Goldfish

PETA blasted the G20 Summit in Seoul, Korea for using live goldfish to test the purity of the water in the bathrooms.

Officials of the event to discuss the global financial system and world economy used the fish purity test as one of several security measures implemented for the conference which ended on November 12th.

Several studies have shown fish can feel pain like mammals. University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow researchers, for example, found fish pain receptors were very similar to mammals. These and other facts were included in PETA’s letter to G20, along with the suggestion to use more sophisticated methods to test the water.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 12th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

Downtown Disney, a shopping and dining area at Disneyworld Resorts in Florida, has severed its ties to the McDonald’s restaurant once located in the complex and replaced it with BabyCakes’ Bakery, the famous shop with headquarters in New York and Los Angeles offering vegan, gluten-free and often sugar-free cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other sweets.

According to Inside the Magic, the Disneyworld BabyCakes is located at West Side and Marketplace, near the LEGO Store and T-Rex restaurant.

BabyCakes became famous after several celebrities like Pamela Anderson gave their thumbs up to owner Erin McKenna‘s creations lacking butter, milk and eggs. McKenna has since published a cookbook with the restaurant’s most popular desserts and has appeared on television shows like Martha Stewart.
