Glenn Beck To Al Gore–Eat Tofu, Save The Planet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 in Politicians, TV Hosts, Videos.

Glenn Beck recently highlighted the importance of reducing meat consumption to prevent further destruction of the environment.

Beck called out Al Gore for not aggressively addressing the problem and encouraging environmentalists to become at least part time vegetarians and they are full time Prius drivers.

Beck began with a quote from U.K.’s climate chief Lord Stern:

“Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”

Although he poo pooed the idea of Meatless Mondays in some schools (some blah blah about forcing a lifestyle on someone), Beck then demanded that Gore put his burger down and demand other environmentalist do the same.

And…gulp. Beck says he sides with PETA.

“That’s why I am siding with PETA on this one — once again asking Al Gore: If you really want to save the planet, put down the cheeseburgers and pick up the veggie burgers. Time for soy milk and to-furkey. No more delicious chocolate cookies — how about a nice bean-thing. That is, if you want to save the planet.”

“I’ve said before I disagree with PETA, but I respect them because they are not hypocrites: They say what they mean and mean what they say. I just disagree with what they say — except when it calls for Al Gore to eat tofu.”

This guy’s starting to grow on us. Not only is he not a frog killer, but he respects vegetarianism.

Will Beck soon produce a conservative’s porn dream and strip down to his naughties saying “I’d rather go naked than keep destroying the planet?”

Michelle Obama appeared on The Jay Leno Show and revealed the first pup, Bo, feasted on a doghouse shaped cake made of veal.

Ugh!

And you thought it couldn’t get any worse after the Obamas turned down the opportunity for a shelter dog.

We can’t think of a more unhappier celebration than a cake made from animals that are taken away from their mothers at birth and confined in small crates where they can’t move around.

It’s an industry so cruel, even some meat eaters swear off baby animals.

For a cruelty-free celebration with your pup, visit v-dogfood.com.

Thanks to Rick for the tip!

"I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!" Press Conference

He may already be viewed as a disgraced politician, but former Illinois governor  Rod Blagojevich really went to the dogs for a Halloween contest recently.

One dog owner dressed up his dog to resemble Blagojevich, complete with black toupee, for the event that benefited PAWS Chicago, Chicago’s largest non-profit, no kill humane shelter.

The event was sponsored by luxury pet boutique Tails in the City.

PAWS Chicago is the shelter that Oprah Winfrey chose to adopt her recent four legged additions.

Take a look at the video and decide for yourself.

Can this doggie take Blago’s place in the House?

Chipotle Shares Double After IPO

Yay for Chipotle!

The restaurant located in DuPont Circle in Washington, D.C. now offers a vegan meat filling.

The combination of wheat protein, soy protein, and vegetables is marinated in Chipotle’s adobe sauce and grilled.

We’re hoping it’s grilled separately from the real thing.

According to co-CEO, founder, and chairman Steve Ells, the veggie alternative is an extension in the company’s mission to support ethical farming.

If the new veggie option is received well, there is potential for its expansion to other restaurants, but as for now, it’s only available in D.C.

Which means Obama no longer has excuses for his burgers runs.

George W. Bush Affirms Vegan Religion: Let Us All Worship Seitan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 5th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Humor, Politicians.

George W. Bush Gives His First Post-Presidency Speech

George W. Bush recently gave a speech at Lubbock Christian University, where he confirmed what every vegan loves to hear: They are free to worship seitan.

Bush said Americans should be able to worship any religion they like and began naming a few before he said “vegan,” getting a roar of laughter from the audience.

“No one should say I’m more American than you by their faith,” Bush added. “I don’t know how to be president without faith,” he continued and then discussed how he was touched by people who often told him they were praying for him.

Bush’s niece, Lauren Bush, is a member of the vegetarian congregation.

Who knew George W. had such a great sense of humor?

Michelle Obama Sesame Street Marxist, Fascist Vegetarian Agenda

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Humor, Politicians, Videos.

Michelle Obama made an appearance with Elmo and other furry friends on Sesame Street, encouraging children to eat and plant vegetables as part of Sesame Street’s 40th year anniversary on air.

Time has chosen to poke fun of Michelle’s green and veggie agenda, describing it as “radical/Marxist/Fascist” and here are a few humorous highlights from the article:

“Sesame Street abounds with animals—a mighty bird, a plump Snuffleupagus—yet no one suggests harvesting this local bounty, as was good enough for the Pilgrims, to provide growing children with protein. What do you have against meat, Mrs. Obama? Why are you trying to force your extremist vegetarian agenda on our children?”

(Insert Our thoughts: Does a free-range Snuffleupagus make it more humane?)

“Also, you know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler! (Unless he wasn’t. But it sounds good.)”

“Finally, you know what else grows in nature? ACORNs! Coincidence? I think not!”

Watch the clip above to see Michelle visit time.com to read all evidence pointing to Michelle’s visit being a radical agenda to push veggies on our children.

Nicolas Sarkozy Asked To Initiate Vegetarian Day In France

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 28th, 2009 in Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink, Politicians.

World Leaders Attend First Day Of UN General Assembly

In a letter from the Brigitte Bardot foundation, France president Nicolas Sarkozy has been asked to implement a meat-free day in the country, starting with all public establishments, and encouraging the private sector to do so as well.

“Other than environmental and humane concerns, the refusal of meat consumption is also the best way to protest against the inhumanity and cruelty in factory farms, during transport and during the slaughter of billions of animals that are sacrificed and eaten each year,” the foundation wrote.

“There is already a ‘day ago without car’, a ‘day without tobacco’, but the initiation of a vegetarian day would have a much greater impact than all ‘carbon’ taxes put together, and the planet would be in infinitely better shape (which would be even still better if that vegetarian initiative would be valid for 365 days per year”).

Bardot’s request comes just after the Climate summit in New York and ahead of the Carbon Tax launch on fuels in France.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations states in their report “Livestock a major threat to environment,” that the livestock sector produces more gases than all of the transportation industry combined.
