Meatless Mouthful–Why Kathy Freston Likes Fake Meat (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 25th, 2011 in Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

Kathy Freston "Veganist"

“Here’s why I’m unabashedly pro-faux: It’s much better for human health, exponentially better for our environment, and infinitely better for animals.”

“I wish that we lived in a world where every family had the time, know-how, means, and motivation to prepare healthful, from-scratch meals brimming with organic vegetables, whole grains, and slow-cooked beans. There is no doubt that this is the ideal, and that we’d all be a lot better off if we ate this way.”

Alyssa Milano

Looks like we won’t be tossing Alyssa Milano in the basket of female vegetarian celebrities who start chowing down on fried chicken during their pregnancies.

The Hall Pass actress revealed during a premiere of her new film that she “can’t get enough broccoli.”

Whew! So glad she didn’t say “beef stir fry” after the word “broccoli.”

Craving meat when you’re a pregnant vegetarian may be tough when you want to stick to your ethics, but there are also dangers that come with some of those unusual, uncontrollable desires.

Biz Stone Thinks Both Farm Sanctuary And Egypt Teach Empathy

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 25th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Business.

Biz Stone

The last time someone attempted to show a connection between the U.S. and Egypt, it was Jon Stewart forcing a camel to stand outside in the snow. As you can see from the video, that attempt was a big FAIL.

The vegan co-founder of Twitter has made a connection between a historic uprising in the Middle East and one of the United State’s most active sanctuaries for abused and abandoned farm animals, Farm Sanctuary. In Biz Stone‘s opinion, both the sanctuary and the events in Egypt teach the lesson of human empathy.

“I think empathy is what it’s about,” Stone was quoted by the Herald Tribune as saying. “Technology in general, and social media especially, are helping the world become a smaller place. These days, you can look down on your mobile phone and see what’s happening halfway around the world, walk in their shoes, and feel an empathy you wouldn’t otherwise feel.”

Robert Pattinson

A Cullen vampire adopting a descendant of wolves?

What would Jacob and his relatives think?!

Robert Pattinson has elevated his guy hunk/animal lover/hot dude status among women by adopting a homeless dog from a shelter that’s so overrun with strays, it has to euthanize faster than the Volturi show up when stupid vampires make a scene and risk everyone’s identities.

“It’s from a shelter and he was going to be put down,” Pattinson told the Daily Record. “I only got him two or three days ago and they only keep them for 10 days.”

The shelter is located in Louisiana, where Pattinson has been filming the final movie in the Twilight series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

The dog is sure to keep Pattinson company while he’s away filming. And although it’s hard to believe, it is the only mammal that wants to see him while he’s shooting at a remote location.

Mike Tyson

Most of the sports world already knows how MLB player Mark Buehrle feels about Michael Vick. If you didn’t hear Buehrle’s comment, it was something along the lines of Vick being the football that gets thrown at the next Eagles game.

During an interview with ESPN, Mike Tyson gave his thoughts on how Vick should be treated.

“Listen, listen. I don’t know why people do what they do. What should we do with Michael Vick?  Really, really: Why don’t we castrate him? Why don’t we do something bad to his children to teach him a lesson? Is that really the answer?”
