Vegetarian Star

SeaWorld hasn’t made too many friends in the animal welfare world. After a series of events involving the deaths of whales and a trainer, some want the marine park to call it quits.

On a positive note, SeaWorld doesn’t hold all of its animals captive forever.

The organization recently released its 1,000th sea turtle into the waters at Canaveral National Seashore. SeaWorld has had a turtle rescue and rehabilitation program in place since 1980.

Remember those commercials produced by the Corn Refiners Association that touted the benefits of High Fructose Corn Syrup? Saturday Night Live has done its version of those commercials, mocking how the ads made those who were concerned about its effects look snobby and uninformed.

When mom 1 asks mom 2 if she’s really going to feed her child the HFCS drink, mom 2 replies the drink is simply, “made from corn, it’s natural enough and like sugar it’s fine in moderation.” She then remarks it’s not an easy decision between believing mom 1 and the “scientists,” since mom 1 is the stay at home mother who “drinks wine at 10 a.m.”

Mom 1 backs off and tries gentler conversation, complimenting mom 2 on her sweater. That’s when mom 2 confesses it used to be her daughter’s, but the daughter grew out of it. As the camera points to the daughter–drinking yet another glass of HFCS juice–it’s easy to tell the only “growing” the child has accomplished is the fat cells in her mid section and jaws.

The two original commercials for HFCS can be viewed below.

Fran Drescher said she wanted to throw a few vegan-friendly episodes in her new daytime talk show, The Fran Drescher Tawk Show.

A woman who sticks to her word is worth watching!

Drescher recently hosted Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan baker who won last year’s Cupcake Wars on the Food Network.

Drescher said months ago that although she’s not a vegan, she’s “vegan-curious.” Her curiosity and taste buds were satisfied as Coscarelli explained how vegans strive to exclude all animal products, including byproducts from their diets and even ensure their clothing is free from animal products.

Fran revealed she has a cousin who’s a hardcore vegan just like Coscarelli.

During the cake demonstration, Coscarelli suggested adding vinegar to a cake mix keeps it moist, essentially replacing the egg. And since there’re no raw eggs in the batter, feel free to lick to spoon, something Coscarelli said is one of the “best things about vegan baking.”

After learning how animals are killed for food, Waka Flocka Flame gave up more than his clothes like he did for his recent PETA PSA against fur.

In an exclusive, behind the scenes video with PETA, Waka says he doesn’t even eat red meat anymore, citing the treatment of animals for food as one of his reasons.

Lent is approaching, and many are considering giving up what they consider pleasurable foods such as chocolate and meat. If they continued giving up animals products long after the holiday is over, what are some benefits they might gain?

Medical benefits range from the bones to the bowels.

Here are a few reasons to give up red meat like Waka, from The Independent.

Bowel Cancer: People who eat several portions of meat per week are 30% more likely to develop bowel cancer than those who eat less than one portion per week.

Alzheimer’s Disease: Researchers at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) suggest red meat may cause a buildup of Iron in the brain. To make a long story short, your brain gets rusty.
