Bob Barker recently cut the ceremony ribbon at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California to symbolize the reopening of the rescue organization after being damaged from storms that hit the area last December.

Bob Harper disappointed vegan fans recently when he admitted to Star Magazine he occasionally cheats on his what was presumed to be a vegan diet. After reading the entire Star story, some would agree that Bob the vegan is really a flexitarian who eats mostly plants.

And now, more evidence reveals Harper is slipping further away from the decision he claims saved his cholesterol levels from doom.

“While I understand those natural reactions to the killing of these creatures, I think we owe Zuckerberg some plaudits, not only for reminding people that eating meat involves the killing of animals, but also for recognizing that it’s morally dubious to simply pass the “dirty work” off to an anonymous slaughter plant worker.

Of course Artest loves animals, but even the greatest animal lover in the world might be a little uneasy working with the unusual co-stars of the PSA, which include a python, a large bird, a possum and even a, ahem, “bear.”

Watch the video below for four minutes of hilarity.

What evidence exists that more and more people are reducing their meat intake?

At least 18% of Americans are implementing Meatless Mondays in their diets.

More corporations are putting vegetarians entrees in the cafeteria.

Even the Facebook guy won’t “Like” anything he didn’t kill himself.

And when Emeril Lagasse‘s fans pick a portobello mushroom veggie burger as the second best burger in the Viewer’s Choice Burger Bonanza, you know less beef is going in America’s shopping baskets.
