Steve-O

If Steve-O wanted to start writing his own vegan cookbook, he’d already have two recipes that would knock his fans’ socks off.

His ideas for breakfast and lunch were shared with The Edmonton Journal, and they’re definitely suited for the simple cook in all of us.

“Generally in the morning I make a mixture of whole grain cereal with almond milk and a slice of banana on it. And about once a day I’ll eat a whole pack of Tofurky. I love that stuff, man. I’ll just eat it right out of the pack with mustard.”

Carol Leifer

Comedian and co-executive producer of Rules of Engagement Carol Leifer has a serious tip for those wanting to save the planet.

When Mother Nature Network asked her to share her tip for going green, Leifer replied:

“Did you know that by going vegan you are so much more ecological and green than anything else? You make so much more of a statement with your fork than what you drive. So go vegan, people. Do it for the environment. And do it for your health, too.”

Don’t believe that eating nuts, legumes and grains damages the planet less than consuming steak and burgers? Calculate the cost of your next meal using the Food Emissions Calculator.

Hal Sparks Thinks Factory Farming Is No Joke (Video)

Hal Sparks thinks factory farming is no joke.

During one of his comedic performances, Sparks made humor of poor diets consisting of too many animal products. But in an interview he reveals the effects of raising animals for food is no laughing matter.

“The biggest issue for me is factory farming,” Sparks. “Because I can’t find an angle on it–and I dare anyone else to–that actually supports it in any way. It doesn’t make food cheaper and safer. It doesn’t make the environment better. It harms the people who consume it as well as the people who process it. And it’s horrible to the animals.”

What’s Sparks’ advice for the dying individual who wishes he’d had more time to spend with the family? Watch the clip below to find out.

–Comedian Elayne Boosler, on the new law that requires garments with smaller amounts of fur on them to declare if the fur is real or fake, something previously required only if the garment was worth more than $150.

A pet lover and animal advocate herself, Boosler has been featured in Animal Wellness magazine, where she said success to her meant, “The end of puppy mills and inhumane practices in the food industry, widespread spaying and neutering and having every person know that each time an animal is bought from a pet store, an animal in the pound dies.”
