In a new video from the satirical news network, “The Onion,” a (fake) FDA official has the solution to saving America’s health.
Just eat some f*cking vegetables every once in awhile, okay? That’s all there is to it.
“You just buy a bag of f*cking carrots and you eat them the way you normally would eat a package of hot dogs. Okay? If you usually stand in front of an open fridge shoving them in your fat face cold. Well, then just do that with a carrot.”
Comments Off on Alice Waters And Dan Barber Take Bluefin Tuna Off Menus
Renowned chefs Alice Waters and Dan Barber have vowed to take bluefin tuna, a critically endangered fish that’s high in mercury, off their menus as part of the Center For Biological Diversity‘s campaign to protect them.
The campaign was launched on November 30, 2010, after the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas refused to take action to protect the species. Both the Western and Eastern Atlantic varieties of bluefin have declined in numbers by 80% since 1970 and 74% between 1957 and 2007, respectively.
The actress and animal welfare activist turned 89 recently and appeared on The View to discuss her latest projects, an indication she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Barbara Walters reminded White that during one interview she told her she liked animals more than people.
“That’s true,” White said, eliciting laughter from the group. “I don’t make it a secret.”
“They never lie to you. You know when they tell you something, they mean it. They love you unconditionally,” White continued.
The seafood was served at Ramsay’s London restaurant Maze as well as La Veranda in Versailles, France, where he is a consultant. Oliver sold European eel at his London restaurant, Fifteen.
Ironically, both chefs have also recently appeared on the UK television series, “Big Fish Fight,” about sustainable fishing.
If you didn’t give a roasted seitan about what celebrities do, you probably wouldn’t be reading this post.
The organizers of Climate Week realize that if people like Gwyneth Paltrow put up a story about composting poop on Goop, a trend will soon follow. That’s why they commissioned Millward Brown, a brand research consultancy, to use its “Cebra” (celebrity-brand) index to survey people to see which celebrities carry the greatest influence in inciting fans to act on saving the environment.
“We are often told that we are living in the “age of celebrity”. Yes, it’s an utterly depressing thought, but some believe we should exploit this collective obsession by putting to good use the mighty influence many celebrities wield,” writes The Guardian. “The reason is simple: many people – whether they admit it or not – look up to celebrities.”
And it may be even more utterly depressing to think of “scientific survey” and “celebrity” used in the same sentence, but let’s take a look at what Millward Brown did and found.
Comments Off on Russell Simmons “Super Rich” Tweet Prompts Savings From Reducing Meat Intake
Russell Simmons has released a book, Super Rich, an inspirational guide about finding wealth in both the spiritual and financial markets.
The vegan business mogul recently Tweeted to inspire his Twitter followers, asking them, “What would you do if you were Super Rich?”
One follower responded with, “I’m well on my way to being #superrich because I’m saving so many precious and innocent animals by not eating meat!!! :)”
The vegetarian financial plan not only saves animals, but also the environment. One study concluded that $20 million of the costs of fighting climate change could be saved in terms of reducing greenhouse gases and making use of land used for animal agriculture. It was estimated these changes would also lessen the need for energy saving technologies, such as clean coal.
And in terms of human health costs, the savings estimates are in the billions.
Now, a New York University graduate student has created a human cheese product that has been taste tested by real people.
Will it be long before Mills’ acquires the right to produce “PeopleCheezly” and other mom’s milk products at her natural foods company, Redwood Wholefood?
Mirium Simun told Grist:
“Human cheese is initially a pretty shocking concept to most people. In that way its a great conversation starter — people very quickly bring up all sorts of different issues. I’ve had questions come up like, is it OK for a vegan? Is it empowering or exploitative of the woman? Is it dangerous, or actually healthier? Many people feel uncomfortable because they don’t know the woman, or what she is eating — but how often do you know the cows whose milk make your cheese, and what they are eating? The sustainability question is great, too, a lot of people totally get it, they love that I’m using human extracts to make human food, while others think of cannibalism.”
Before you form an opinion, take a look at the finished product and check out the available flavors below.
Comments Off on “Bob’s Burgers” Too Much For A Vegetarian To Swallow (Video)
Bob’s Burgers is a new series on Fox about a family ran burger business and all the hilarity that ensues during a normal workweek at a small-owned business. With the word “burger” in the title, you know it’s no vegetarian paradise, but even if you eat meat, you might find your next burger joint visit revolting if the owners are anything like the Belcher family.
Take episode one, for example. Tina Belcher, one of Bob’s daughters, announces she has a rash in her pubic region and states she might not be good with the grill due to the fact one hand will be tied up scratching the region.
Next door appears to be either a PETA or an anti-PETA office, with the acronym PFETA (People For Eating Tasty Animals?). There’s a “Meat is Murder” sticker on the window, but we’re still unsure if this is a legitimate AR office or a mockery that’s been targeted. On the other side is a crematorium (where the regular customers go earlier than most, we’re sure).
The special for one day was so inappropriately titled “The Child Molester Burger” because it comes with a piece of candy to lure customers to it.
To top it all off, the health inspector, responding to a rumor that Bob’s puts human remains in its burgers (maybe someone found a strand of Tina’s pubic hair in there), says that’s only okay if the burgers contain the FDA allowed amount of 4% or less human flesh in them.
Bob’s Burgers is still funny because we’re dealing with cartoon characters. However, a recent study found kids in real life should stay clear of all burgers even if they aren’t associated with child molesters. Children who eat more than 3 burgers per week may be at a higher risk for asthma and wheezing. There’s no data on whether or not these burgers also give them pubic rashes. Maybe those are the patties with human remains in them.
Full episode one of Bob’s Burgers can be seen below.
