Vegetarian Star

Morrissey has a way with words when it comes to expressing his opinions, whether it’d be telling someone to vivisection themselves or proclaiming he’d rather eat his own genitals than work with certain people creatively.

Now he’s got some words for Britain’s famed celebrity chef and Food Network fave boy Jamie Oliver.

When asked recently by Maxim Magazine, ‘Who in your life would you most liked to “kick in the eye”?’, he replied, “That meat-fed horror Jamie “Orrible” Oliver. If he’s a master chef, then I’m Miss Brazil 1970.”

Should Oliver take off his chef hat or should Morrissey start wearing a crown?

Yes, Oliver is a meat eater, but he’s attempting to make humane progress, starting by trying to raise awareness of conditions on animal farms.

But Morrissey’s one strict cookie. We don’t think he’ll be entering the swimsuit and talent competition any time soon.

Oliver shouldn’t feel bad. It’s not just meat eaters Morrissey loathes as he also mentioned, “It will be worth being dead just to get away from Victoria Beckham.”

The UK show Jamie Saves Our Bacon featuring celebrity chef Jamie Oliver may have a man behind the wheel, but there’s a female giving some directions as well.

Actress Joanna Lumley (The New Avengers, Sapphire and Steel), both vegetarian and animal lover, will be demonstrating what pigs who are crated endure by joining students who will live in the farrowing crates for 24 hours.

Farrowing crates are the narrow cages pigs are kept in while giving birth and feeding their litters.

“The conditions they face are both physically and psychologically harrowing,” the actress told the Times Online.

The program is meant to educate on how pigs are treated on farms and to let consumers know where their food is coming from. While some have argued that it doesn’t solve the problem of animal abuse because it’s not advocating vegetarianism, it’s at least trying to incite the creation of more humane standards for the animals, which is a step forward.

“Jamie Saves Our Bacon” will be showing on UK Channel 4.

British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver made waves in the UK recently for criticizing the quality of foods in his native land from school lunches to the dinner table. Now he wants everyone to understand the conditions pigs endure before they arrive on their plate.

Oliver and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) are calling upon the European Union to set minimum welfare standards for pig farmers and demand more honest labeling of foods that indicate how the pigs were reared. Unlike free-range chicken, there is currently no definition of free range pork.

Throughout the month of January, Oliver will be uncovering investigations revealing how pigs are treated on some farms in the UK, which includes undesirable practices such as castrating pigs without anaesthetic and preventing pregnant animals from moving.

The RSPCA hopes the program, titled “Jamie Saves Our Bacon,” will incite people to start buying pork reared in more ethical environments, such as a similar program by chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall did to increase the sales of chickens reared with higher welfare standards.

Hopefully, Oliver’s attention to the matter will produce a U.S. Prop 2-like overhaul in the UK.

What can Russell Brand do for Britain? Reduce obesity rates? Encourage more physical activity? Have naked ladies wearing only lettuce cups go door to door reminding you to eat your veggies?

These are just a few of some possible campaign pointers he should mention in case he decides to run for Food Minister.

Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has expressed concerns over Britain’s rising health problems and says the country is in need of a Food Minister to help stop and reduce what he calls the “obesity horror show.”

But this horror show doesn’t involve Rocky coming to life. And ooh, girlfriend, those Transylvanians have gotten fa-aat!

Peta UK has jumped on the chance to remind everyone that a vegetarian diet can help you lose weight and is better for the planet and has created its own ballad for vegetarian celebrities that would be perfect for the Food Minister position, including shock jock Brand.

Other celebs on the list include Paul McCartney, Joanna Lumley, Morrissey, Russell Brand, Benjamin Zephaniah, Leona Lewis, Jenny Seagrove, Alexa Chung, Jodie Marsh, Martin Shaw, and Thom Yorke.

Whether you live in the UK or not, you can participate in the decision by going to Fish and Chips and leaving a comment as to who you think should take the helm.

The “obesity horror show” can change. Let’s do the time warp again…but with a vegan Frank. N. Furter.
