Vegetarian Star

But is Minnie Mouse cage-free?

Disney has come up with its own brand of eggs. All your favorite cartoons from classic Mickey to Cars characters that will ultimately be indiscernible once crushed against the side of the stove top before frying appear on the eggs that are hormone and anti-biotic free.

Good to know at least Disney is using products from chickens who weren’t on steroids, but it’s not sure whether they’re from cage free animals. Or if the dyes contain any animal derivatives.

Hopefully, they were free-range and went on all the magic carpet rides with Aladdin they desired.

The cute marketing idea that probably comes with an extra price tag Ebeneezer Scrooge wouldn’t be interested in will have children dragging their parents to the dairy section of the grocery store, so let’s hope Minnie’s products are as egg-thical as they possibly can be.

Several celebrities, including Zoë Kravitz, Slash, Anthony Kiedis, Emily VanCamp, Adrienne Bailon, Danny Masterson and Alan Cumming recently attended a screening of A Sealed Fate, a documentary film /photo exhibit by photographer Nigel Barker for The Humane Society of the US on the lives of baby seals before they are slaughtered.

The event included a vegan dinner celebration, which surely came in handy for vegan Kiedis. It’s not known for sure whether Zoe is a vegetarian, but she’s certainly partaken in vegan grub with mom, Lisa Bonet.

Paris Hilton got to benefit from eating something besides the disgusting beef and cheese sliders she usually enjoys as she was also on the attendee list.

Don’t be fooled, Paris still likes her meat, which is why she made a “special request” to sit next to beefcake hunk Nigel.

We’ve seen what can happen on reality TV when a vegetarian or vegan contestant can’t get the food they need for their diet.

But if anything like that happens on Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol”, vegan Eric Nies might not have a problem going hungry. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before.

The original MTV “Real World” star, who is now a life coach, once fasted for 40 days to raise awareness about obesity and world hunger, according to the Purium Health Products website.

Technically, it wasn’t complete fasting as he drank three to four energy drinks but abstained from solid foods.

Here’s a video of Eric and other former teen idols with clips from Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol.”

“The destruction to the environment by using large areas of land to feed cattle or pigs is actually taking up an awful lot of land that could be used to produce far more protein, if it was vegetable protein. Making animal protein is wasteful.”

Captain Paul Watson is the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the main man at the helm of the Steve Irwin boat on the Animal Planet series Whale Wars, a reality show where the crew (which includes actress Daryl Hannah this season) sails the Southern Ocean, attempting to stop Japanese ships from hunting whales.

In an interview with Jason Miller on The Peoples Voice, Watson challenges the common notion that humans are true carnivores because we don’t eat our prey raw.

JM: As a vegan, you have characterized those who continue the practice of eating animal flesh as necrovores (rather than the “carnivores” many proudly claim to be). Please elaborate upon this and tell us what you think it will take to raise humanity’s moral consciousness to the point that a majority of people end their cruel and unnecessary consumption of meat.

Captain Paul Watson: Humans do not eat like carnivores. Carnivores bring down living prey and eat it raw and most predators target the soft organs leaving much of the muscle for scavengers. Humans eat dead flesh and rarely eat the organs, preferring the muscle tissue. Most of the beef that people eat has been dead for months and in many cases for years. The meat is disguised with bleach and dyes in many cases to hide the decay and the fact that the flesh is putrid. We are closer in our eating habits to vultures and jackals than wolves and lions.

Read the rest of the interview with Captain Watson and learn about a statue the Dalai Lama gave him and how he thinks our current political and economic systems go against the basic laws of ecology.

Something to make you laugh. George H.W. Bush (41st Pres and current Bush’s daddy) once said, “I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.” Speak for yourself, George, but this kitten knows what good! He’s a Purina Animal All-Star who loves his broccoli-and gets a little testy when you try to take it away from him.

Terence Gerchberg’s not the only reality TV contestant who felt the pain of being a vegetarian forced to eat meat in an eating competition. Timmy Mallet, a contestant on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! was eliminated from the show after he lost a challenge to fellow contestant Brian Paddick.

The challenge involved comsuming drinks containing blended kangaroo penis and testicles. Not your average margarita.

“It was an eating trial. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m a vegetarian. How could I cope?” he said, accroding to the Uk Mirror.

“Am I comfortable having to consume living creatures? The answer is no, of course I’m not comfortable. But I am a fighter and I believe you’ve got to be in it to win it.”

“I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” is a UK based reality TV show where contestants live in the jungle and have to earn basic necessities.

California’s third oldest person died at 111 years old earlier this month.

Viola May Koch is pictured here at her 111th birthday party.

What did Viola attribute to her longevity? The veg life of course!

“Drink plenty of water, don’t eat meat, don’t overeat, don’t eat between meals, and don’t eat desserts — except for lemon pie,” she once said.

Viola not only lived a good lifestyle, she preached it to her family as well.

Her granddaughter, Sharon Baldwin, was quoted in the Weekly Calistogan as saying, “Grandma told me when I was a little girl, that she started eating right about the time she was 40 years old, and that it was not too early for me to start. She especially told me not to eat too many potato chips, because she knew that was my favorite thing.”

“Grandma is strictly a vegetarian, and I believe she has never eaten any meat, ever,” Baldwin said. “I know I’ve never seen her.”

Viola often wondered why everyone kept asking her why she lived so long. She just told them it was because she ate right. She also never took medications, saying they made her feel “unfit.”

At 111, she looked better than some celebrities do at 50. Let’s all hope we look half as good when we turn 80!
