Vegetarian Star

An extremely nifty tool was creator by one of Vegetarian Star’s Twitter followers @jrhicks.

The documentary that examines the claim that a plant-based diet can cure and reverse heart disease, Forks Over Knives, is out in select theaters across the United States. For some, it’s a matter of taking the train or driving a few miles, but for others, as the locator states, it’s a matter of “contemplating a road trip.”

At least that road trip is now a lot easier with detailed driving instructions, mileage, driving time and a map using Google Maps.

How does Treehugger.com‘s founder do his part to help the environment even though he’s not a full time vegan? He simply eats a vegetarian diet for the majority of the week.

This “Weekday Vegetarian” plan was first discussed at a TED conference in February 2010 and now Graham Hill has written a book on it and published it exclusively to Amazon Kindle.

“I have to say, I’m pretty blown away by these apps. Over 2000 recipes, timers, menu tips, charts, handy illustrations. But this app is less about technology — it’s just a cookbook in a new form. It doesn’t change the way you cook. It changes the way you look at recipes.”

“For me, the real question is: does it bring more people to cooking? If it does, wonderful. If it doesn’t, maybe it’s just a fad. But it’s way too early to say. We need to give it another 5 years or so. Really give people a chance to figure out how to use these things in the kitchen. These apps have the potential to make people’s lives easier.”

–Mark Bittman, on his new How To Cook Everything Vegetarian app, now available from iTunes for $4.99. Can apps bring more people to the kitchen? They make it a lot easier to build a collection of recipes and books that offer cooking instructions without taking up shelves in the kitchen. In addition to Bittman’s app, don’t forget to check out other vegetarian and vegan cooking apps.

Just when you thought it was okay to breathe again. That a ridiculous virtual reality dog fighting game that could only do more harm than “raise awareness” to the issue (as its developers claim) was gone.

No, Kage Games has re-branded Dog Wars as “KG Dogfighting,” a name worst than the app’s original.

Alicia Silverstone has written a letter to the company that created Dog Wars, the Android app that’s angering dog lovers nationwide, as it allows players to use pit bulls in dog fighting scenarios.

Silverstone addressed the CEO of Google, the owner of Android and Kage Games LLC, the maker of the app.

“When I read about the new game Dog Wars, I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Silverstone wrote. “As a mom-to-be and someone who has adopted and loved rescued pit bulls, I join PETA’s millions of members in imploring you to cancel this game immediately. If one dog dies as a result of this game, you will not forgive yourself.”
