One would hope a completely organic produce section where anything genetically modified would be zapped by super military powers.

But in the case of a new film titled The Dictator, you only get actress Anna Faris as the “ultra-liberal vegan grocery store owner who inadvertently rescues a Saddam Hussein-esque tyrant”

Plus, a few good jokes about educated women looking like monkeys on roller skates.

Meatless Mouthful–Morrissey Says Learn From Animals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 in Animal Issues, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

Morrissey

“I think we have so much to learn from the animal kingdom. Instead, they are shot and gassed and farmed and eaten, and only humans do this to them! Animals don’t start wars or destroy the planet or create cancers or pollute or over-populate. Humans, by comparison, are a mess. You can also tell so much about a person by their treatment of animals. A woman in a fur-coat might as well carry a sign saying ‘I am an idiot.’ How women — and it’s usually women — can wear fur, whilst knowing how it’s manufactured, is absolutely bewildering to me. The human race is rarely humane.”

Morrissey, during an interview discussing his views on vegetarianism and animal rights. The former member of The Smiths who sang “Meat Is Murder” has been vegetarian since age 11.

His self-invented “vegan until six p.m.” program helped him lose weight, lower cholesterol and incorporate a variety of plant-based meals into his diet, such as this Chickpea Salad with Arugula.
