Miss Newfoundland Sarah Green. Anti-seal hunting group posted this doctored photo on Facebook.

An anti-seal hunting group posted a doctored photo of bloodied Miss Newfoundland, Sara Green on a Facebook page.

The photo was later removed, but Green is continuing to talk and voice her support for the hunt.

“It was gruesome. It was unnecessary … when I saw the photo, of course my jaw dropped,” Green said. “I couldn’t believe it, but it gave me a bigger motivation to stand up for the seal hunt.”

Green also stated she planned to join her grandfather and uncle during the upcoming seal hunt in the spring.

Camille Labchuk, a member of the Green Party of Canada’s federal council said, “No compassionate person can observe the seal kill and still support it. What it represents is an archaic industry that is going nowhere but downhill. Countries around the world are shutting their borders to seal products.”

Granted, the photo is gruesome looking. But so are pictures from the annual hunts.

Is this a case of activists going too far?

Or compassionate realists trying to expose the truth?

Joe Rollino

Famed weightlifter and boxer known as Kid Dundee, Joe Rollino has passed at the age of 104.

Sources are saying Rollino was a longtime vegetarian who also shied away from alcohol and other substances, which might explain why he lived to be a centenarian.

The Chicago Sun Times is reporting he ate oatmeal every morning.

Natalie wore a Target dress with the price tag of only $39.99.

According to Glamour, this isn’t the first time Nat has been spotted in bargain clothing, as she wore a pair of $80 Aldo shoes at another red carpet event.

Who said vegan fashion was expensive!

Nemi Volume 3

Looking for a goth comic strip starring one unconventional veg gal?

Look no further than the Nemi Volume 3 collection by Norwegian artist Lisa Myhre.

Volume 3 features Nemi and her sidekick Cyan searching for the meaning of life and love and men.

Sounds vague and kinda boring, but Nemi is a character known for making bars her second home and having a temper that results in losing her job after beating a customer for buying Christina Aguilera and not Alice Cooper.

Yikes!

Hate to know what she does to her stepmother, Evilina, who wears fur to the mostly vegetarian, but sometimes fish consuming Nemi’s objection.

Michael Pollan is a hit or miss with vegetarians.

Not a veg himself, he lost even more popularity points by calling the vegans neurotic.

But he does call for an end to excessive fast food, less consumption of meat and a return to the kitchen to cook your own food.

That includes your own junk food.

In an interview with the New York Times, Michael discusses one his latest book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, and shares one rule about eating junk food.

“Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.” That gets at a lot of our issues. I love French fries, and I also know if I ate French fries every day it would not be a good thing. One of our problems is that foods that are labor or money intensive have gotten very cheap and easy to procure. French fries are a great example. They are a tremendous pain to make. Wash the potatoes, fry potatoes, get rid of the oil, clean up the mess. If you made them yourself you’d have them about once a month, and that’s probably about right. The fact that labor has been removed from special occasion food has made us treat it as everyday food. One way to curb that and still enjoy those foods is to make them. Try to make your own Twinkie. I don’t even know if you can. I imagine it would be pretty difficult. How do you get the cream in there?”

Hey, if the producers of Zombieland can make a vegan Twinkie for Woody Harrelson, it’s worth a try at home!

Looking good while protecting the Earth has never been easier or more fashionable, according to an article in the Times Online, which drops well known names such as Stella McCartney and the Matt & Nat brand of handbags.

Stella has extended her collection of leather and fur free items to include organic dresses.

Says the Times:

“It’s now possible to dress ethical for most situations that life throws at you. Bllack Noir, the new, cheaper line from the edgy eco-brand Noir, is great for sparkly party pieces, and you can even go eco in the office with Ascension’s smart tailoring. This new marriage of ethics and exciting design is cause for celebration, especially if you believe in the principle of looking good.”

The Times has conveniently offered ethical designer selections for evening wear, casual, jewelry and office wear.

Going out for a night on the town?

“Bllack Noir uses Fairtrade organic fabrics and runs community projects for its factory workers; Annie Greenabelle, Tara Starlet and Matt & Nat use reclaimed materials; and vegans can feel good about partying in Melissa’s plastic heels.”

Find the best suggestions for ethical jewelry and more at The Times Online.

Jason Mraz has five commitments he’d like to stick to in the next year and decade that he shared with fans on his blog.

Jason would like to focus on local, organic and natural foods and gives factory farmed meat a good lashing.

“Did you know that processing one pound of meat requires 5000 gallons of water? Did you know that 1 cow used to produce fast food and grocery store ground beef requires 35 gallons of oil (1 barrel) to support it’s force–fed life? Did you know that cows are natural herbivores (grass grazers) and are force fed corn feed, cow parts and other animal bi-products to speed up the process to where they are fat enough to be slaughtered?  Buying quick and easy meat is like biting the hand that feeds you. Modern industrial agri-business is THE #1 contributor to the dying world.”

But a closer look at his post makes you wonder if the otherwise known as mostly vegan Jason is more tolerant of naturally raised meat.

“If we all shifted our attention back to grass-fed meat, we would be supporting farms that participate in a natural turning of land, from sunlight to grass, grass to proteins, protein to fertilizer, rinse and repeat. Not to mention, we would be treating our divine bodies better.”

Once a raw vegan who then claimed to have some occasional hot soup and (possibly) joking about eating a fish taco now and then.

Has Jason become a flexitarian?
