Vegetarian Star

France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, recently showed her compassionate side by revealing she refuses to wear fur.

Now hubby president Nicolas Sarkozy is appearing to show support for animals and the environment, supporting a ban on bluefin tuna fishing, wanting to add the fish to the Convention In International Trade on Endangered Species.

However, appearances can be deceiving.

It seems Sarkozy’s ban has more to do with helping people fish more in the future than it does to save the fishes.

At the national stakeholder consultation on the future of France’s fisheries, Sarkozy said, “Ours is the last generation with the ability to take action before it’s too late – we must protect marine resources now, in order to fish better in future. We owe this to fishermen, and we owe it to future generations.”

Several notable people, including vegan actress and activist Alicia Silverstone, as well as some British celebrities, have spoken against bluefin tuna being served in restaurants due to the fact it’s an endangered species.

After Milwaukee Brewer’s first baseman Prince Fielder won the Home Derby Competition, a mobile pizza truck that sells pizza by the slice in Milwaukee, Street-za, made a special pizza to honor the hometown hero.

There’s just one problem.

Prince Fielder is a vegetarian and that pizza ain’t nowhere near veggie.

Here are the toppings for the Streetza Brew Crew Sausage Race:

Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, Polish sausage and hot dogs.

Vendor dudes could have at least did a little bit of research before whipping that up. A pizza slice abundant with veggies or even multiple varieties of cheese would have been better.

The perfect slice, of course, would be one topped with faux sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and hot dogs, as it would be the perfect opportunity to show fans what Prince is getting and what they’re missing on a regular basis.

Sigh. Opportunity missed.

Gotta give the Street-za guys credit for putting a vegan pizza on the menu, though, with the description, “Hopefully we aren’t banished from Wisconsin for this pizza. A Cheese-less pizza with our tomato sauce, fresh spinach, eggplant, onions, & cajun spiced potatoes. How can a pizza be good with no cheese? It is. Trust us.”

Sam Neill has been starring in television advertisements for Australia’s Meat and Livestock industry. The ads promote red meat as a vital contributor to brain health and feature such taglines as “Meat – you’d be silly not to eat it”.

Jason Baker, director of PETA Asia-Pacific, has sent Neill a letter suggesting alternative mottos, such as “Meat: It’s What’s Rotting in Your Colon”.

“Seeing you pimp for an industry that is linked to the main killers of human beings as well as of animals is, well, sad,” Baker wrote.

Baker goes on to mention that people with higher IQs are more likely to go vegetarian.

Baker plays upon Neill being famous for his role in the 1993 science fiction thriller Jurassic Park.

“Won’t you agree that it’s time to evolve, choose a plant-based diet and leave Jurassic tastes in the dust (since the meat habit will cause the extinction of us all)?”

Here’s an example of the ads showing that feature Neill.

Rupert Everett was recently on the Rachael Ray show where he announced he’s no longer vegetarian.

And he’s got such as WEAK excuse.

Last time Rupert was on Rachael Ray, Rachael made him a vegetable curry because she knew he was a vegetarian.

When Rachael mentioned she heard he was no longer vegetarian, Rupert rambled about loving cows, but enjoying meat, and feeling weak while being vegetarian.

Now, isn’t that just pathetic.

Rachael Ray threw in her ridiculous piece of information that her grandfather said eating meat was good for the blood.

Please stick to cooking, Rachael.

Sure, meat contains iron, which red blood cells need to function, but that mineral can be found in numerous plant sources like spinach, soybeans, seeds, tofu, beans, quinoa, and the list goes on.

Rupert’s British brother, Paul McCartney, might have a few suggestions for countering that “weak” feeling, especially since he’s got over another whole decade of years on him and is still going strong.

If Padma Lakshmi is the burger food porn queen, and Jessica Szohr’s burger whoredom gave her an orgasm, then Cassie Steele must partake in the occasional burger orgy every now and then.

Yes, minors, click over to Disney, because this post contains too much adult content you should never be exposed to.

Actress Cassie Steele has revealed she used to be a vegetarian and then, out of the blue, she just quit.

Now the Degrassi star has 10 burgers in one day and they’re not exactly veggie.

“If I try to diet for my work, it backfires and I’ll just rebel and have like 10 hamburgers in a day. I can out eat anybody. I used to be a vegetarian, and then one day I just quit. Everyday is pizza, and chicken wings. I try not to limit myself to what I eat. Just everything in moderation, obviously. I guess moderation would be the wrong word, because I really just eat everything.”

Yes, Cassie must be using the wrong words, because daily chicken wings is not exactly our idea of “moderation.”

What gives, darling?

Vegetarianism is not about dieting. We’d never want you to feel restricted because of it. Why not replace your chicken wings with Morningstar Veggie Buffalo Wings or make your own meatless version?

Recently Barack Obama hosted chef Bobby Flay and several men from local D.C. schools at the Kick Off Young Men’s barbecue on the White House South Lawn.

This makes, what, strike three?

Ray’s Hell burger visit with vice president Joe Biden, the Cheeseburger incident at Five Guys, and now a barbecue on the White House lawn.

Grilled steak, corn, and chicken were on the menu, but no where on the White House blog did it mention a veggie burger.

Mr. Obama doesn’t appear to be practicing what he preached last year on the campaign trail when he said encouraging Americans to eat more plant based foods can clean up the healthcare mess by reducing rates of obesity related diseases like diabetes.

At least First Lady Michelle Obama is promoting eating more vegetables.

Bollywood actress Asin Thottumkal has turned down PETA to promote vegetarianism.

“After I entered the film industry, I restricted my non-veg diet to fish and chicken,” she said. “I can’t, however, remain without non-veg food even for a single day. Therefore, it won’t be proper for me to involve myself in the campaign against non-vegetarian food.”

So this gal is no Kareena Kapoor or Mallika Sherawat.

But a big question burning in our minds is: Didn’t PETA do a background check?

Sure, the guys are excited to get celebrities naked, or uh, have celebrities promote a healthy and compassionate diet and lifestyle, but do they think before inviting them to take off their clothes, or uh, star in pro-vegetarian ads?

You would think the group would target well known celebs who don’t flip flop about their diet, like Kareena or Mallika, for example.

It’s great PETA wants to feature as many celebrities as possible in their campaigns, but they must be careful to choose those with the strongest convictions with a solid history of sticking to their principles.

Otherwise, we get these Naomi Campbell, “I’d rather go naked than wear fur”,… “Oh, wait. Who am I kidding, I still dig fur,” spokespersons.

Bad news for seals everywhere.

In May, Canada’s governor general Michaelle Jean was taped by the media eating a raw seal heart she personally killed.

This, in combination with the recent European Union ban on imports of Canadian seal products has contributed to an increase in the request for seal meat at restaurants in Canada.

From the New York Times:

“The episode, which prompted extensive news media coverage in Canada, also cast a spotlight on seal-serving chefs like Mr. Lenglet. With the attention has come an increase in orders for Mr. Lenglet’s seal dishes, but also death threats, in the form of e-mail messages from Europe, where seal hunting protests have been most intense.”

Yikes!

Mr. Lenglet is the owner of Canadian restaurant Au Cinquième Péché in Montreal.
