Vegetarian Star

Jamie Oliver made an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart where he discussed the decision of the Los Angeles County Unified School District to lock him out of the school system when he requested access to the cafeterias to teach kids to eat healthier for the second season of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.

Stewart joked, “It may be the only reality show not being shot in the L.A. school district.”

Some of Jon Stewart‘s fans are not laughing after seeing a video posted on YouTube of a camel being handled in icy, cold conditions outside the studio. The animal was scheduled to make an appearance for a skit on the show.

The clip shows the camel being stuck between metal bars, slipping and falling on the icy ground and being yanked aggressively by the handler.

Protesters have been swarming the capital of Madison, Wisconsin to protest changes to the state’s budget. Some have compared the protests to the uprising in Egypt. The Daily Show thought it would be funny to prove Wisconsin is nothing like Egypt, using the camel as a prop.

As expected, not many are seeing the humor.

Jon Stewart praised the Senate for passing the Food Safety Modernization Act, which gives the United States government more power to protect citizens from foodborne illnesses. In the past, the government relied on companies to voluntarily recall products. Now, it will have the authority to demand them.

Stewart mocks the skeptics who doubt the need for law, such as Glenn Beck, who Stewart says feels the FDA was created to do things like make sure you get milk instead of rat droppings in the carton.

Unfortunately, Beck isn’t the only naysayer. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma claimed that only 10-20 people die annually from food illnesses (as if that weren’t enough). Ignorance sounds worse when other people hear you and Coburn may have made the biggest fool of himself to end the year.

Olivia Munn‘s reporting on the passing Proposition B, a new law in Missouri which passed with 52% of the “yes” vote that sets down stricter rules for puppy breeders, finds her interviewing one opponent to the new measure who compares it to Obamacare and cites humans are treated the same way as puppies in mills are all the time.

When Munn asks how, the opponent replies that humans are housed in apartments that are stacked just like crates in mills.

But, as Munn insists, most apartments don’t allow your neighbor to sh*t on your head just because he’s housed above you, something puppy mills have failed to accommodate for.

Another hilarious satire from The Daily Show.

Last night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jon called Manhattan’s West side the “sad-eyed carriage horse district.”

Sad it is, as a recent crash involving a horse-drawn carriage and a taxi resulted in the carriage driver being thrown in the street and the horse making a run for it.

Is Jon trying to drop some hints on how he feels about the industry?

Watch Jon’s “Our Dead Planet” segment, a humorous take on environmentalism that indicates the Earth is trying to kill us.

Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska has made some environmentalists and animal rights activists happy, due to her stance on issues such as aerial wolf hunting.

As usual, comedians have chosen to make fun of the situation.

Here’s a clip from a recent The Daily Show with John Stewart making fun of Palin’s resignation speech.

Jon satirizes the following paragraph in Palin’s “good-bye” speech:

“You’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood and here’s how they do it,” Palin said. “They use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes. Stand strong, and remind them patriots will protect our guaranteed, individual right to bear arms, and by the way, Hollywood needs to know, we eat, therefore we hunt.”

Jon mocks Palin using every argument from armed hamsters in the new G Force movie to eating wolf burgers.
