Amanda Seyfried knows who the Alpha Dog is when it comes to pets.

The actress took a trip to FedEx to mail a package and wore her Adopt Don’t Buy. Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs Chances t-shirt available from PETA.

The fitted tee is 100% cotton and hand-made in the U.S.A. in downtown Los Angeles.

The actress who’s had roles in All My Children, Means Girls and other films realizes not only does adopting a shelter dog reduce the millions of animals euthanized each year, but it increases your chances of owning a dog that is less prone to hereditary disorders that lead to sickness, disease, disability or even premature death due to generations of inbreeding.

Meatless Mouthful–Alicia Silverstone Wants You To Be Kind To Yourself

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 31st, 2011 in Actresses, Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

No Comments

“I wanted people to have an opportunity to really be kind to themselves—once and for all, have everything they ever dreamed of, like the strongest immune system, the most beautiful skin, increased energy so they are just so vital, and reduced risk of illness—from the really scary ones like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis to allergies and asthma. The great news is that in that process you are also being kind to the planet and also kind to other creatures and also kind to children and people of the world who have no food. So it really just sums up what is possible through our food choices.”

–Alicia Silverstone, during an interview with Gourmet Live on her book, The Kind Diet. The entire interview with Gourmet Live is available through the free Gourmet Live app, which can be downloaded here.
