Kathy Freston "Veganist"

Kathy Freston made an appearance on “Good Morning America” and shared some of her favorite comfort meals cooked vegan style!

Mock versions of chicken dinners, pastas with meatballs and ice cream are good ways for people to make the transition to a vegan diet, Freston says.

“Take out eating one animal at a time and replace it with the vegan meal that looks like the traditional favorite food and just lean into it. You don’t have to make the change overnight but just gradually move toward vegan food.”

Freston tantalizes Robin Roberts‘ taste buds with vegan Chicken Parmesan, spaghetti bolognese, chicken nuggets and ice cream made from coconut and soy milk. With selections like these, it may be tempting to ditch the whole “gradual” movement and dive right in.

Seitan and soy chicken fingers every night anyone?

Watch the clip of Freston on Good Morning America below.

As an anchor of the popular HLN show Issues, Jane Velez-Mitchell is required to maintain style.

Good thing no one ever sees her feet while she’s on television.

Jane’s interview with Media Bistro reveals she once left the house with two different kinds of shoes on.

But at least they were animal-free.

“No matter how many stupid things I say here, I know I’m a winner because at the end of the day I haven’t killed anything to get through this day,” Jane says.

Dusty the burglar has a habit of wandering into the night and coming home with items that don’t belong to him. It doesn’t matter what kind of security you invest in, any thief that measures about 45 centimeters in length will find a way to get in and get your things.

Although Dusty the cat steals many items from his neighbors in San Mateo, California, he especially has a fetish for swimsuits hanging out to dry.

Bob Barker was a guest on The Craig Ferguson Show when the topic turned to sex.

“That’s what I’m staying in shape for,” the 87-year old told Ferguson.

While we can’t comment on Barker’s prowess in the bedroom, we can vouch that he’s still going strong in the animal rights world. The most recent example of Bob’s outspokenness involves him calling for the release of the elephants in a Toronto zoo, citing they need a warmer climate.

“It was never intended for elephants to be in such cold weather,” Barker told the Toronto Star. “And in captivity, the biggest cause of death for elephants is foot problems. They develop foot problems, and they become infected; that infection spreads all over their body, and they die, die much earlier than they would in the wild.”

Oh, dear Gaga.

While arriving at the Grammy’s in an egg you would later hatch out of is not nearly as smelly as the meat dress you wore last year, we’d still rather see you in some animal-free attire, like lettuce leaves.

If you missed the singer’s grand arrival being carried by her servants, or, uh, people paid too much money to join in on the ridiculousness, you can view that below. However, it’s also a perfect time to discuss what goes into an egg label.

Free-roaming? Cage-free? Certified Humane? Gaga Approved?

Confusing terms such as those mentioned above can all be deciphered on the Humane Society’s article on Egg Carton Labels: A brief guide to labels and animal welfare.

Moby has been a vegan for about half his life, but at a Wanderlust Festival Speakeasy Lecture series, the musician filled in the blanks about what his diet was like before he found the starving kitten in the dumpster that made him rethink his dedication to animals.

“Up until the time I was about 19 years old, I had nothing but disdain for vegetarians and vegans. There was a woman in my high school class and she refused to play softball because the mitt was made out of leather. And I just thought that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard.”

It was recently discovered that Urban Outfitters was selling real fur under a faux label.

An unfortunate event, as this store could have been trusted by many animal lovers due to its popularity. It’s even on the Humane Society’s Fur-Free Retailers list.  However, Urban Outfitters has acknowledged the mistake, citing the product vendor’s factory as the source of the labelling issue and insists it remains committed to keeping its pledge not to sell fur items.

Ethical fashion blogger Joshua Katcher, who also blogs at TheDiscerningBruite.com, purchased the item from Urban Outfitters, the “S Loves C by Spring & Clifton Faux Fur Cardigan,” and put the garment through several test that can determine if something is real or fake fur.
