“The devastation inflicted on our environment by factory farms is something we all have the power to stop by doing something as simple as ordering a veggie burger instead of a meat one. Please join me in taking the pledge to go meat free for a day, a month or longer. It’s a lot easier than you think, and let’s be real, all burgers taste the same with ketchup.”

–Jason Schwartzman, who voices a new short film about the effects of factory farms and the environment, What To Eat. Schwartzman is seen below in a 30-second promo for a site where you can learn more about eating better for the environment, platetoplanet.org.

Actor Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Scott Pilgram vs. The World, Bored To Death) has narrated a short film on the effects of the meat industry and the environment.

This isn’t a dry lecture that spits out facts, but an entertaining flick which features a day in the life of a man (Schwartzman) who wakes up one morning with the same question everybody does, “What am I going to eat today?” and starts it off with bacon and eggs.

Suddenly, Schwartzman’s entire day–from driving to work to sitting in the office to shopping for dinner–is filled with messages about the destructive effects of meat and the environment. From reading the morning newspaper to stumbling on a website at work, each encounter Schwartzman has brings him closer to the realization that factory farmed meat is destroying the Earth and causing health issues for humans who don’t even eat it.

Erin McKenna of BabyCakes has perfected the vegan donut.

NY Mag is reporting the eggless, dairyless rings come in several flavors, such as chocolate-glazed, coconut-lemon and cinnamon-sugar.

Sounds delicious!

“Everything has to be not just fine for vegans or gluten-free but, you know … worth it, worth eating and really delicious,” McKenna, the owner of the bakery frequented by many vegetarian celebrities, said.

Will BabyCakes new donuts be worth every penny to the last crumb?

Jason Schwartzman or Zooey Deschanel will have to hold a vegan eating contest and find out.

Did you hear the rumor that Ted Danson was a vegan?

It’s absolutely NOT true.

“Oh yeah, no, I’m an actor,” Danson told GQ magazine. “Which means one week I’m vegan, the next I don’t know.”

He emphasized his reluctance to be vegetarian even more during the interview when he jokingly said he would order the California condor or gorilla, deciding on scallops in the end.

No, not even sharing the Bored To Death set with vegan Jason Schwartzman has pulled Danson to the veg side yet.

Danson does consider himself an environmentalist and narrates End of the Line, a film about the depletion of fish.

Scott Pilgrim

As reported earlier, the movie adaptation to the Scott Pilgrim comic book series, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is set for release this year and Universal Pictures has released a few photos from the film.

In both the books and the film, Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera falls in love with a girl only to discover he has to fight off all her seven ex boyfriends.

One of those exes, Todd Ingram, boasts graduating at the top of his class from the Vegan Academy while disparaging non-vegans, saying they use only 10% of their brains while the rest is filled with “curds and whey.”

However, it’s later learned that Todd may not use his brain as much as he claims, as his cheats with dairy.

Take a look at the photo of a real vegan, Jason Schwartzman, who plays Gideon Graves in the movie.

We’ve heard before the Bored To Death star Jason Schwartzman loves Erin McKenna‘s NYC bakery, Babycakes.

Tribecafilm.com recently spoke with Schwartzman who confirmed BabyCakes was still his baby, along with some other New York hot spots.

“Oh, my God! Well, Babycakes is heaven on earth, shall we say? I love the cupcakes and the food and the cookies and, in fact, Babycakes always sends me cookies when it’s the Super Bowl for my guests and stuff, but what I also love about Babycakes is their M.O., like the way Erin McKenna (who owns it) did it—she had a dream and made it come true. It’s really inspiring.”

“So besides Babycakes, my other favorite places are—you know the store Opening Ceremony? What I like about Opening Ceremony is, I don’t particularly look great in all those clothes, but it’s nice because it’s a place where it’s kind of going to like an art house movie theater, where you can just see lots of different movies and see what lots of people are up to and what they’re thinking… I mean, they have very wearable clothes, but they have extremes of all different kinds of things—things that are very forward and very beautiful and great designers that you wouldn’t see in other places. So what I like about it is just going through there and flipping through the clothes and saying, Wow, so this person had this idea to take this color, put it with that color, and stitch it like that…”

“Film Forum is another place, and I like the place teany [a vegan restaurant and tea shop co-owned by Moby, currently closed because of a fire]…. I’d say Babycakes, Opening Ceremony, Other Music, and I like Southside Guitars and Rivington Guitars.”

Jason Schwartzman considers himself an environmentalist, but insists he’s still in awe of Ted Danson‘s eco magic.

“I have solar panels on my house for my pool and I’m a very adamant recycler. I have a Prius. I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time. But I’m not Ted,” Jason told mnn.com about his Bored To Death co-star.

Jason took lessons from Ted about ocean conservation.

“Every little bit helps,” he added.

Jason should give himself more credit just for following the veg life.

According to a UN report, it takes 8,449 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef versus 60 gallons of water required to produce a pound of potatoes, or 108 or 168 gallons of water needed to produce a pound of wheat or corn.

Jason’s helping to save the planet every time he opens his mouth to take a bite!
