Chrissie Hynde posed with these two lovely models in a photo shoot for the book Cows and the Earth: A Story of Kinder Dairy Farming.

The book by Ranchor Prime contains a preface by Chrissie, and details an experiment which ran a dairy farm without slaughtering animals or using fossil fuels.

Chrissie got to fulfill a lifelong dream and milk a cow.

“She said to me, ‘One of the things I’ve always wanted to do before I die is to milk a cow,’ so she spent the day hand-milking cows at the manor,” a source said. “She loved it, she spent the whole day there.”

Wonder if Chrissie also got bovine autographs before the day ended.

Hynde has spoken out against the dairy industry, saying it “turns cows into robots” and uses “grotesque and archaic machinery”.

“We need to reassess our relationship to the natural world,” the singer added.

If experiments like the one described in Cows and the Earth can be applied to more dairy farms, would you consume milk again knowing no animals would be slaughtered?

Joan Jett

Inked Magazine, headquarters for all your tattooed news and needs, is featuring Joan Jett as part of their Inked For a Cause section.

Joan spills all the details on the social causes that are most important to her, and gives props to her favorite charity, Farm Sanctuary.

“There is a personal tie because I love animals, and feel a connection with them. I became aware of Farm Sanctuary’s work and wanted to help. Farm Sanctuary has 2 farms where they bring the animals they rescue. One is in upstate New York and one is in California. I just went to visit overnight in New York, and it was an incredible experience! I met my namesake, Joan the pig! I really enjoyed meeting all the animals. I highly recommend the experience!”

When asked what particular way she wants to encourage Inked readers to live, Joan responded:

“To become vegetarian, or vegan. I am vegetarian, I have fluctuated between the two, but my goal is to be vegan. It helps the animals and the earth.”

Nellie McKay released a new album this week, Normal as Blueberry Pie: A tribute to Doris Day.

Nellie first became acquainted with the musical legend while participating in an animal rights protest, of all places.

“I was at a protest outside the aquarium in Maryland, and there was a music shop there and I picked up, just because I liked the cover, a CD of hers called It’s Magic, which had a lot of her early work for Warner Bros., and I listened to it all the way on the bus ride home,” Nellie told Vanity Fair.

“Yeah. I really love Baltimore, and it’s so sad that the harbor there is defined by the aquarium. Aquariums—it’s not the wild. They’re a business and they can’t help being a business; anything you’re going to build is not going to be the ocean.”

Nellie was elated to find out the singer she looked up to championed animal rights as well, as Doris founded the Doris Day Animal League.

“You know, I hadn’t known [anything] about her except she always looked happy in her pictures. She was one like Julie Christie or Mary Tyler Moore that I read had become involved in animal-welfare work—it does make you like people more. Becoming politically involved can alienate people but then it can make people dig you all the more. It’s like if you go to a Sean Penn movie and you think, Well, it’s not the greatest movie but I like his politics.”

Singer and songwriter Diane Warren loves her veggies so much, it may take her awhile to make up her mind deciding which ones to eat.

Warren was spotted at the Veggie Grill in Irvine, California ordering her food while another customer in line waited patiently.

“In line behind Diane Warren at Veggie Grill in WeHo. She’s taking a really long time to order.”

Veggie Grill then suggested why Diane was taking so long.

“…Probably composing new song”

Hilarious!

The food at Veggie Grill would make for great inspiration, like Chinese Chikin’ or our favorite title from the menu, “All Hail The Kale,” containing marinated kale and red cabbage, roasted corn salsa, agave-roasted walnuts with a ginger-papaya vinaigrette.

Yum.

It’s October and that means Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Fitsugar.com has compiled a slideshow of 10 celebrity breast cancer survivors, and two of the ladies are vegetarian favorites, Melissa Etheridge and Christina Applegate.

Doctors found a lump in Melissa’s breast in 2004 and she sought chemo and radiation treatment, performing bald at a Janis Joplin tribute in 2005.

After Christina Applegate’s breast cancer was detected, she decided to remove both breasts and treated herself to a brand new pair of manufactured boobs after her surgeries.

As we’ve cited before, vegetarians tend to have lower death rates from cancer than meat eaters.

Celtic Woman

Have you heard about the Irish female musical ensemble, Celtic Woman, that performs both traditional Celtic as well as modern tunes.

Lynn Hilary, a member of the lovely lady group, joined Celtic Woman after a career with Riverdance.

Just as Hilary, a vegetarian, was keeping her eye out for more opportunities, she tries to take note of where the good vegetarian establishments are while on the road.

“I find it quite hard to find food in the States because it’s quite, very much meat-based food,” Hilary said. “I usually look up and see if I can find some kind of hippie place, a vegetarian place, and eat there.”

Maybe the other members of Celtic Woman will pitch in and buy Hilary an iphone with VegOut to celebrate their next album.
