Jones Tofurky And Gravy Soda

The Skinny Bitch gals said that “Soda is liquid Satan”, but Jones Tofurky & Gravy Soda may be a little less devilish.

The veggie turkey and gravy flavored product inspired by Tofurky can makes veggie soda drinkers happy and benefit the animal charity PAWS at the same time if the limited edition gift packs are purchased.

Each limited edition gift pack of faux turkey soda includes the following:

— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Black Cherry
— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Pomegranate
— 1 Bottle of Jones Zilch Vanilla Bean
— 3 Bottles of ToFurkey
— 1 ToFurkey Metal Lunch Box.

Yes! A lunch box!

For every pack sold, $1 will be donated to PAWS, People Helping Animals.

From the makers:

“Some people are crazy for turkey around the holidays… others not so much. For those of you with veggie leanings, Jones teamed up with the good folks at Tofurky® to bring you a meatless option.”

“We created this special soda for all you veg-heads out there. Best served with mashed potatoes and a couple of laughs, we hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

The cases are available online for $11.99.

Whoever though you could have your meal and drink to the New Year simultaneously.

Leona Lewis On Vegetarian Catering, Horses

MTV Europe Music Awards Arrivals Berlin

Leona Lewis spoke to the UK Sun where she revealed she takes her job seriously–right down to the food served at work.

“I only have vegetarian catering,” Leona said. “Everyone who works with me knows that now.

“I don’t have any meat at photoshoots and video shoots. It’ll be the same on the tour.”

Leona loves horses and although she’ll be using horse themes for her upcoming tour, she’s smart enough to know real animals don’t belong on the stage.

“Yes, we will be using some horse themes – but no real horses. That would be strange and possibly a bit dangerous!

And Leona is totally into rent-a-horse, as long as it’s done ethically.

“I ride whenever I can, which is about once a week. Luckily, you can lease horses a bit like cars.

“But I am very careful to make sure that it is not cruel in any way. I had an incident when I got hurt by a horse a few months ago. But that was my fault, not the horse’s.”

A Single Man premiere held in Los Angeles

Ginnifer Goodwin has confirmed her Thanksgiving meal this year will be a Tofurky.

No surprise, considering she’s the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’

Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.

Don’t forget you can have your own badass turkey for only $25 through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program.

Daryl Hannah Vegan Thanksgiving Plan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Environmental Media Awards 2009

How do you plan to spend Thanksgiving?

Tortured at a relative’s house eating side dishes because they always fail to accommodate you?

Making your own tofu turkey for the first time?

Daryl Hannah plans to spend the day with a few turkeys, and we don’t mean foolish people either.

She’ll be at Animal Acres Sanctuary in Acton, California.

“They do an Adopt a Turkey day — rather than slaughter a turkey you adopt a turkey and feed it, and they have a nice, big vegan dinner too.”

Animal Acres is home to chickens, cows, pigs and all sorts of critters, but did you know they can also pronounce you husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife).

That’s right, there’s no need for Vegas, because you can get married at Animal Acres and receive the assistance of their staff for set up and clean up, recommendation for vegan caterers and even a sanctuary tour.

If you choose the goat to be the best man, they cannot mediate family disputes.

Tony Gonzalez and his wife October Gonzalez are starring in a new anti-fur ad that’s so hot, it will knock the hairs off your own body!

After shooting the ad, Tony and October sat down to discuss the effects of a plant based diet on their health and the animals.

“What goes on in the industry, the treatment of animals is just ridiculous,” Tony says.

“They pump them full of hormones, they feed them corn-which is not their natural diet.”

“These animals are miserable from the second they are born to the second they die,” October adds.

“We have a voice. And that’s why we’re doing something like this…If enough people stand up and say something about it, it will end,” Tony says.

Watch the clip for more and scenes from the photo shoot!

Sarah McLachlan “Saturday Night Live” ASPCA Commercial (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Humor, Videos.

Saturday Night Live recently poked fun of Sarah McLachlan and the ASPCA commercials where her song “Angel” is the soundtrack behind some disturbing facts about animal cruelty.

“You agreed we weren’t going to talk about those creepy ASPCA commercials,” anchor Seth Meyers said.

The “Sarah” begins to sing Angel while pictures of dogs are shown in the background with facts like “this dog’s house is in foreclosure.”

It might be offensive, but hey, this clip is still giving the ASPCA publicity and that’s a great thing!
