Vegetarian Star

“The devastation inflicted on our environment by factory farms is something we all have the power to stop by doing something as simple as ordering a veggie burger instead of a meat one. Please join me in taking the pledge to go meat free for a day, a month or longer. It’s a lot easier than you think, and let’s be real, all burgers taste the same with ketchup.”

—Jason Schwartzman, who voices a new short film about the effects of factory farms and the environment, What To Eat. Schwartzman is seen below in a 30-second promo for a site where you can learn more about eating better for the environment, platetoplanet.org.

Actor Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Scott Pilgram vs. The World, Bored To Death) has narrated a short film on the effects of the meat industry and the environment.

This isn’t a dry lecture that spits out facts, but an entertaining flick which features a day in the life of a man (Schwartzman) who wakes up one morning with the same question everybody does, “What am I going to eat today?” and starts it off with bacon and eggs.

Suddenly, Schwartzman’s entire day–from driving to work to sitting in the office to shopping for dinner–is filled with messages about the destructive effects of meat and the environment. From reading the morning newspaper to stumbling on a website at work, each encounter Schwartzman has brings him closer to the realization that factory farmed meat is destroying the Earth and causing health issues for humans who don’t even eat it.

The royal wedding of the year, decade and possibly the century is scheduled to take place this Friday, April 29. That’s the day Prince William and Kate Middleton are scheduled to exchange vows, taking Britain’s most eligible bachelor officially off the market.

Several members of the Royal Family have become known for their charitable and sustainable initiatives and Prince William and Catherine will more than likely follow this lead. PETA India has already petitioned the couple to begin their marriage in an animal-friendly manner, by sending them wedding garments crafted from animal-free silk.
