Vegetarian Star

The producer of The King’s Speech has settled a dispute over the use of a phrase intended to let viewers know animals were treated humanely during the making of a film.

The phrase “No Animals Were Harmed” is a trademark owned by the American Humane Association and may only be used in films where the AHA has given the approval after various aspects of film monitoring, from reading the script to making visits on the set, have taken place.

If you don’t like the way something is, make some noise!

Literally.

PETA has plans to blast the offices of designer Donna Karan with the noise of screaming rabbits in a protest against Karan’s use of rabbit fur in clothing.

And this event is government approved. The group had to obtain a permit from the city of New York that specifies they can’t get loud enough to break her eardrums, but only enough to annoy her.

Kathy Freston "Veganist"

“It’s a complex issue, but to put it briefly: raising animals for food is the primary cause of: land degradation, air pollution, water shortage and climate change. If we care about the planet, then eating vegan is an excellent step we can all take.”

—Kathy Freston, author of the hot-selling book, Veganist, who recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to talk about the lifestyle and help the Harpo Studios crew go vegan for a week.

A couple of years ago, Freston wrote an article that appeared in the Huffington Post on the effects going vegetarian part-time has on the environment. According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped just one meal of chicken per week and substituted it with a vegetarian meal, it would save the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as taking half a million cars off the road.

Actor Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, The Expendables) will star in the second season of a comedy series created by vegan and animal rights activist Joanne Rose that is meant to poke fun of the ups and downs of the lifestyle, Vegan 101.

Like a comical veg version of “The Dr. Oz Show,” Roberts will play Dr. Eaton Wright, a physician who goes vegan and promotes it on his television show, “Eating Right,” using “risque and oddball antics.”

Rose said of Roberts, “[He] is an incredibly talented actor whose passion for the vegan lifestyle and animal rights was the ultimate choice for the second season. I am very excited to have Eric on board.”

“People love to laugh and be entertained. It’s a way of educating others about veganism through unconventional ways. I hope the word “vegan” becomes a strong part of global vocabulary, which will inspire others to learn about the lifestyle through curiosity and fascination. With entertainment, people won’t shun away.”

Vegetarian and non-vegetarian celebrities are backing the new film that takes a look at factory farmed pork, Pig Business.

Sienna Miller, Stella McCartney and several other stars are all calling for a ban on factory farmed pork in Europe. Activists who created the film claim pigs are often kept in conditions against European Union law, such as slatted floors with no bedding.

“This is such an important subject,” McCartney said of the film. “To be aware is to have individual power. This film gives us the information we need to have to make a change as a consumer, to show government and food manufacturers we deserve better. And so do the pigs giving their lives in such a barbaric way. If we stop the demand they have to stop the cruelty and deceit.”
