Vegetarian Star

One of Britain’s popular comedians thinks eating animals is no laughing matter.

John Bishop has posed in a new ad for PETA UK that reads, “Chicks Love a Vegetarian.”

Bishop has been a vegetarian for over 25 years, a move that was motivated by both working in a fast-food restaurant and seeing a cow being slaughtered on a farm.

“The cow was hanging up looking at me as if to say ‘you did this’”.

Jamie Kilstein is a vegan comedian who’s been a guest on SIRIUS radio, Conan and co-hosts the Internet political radio show, Citizen Radio.

Describing himself as a former “fat fast food eating piece of shit” who would have eaten “baby fingers in Mcnugget form” if it had been cooked for him, Kilstein incorporates his vegan beliefs both in his comedy routines and his political discussions.

Speaking of political discussion, Kilstein has a great response to the “God made animals for us to eat” argument.

“I’ve helped old people cross the street. You wouldn’t be like, ‘God created buses for a reason.’ Or, ‘That baby’s choking!’ ‘God created marbles for a reason.’ . . . ‘That couple’s being evicted from their home.’ ‘God created Bank of America for a reason.’”

Craig Ferguson hosted Minnesota comedian Bryan Miller who took the opportunity to make a few jokes about the vegetarian lifestyle. Miller’s wife is vegetarian. He is not. Cue the outrageous stories.

Vegetarians who live with/have close relationships with carnivores should consider Miller’s plan to open a “vegetarian compromise restaurant.”

“We’re still going to serve meat,” Miller said. “But only the parts the animals can afford to live without.”

Although he is still allowed to cook meat at home, Miller says wife insists they shop at the local co-op, paving the way for jokes about the price of goods that come with labels like fair trade.

Art of the Animal: Myq Kaplan from Our Hen House on Vimeo.

Myq Kaplan was featured in Our Hen House’s “Art of the Animal Series” and he brought his quirky and dry sense of humor with him in exchange for “hummus and hugs.”

“What inspired me to initially become a vegetarian was I say thoughts that a lot of people have, you know, about ‘hey, we shouldn’t hurt animals,’” Myq says in the interview. “Those thoughts are normally stamped out by, “Ah, but the animals are delicious.’”

What’s almost as good as spending an evening with former Lost actor Jorge Garcia and his homemade vegetarian sloppy joes and almond milk?

Spending the evening at LA comedy club The Laugh Factory and listening to his stand-up routine where he poked fun at himself while sharing his passion for vegan food.

“Everyone should dramatically simplify their life and reduce their spending because there’s going to be less expendable income. I’m pretty careful. I drive the cheapest car Nissan makes and I rent a two bedroom apartment in Glendale. What I spend money on is organic, vegan food.”

–Steve-O, to Fox 411 Poptarts.

If you’re the frugal type, you might be interested in knowing that spending your money on “organic, vegan food” like Steve may very well be the best way save a nickel or two. The folks at Good.is–who happen to be doing a 30-day vegetarian challenge–have compared vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and meat-eating diets in terms of what one might spend on breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day’s worth of meals for a vegan was $11.15, but a meat eater put out a whopping $14.65!  Don’t know about  you, but we can think of plenty of ways to use that extra $3 a day…like spending it on more delicious vegan food.
