Vegetarian Star

Joining dozens of other musicians, including Billy Coragan and Jimmy Chamberlin, Third Eye Blind’s lead singer and guitarist Stephen Jenkins has given Kentucky Fried Chicken the thumbs down.

Jenkins signed the petition PETA has against KFC due to the way chickens used by the fast food franchise are handled during and before slaughter.

The pledge Stephen and other celebrities have signed against KFC reads as follows:

“Each year, roughly 1 billion chickens raised for KFC suffer from extremely crowded conditions, crippling bone and joint problems resulting from top-heavy breeding, callous handling, inhumane slaughter techniques, and shortened life spans. Because chickens are intelligent and sensitive animals with strong social bonds, I urge David Novak and KFC to address these issues with urgency and negotiate with PETA to improve the lives of these animals.”

KFC has made and is still working towards improvements in its Canadian restaurants, and even offers a vegan chicken sandwich there.

Jared Leto isn’t the only one who can save a spider from the death penalty.

Fall Out Boy was hanging out in South Korea when a spider was spied in one of their rooms.

After contemplating what to do with it, including placing it in Cobra Starship’s dressing room, the great veg man Patrick Stump caught the spider and returned it to its proper environment.

Apparently, there are vegetarian spiders who pass on the ants and go for the greens instead.

Learn something new everyday!

Watch the clip above to see Patrick and the boys in action. The hardcore spider action starts around minute 3:30.

Drummer Pat Thetic of the music group Anti-Flag, was recently interviewed by fanbolt.com, where he revealed he has a little addiction to vegan chocolate chip cookies.

“My favorite vegan dish? Vegan chocolate chip cookies! I just had about 10 of them in the bus.”

Incidentally, where do you get your chocolate chip cookie fix?

Vegan companies like Uncle Eddie’s and Alternative Baking Company make it easy for you go crazy on the cookie while keeping it sane with the eggs and dairy.

Pat also revealed he’s a big fan of vegetables with a little oil and salt and being vegan is easy because he’s never had a taste for meat.

“I find meat to be pretty disgusting, so I’ve never liked meat even as a kid, so it’s not difficult for me at all.”

Anti-Flag is currently lending their efforts to PETA’s Meat’s Not Green campaign in Germany.

A few months ago, PETA unveiled its very own college cookbook, PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School.

If catchy recipe titles like “Pimp My Ramen Noodle” and “Campus Streaker” aren’t enough to get your attention, you’ll be happy to know some of your favorite veg celebrities are giving it the thumbs up as well.

Country music star and former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler said, “I live on a tour bus so if it can’t be made in the microwave or eaten right from the refrigerator or pantry, then I don’t eat it. PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook is perfect for me and my lifestyle.”

And the ever so hilarious AFI band member Hunter Burgan had this to say:

“PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook makes me want to go back to school and earn a degree in yum.”

The cookbook contains 275 vegan recipes and can be ordered online for a student budget price of $14.99.

The great raw Queen Ani Phyo catered a private event recently, and after all the hard work she stopped by to party with Good Charlotte twin Joel Madden.

Joel was spinning for a party at a West Hollywood hotel, but took the time to pose for the camera with Ani, who complimented him and partner Nicole Ritchie for making such great green efforts.

“Joel Madden is married to gorgeous Nicole Richie, and they’re both committed to living eco green. For their 2nd child’s room, they choose non-toxic paints for the walls, organic cotton sheets, and wood products made from reclaimed sustainable wood from the Brazilian rain forest.”

Ani has catered to several stars, including the band Maroon 5.

Visit Ani’s blog to see her pic with Joel and learn all about the raw goodness she doesn’t cook up in her kitchen.

According to the USDA, the average American farmer is 55 years of age or older.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t youngins out there.

And hot ones at that!

Jason Mraz is featured in Mother Nature Network’s “40 Farmers Under 40,” great profiles of young, rosy cheeked agrarians who might take the ipod filled with Greenday and Coldplay with them to the field to harvest crops.

The 32 year old raw vegan singer-songwriter has an avocado garden, which sits on five acres in San Diego, California.

Jason eats his share of 2-4 avocados a day and if you recall us telling you, created a dessert made with avocados and chocolate, the chocomole.

“I do sell my avocados,” Jason told CNN last year. “I mean, they don’t have a sticker on them that say that these are from the Mraz Farms, but I moved into an area that all of us are avocado farmers.”

Visit mnn.com to read who the other 39 farmers under 40 are, which include contributors to noted publications such as the Huffington Post and grist.org and an actor in a Peabody-award winning film.

“New York is a big, gritty city, but it’s also the easiest place in the world to eat well. Within a 10-minute walk of my studio, there are probably 20 vegetarian restaurants. My favorite is still one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in New York: Angelica Kitchen, on 12th Street. I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life. I like the fact that it’s been around for so long; it doesn’t take credit cards and there’s still always a line out the door.”

—-Moby, in a letter explaining why the vegan restaurant, Angelica Kitchen, is one of many reasons he loves New York.

Angelica’s has been feeding veggie New Yorkers since 1976, and features both everyday and special menus filled with delish vegan dishes like the Open Face Tempeh Sandwich, miso soup, noodle dishes and much more.

Potentially being able to spy on Moby makes another great reason to stop by.
