Vegetarian Star

Audrey Kitching was recently making some tacos sin carne in her kitchen.

“Making home made vegan tacos and doing laundry in my gold glitter stilettos! I can not wait to see the September Issue when I get home!”

Given the fact that Audrey’s vegan, she might  have loved The September Issue fashion but probably doesn’t have a taste for Anna Wintour‘s fur fetish.

At any rate, for the hearty taco filling minus the fat, animal flesh, and cruelty, may we suggest Lightlife Smart Ground Taco and Burrito Variety.

It’s fat-free, certified vegan, with a combination of soy and wheat gluten to give 9 grams of protein per 70 calorie serving.

Grab some at your next shopping trip, along with your gold cooking stilettos.

Jake Gyllenhaal is in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania filming Love And Other Drugs and lots of Jake sightings have been made by fans, with a few vegetarian rumors floating around here and there.

Jake entered the Make Your Mark Artspace and Coffee House, but they weren’t technically open for lunch yet.

“It was right before lunch, and we weren’t ready yet,” said Ms. Siebert, who runs Make Your Mark with husband Hemi Braunstein.

Unfortunately, her silly husband didn’t know he was supposed to make a vegetarian lunch on the spot for the superstar.

“My husband doesn’t know a superstar from the next guy. If someone else had been behind the counter, we would have opened up the kitchen,” Siebert said.

“We hope he comes back. I’ve heard he is a vegetarian and eats kind of healthy, and that’s what we’re all about,” she added.

You can grab a vegetarian entree at Make Your Mark during lunch hours, regardless of your celebrity status.

In a letter from the Brigitte Bardot foundation, France president Nicolas Sarkozy has been asked to implement a meat-free day in the country, starting with all public establishments, and encouraging the private sector to do so as well.

“Other than environmental and humane concerns, the refusal of meat consumption is also the best way to protest against the inhumanity and cruelty in factory farms, during transport and during the slaughter of billions of animals that are sacrificed and eaten each year,” the foundation wrote.

“There is already a ‘day ago without car’, a ‘day without tobacco’, but the initiation of a vegetarian day would have a much greater impact than all ‘carbon’ taxes put together, and the planet would be in infinitely better shape (which would be even still better if that vegetarian initiative would be valid for 365 days per year”).

Bardot’s request comes just after the Climate summit in New York and ahead of the Carbon Tax launch on fuels in France.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations states in their report “Livestock a major threat to environment,” that the livestock sector produces more gases than all of the transportation industry combined.

Propagandhi makes it no secret they disagree with the concept of “humanely raised meat” as is evident through their song about roasting Sandor Katz.

Band member Chris Hannah explains what he meant about his statement that, “we do encourage people to slaughter and devour organically-fed human corpses.”

“Obviously it’s tongue in cheek,” Chris says. “People are spreading the idea around that there’s a humane way of confining, terrorizing, mutilating, killing and eating non-human animals.”

“I don’t think that’s a very good rationalization-to tend to call things Happy Meat or Humane Meat. I think it’s dishonest.”

Whew! Glad Chris wasn’t serious about cheering on cannibalism.

Watch the clip for more from the interview.

If you’re in Venice, California, there’s still time to head over to the 2009 Abbot Kinney Festival, which is described by festival officials as a fun event for, “adults who are environmentally conscious, focused on health, love animals, enjoy bicycling, family-oriented, unpretentiously hip, and arts-minded.”

Health focused and environmentally conscious include eating more plant based foods and Compassion Over Killing is on hand passing out pro-vegetarian pamphlets to all those unpretentiously hip festival goers.

So head over and say hi to the folks at COK and enjoy the featured exhibitors, including the Whole Foods Green Scene, featuring Clif Bar and Tom’s Shoes.

The festival will be ongoing until 6PM, Pacific time.

William Safire, New York Times and presidential speech writer, has died at the age of 79.

Safire once devoted a column in the New York Times on vegetarianism and veganism, citing woodworker and originator of the word “vegan” Donald Watson.

Safire himself, took the time to elaborate on the pronunciation of the word “vegan.”

“My problem with vegan, now affirmatively used as self-description by roughly two million Americans, is its pronunciation. Does the first syllable sound like the vedge in vegetable, with the soft g? Or is it pronounced like the name sci-fi writers have given the blue-skinned aliens from far-off Vega: VEE-gans or VAY-gans?”

“For this we turn to the word’s coiner: ”The pronunciation is VEE-gan,” Watson told Vegetarians in Paradise, a Los Angeles-based Web site, last year, ”not vay-gan, veggan or veejan.” He chooses the ee sound followed by a hard g. That’s decisive but not definitive; some lexicographers differ, and pronunciation will ultimately be determined by the majority of users.”

“I’ll go along with the coiner’s pronunciation of VEE-gan. He’s a charmingly crotchety geezer who began as a vegetarian. ”When my older brother and younger sister joined me as vegetarians, nonsmokers, teetotalers and conscientious objectors,” Watson says, ”my mother said she felt like a hen that had hatched a clutch of duck eggs.” He obviously inherited her feel for language. I’m a carnivore myself — an animal that delights in eating other animals — but won’t treat this guy like a fad-diet freak: Watson has a major coinage under his belt, and he’s a spry 94.”

Always nice to see a non veg appreciate someone who follows the lifestyle.

Our thoughts are with Safire’s friends and family.

So, aside from those chicken eating allegations by Magic Johnson, Michael Jackson tried to live a vegetarian lifestyle.

He’s being honored for this, and several other lifestyle choices by his Hindu fans.

“According to reports, he was reading India’s first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s poems during the last days of his life and he collaborated with Oscar winner A. R. Rahman,” said Hindu statesman Rajad Zed. “He reportedly learned how to meditate and was vegetarian.”

Michael’s Hindu fans dedicated a pind-daan ritual to him at the holy city of Bodh Gaya as part of last week’s pitrapaksh festivities.

The ceremony was conducted at the Vishnupad Temple on the banks of the Falgu River in Bihar, and led by a priest, who is a devotee of Michael.

Zed added, “Several celebrities have offered prayers here in the past for the salvation of their ancestors, including the Bollywood superstar Shatrughan Sinha.”

“Hindus believe that pind-daan, performed during the fortnight long pitrapaksh period, brings relief to departed souls. Around one million people from all over the world congregate in Bodh Gaya for pind-daan annually. After taking bath in a nearby kund (reservoir), the pilgrims perform pind-daan, involving religious rites for the peace of souls of one’s parents and ancestors.”

Looks like fans all over the world are still celebrating, grieving, and remembering one of the greatest pop stars ever.
