“I wish we lived in a world where caring for animals wasn’t so rare that it deserved an award. All I do is treat animals with the respect and dignity they deserve. I hope someday soon, everyone does the same. PETCO and the PETCO Foundation have made great efforts to protect animals and I commend them for going above and beyond the call of duty.”

—Ellen DeGeneres, on accepting the PETCO Foundation’s HOPE Award given to public figures that promote the bond between humans and animals. The awards ceremony will be held in San Diego, California on April 30, 2011. DeGeneres is the co-owner of Halo Pet Food, a natural line of food for animals containing only human-grade ingredients. Last year, Halo partnered with several non-profit organizations like Freekibble, The Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, Pets for Patriots, and The National Canine Cancer Foundation to donate 1 million pet meals to over 100 shelters across the United States.

Those who follow the dirt on Alicia Silverstone knows she’s committed some infidelity in her life.

Like that one time she totally went behind vegan cheese’s back and had a sample of real cheese at party.

While staunch vegans roll their eyes and dismiss her as yet another flaky celebrity who makes a bad name for the lifestyle, her latest cheating revelation may actually be good for pushing people toward more plant-based meals.

During an interview with Women’s Health, Silverstone admitted that every once in awhile she gets the urge to be a pescatarian.

Despite being “kicked out of school,” Jamie Oliver has successfully completed filming season 2 of his Food Revolution show. After the Los Angeles Unified School District refused to let him into any of their cafeterias, Oliver, being the feather ruffling genius that he is, continued his mission of revamping diets of some of the poorest families in the city with his mobile food truck and other antics.

Will it work? It probably won’t be easy.

As one woman in the preview mentions, “It is easier to get a gun, crack, or a prostitute in a lot of areas in Los Angeles before you can get a tomato.”

Hard to imagine a year in America without football season, but if players and owners can’t come to an agreement, we might say kiss off to kick-off.

And that may be good for chickens and the environment.

According to NFL Lockout, each NFL city could potentially lose $160 million dollars and 115 thousand jobs would be affected if football season is cancelled.

One of those businesses involves chicken wings.
