Vegetarian Star

Activism works. And sometimes it works quite quickly.

Last month, we brought you the news about Lipton conducting animal tests with its teas in an effort to prove the beverage treated several ailments like high cholesterol and bowel issues. Unilever, the parent company of Lipton, has made the announcement it is no longer conducting these tests on animals, which included specifically breeding the animals to have certain medical conditions and purposely exposing them to toxins to see if Lipton tea would cure these conditions.

Colin Farrell is the best birthday party crasher!

The actor appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to bring her a large, vegan red velvet cake for Ellen’s 53rd birthday.

In-N-Out supposedly has a secret menu that is not so secret.

On that secret menu includes a veggie burger, which isn’t really a burger, but vegetables between a bun. There’s also a grilled cheese–basically the same as the veggie burger but the cheese is melted.

Not bad for a fast food establishment. But can we do better? In the words of the current U.S. president, “Yes, we can!”
