Vegetarian Star

“I was hounded and followed by Americans worldwide, who said ‘You’ve got to make him stop.’ I hadn’t even heard the show. Actually so many people told me to take it off, I thought ‘(expletive) it.’ I don’t have to do what you people want me to do. That show doesn’t matter to me. I think people are too easily baited. Those talk guys are just part of the gossip culture. Everyone’s got opinions on other people. It’s such a boring, unoriginal topic. No offense, but that’s not an original question. Ask me something else.”

—-hilarious Chrissie Hynde in an interview where she was asked about conservative talks show host Rush Limbaugh using her song, “My City Was Gone,” for his radio show.

Eventually Chrissie allowed Rush to use part of the song, but donate royalties to PETA.

And Rush isn’t such a bad guy after all, as he recorded a PSA for the Humane Society-without Chrissie’s prompt.

The left and the right can get along.

At least when it comes to being an advocate for animals.

“I’m a vegetarian and I long for people to eat less meat. But the thing to do is not to go, ‘Eat! Less! Meat!” It’s to say I am fit as a flea and I’m 63, I haven’t eaten meat for 40 years, and I never get diseases, I’m never ill, and I’m full of energy. So how’s about that?”

—-Joanna Lumley, actress and animal rights activist, during an interview with The Guardian.

Cause there’s no better way to say “Ha, told you so,” to your non veg friends than to flaunt your good health and well being.

“They torture these chickens. No one else is defending these animals.”

“If people are still going to McDonald’s, can McDonald’s stop torturing these beautiful animals that they’re making their profits out of?”

—-Chrissie Hynde, during recent protests against McDonald’s  in Utah for the way the PETA alleges the company slaughters its chickens, including having their legs broken, throats slashed, and scalded in de-feathering tanks.

PETA wants McDonald’s to switch to chickens that are killed via Controlled Atmosphere Killing-a process that cuts off the animal’s oxygen until it dies.

“[Not eating meat] helps a lot of people. Like, people don’t understand that eating red meats can literally be dangerous. Stop eating the red meat and you’ll feel lighter and more harmonious.”

—-Twilight actress Christian Serratos, in a feature by MTV.com on how the stars of the vampire romance series are making a difference.

There are plenty of vegetarians that can vouch for feeling better once they take the pork off their fork.

What changes did you notice after you first became a vegetarian or vegan?

“Well, we’re really not too concerned about what people think about us because our clients happen to be whales and sharks and sea turtles and fish. So you know, we do what we do, and people either like it, or they don’t like it. They either like it passionately or they dislike us intensely. What we do out there is simply go out and intervene against illegal activities. We aren’t a protest group. What we are is an interventionist group. And we’ve never hurt anybody, but we’re quite aggressive.”

—-Captain Paul Watson, founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation and Whale Wars star on how the public reacts to some of the Sea Shepherd’s tactics to thwart Japanese hunters from killing whales.

“This year, we’re starting to make our own raspberry ice cream at Dirt Candy and will use Cascadian Farm berries. They’re never bland-they have a pure raspberry flavor that rivals fresh berries. In fact, they’re so sweet, hey need little or no added sugar, even if you eat them plain.”

—Amanda Cohen, former chef for Moby’s Teany and owner and chef of Dirt Candy vegetarian restaurant in New York city.

Amanda was one of several chefs asked by Vegetarian Times what organic products could be found in their kitchens.

Cascadian Farm not only has the organic raspberries you need this summer, but all the other vegetables you need to eat until your pesticide-free heart is content.

“Back in 1977, when I was a player-coach, I came back from a road trip, and my wife was watching a PBS documentary on how veal comes to the table. As soon as I walked in the door, she said, “We will never eat veal again.” So that started it. Very soon after, all red meat disappeared from our plates, and the chicken and turkey, and then fish. Within a year to a year and a half, we were totally vegetarian.”

—-Major league baseball manager Tony La Russa, in an interview with Vegetarian Times in the September ’09 print issue. Tony and his wife, Elaine, founded the Animal Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit that provides services for abadoned animals, such as vet assistance and adoption.

“Alice Walker! She’s an amazing humanitarian and human rights advocate and has opposed the eating of animals for some time now. A brilliant woman and ahead of her time! I would love to share thoughts and ideas on how to help bring compassion and truth into the hearts of humankind.”

—-actress Persia White, in an exclusive interview with Ecorazzi.com, on what notable person in the vegetarian community she’d like to meet and why.

Alice Walker has written a poem, La Vaca, in praise of cows and was once quoted as saying, “The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.”
