Vegetarian Star

There was the satire version of The Last Supper involving vegan Judas (of course the non meat eater is portrayed as the evil, traitor).

Now PETA is promoting another veggie version of the meal featuring Jesus and the disciples, this time putting Paul McCartney and Pamela Anderson at the table, an exhibit on display at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Pamela is, as would be expected, revealing more skin than Paul.

“The Diner” was created inside a 28 foot 1955 Airstream trailor by a University of Texas at Dallas professor. One side of the trailor features The Last Supper scene, while visitors can take a look on another to view pictures of factory farms.

Vegan chef Christina Pirello took to the Huffington Post to discuss how fast food companies like McDonald’s have lured children into their restaurants through the use of clever, cheerful marketing and a few plastic toys here and there.

“Since the Happy Meal hit the menu under the Golden Arches, childhood obesity has ballooned from 4.2% to 17%, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This hugely successful public relations brainstorm, linking cheap food with cheap toys (which actually dates as far back as free junk toys in Cracker Jacks and cereal boxes and on top of Ovaltine jars) led corporation after corporation to see the opportunity to make money off your kids’ desires. Before long, all that disposable plastic junk found its way into almost every bag of high-fat, high-sugar meal while hawking the movies your kids are dying to see.”

Mark Bittman‘s “Vegan Before Six” approach to reducing your meat intake is becoming popular, but it’s not the only way to do vegetarian part time.

In an article from MSN, over a dozen suggestions are made for eating less meat, and some may surprise or even entertain you.

For example, there’s the “Don’t Go There,” approach:

“Avoid the meat areas of your supermarket. Out of sight, out of mind, right? It works for me.”

Ask veggie friends to cook for you (better yet, pay them to do so):
“If you have similar pals, watch them cook. Ask how they get by. Eat with them. Vegetarians are experts at non-meat lifestyles, and you can learn a lot just by hanging out in their circles.”

Has one of basketball’s bad boys gone veggie?

Ron Artest was said to have eaten a late night vegan dinner after the game in Staples Center where the Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns 128-107 on Monday.

The forward/shooting guard worked with animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in a campaign to spay and neuter pets after he experienced a series of incidents where authorities had to remove dogs from his home.

Artest cited PETA as the organization that helped turn him around and taught him how to care properly for his animals.

John Bartlett, named Designer of the Year by The American Apparel and Footwear Association, has announced he’s gone vegan, and will no longer use leather in his collections.

Although he has been known in the fashion community for his use of leather, starting in September, those pieces will be discontinued and he will look for non-leather alternatives to use in his designs.

On his blog, Barlett, explained the decision came after reading Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan diet and lifestyle book, “The Kind Diet.”

“I had recently read Alicia Silverstone’s great book “The Kind Diet” and started to come to terms with the impact of meat eating on myself, on the animals who are being “factory farmed” and on the environment.”

If you had any doubts about Anne Hathaway‘s current vegetarian status (as she’s always flip flopping), look no further than this article because nothing says I’m no longer vegetarian than discussing how much fun it is to feel up on chicken with a buttered hand.

This coming a little after a year after announcing she was a full blown vegan on television

“The other day I roasted a chicken that I have got to say was awesome. But I used a lot of butter and it’s not hard to make chicken taste good when you use a lot of butter. I am not a very imaginative cook, I follow recipes, but I really do enjoy it. That and baking. I used to be a vegetarian but obviously I am not a very committed vegetarian when you roast chicken.”

But wait! There’s more chicken stories and tales of eating crickets and working up the balls to eat intestines.

PETA is looking to lease the home on Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York that inspired the 1977 book, “The Amityville Horrors.”

“In our horror house, the sound of slaughterhouse blades whirring while animals scream for their lives would play over loudspeakers.” Tracy Reiman, vice-president of PETA wrote in a letter to the present owners of the home.
