Vegetarian Star

If you love peanut butter and animals, grab a few jars of the nut butter designed to celebrate People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ 30th anniversary, PeTA Butter.

With a name so quirky, PeTA Butter could almost be interpreted as an April Fools’ post, but these 16 oz. jars that sell for about $5 were crafted by the folks at New York based Peanut Butter & Co, a maker of 10 varieties of peanut butter flavors, each given unique and delicious sounding names like Dark Chocolate Dreams, White Chocolate Wonderful, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and Mighty Maple.

Bryant Terry and Jidan Koon kept their wedding details eco-friendly, from holding the ceremony at their home using materials already owned, to using an ethical engagement ring from Brilliant Earth jewelry company.

The custom made sapphire is Jidan’s birthstone.

Brilliant Earth is an ethical jewelry company based in San Francisco that doesn’t source diamonds from regions where forces that are opposed to recognized governments control the areas and funds are used to support military action in opposition to recognized governments.

You may recall recent news stories about Naomi Campbell testifying about a diamond she received from Charles Taylor, a man accused of taking illegally mined diamonds from Sierra Leone insurgents in return for weapons that were used in a campaign of terror which killed 120,000 people and enslaved children.

Art Smith, who’s worked as a chef for Oprah Winfrey and Jeb Bush, married his partner of 10 years, Jesus Salgueiro, on August 18th.

Much talk went on about Chelsea Clinton offering meat to her guests even though she was vegetarian and whether or not the couple should think solely of themselves during the reception. Thankfully, Art and Jesus remembered the vegetarians and offered vegan friendly protein wraps and vegan chocolate cupcakes.

Smith is the founder of the non-profit, Common Threads, which teaches children about other cultures through food. He’s also the owner of the Chicago restaurant TABLE 52, which doesn’t offer the greatest selection of vegetarian options, but sources food from organic farms regionally in the Midwest.

Comedian Margaret Cho is donating a portion of proceeds from her latest tour for her comedy CD Cho Dependent to the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi. The institute is helping to rescue and rehabilitate animals affected by the Gulf oil spill. Cho’s tour starts August 26th and ends on December 2nd.

Since April 20th, 2010, the IMMS has responded to over 200 dolphins and sea turtles and has rescued more than 30 live sea turtles.

They’ve posted a video on their site, which can be seen below, showing four species of sea turtles enjoying life in the healthy waters as they should. The clip, titled, “Baby Sea Turtle Ballet,” features four baby turtles formerly covered in oil that were saved by IMMS: the Hawksbill, Kemp’s Ridley, the Green, and the Loggerhead.
