Vegetarian Star

Vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier is giving everyone the full lecture on plant based protein and building muscle at Kris Carr‘s website Crazysexylife.com.

Plant protein is great, Brendan insists, because it doesn’t increase the inflammation in the muscle as much as animal protein does after a workout, allowing you to recover faster and lift more weights.

“In place of isolates and acid-forming animal foods, there are host of plant-based options that will ensure inflammation be kept to a minimum. Post workout, excellent plant-based protein sources include: hemp, pea, and rice protein. And while protein is a crucial component for muscle repair and building, so too are essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants and a host of other nutritional components that can be found in a variety of plant-based whole foods. This being the case, the post workout smoothies will deliver greater results if it contains these components, not merely protein.”

With a name like Cattle Decapitation, you’d think impaling pig heads on stage was more their type of publicity stunt.

But the band is actually outspoken about mistreatment of animals and the environment, and were quite shocked (and not for good reasons) when the band Burning of Rome used impaled pig heads as their stage prop at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards.

Travis Ryan, lead singer with Cattle Decapitation had this to say:

“It’s kind of cheesy. So many bands have done that. It didn’t seem to mesh with what they were doing onstage. After their set, they pulled the heads off of the mike stands and showed them to everybody in the crowd as if to say, ‘Hey, look at me.’ ”

“Pigs are smarter than dogs. I find it deplorable to do anything to support the meat industry. This was so silly. [Pig heads onstage] has been done before.”

No kidding, Travis. Ozzy Osbourne nightmares flashbacks anyone?

Really, some people should be required to take puppy parenting classes when adopting.

British reality star Kerry Katona took her brown puppy dog back to the shop because she reportedly didn’t like the color of its fur, according to Now magazine.

Katona traded it for a black and white version of the same breed.

But wait, Katona’s had puppy commitments in the past.

During her MTV reality TV show What’s the Problem, Kerry also evicted her bulldog because it relieved itself on the floor.

Dogs require patience, persistence, and most importantly research prior to getting one to determine if its personality will click with your lifestyle.

Don’t get us started on that chihuahua fad that most likely sent hundred of dogs back to the shelter or worse, kennel, when unsuspecting owners weren’t as thrilled when their dog didn’t appear as cute because it never asked for Mexican in Spanish.

Get more information on choosing the right dog from the Humane Society of the United States website.

A new film that tackles the issue of America’s dependency on foreign oil, Fuel, is screening in theatres across the country.

During the film, director Josh Tickell, rides across the nation in a vegetable oil powered van interviewing politicians, celebrity activists, and academics on a variety of alternative energy issues.

Know who else rides around in a veggie oil powered set of wheels?

Fred Mascherino, ex guitarist for Taking Back Sunday and creator of musical project, The Color Fred.

We bet Fred keeps his pants on while driving though.

Audrey Kitching was recently making some tacos sin carne in her kitchen.

“Making home made vegan tacos and doing laundry in my gold glitter stilettos! I can not wait to see the September Issue when I get home!”

Given the fact that Audrey’s vegan, she might  have loved The September Issue fashion but probably doesn’t have a taste for Anna Wintour‘s fur fetish.

At any rate, for the hearty taco filling minus the fat, animal flesh, and cruelty, may we suggest Lightlife Smart Ground Taco and Burrito Variety.

It’s fat-free, certified vegan, with a combination of soy and wheat gluten to give 9 grams of protein per 70 calorie serving.

Grab some at your next shopping trip, along with your gold cooking stilettos.

Jake Gyllenhaal is in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania filming Love And Other Drugs and lots of Jake sightings have been made by fans, with a few vegetarian rumors floating around here and there.

Jake entered the Make Your Mark Artspace and Coffee House, but they weren’t technically open for lunch yet.

“It was right before lunch, and we weren’t ready yet,” said Ms. Siebert, who runs Make Your Mark with husband Hemi Braunstein.

Unfortunately, her silly husband didn’t know he was supposed to make a vegetarian lunch on the spot for the superstar.

“My husband doesn’t know a superstar from the next guy. If someone else had been behind the counter, we would have opened up the kitchen,” Siebert said.

“We hope he comes back. I’ve heard he is a vegetarian and eats kind of healthy, and that’s what we’re all about,” she added.

You can grab a vegetarian entree at Make Your Mark during lunch hours, regardless of your celebrity status.

In a letter from the Brigitte Bardot foundation, France president Nicolas Sarkozy has been asked to implement a meat-free day in the country, starting with all public establishments, and encouraging the private sector to do so as well.

“Other than environmental and humane concerns, the refusal of meat consumption is also the best way to protest against the inhumanity and cruelty in factory farms, during transport and during the slaughter of billions of animals that are sacrificed and eaten each year,” the foundation wrote.

“There is already a ‘day ago without car’, a ‘day without tobacco’, but the initiation of a vegetarian day would have a much greater impact than all ‘carbon’ taxes put together, and the planet would be in infinitely better shape (which would be even still better if that vegetarian initiative would be valid for 365 days per year”).

Bardot’s request comes just after the Climate summit in New York and ahead of the Carbon Tax launch on fuels in France.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations states in their report “Livestock a major threat to environment,” that the livestock sector produces more gases than all of the transportation industry combined.

Propagandhi makes it no secret they disagree with the concept of “humanely raised meat” as is evident through their song about roasting Sandor Katz.

Band member Chris Hannah explains what he meant about his statement that, “we do encourage people to slaughter and devour organically-fed human corpses.”

“Obviously it’s tongue in cheek,” Chris says. “People are spreading the idea around that there’s a humane way of confining, terrorizing, mutilating, killing and eating non-human animals.”

“I don’t think that’s a very good rationalization-to tend to call things Happy Meat or Humane Meat. I think it’s dishonest.”

Whew! Glad Chris wasn’t serious about cheering on cannibalism.

Watch the clip for more from the interview.
