“This isn’t just me, a vegetarian, banging on: it was a United Nations report … that got me interested. There’s a need to do something: the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport put together. People are confused about what they can do — they can try one meat-free day a week. It’s kind of interesting once you get into it.”

—-Paul McCartney, addressing a crowd at the European Parliament last week in Brussels, Belgium, promoting his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Getting into going meat-free may be an occasional treat to start.

But who knows?

After awhile, you may find it so hot, you’ll wanna do the veg thing every day.

Saturday Night Live featured a hilarious clip mocking Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Dave Matthews.

“Jason” walks in and “Jack” says “vegan cookies” and asks Jason what he’s been up to.

“Oh, the usual,” Jason says.

“Maintaining my avocado farm,” he added.

Jason’s recipe for chocomole containing chocolate, agave syrup and avocado might be even better than vegan cookies.

Try Jason’s chocomole after watching the clip!

Cat Stevens Comeback–Hope The “Wild World” Is Still Vegetarian

Cat Stevens is back!

The singer who changed his name to Yusuf Islam and appeared to retire from music performance has announced a new tour after a 33 year break.

The tour will feature an acoustic set of Cat’s favorites, such as “Wild World,” as well as a preview of his new musical.

Cat became vegetarian in the 70s, but after disappearing from public life for so long, it’s not known whether he follows the diet currently.

Some of his thoughts on the transformation that occurred over 30 years ago, which included going meatless.

“I tried to find out where I really wanted to go at certain points in my life: I studied different spiritual paths; I was a vegetarian and I studied meditation. At certain points I tried to get out of the machine but I didn’t really know where I wanted to go. But when I got finally to learn a few things about Islam, to me it was a missing piece of the puzzle. A lot of people overlook it. Perhaps they’re looking at the wrong kind of picture of Islam, but they don’t see what I see, which is an amazing conversion of what I believed as a Christian, what I read in the Bible, and what I understood about Transcendental Meditation. It all came together in a religion which wasn’t really a religion as such, more a spiritual path — so that made a big impact on me.”

A Muslim Vegetarian Society was exists for those wishing to combine their interests and passion for both faith and vegetarianism.

Stella McCartney Fashion Show - Celebrities

Sir Paul McCartney is scheduled to speak at a European Parliament hearing on December 3 2009 to discuss how eating less meat can fight global warming.

The Global Warming and Food Policy: Less Meat = Less Heat will feature both Paul and Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, urging legislators to encourage people to fight climate change, which includes eating less meat.

The hearing takes place from 10 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. in Parliament’s plenary chamber and will be chaired by Vice-President Edward McMillan-Scott.

A press conference featuring Paul and Dr. Pachauri will follow.

Hope the Parliament listens to the two notable speakers.

In 2006, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization concluded that producing the world’s beef and pork generates 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions versus the 13% generated by all the world’s cars, planes, trains and boats.

One Republic Ryan Tedder PETA Animal Birth Control Ad (Video)

One Republic front man Ryan Tedder would like to teach you a little bit about birth control.

Don’t worry, this talk shouldn’t be as embarrassing as the one mom and dad had with you because it only involves your four legged children.

“I was shocked to find out that 6-8 million animals are dumped in overcrowded shelters each year,” Tedder says. “And half of them are euthanized because there aren’t enough good homes.”

Take Ryan’s advice and get your next pet from a shelter before it’s too late to apologize to the 3-4 million animals that never find homes.

Don’t forget to spay and neuter.
