Vegetarian Star

Carol Leifer recently went vegan and recorded a hilarious PSA for the diet and lifetsyle.

As a Jewish woman, the comedian and author used to eat Kosher meat, thinking it was okay because animals weren’t really harmed.

Today, she’s thankfully opened her eyes.

“Growing up, it was always, ‘If you buy kosher meat, they’re killed humanely,'” Carol told forward.com.

“But I’ve seen so many horrible videos. What we thought was humane 100 years ago is not humane anymore. The ways animals suffer, I just couldn’t be a part of it anymore.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t have this revelation earlier. I sleep better and more soundly because I’m not participating anymore.”

These days, Carol gets a good night’s sleep by enjoying  “Ficken,” otherwise known as fake chicken.

Finger Ficken Good has such a better punch than that crummy KFC line.

Read the entire story at forward.com, which mentions a headline we used months ago when Carol went vegan publicly.

Hey, Forward, we never said “weird” was a bad thing!

It’s all in the name of veg humor!

“Vegans are all coke-sniffing, cigarette-smoking faux socialists who listen to music that has no melody at all, so f*ck them.”
—Roseanne Barr, in an interview with Heeb magazine.

As if the comment from Christy Turlington wasn’t enough. This must be the week for veg hatin’.

We’re hurt, rejected, and disappointed.

Please excuse us while we go listen to some crappy melodic-less music to feel better.

Ricky Gervais is an animal advocate who has starred in public service announcements against using animal pelts in the fashion industry.

However, Gervais, like many other celebrities who partake in animal rights campaigns, eats meat.

He was recently criticized for this by a food critic to which he responded to on his blog.

“I think there is a difference between animals being humanely killed for meat and animals being tortured to death for fun. It’s the ‘enjoying it’ part I don’t understand.”

“I have had several pets put down over the years when they were in pain with no quality of life. It was the right thing to do and yet on every occasion I cried. What a wuss. Next time, I will invite the food critic round… It’s only an animal, it was going to die anyway, may as well have a laugh. It may even become a tradition, and you can never end those.”

We have to give the food critic credit for pointing out Ricky’s obvious moral schizophrenia. Yes, there is a difference between killing animals for fun and killing them for necessity. But most of us don’t live in the wilderness and hunt for our food daily, thus using animals as food is no longer required.

Granted, Ricky has stated before that he’s nearly vegetarian and has been dedicating a lot of thought towards the morality of meat eating.

Sandra Bernhard recently made a Tweet about the vegan breakfast sandwich she was eating.

“enjoying a light life vegan bacon tomato sandwich for breakfast love my alvarado street california style protein bread you can get it in ny”

Sandra has the bacon, tomato, but did she leave off the lettuce for a complete vegan B.L.T.?

Oh, well, maybe she’s just a B.T. girl instead.

We have to side with Sandra on the veggie bacon, though, regardless of the fixings she chooses. Lightlife not only makes faux bacon from soy protein, they also have a tempeh bacon variety.

Last week we told you Carol Leifer had recorded a hilarious PSA for veganism in which she explained that she needed to be in an even more smaller minority group than being Jewish and lesbian-now she’s Jewish, lesbian, and vegan.

Watch the clip to see the author of When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win say she lost nothing but 20 pounds once she got rid of all the meat, eggs, and dairy from her diet.

Comedian Carol Leifer, author of When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win, recently became vegan.

She lost 20 pounds in the process and says if you go vegan, both your clothes and animals will thank you.

Leifer also took a moment to show her humorous side, saying “I recently became vegan because I felt that as a Jewish lesbian, I wasn’t part of a small enough minority. So now I’m a Jewish lesbian vegan.”

For awhile she had some company, as Jewish, lesbian comedian Dana Goldberg was at one point a vegan. Now, Goldberg continues to remain vegetarian.

Twitter Wit: Brilliance in 140 Characters or Less, is a book compiled by Nick Douglas that showcases some of the funniest Tweets to comedians like Margaret Cho, Michael Showalter, and Paula Poundstone.

Punchline magazine has shared a few to warm up your funny bone, which include some hilarious vegetarian themed thoughts.

Like a Tweet made to Paula Poundstone, suggesting dominating, Type A personality chickens ran the food research labs:

@paulapoundstone My daughter is eating vegetarian chicken nuggets. I’ll bet chickens gathered outside the lab that developed that food. “How’s it coming?”

Or one Tweet to Michael Showalter, which suggests spinach doing questionable activities:

@mshowalter Waitress just said their creamed spinach was “banging.” Now sure how I feel about that.

Twitter Wit is available September 8th.

Both Andy Dick and Russell Brand aren’t exactly known for their choir boy behaviors. Andy’s had his share of drugs, arrests and was thrown off stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he couldn’t stop touching Ivanka Trump.

Russell shares Andy’s drug history, has bragged to the pubic about having relations with more than 80 women in one month and was forced to resigned from the BBC after making prank phone calls to actor Jonathan Sachs’ home, bragging about “shagging” his granddaughter.

That didn’t stop Russell from making the front page of a Vegetarian Starter Kit and Dick’s still up to his antics, dressing as Ronald McDonald and protesting McDonald’s method of killing chickens.

They can’t be that bad, huh? So between the two naughty boys, who would you rather do…
