Vegetarian Star

Nikki Dinki is the Masterchef contestant with the flexitarian philosophy of “meat on the side.”

While many vegetarians applaud her attempt to get everyone to eat less meat, some were a little less than pleased that on a recent episode she put real meat in a burger with vegetables versus making a vegetable burger or other plant-based entree and actually putting the meat on the side.

Dinki’s vegetarian sloppy joes more than make up for this faux meat faux pas.

The Daily Show featured a segment that poked fun of animal rights activists investigating wrongdoings on farms.

Usual dry humor was intertwined with more serious questions about why these activists do what they do and how it helps uncover abuse.

Activist Jimmy “Cody” Carlson was asked by the host if he looked like a farmer. When Carlson answered, “No,” the host’s reply was, “They why you tryin’ to f*ck with me like one?”

The next most obvious step is to pose in a pro-veggie ad for PETA.

It’s what nature intended us to do.

Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, one of the country’s largest organizations for abused, neglected and rescued farmed animals, sat down with the hosts of KTLA’s Sunday Edition to answer a few basic questions about the vegan lifestyle.

Baur busts many common stereotypes about veganism.

It’s not the new anorexia and people who follow the diet are quite healthy. It’s not always expensive, doesn’t require a membership to the organic co-op and you may even be able to find a few staples at the local dollar store. An even if you end up paying slightly more, it may save money in the future. Baur cites a statistic that a vegan diet could save us all 70% on our health care costs.

Watch the interview below for more.

Davey Havok, frontman for AFI, has written his first novel.

Pop Kids tells the story of Score Massi, an 18-year old living in a small California town and fixated with many things in life, including pop culture, moving to a big city, and “vegan banana bread,” according to the summary on its back cover.

Such a life is often portrayed in the media as one that includes dabbling in drugs and alcohol on your way up or once you reach the top.

That isn’t the case for Massi and it never was for Havok, as he explained how he got involved with the vegan, straight-edge movement.
