Several British celebrities have spoken out about a plan to bring factory dairy farms to Britain, including vegetarians Leona Lewis and Chrissie Hynde.

The World Society for the Protection of Animals has launched a campaign, “Not In My Cuppa,” educating British people on the effects of large-scale dairy farms on animals and the environment and asking them to state they would not drink milk from battery cows.

The plan to bring Nocton Dairy to Britain is one of the first in the UK, according to the WSPA. And almost half of the British surveyed said milk made them think of cows grazing in green pastures and 61% said they’d never buy milk produced from such a large farm.

Here’s what the plan could mean in terms of animal welfare and the environment:

While being interviewed by the NBC Today Show, Weird Al Yankovic shared his recipe for a Twinkie hot dog.

This dish involves taking a Twinkie and slicing it in half, then placing a tofu pup in the middle and topping with your favorite toppings. Go throw up now. But come right back and finish reading.

Although some tout the weight loss benefits of a Twinkie diet, the yellow submarine is full of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dyes and other preservative items that one person found so interesting, he photographed all 37 ingredients in it so viewers could play a matching game to figure out which one is which.

Actor James Cromwell has lent his voice to a new film produced by animal rights group Mercy For Animals, Farm To Fridge.

The film gives viewers an inside look at farms where animals are raised for food. Although brief–only 12 minutes in length–Farm To Fridge is able to examine the cruelty involved in a variety of animal agriculture, including beef, pork, egg, dairy, poultry and seafood.

MFA used footage it obtained from undercover investigations. This is the same group that uncovered the cruelty that took place at the Ohio dairy farm, Conklin, where a worker was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty after seen punching, stomping and beating cows on tape.

“James was our first choice to narrate the film,” MFA Founder and Executive Director Nathan Runkle told VegNews in an interview. “In addition to being an Academy Award-nominee and seasoned actor, he is an ethical vegan, a dedicated, sincere, and passionate animal-rights advocate, and has an incredibly impactful voice. We approached James about this project and he eagerly jumped on board. We are so thrilled and grateful to be partnering with him.”

Farm To Fridge can be viewed below.

On Friday, February 4, 2011 at 10:00 p.m., Barbara Walters will host several well known celebrities who’ve had heart surgery on an ABC special, “A Matter Of Life And Death.”

Walters, a heart surgery patient herself, will feature David Letterman, Robin Williams, Regis Philbin, Charlie Rose and former President Bill Clinton.

Ninety percent of Clinton’s arteries were blocked and he needed quadruple bypass surgery. After recovering, Clinton learned about a study that showed most patients who follow a plant-based diet can reverse their heart damage and decided to give it a try.

Today he still follows that diet and while he’s reached his goal of walking daughter Chelsea down the aisle, he’d like to play with a grandkid or two in the future, which gives him another reason to stay on the course. The clip doesn’t show Clinton talking specifically about the diet, but it’s a good bet he’ll bring it up as a way to illustrate how he’s changed his lifestyle since the surgery.
