Dannii Minogue says she’ll be applying Trilogy‘s Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil and The Everything Balm on her baby bump during pregnancy to keep her skin moist.

While rose hip oil is considered safe during pregnancy, not all oils, such as sage and rosemary are, so it’s always best to check with a medical professional and do your own research.

Trilogy is a cruelty-free company that does not test on animals, rather studies are “undertaken by happy human volunteers,” according to its website.

Trilogy Organic Rose Hip Oil

Most Trilogy products are vegan, with the exception of the Intensive Lip Treatment (contains Beeswax), Gentle Facial Exfoliant (contains Honey), Ultra Hydrating Cream (contains Honey), and Everything Balm (contains Honey).

The company has been involved with supporting numerous charitable organizations for both humans and animals, including The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty To Animals, World Society for the Protection of Animals and Choose Cruelty-Free Ltd. Australia.

Jesus In Seitan

Jesus has been found on trees, toast and other objects and now vegetarian Christians, scholars and others interested in the most talked about man from Biblical Times can now claim seeing the central figure of Christianity in seitan, which, ironically, is pronounced “Satan.”

Someone sent a photo to Belief Net and PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in an email, saying the image was discovered after unwrapping a package of prepared seitan.

“I couldn’t beleive [sic] what I saw! Its [sic] Jesus on the cross! I was showing it to my room mates and one of them said, “You’re all about PETA, send it to them!”…Thought it was a real sign for this image of Jesus to appear in my peaceful vegan meal–He was the one who said “Thou shall not kill” and I know He would be against bloody killing of animals in slaughter houses.”

Well said, and commenters on the site pretty much backed up the sentiments in the email.

“That’s cool that the person found Jesus in seitan. Today’s meat, egg and dairy factory farms are the complete opposite of what Jesus taught: kindness for all beings”

Emily Deschanel discusses her motivations for going vegan and her experience at animal sanctuaries in this video interview for “Nights At The Round Table.”

“They are considered commodities,” Deschanel says about animals raised in factory farms, giving examples of the conditions they’re forced to endure and the resulting physical deformities that result.

For example, Deschanel mentions how animals can’t even get it on naturally for the sake of mass produced food. Turkeys have skin that is so thin, they cannot even mate without hurting the bird, so they are artificially inseminated instead.

Will immigration laws like SB 1070 in Arizona lead to a shortage of home grown produce?

The bill that has been deemed one of the toughest in the country, allows state police to stop and ask for I.D. of anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant if there is “reasonable suspicion” and allows officials to arrest if proper I.D. cannot be shown.

One news site conducted an online poll about the bill and received a flood of comments, one of which was:

“If you want illegal aliens out of the us of a, then stop eating all your veggies (organic and nonorganic)…”

The New York Times reported that the Department of Labor estimated about 53% of U.S. farm workers are illegal immigrants.

Not only is worker shortage in the field a possible consequence of immigration laws, but many growers opt to take business outside of the United States entirely.

In the past, cracking down on immigration has caused a reduction of workers in the fields on U.S. farms, with some farmers choosing to grow their crops Mexico where the workers will not be subject to immigration investigations.

Peter Gabriel is throwing his support behind a petition to stop agricultural development in a spot near Bath, Somerset, the Woolley Valley area that inspired his first solo song after leaving Genesis.

The famous “Solsbury Hill” Gabriel wrote about in the 70s overlooks the valley that is comprised of steep winding lanes, small farms and stone villages.

A developer, Golden Valley Paddocks, wants to build mobile chicken units and an alpaca farm on the land that was once an organic farm.

Residents say the area is being ruined by development, which includes a built access road and an agricultural shed, and have formed the Save Woolley Valley Action Group.

“To see this willful violation of planning laws and destruction of a beautiful part of the valley is very upsetting,” Gabriel said, according to the BBC.

Gabriel raised his family in the area for several years and describes it as tight community where neighbors would “share their milk during heavy snowfall.”

The Save Woolley Valley Petition site has some before and after photos of the changes made to the area since development began.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune has made some suggestions for president Barack Obama the next time he goes on an eating outing.

Stay away from the burgers and order some beans!

Obama should hit the veggie restaurants, writes the Food Critic, and partake in a salad bar photo op.

“I realize that, as a man of the people, you have to dig into what the locals eat. When in Buffalo, N.Y., as you were this month, delivering a speech on the troublesome economy to a particularly hard-hit city, you’re not going to be grabbing a steaming mound of quinoa at the local veggie restaurant. But wouldn’t it be cool if you did? But this effort needs a slogan. How do you feel about “Yes We Kale”?”

Make that an order of organic kale.

Obama’s own Cancer Panel recommends it.

"The Black Cat" Martha Grimes

Detective fiction author Martha Grimes has released a new book in the Richard Jury series, “The Black Cat.”

Grimes went vegetarian in 1975 after watching the CBS documentary “The Guns of Autumn,” and has been known to incorporate animal rights themes into her works, according to a 10 Things To Know About Martha Grimes article.

Both her books “Biting the Moon” and “Dakota,” featured animal activists stories, and two thirds of royalties from “Biting the Moon” were donated to animal rights groups and she frequently does appearances for such organizations.
