Vegetarian Star

If you didn’t give a roasted seitan about what celebrities do, you probably wouldn’t be reading this post.

The organizers of Climate Week realize that if people like Gwyneth Paltrow put up a story about composting poop on Goop, a trend will soon follow. That’s why they commissioned Millward Brown, a brand research consultancy, to use its “Cebra” (celebrity-brand) index to survey people to see which celebrities carry the greatest influence in inciting fans to act on saving the environment.

“We are often told that we are living in the “age of celebrity”. Yes, it’s an utterly depressing thought, but some believe we should exploit this collective obsession by putting to good use the mighty influence many celebrities wield,” writes The Guardian. “The reason is simple: many people – whether they admit it or not – look up to celebrities.”

And it may be even more utterly depressing to think of “scientific survey” and “celebrity” used in the same sentence, but let’s take a look at what Millward Brown did and found.

“There are a few unreleased reports showing that animal production is responsible for 25 per cent of all climate change.”

“Climate change is already happening. The question is how severe will the consequences be and how prepared we are for them.”

Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke is set to play a live version of the song Reckoner at an undisclosed location on September 21 after the screenings of Age of Stupid take place.

Age of Stupid is a climate change awareness film where a man wakes up in the year 2055 and wonders why the heck no one did anything about climate changes years ago.

Cause it’s like, really, really bad then.

Thom knows not eating meat is a great way to combat climate change, even though when he originally became vegetarian, he just wanted to look cool for some chick, according to animalaid.org.

“A list of things I guess… first thing was Meat is Murder [a song by legendary band The Smiths]. The second thing was getting sick all the time every time I ate meat – getting sick a lot… and the third thing was I started going out with this girl and I wanted to impress her so I pretended I’d been vegetarian all along… and I immediately felt a lot better, a lot healthier. I was concerned, as many people are, about that ‘you’re not going to get all the things you need in your diet, you’re going to get sick all the time’, but the exact opposite happened to me, so I never looked back. It was never a problem straight off.”

Ah, men.

See the power you have, veg ladies?
