“Regarding people, it’s all about transition. Just like any technology or product that is replaced by a better or newer one, there is always a transition that happens. The old (animal products) company would gradually let people go as the demand for their products decreases, while the new (vegan products/plant-based foods) company would gradually hire more folks as their demand increases. Of course, sometimes it’s messy, and there’s a disproportionate amount of firings to hirings. But this transition will NOT happen overnight. So I think we would see a gradual shift as described here.”

“Regarding animals, there are two main points to remember; the only reason we have the 15+ billion farm animals going through the system each year is because humans have gone to tremendous extremes to unnaturally breed these animals. So, again, as the demand lessens, so will their extreme “quotas” of reproduction.”

“Also, the overwhelming majority of these billions are chickens, and if a chicken has been raised as a “broiler” for food, then their life span would typically be only one year, presuming they were spared a trip to the slaughterhouse in this transition scenario. But truthfully, I think the transition will be gradual enough that they will cut back on the rate of breeding long before they would have all of these farm animals just hanging around somewhere.”

—-drummer Bobby Rock from his blog, on the fate of people and animals if the world turned vegan.

Rob Zombie “El Superbeasto” Daniel Roebuck Portrayal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, September 26th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV.

Premiere Of Dimension Films' "Halloween II" - Arrivals

Actor Daniel Roebuck has worked with Rob Zombie in several movies, including Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Halloween 2 and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

In El Superbeasto, Daniel was a little surprised to see his voiced lent animated character from Devil’s Rejects, TV talk show host Morris Green, was a little portlier than he thought.

”The first time Rob showed it to me I said, ‘Could I be any fatter?’ My perception of myself is that I’m just a tall guy,” says Roebuck with a laugh. ”But Rob Zombie, this skinny vegetarian, sees me as a big-faced, fat behemoth.”

Ah, don’t feel bad Daniel.

Maybe a little less meat in your diet would take off that 10 pounds the camera-even if animated-puts on.

Vegetarians do tend to be 10-20 pounds lighter than meat eaters.

And even if it doesn’t, you’ll feel healthier anyway.

Porky’s menu features…uh, let the name speak for itself, along with burgers and other meaty items.

Our imaginations can only wander as we think of what might take place during the veg revolution.

Nobody premiers October 2.

2009 VH1 Divas

When Leona Lewis refused to open a sale at Harrods Department store because it sold fur, many applauded her decision to stand by her beliefs.

But not everybody thought it was best decision to turn down over a million dollars, even if it came from a store which stocked those products.

“I am outspoken, especially if it’s to do with animal welfare,” Leona told Scotland’s The Big Issue.

“I got a lot of flak for the Harrods decision. There were people who said I should have done it and given the money to charity, but that would have been such a contradiction because doing it on one hand to give on the other is not helping anything.”

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, comes out on November 17.

Pamela Anderson Signs Copies Of "Baywatch" DVD Seasons 1 & 2

Pamela Anderson‘s debut of A*Muse has come to an end at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

When a reporter asked her if she’d always be remembered as CJ running on the beach in a red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela answered she’d rather be remembered for her work with vegetarianism and animal rights.

Of course, wearing a red G-string while introducing your eco conscious fashion helps to make a lasting impression.
