Vegetarian Star

Dom Partners is auctioning off the domain name “Sex.com” and animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is looking to get in on the, um, “action.”

PETA is hoping the organization will donate the website to the group, which will automatically draw tons of traffic to the site that will promote sex, illustrating how a vegetarian diet can only make it better by using saucy script and humorous eroticism.

From PETA:

“Visitors to sex.com would be exposed to PETA’s saucy campaigns, which point out, for example, the following:

• Meat-loving men tend to limp through their later years thanks to their artery-clogging diets.
• Nobody likes an eight-second ride.
• Many Hollywood hardbodies are hardnosed about not exploiting animals for their flesh and fur.”

PETA currently uses a domain called “meat.org,” which employs similar tactics in that web users who might be looking for information on meat are surprisingly educated about factory farming.

“When you are eating out, very often the only vegetarian choices are pasta and salad. It’s no wonder some people think vegetarian food is a bit bland. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and I know that there is exciting vegetarian food in every culture. If more people are going to really embrace the idea of regularly choosing vegetarian options, the food on offer has to reflect this variety.”

—-Paul McCartney, who’s gracing the cover of Stir It Up, a UK based catering magazine.

Inside, Paul discusses his Meat-Free  Monday campaign and shares a few recipes.

Scarlett Johansson is giving Michelle Obama backup by urging lawmakers to adopt changes to school lunch menus to include healthier items like fruits and vegetables.

Mrs. Obama has been busy promoting her anti-obesity campaign, and there is legislation in the works asking schools to use more plant based meals with less milk and less fat.

“I am so thankful that the National Lunch Program exists and helps children around the nation get enough to eat. But right now, many of the foods served through this program do not support children’s healthy development. Many students who eat school lunches consume too much saturated fat and cholesterol and not enough fruits and vegetables. Childhood obesity is striking young children like never before, and being overweight puts kids at risk for type 2 diabetes and other chronic diabetes.”

Ecorazzi reports that a press release states Scarlett grew up with little means, and knows firsthand how difficult it can be for children who might get their only decent meal from a school cafeteria.

You can read Scarlett’s entire letter as well as key provisions to the act here.

Moby has accumulated a lot of titles in his forty something years, and he now has the pleasure of adding one more-book editor.

The vegan musician, singer, DJ and activist spoke to Oregon Live about his new book, Gristle, filled with essays by those with a passion for food, animals and the environment.

People know you primarily for your music. Why was it important for you to do a project like “Gristle”?

I was raised by activists. My parents and the people in my family brought me up with the idea that the only way to lead a good and productive life was to be a voice for causes and issues that you find important. I’ve been involved with animal rights movement for about 25 years, and I found that when I talked to people, most of my friends weren’t aware of the ramifications and consequences of animal production. The idea behind the book was to make it as factual and revealing as possible.

In reading the book, the environmental issues struck me hard. As a consumer, it makes me feel overwhelmed. Can the individual decisions we make every day really have any impact?

Clearly, one individual’s choices aren’t going to have that much impact, but it’s the cumulative weight of all of our choices. If you and I become vegans, the global consequences aren’t going to be that much. But if we can get a few hundred million people to become a little more aware and cut back on their animal consumption, the consequences will be great.

“The heroes of my book are small-scale family farmers. They tend to be responsible people who leave the Earth in better condition than they found it, know their animals as individuals and treat them with as much compassion as a farmer can.”

—-Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals, as quoted by Metro.

Hilarious comedian Sarah Silverman has a new man in her life, Alec Sulkin, who she became involved with after stalking, or, uh,  following him on Twitter.

“I wrote him a note that said, ‘You’re funny,’ ” she said, according to People. “When we finally met, he came over to my place, walked in the door, put out his hand and said, ‘Hi, I’m Alec.’ We’ve spent every day together since.”

Although she has nothing but kind words to say about the relationship, Silverman warns never to mention the “M” word to her.

“It’s just not for me,” she says about marriage. “I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and f***ing crazy. It’s this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don’t have to do anymore.”

Does marriage also come with increasing your risk of gaining weight in the abdomen, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and havoc on the environment?

Sounds like Silverman is pretty open to other lifestyles, as long as no one’s imposing one on her.

The next time you invite Silverman to a party, you can bring your married couples. But don’t forget your civil unions, LTRs and soley egg/sperm donor partnerships.

Ever since partnering with Veggie Central, a program designed to teach parents how to incorporate vegetables into their children’s diets, Jennie Garth has been sharing tips for sneaking in those greens, oranges, reds and every vegetable color imaginable onto the plate.

One of Garth’s latest tips she shares with Fox is about getting the entire family to eat better.

“Participation leads to anticipation, so have children help in the kitchen as a way to spend time as a family as well as have them involved and interested in what they will eat.”

What are you waiting for?

Start the veggie chopping assembly line going with your kids today.

It might be a good idea to save the cutting for the “bigger” kids while having the younger ones wash and shred.

Watch a clip of Garth and learn more ways to convince kids to eat more veggies.

Eva Longoria has shared a recipe for guacamole with Energy Times that includes all the basic ingredients of the rich, green whip, along with some tips from Longoria on what NOT to put in your guac.

“There are a lot of things that people put in guac that really do not belong there,” Longoria said. “Garlic does not belong in guac; mayonnaise does not belong in guac.”

Guess technically, Eva’s favorite soy butter doesn’t belong in there either, but who knows?

Longoria prefers Serrano peppers over jalapenos and says save the lime juice for dishes like pico de gallo or salsa picante.

Whip together the following ingredients for your next Desperate Housewives television night.

8 large ripe avocados
2 large tomatoes (diced)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 half-bunch cilantro (chopped)
3 small Serrano peppers
salt and lemon to taste
