Water for Elephants is a film starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon about a young veterinary student named Jacob Jankowski who joins a traveling circus to care for the animals. Although he loves all the animals, there is one in particular, an elephant named Rosie, that attracts his attention the most.

“Elephants are the most sophisticated, gentle creatures you could possibly hope to work with,” Pattinson said.

Scenes in movie depict elephants covered in blood and suffering from bruises and injuries. But the American Humane Association had monitors on the set and have given the film their trademarked certification of “No Animals Were Harmed” in the making.

“Before I became a vegetarian I was a huge hamburger fan. It’s not quite the national food of Canada (that would be beer, or maybe poutine, but probably beer) but hamburgers are for everyone, even us. Then, after I gave up meat, I became a huge veggie burger fan and that’s when I had my revelation: it wasn’t the meat that mattered to me. From where I was eating, the hamburger was simply a delivery device for condiments and lettuce and onions and cheese and tomatoes and bread. Those wan soy patties fell into the background and all those condiments, that turned out to be my true love, rushed to the fore.”

–Amanda Cohen, founder and owner of Dirt Candy, a vegetable restaurant in New York City. This week has been burger week at Eater, and Cohen’s post for the Veggie Burger Power Hour wraps up the work week.

At first, Vegetarian Star thought it might not be a good idea to talk about Mayim Bialik being named one of the Top 20 Jews in the Arts by Shalom Life.

Bialik hates gossip, so she should probably wouldn’t be happy to know we like to talk about everything vegan in her life like her vegan pediatrician for her son Miles or her double chocolate brownies recipe.
