Vegetarian Star

In celebration of him going vegan, former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, will get his own set of “happy cows” and chickens dancing for him.

ABS-CBN News reports the event will occur when Clinton visits the Philippines capital on Wednesday to deliver a speech.

“The dancing “cow” and “chicken” will wait outside the Manila Hotel on November 10, where Clinton will deliver a keynote speech. They will hold signs that read “Be Like Bill: Grill Veggies, Not Meat” and “Chicks Love Slim Vegan Bill!,” recognizing the former US President’s efforts to stay healthy for his future grandchildren.”

Will Bill join the characters and show off his new vegan athletic prowess by doing the funky no-slaughter chicken?

“Since I was a kid, my family became vegetarians and I didn’t want to be left out so I became a vegetarian as well… That’s a lot of discipline for a kid to give up candy and all that good stuff… but I bounce back and forth. There are times when I’m a vegetarian, times when I’m a pescatarian. But I don’t eat meat… I’m still tempted… there’s so much that I love.”

—Janet Jackson, on trying to stay veg. Don’t know of any candy that contains meat, but for anyone with a sweet tooth struggling to stay vegan, did you know there is a list of accidentally vegan candy you may not even know you’re not cheating with?

How food gets from the farm to your plate is becoming an increasingly popular topic, given the fact most conscious eaters want to know what they eat was grown under environmentally friendly conditions for the planet and farm workers and had minimum impact, if any, on animals.

The farm is also where many food education programs take children as part of an initiative to get them to eat better once they’ve become acquainted with how produce is grown and harvested.

Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman and Jenny and Heather Goldberg of Spork Foods, a company that offers organic, vegan cooking classes in the LA area, visited a farm to learn the ins and outs of produce growing.

In between chit chatting with the “meat-eating farmer,” Freedman discusses vegan issues, such as cruelty to male chicks in the egg industry and what motivated her to give up animal products as well as environmental changes that have affected the nutrition and safety of our food.

Alicia Silverstone is guest blogging at VegNews, and she’s sharing some of her favorite veg and eco-friendly items for fall.

“I’ve seen some great, eco-friendly pieces this season! I love when mainstream companies that are not vegan at all come out with kind products—progress. And if we all support their kinder products, they’ll be more inclined to stop using leather and other nasty materials.”

Some of Silverstone’s faves are completely vegan, while she’s encouraging other companies to expand their cruelty-free selection by giving their more ethical products more exposure.

One piece you may find tucked in her closet (if she’s not currently wearing it), is the Cowl neck tunic w/thumb hole sleeve by Eco Skin that is 92% hemp and 8% spandex. And if you like the tunic below, you’ll love the company’s green initiatives.

Diane Keaton makes time for community activism in between raising children and reciting lines on screen. These are just as equally important as her acting, as she told MSNBC her outside interests were included as goals for her future career.

“I’m on the board of the Los Angeles Conservancy. I care about buildings and I care about restoring buildings and I care about protecting buildings from being torn down. I’m an animal advocate. I’m on the board of the Helen Woodward Animal Center, which is down in San Diego, a leading proponent of the no-kill situation for dogs and pets and people, adopt a dog, you know.”

The Los Angeles Conservancy has worked to defend some of the historic areas as LA designated through HPOZ, or Historic Preservation Overlay Zones. At times, some residents have fought HPOZ, stating it hurts their ability to make a building more eco-friendly, but according to the Conservancy, just the opposite is true.

“We’ve all seen how drastic alterations, teardowns, and McMansions can destroy a historic neighborhood’s unique character.”

We’ve already discovered that Steve Wynn has changed his will to include donations to the Humane Society if he should go to that big casino in the sky anytime soon.

Wynn insists he’s nowhere near that point, but still wanted to show his concern for animals.

He told Las Vegas Weekly:

“I’ve become an animal rights activist. I’m taken care of myself for the rest of my life. So I decided to change my will the last few days in case I croak. I’m not about to, and I’m not planning on that for a long time. But I’ve changed my will to show my concern for animal rights.”

Wynn explained that conditions found in factory farms were some of the motivators to change his diet and will.
