Jesse Eisenberg has recorded a PSA for the Humane Society of the United States that advises against buying exotic birds in stores.

Eisenberg had the opportunity to voice the character of a Macaw in Rio, a film about the trafficking of exotic birds and the destruction of their natural habitats.

“If an animal’s natural home is in the wild, then chances are, that’s where it belongs,” Eisenberg said. “Unfortunately, the demand for these intelligent, complex creatures—whether captive-bred or wild caught—is decimating the wild parrot species.”

“I want my jokes to be at a higher level. I want jokes with premises that really tap into something. Carlin did something where he really made people aware of political issues and environmental issues while making people laugh at themselves. He was calling people out on their stupidity in a way that made them laugh about it. That’s a skill. I would like to get there. It doesn’t have to be environmental. I am vegan, so I would like to do some animal rights jokes, but it would be more about the suppression in society.I would like to somehow take those serious issues and make people laugh about it.”

—Kate Wolff, vegan stand-up comedian who looks like she’ll be making fun of tofu in the future. Until then, enjoy her commentary on Grandpa has STDs below.

The former president who turned vegan to fight heart disease says he thinks Bloomberg is “doing the right thing.”

Clinton has worked with schools and soft drink companies to improve their lunch menus, including removing or limiting the available of soda in the cafeteria.

“We got a voluntary agreement from all the soft-drinks people to [pull full-calorie soft drinks from schools in 2006]. It has reduced by 88%, the total calories going to kids in vending machines and cafeterias” Clinton said.

If you’re like most people, bugs bug you.

Not that you don’t love them. Not that you won’t fiercely campaign to protect their habitats and all, especially when they are being threatened by even bigger, nastier bugs like deforestation and harmful chemical pesticides.

But when it comes to living side-by-side, you’d rather the bugs stay on theirs.

Daphne Oz, host on The Chew and author of The Dorm Room Diet, has a formula for a natural insect repellent that’s safer for humans and bugs alike.

ABC’s Wife Swap is holding auditions for another season where the women of the house trade places to entertain millions of viewers and give headaches to members of the opposite family.

Vegetarians and vegans, this is your time to spread the word on national television, as this is one reality TV show that’s actually welcoming of you.

“We’re searching for traditional and non-traditional families; parents and kids who love sports; households with strict rules and no rules; vegetarian families and families who eat anything; moms and dads who love the arts and families who just want to have fun…along with every one in between.”

Vegetarians have “swapped” before and made it out okay, like the Brazenwood/Taylor swap of 2009, featuring the matriarchs from a Texas cattle ranch and a new age vegan family seeing what it’s like on the other side.

As expected, the families’ reunion featured a discussion on food, the cattle rancher mom claiming she walked into a home with “no food at all,” and vegan mom giving a lecture on junk food.

Watch the clip below.
