming schedule now is preventing that. “I have to go work. I have to go make some money — because I want to do three months,” Rodriguez says in this video. “I don’t want to go for a month and sit around and look cute.” The LOST and Avatar actress discusses how she grew up in an animal-loving vegetarian family and has kind words to say about Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson. “I love Paul. I’ve heard about him since the Green Peace days. He’s been an activist for many, many years. I guess I’ve just always been interested in learning from him…I gotta lot to learn from the guy.” Rodriguez’s lesson will be put on hold until next year as well as fans’ opportunity to watch her in action. Watch the video below for Rodriguez’s wish for all dolphin and whale hunters. (more…)

In addition to a mostly vegan, organic, whole-grain bread company’s English Muffins, Men’s Health Magazine has chosen EDEN Organic company’s beans (EDEN Organic Black Beans, EDEN Organic Spicy Refried Black Beans) found in BPA-free lined cans as one of the “125 Best Foods For Men” in its November 2010 issue.

BPA, short for bisphenol A, is a chemical found in the materials used to line canned food and drink products and an endocrine disruptor associated with abnormalities of the male and female reproductive system as well as some cancers.

For males, BPA has been associated with numerous sexual problems, including reduced sperm count and motility and erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems. Clearly, any male interested in protecting one of his most valuable assets will want to heed Men’s Health advice immediately.

Further evidence that a vegetarian or vegan should never take a job involving handling meat, as your duties may including eating on the job.

It seems at one McDonald’s restaurant in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a manager was required to taste test every day for “quality control.” Naturally, he blew up like a golden arch to 230 pounds and was awarded $17,500 for the damages, enough to purchase some healthy vegetarian items to help get him on his way back to the healthy 154 pounds he weighed on day one of the job.

Jesse Brune, star of the Food Network series “Private Chefs of Beverly Hills,” featuring the chef bending over backwards to the numerous, unique and often eccentric food requests of the rich and famous, recently hosted the entrepreneurs behind Bacon Salt, Justin Esch and Dave Lefkow, on the show.

Brune was invited by an executive chef from a large, nationwide casual dining establishment to incorporate Bacon Salt into some of its popular dishes. If successful, Bacon Salt may find its way into the meals in restaurants around the country.

Why do we care about bacon? Because Bacon Salt is completely vegetarian and no pigs are harmed in its making!

Stella McCartney Kids Leo Sweatshirt

Stella McCartney has launched her first kids collection and is allowing child fashionistas with a techy side to enjoy the fashions via an iphone application, available from itunes for free. A percentage of sales from the Leo sweatshirt, shown above, will benefit the McCartney family Meat-Free Monday campaign, aimed to encourage people to eat vegetarian one day a week to reduce the impact of meat consumption on the environment.

The Collection: Keeping in Stella’s green ethics, the clothing line for boys and girls, aged newborn to 12 years, features modern styles crafted from organic cotton and absolutely no fur. According to ChildMode, every piece of clothing has been given a different child’s name, such as the Lara, an organic baseball shirt with stripes and floral prints.

“I wanted this first collection to include basic pieces that are comfortable and that address a child’s needs, without sacrificing the fun and carefree elements,” Stella said.

Pink fights back for a bull in this video for her song, “Raise Your Glass.”

The video, which also highlights the issues of bullying, same-sex marriage and middle-class issues, features the vegetarian singer stepping in front of a bull and stabbing the matador.

Pink frequently speaks out against animals in the entertainment industry and the use of fur for fashion.

Unfortunately, a bull fighting ban created in Spain’s Catalonia region is already being challenged by an appeal to the Constitutional Court by the Popular Party. The ban is supposed to take effect in 2012. On a positive note, the ban has stimulated animal rights activists in France to work to get a similar measure passed there, where the sport is especially popular in the Southern region.

On a recent episode of “The Tonight Show,” Janet Jackson told Jay Leno what some of her favorite vegan foods are.

Grab the map and start taking notes, because Miss Jackson has suggestions from the Midwest to California to the East Coast.

In LA, Janet likes Vegan Glory for their “great tacos and great chicken McNuggets.”

“There’s a place I go to when I’m home in New York–Red Bamboo. I love their chicken Parmesan…It tastes just like chicken but it’s all soy.”

Janet had to explain to Jay that while in Chicago, she would never eat the “Demon Dog,” hot dog.

We  understand. Seitan is devilish enough.
