Vegetarian Star

Russell Simmons made a Tweet recently discussing the cultural use of the “N-word” among young African-Americans and those in hip hop culture.

“Honestly I’m more concerned about people eating animals or abusing the planet or sitting still for wars then the use of n word”

Russell’s stance on putting issues that affect everyone before any particular group is reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde‘s statement that she didn’t give a falafel about feminism, only meat eaters and non meaters.

However, to make sure no one was offended, Russell followed up with this Tweet:

“I do not like to say hurtful things to people .some are offended by the n word for those who are I apologize”

Any thoughts?

Evander Holyfield has just announced he’s interested in helping the environment.

He told the Associated Press: “I guess I’m lean and green. I’m pretty much going to do all I can to fight against global warming. I’ll see what I can do to help and try to help other people who want to do the same thing.”

Part of those plans include turning an acre of his suburban Atlanta estate into an organic garden that can be used by youth and building a 40-acre solar energy farm on the same property.

Evander said part of the reason he’s embarking on green adventures is he’s recently gained some financial success and wants to give back.

Some of that financial success is from his recent Taco Bell commercials, like the one shown above.

We’re ecstatic that Evander is giving all his punch to the environment, but have to speak up and say the best way he can be “lean and green” is to go veg…and not eat from most of the Taco Bell menu.

Meat and all processes that go toward putting it from the farm to your plate has the greatest impact on the Earth’s health, and going for the refried beans burrito (does Taco Bell have lard in their beans) instead of the Nacho Crunch Burrito is the easiest way to reduce global warming.

To really “think outside the bun,” make one day of the week a meatless day, Evander. It might help you look prettier in that dress you’re wearing in the commercial, too.

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!

Much ado about Pamela Anderson‘s eco friendly clothing line A*Muse has taken place, but what makes Pamela’s swimsuits and shoes more environmentally sound than others?

“We’ve got organic cottons and the boots we’re going to be doing are made out of recycled bottles,” Anderson revealed. “A company called Ultrasuede has this great fabric they make out of recycled bottles which we are going to use.”

Cool!

It’s great to learn something new everyday, and Pamela agrees.

“Every day you learn something new about the world around us,” she says. “I just learned about the mountain of plastic in the ocean. I mean that’s just disgusting. So, if you’re going to do something, do it right – be it choosing the right fabrics or where you are going to get things manufactured.”

“If you put the thought into it at the beginning instead of trying to fix it at the end… instead of having a problem that you have to fix why not do it right in the first place. With A*Muse we want to inspire people to think about it but not to be too preachy, we’re going to have fun with it. Like go vegetarian – we’re doing it anyway so why not incorporate it into it the range?”

A*Muse debuted last week at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

It’s not yet known where the clothing line will be distributed.

Conservative political talk show host Sean Hannity would like to help some farmers during a drought by raising water levels.

But doing so might wipe out an entire species of fish and Federation of Fisherman has warned that killing these fish will also lead to the salmon population demise.

Jon Stewart took a few moments to mock Hannity for his views about the food chain and regulations that created the reservoirs for the farmers to begin with.

“Hannity lent his almost comically oversized head to the very real drought problem that these farmers are facing,” Stewart says opening the segment.

Take a look!

An 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck off American Samoa on Tuesday, which triggered a three-metre tsunami, destroying villages in the Pacific state of Samoa.

Could a few less steaks on everyone’s part help prevent these disasters?

Some scientists believe global warming may contribute to earthquakes and tsunamis.

“Climate change doesn’t just affect the atmosphere and the oceans but the earth’s crust as well. The whole earth is an interactive system,” Professor Bill McGuire of University College London told Reuters.

McGuire used climate change from the end of the last ice age as an example.

“When the ice is lost, the earth’s crust bounces back up again and that triggers earthquakes, which trigger submarine landslides, which cause tsunamis,” he said.

The raising of livestock and production of animal foods such as dairy contribute more greenhouse emissions than transportation.

The old saying is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Could less beef and cheese on everyone’s part be the panacea for future tsunamis?
