Phil Mickelson casually said he was working on a veggie burger with Five Guys Burger and Fries restaurant, a franchise he bought the rights to before becoming vegetarian.

A Q & A session with readers at Golf.com reveals he is indeed serious about this, but who knows when Lefty will make it happen. Until then, don’t forget there are several fast food chains that already offer vegetarian patties. No, they aren’t perfect. Many aren’t vegan. Some of them are cooked on the same surface as meat. But if you happen to wander into an establishment during its quieter hours and ask politely, they may clean the grill or toast it in a separate pan or throw it in the microwave.

If you can endure Johnny Rockets singing waiters, there’s a Streamliner patty waiting for you–a Boca Burger with grilled onions, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mustard.

Skin Trade, a documentary on what goes on behind the scenes in the fur industry, is scheduled to be available on DVD September 14th, 2010.

Produced by Shannon Keith, animal rights attorney and founder of Animal Rescue, Media & Education (ARME), a nonprofit animal-advocacy group, Skin Trade is a definite must for activists looking for tools to educate others on what animals turned into fashion endure, but as Ecouterre points out, it shouldn’t necessarily be watched with a bowl of popcorn or your own pet in your lap as its graphic scenes are not for the faint of heart.

Bryant Terry and Jidan Koon kept their wedding details eco-friendly, from holding the ceremony at their home using materials already owned, to using an ethical engagement ring from Brilliant Earth jewelry company.

The custom made sapphire is Jidan’s birthstone.

Brilliant Earth is an ethical jewelry company based in San Francisco that doesn’t source diamonds from regions where forces that are opposed to recognized governments control the areas and funds are used to support military action in opposition to recognized governments.

You may recall recent news stories about Naomi Campbell testifying about a diamond she received from Charles Taylor, a man accused of taking illegally mined diamonds from Sierra Leone insurgents in return for weapons that were used in a campaign of terror which killed 120,000 people and enslaved children.

The Hurlingham Polo Association has launched an investigation into the injury a horse Prince Harry was riding during a game of polo when it suffered a wound oozing visible blood from a spur Harry was wearing.

The incident occurred during a ride at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire, in July.

The association’s rules forbid a rider to use spurs excessively and to wear a spur that is likely to result in the horse being injured. Any abuse from a spur, whip or other device that hurts a horse is also forbidden and can result in a fine of up to 50,000 pounds or $77,000.

Who would think a diet meant to lose baby fat would include ice cream? Dannii Minogue has reportedly kicked up her already healthy eating routine to a notch where there’s only room for organic food and lots of nuts and vegetables six weeks after giving birth to her son, Ethan.

Instead of denying herself something sweet, a source says she enjoys vegan ice cream made from nuts.

“She makes vegan ice cream out of cashews and agave syrup, so she’s got that when she needs something sweet.”

It’s no secret that nuts, soaked in water, blended, creamed and mixed with spices and seasonings, give rise to a multitude of vegan foods like cheese and cream. Vegetarian Star found a recipe for ice cream fashioned from cashews that involves the following ingredients:

• 1 Cup cashews (no need to soak)

• 1 1/2 Cup water

• 1/3 Cup raw agave

• 1/4 tsp salt (+/-)

• 1/3 Cup raisins (this is what adds a buttery flavor)

• 1 vanilla bean

• 1-2 Tbsp Cacao butter or Coconut oil or young coconut meat
