Vegetarian Star

Neil Patrick Harris was a guest on the “The Talk” to discuss his experiences with parenting. The actor and his partner, through the help of a surrogate, are the parents of twins.

With vegan Sara Gilbert and the other ladies of The Talk, Harris explains how he rejected Gilbert’s unconventional advice to raise vegan kids and not vaccinate them.

“You’re a crazy, granola person,” Harris says to Gilbert. “Not to vaccinate for ages and feed them certain weird foods,” he continues when asked what Gilbert recommended, ending with, “You’re a crazy vegan.”

Speaking of vaccinations, the issue over whether a parent should refuse to vaccinate a school attending child is not solely one related to the potential health consequences of the vaccine. Vegetarians and vegans may find vaccines against their principles as some of the formulas have contained animal and even human components to them.

The MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine contains live strains of the virus that is grown in chick embryo cells and then added to a mixture that contains other animal and human cells (gelatin, human albumin, fetal bovine serum).

Yet, another ethical quandary is the use of human fetal tissue in other vaccines.

Sarah Silverman remembers one of her very first Thanksgivings. Or, as she calls it, “Thankskilling.”

In a story the comedian briefly touches on in her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman’s early turkey moments are recalled in this “Funny or Die” video which illustrates her dad taking her to a turkey farm, Sarah being asked to pick the one she likes the best, only to discover she chose the cutest bird with the greatest personality traits to be sentenced to its head chopped off.

Some children learn sooner than others.

Silverman says killing the turkey is a symbol of America’s “self-righteous heritage” that consists of it killing native Americans, stealing their land and similar acts of gratitude towards others.

“Happy Thanksgiving dummies!” she wishes at the end.

The only thing better than an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving is an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving catered by her personal chef Roberto Martin.

Like she’s done in the past, the daytime talk show host welcomed Martin to her show recently to demonstrate some vegan recipes for the holidays. Martin made a roast from seitan, vegan mushroom gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.

The recipes for the roast, yams, and cheesecake are available from Ellen’s website.

Martin says the pumpkin can easily be substituted for berries for those that don’t find the orange fruit tasty in the cheesecake recipe.

Watch Martin roll and slice a perfectly shaped loaf made with wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs and several spices in the video below.

After five years of eating vegan, Robin Quivers faced what many face after putting another bean burrito in the microwave and scarfing it down with tomato soup. Bored with her usual food routine, Quivers hired a chef, a handsome man named Gavan who is reported to be able to “cook anything,” including some new dishes to spark Quivers’ palate.

This new television show, Vegucating Robin, will feature Gavan teaching Quivers how to blend, boil, bake, blanch and blacken tofu, pasta, legumes, vegetables and all these meat, egg, and dairy-free.

For those of us itching for a vegan or vegetarian cooking show, we may have just gotten our wish. Quivers, the co-host to shock jock Howard Stern, has the both the look, personality and celebrity status to make veg mainstream–daytime or prime-time.

In case you missed the recent episode of “Running Russell Simmons,” here’s the clip that was shown where Simmons’ assistant, Simone Reyes, participated in a PETA demonstration against meat earlier this summer.

Reyes, a vegan and animal rights activist, got doused in red body paint and wrapped in Saran Wrap to give a shocking view that meat in grocery stores isn’t that different from human flesh.

Tune in on Tuesdays at 9/8 C on the Oxygen Channel to see more of Reyes.

Olivia Munn‘s reporting on the passing Proposition B, a new law in Missouri which passed with 52% of the “yes” vote that sets down stricter rules for puppy breeders, finds her interviewing one opponent to the new measure who compares it to Obamacare and cites humans are treated the same way as puppies in mills are all the time.

When Munn asks how, the opponent replies that humans are housed in apartments that are stacked just like crates in mills.

But, as Munn insists, most apartments don’t allow your neighbor to sh*t on your head just because he’s housed above you, something puppy mills have failed to accommodate for.

Another hilarious satire from The Daily Show.

Ellen and Portia, one of the most famous celebrity couples, will be hosted by animal rights activist Karen Dawn during her annual Thanksgiving feast in Pacific Palisades.

Already given the luxurious treatment of a hairstyling, spa and relaxing in the lounge, Ellen and Portia, named after DeGeneres and De Rossi, are two turkeys Dawn rescued from an LA slaughterhouse that will eventually live with her at her sanctuary, Gentle Barn.

“Thanksgiving has now become the most fun holiday of the year. And while yes, I do this, in part, to send some serious messages, the main message is simply: how much more fun is turkey day, when the turkeys are alive and well?” said Dawn, in this interview.

Queen guitarist Brian May comforted a cat during its last moments on Earth.

According to The Lancaster Guardian, May was driving when he approached the cat lying in the road. He spent about a half an hour with it, stroking it until it died.

According to one source, about 5.4 million cats are hit by cars a year, which is more than the number euthanized in shelters. Pet owners can completely prevent this tragedy by simply keeping their cats–and dogs–inside. Invest in an invisible fence if your cat is the kind to enjoy fresh air.

Below is a video in which a veterinarian demonstrates ways to protect a cat that has been hit by a vehicle until it can get proper veterinary care. This is important for stabilization reasons–any movement involving the spine could result in fatal damage.The Dr. also discusses common injuries that take place during cat-vehicle collisions. Many cats turn to face the car just before they are hit, resulting in brain trauma and altered mental status.
