Vegetarian Star

Two vegan gents represented Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Animals this year.

John “spider legs” Salley hosted the event, which took place in over 75 U.S cities and even included a “virtual” walk while Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper served as the celebrity spokesperson.

Guess it comes down to whether you want to gulp down Salley’s homemade root beer or munch on Harper’s Roasted Cauliflower as a side dish with your veggie burger.

Between the two celebrity Farm Sanctuary representatives, who would you rather…

Alicia Silverstone has blogged about the truth behind the dairy industry, even farms labeled “organic” and what it means to millions of dairy cows in the world.

Organic dairy requirements basically require the farmer comply with the following rules:

* All feed must be organic
* Animals must have unrestricted access to pasture
* No antibiotics or hormones are allowed, with the exception that sick animals must be treated as needed and removed from the herd

But, as Silverstone points out, organic does not necessarily mean animals are treated more humanely and ultimately every cow that becomes depleted of the ability to produce milk is sent to slaughter.

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.
