Vegetarian Star

Simone Reyes may be Russell Simmon‘s assistant when it comes to business, but in the vegan and animal rights boardroom, this lovely lady has proven time and time again she’s in charge and everyone should follow orders.

She’s shared vegan beauty products with fans, made herself a piece of meat to promote vegetarianism and now, she’s written a piece at Global Grind to educate readers that milk from a cow may not do a body good at all.

Reyes gives several arguments against cow’s milk, including the fact most Americans stop producing enzymes to digest it soon after birth.

Sarah McLachlan has written a letter to Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, asking that he help end the country’s annual seal hunt.

The problem with any industry that harms, be it animals, people or the earth, is that is also helping individuals feed, clothe and otherwise provide for themselves and their families, giving some the rationalization that it’s okay to continue.

But instead of berating the hunters for trying to earn a living, McLachlan calls on Harper to help create new economic opportunities that do not result in brutal killings.

MTV’s True Life is a documentary on the channel which features real-life stories of people with potentially devastating psychological issues, such as drug addiction.

A recent episode of True Life highlighted three people who were said to be obsessed with eating healthy foods. The series went further to suggest these individuals have a condition known as “orthorexia,” a popular psych term of today used to describe someone who refuses to eat many ingredients suggested to be detrimental to the body.

An interview with all three subjects, who are on the vegetarian/vegan spectrum, revealed their reasons for being so selective with food.

Eating disorders are certainly serious subjects, but it’s always a cautious situation when the unhealthy becomes the norm, giving anyone who refuses to consume a steady diet of Big Macs a label of such. After hearing Lauren, Andrew and Spring’s reasons for eliminating foods from the diet, it appears these people are simply making decisions based on data and education, like Andrew’s choice to stop eating chicken because of animal welfare practices.

The weather’s getting warmer and every earth loving vegan wants nothing more than to spend every minute in the great outdoors right?

Okay, so after you’ve bought enough calamine lotion that it’s worth buying stock in the company and the insect bites on your limbs make you look like a Center for Disease Control alert because somehow smallpox has made it back, even the biggest Mother Earth hippie may decide to enjoy nature by watching her spider plant in the great indoors.

But if you think bug bites are annoying to humans, just think of all the poor four-legged people who have to endure them. And most cats and dogs don’t know how to buy stock. Actress Amy Smart is looking to help change that by serving as the spokesperson for a campaign partnering the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and PetArmor to rid shelter pets of fleas and ticks.

Chelsea Handler has written a letter to New York mayor Bloomberg asking that he back a plan by the group NYCLASS to take horse-drawn carriages off the city’s streets and replace them with eco-friendly electric hybrid cars.

Not only will these cars save horses from working in unfavorable weather conditions like snow, ice and rain, according to Chelsea, the vehicles last so long after a charge, they work better than her vibrator.

Ian Somerhalder is taking a bite out of animal neglect and troubled children. The Vampire Diaries actor is building a sanctuary for both animals and children with behavioral issues on a farm he plans to buy in Louisiana.

Somerhalder, a recent recipient of the Humane Society’s Wyler Award, said the sanctuary will not only house animals, but employ children who’ve been accused of bullying to work with and care for the animals, hopefully leading to a change in behavior for both human and non-human.

Saturday Night Live chose to poke fun of potential Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a skit where he “claimed to be interested in things we know he is not interested in.”

Like animal welfare, for instance.

The skit touted Romney as both the future “cat-neutering president” and the “cock-fighting president,” reminding those that follow a politician’s record on animal rights about an all too heartbreaking incident in 1983 when Romney allegedly took a trip to Canada with a dog strapped to the roof of the car.
