A new film detailing three men in their quest for the ultimate diet that will save humans and the planet has been created and is currently screening in select locations in the U.S. and the UK.

The Internet’s infamous nasty gossip blogger Perez Hilton is taking time off from his usual cattiness to say some really good things about what citizens in the U.S., especially those residing in states like Hilton’s birthplace in Florida, can do to help stop laws from passing that would make it illegal to film factory farm abuse while undercover.

Lawmakers in states like these have been influenced by officials in agriculture that are getting scared of what videos like the ones PETA and Mercy for Animals have routinely used to bring charges of animal cruelty against farm workers who blatantly violate animal welfare laws.

“Whether you’re a meat eater or a vegan, you can stand behind the humane treatment of animals in the meat trade,” Hilton says in the video. “There are now bills pending in several states–including Senate bill 1246 in my homestate of Florida, that would criminalize the filming of animals on factory farms. What are they trying to hide? Do these farms house famous animals like Miss Piggy and Babe and these laws just seek to protect them from the paparazzi?”

My NYC Biking Story: Sarinya Srisakul from Streetfilms on Vimeo.

She’s tough. She darts through traffic effortlessly, whether it’s on a bicycle or a big red truck. Her “hose” is probably bigger than yours. Did we also mention that Sarinya Srisakul, New York city’s first Asian-American female firefighter, is also a vegan?

A recent Harris poll found that although most Americans are aware of what it takes to eat better, they aren’t interested in doing it. If the Americans polled are anything like ABC viewers, the results are right on target. ABC has cancelled Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution series for low ratings.

We told you to stick around and it paid off! Here’s part two of our interview with news anchor Nicole Lapin.

You’ve been involved with several charitable organizations and campaigns like the United Nation’s “Girl Up” initiative. Are there any vegetarian, animal rights, sustainable food or environmental organizations you’re particularly fond of?
You caught me! I can’t say no when a good cause asks for my help…I know, I know, that sounds so Pollyannaish, but it’s true. I have done some work for the Humane Society and am happy to help with any other organizations that need it.

I’ve read in some of your other interviews that you’ve mastered putting together a vegan meal in the most unlikely of places, including gas stations. Can you name some healthy vegan ideas from places where it’s hard to find vegan food like vending machines and convenience stores?
I have to say, I’ve eaten every meal at Starbucks more often than I’d like to admit. They have some really wonderful new options with Two Moms In The Raw and Peeled dried fruit.

You knew the cream filled double burger wrapped in bacon between two glazed donuts and deep-fried twice was going to catch up with her.

A story featured in the May 10 edition of the National Enquierer claims Southern Queen Paula Deen was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago. What’s worst, it hints Deen wants to keep this a secret, fearing revealing she developed a condition linked very closely to poor diet may make her look bad. Because it’s good for the brand to continue killing other people.
