Vegetarian Star

Joanne Rose, actress, producer and writer, has unveiled three brand new episodes for season 3 of her award-winning Vegan 101 web series.

The Academy of Veganology, VSI: Vegan Scene Investigation and Hypnotize may be the funniest and entertaining short films Rose has produced yet.

The Academy of Veganology sends Joanne and a friend to vegan boot camp, where they must learn what they must toss out to become good vegan troops, like leather. VSI: Vegan Scene Investigation features Joanne and her detective co-worker drawing the yellow chalk around a man who’s time came to an end just after eating a hamburger. The two conclude there were two victims: one human and one animal. Finally, in Hypnotize, Joanne saves someone from become a VSI victim with the snap of her finger as she transforms a burger into a healthy salad with plant-based proteins.

Watch all three episodes below.

Casey Affleck has recorded a new PSA for PETA against dehorning calves in the dairy industry.

“Cows and calves struggle desperately during dehorning,” Casey says in the video. “Thrashing, tossing their heads, rearing up, switching their tails, bellowing, and collapsing to the ground—all signs of severe pain and distress. All these procedures are routinely performed without giving the animals any painkillers whatsoever.”

Dairy industry experts say dehorning is necessary as animals get aggressive on farms and will try to hurt each other with their horns. But animal welfare experts say the process isn’t always done at the optimum age or with proper pain killers.

“It’s nothing like the pill in The Matrix but damn good, like 15 percent across the board in every respect. I sleep 15 percent better. My allergies are at least 15 percent better. I have fewer body aches. My skin looks better. I’m never starving, and I never need to ride the couch feeling completely full and disgusting.”

—Dax Shepard, on how eliminating animal products from his diet improved his overall well-being.

Moby thinks omnivores and vegetarians can live happily ever after.

At least in today’s times.

Vegan musician and activist gave his thoughts to the New York Times about how different it was for mixed eaters to share the same restaurant due to lack of options on both dieting community’s parts.

No vegan was going to settle for chicken wings. But most omnivores didn’t find the kale krunch plate to be the most appetizing either.

Amanda Cohen has a brand new cookbook out with more than just recipes. There are also illustrations, comics and musings about the restaurant industry.

According to the owner and chef at NYC’s vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy, such a diverse selection of material is needed to make a cookbook more valuable these days as the Internet has given them some competition.

“For me, the internet has changed the whole recipe delivery system,” Cohen told Blisstree. “When I’m looking for versions of a recipe I go online first, not to my bookshelf. A cookbook can’t just list a bunch of recipes and have that be enough anymore. Maybe as an artifact, but it’s not a useful book.”

Daniel Bryan has made the official announcement he’s no longer adhering to a 100% vegan diet.

The WWE athlete claims this is no longer feasible because he’s develop soy sensitivities.

“I became a vegan for health issues and then I developed a soy intolerance. So, I’ve been getting really sick lately. it’s a very unmanly way to stop being vegan, to have a soy intolerance. [Laughs.] But I was getting sick all the time, and they were trying to figure out what it was and they found out it was the soy.”

“Being on the road, being vegan and trying to get your protein in other than soy, there’s just nothing to eat. There’s soy in everything. Most of the vegan things you can eat are tofu dishes and whatnot, made out of soy.”

Alicia Silverstone‘s latest film Vamps is set for release this November and the trailer to the film is now available.

Silverstone and Krysten Ritter play two gorgeous single ladies who live life to the fullest like any other bachelorette–bars, dating, parties, sleeping in coffins as well as the occasional vampire indulgence.

Okay. So maybe they’re not so typical singles after all.

While filming Vamps in the Detroit area,  Silverstone got the chance to sample lots of vegan goodies from shops nearby. Inn Season Cafe and What Crepe? were two places she dug her fangs into between filming.
