Vegetarian Star

Mike Tyson is quite fond of his tiger friend in The Hangover.

In real life, he’s just as enamored with the big cats and he recently said during an interview that he’s owned several of them and curls up with them in bed just like many do with a kitty from the shelter.

Only his kitty comes from a bigger shelter–at least the size of a sanctuary–and Tyson probably has to scoop much bigger things out of the litter box for it.

Below are a few highlights from the interview with Conan O’Brien:

Maggie Q appeared on Conan O’Brien‘s late night TBS talk show where the topic of her pro-vegetarian ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals came up.

Conan didn’t reveal he’s going vegetarian anytime soon, but he did admit he had to consider it because of Maggie’s influence.

“I’m an Irish-Catholic guy who eats way too much meat, but these ads made me want to become vegetarian,” O’Brien said.

University Link Magazine

University Link Magazine‘s April 2010 issue is full of celebrations.

This month marks the publication’s 1st anniversary and they were lucky enough to snag a cover interview with Conan O’Brien, lover of the frozen peas.

Even better, the inside of the magazine contains an ad for peta2 featuring Sean Kingston and his dog Stella with the tagline,”Chill With Your Dogs, Never Chain Them.”

Described as an “edgy, fun socially conscious campus magazine written exclusively for college students by college students,” University Link Magazine has over 25,000 subscribers in 58 universities in Southern California.

With so many values formed during the college years, including going vegetarian and vegan, campus life magazines like ULM are a perfect outlet for spreading the message about animal rights.

Students who wish to combine their passion with a potential career may even opt to take advantage of several animal rights programs being developed at colleges, like the Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship for Animal Rights program at Drury University or the Animal Law program at University of Virginia, both of which received endowments from vegetarian, activist and former “Price Is Right,” host Bob Barker.

Conan O’Brien has recently took to Twitter to express his thoughts, vent his frustrations and introduce the world to one of his latest followers, the backyard squirrel.

One of Conan’s latest statuses has him Tweeting his love of frozen vegetables.

“If I had a show, I’d tweet about which Oscar winner is coming on tonight. Instead, here’s my favorite frozen vegetable: Peas!”

If you’re into peas like Conan, you might be interested in knowing some experts believe vegetables may be better for you frozen versus fresh.

Gene Lester, Ph.D., a plant physiologist at the USDA Agricultural Research Center in Weslaco, Texas, says that vegetables picked for freezing are chosen when they are most ripe, a time when they usually contain the highest amount of nutrients.

Fresh veggies forced to travel from the farm to the grocery shelves may also be subject to factors like light and temperature that affect their ability to retain nutrients.

So, if you’re giving peas a chance, which option do you pick?

The answer may be at your local Farmers Market.

“While it is true that different nutrients react differently to the storing, cooking and blanching processes, there is no conclusion across the board that frozen is better than fresh,” says Karen Kupinski, R.D., director of Nutrition at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn. “The best recommendation is still to consume local produce.”
