Is this a face you trust for nutrition advice?

Bob Parons, CEO of the domain hosting company GoDaddy.com, was recently criticized for shooting an elephant (an unarmed one at that) during a trip to Zimbabwe.

Parsons has defended his actions, saying the elephants disturb the farmers’ crops and it was used to feed hungry people.

Wait, there’s more.

Just recently, Parsons told CNN that elephants are a “valuable source of protein.”

We can think of dozens of “valuable sources of protein” that don’t contribute to the extinction of an animal, like beans, nuts, grains, tofu, tempeh, seitan and veggie meats.

Thank  goodness this guy’s not contributing to the USDA food pyramid anytime soon.

“I think when you say you’re vegetarian, it hits a button in people. Somewhere deep inside them, they go ‘Ooh. That makes me feel weird. I have to think about what I’m eating. That’s hard!’ But vegetarians can be painfully self-righteous. I’ve been a vegetarian for 30 years and I’ve certainly gone through militant phases where Chrissie Hynde and I have been like, ‘Fuck you, meat eaters!”

–k.d. Lang, on how she’s gotten a little nicer about being a vegetarian over the years. Of course, many people, especially in her hometown where cattle is king, haven’t always been nice to her.

A blogger at Vegansaurus was lucky enough to snag tickets to Martha Stewart‘s vegan episode.

Martha hosted Twitter’s Biz Stone, Veganist author Kathy Freston and Farm Sanctuary’s president and co-founder Gene Baur for food demonstrations, animal farm discusses and all things vegan.

When asked if she was ready to make the switch to veganism, Martha said she was on her way there, and told a story about how traumatized she was from a beef purchase that left her, not stained for life, but definitely tarnished.

Newsweek ran an article on vegan CEOs. The Wall Street Journal talked about almond milk. If periodicals with readerships in the millions are talking about veggies regularly, we must be on our way to world where more meals eaten by the majority of people are plant-based.

Recently, WSJ ran an article called “Meet the Meaty Veggies,” where it discusses how popular chefs like Blue Hill’s Dan Barber cook up veggies for herbivores and meat eaters alike.
