Vegetarian Star

How does Treehugger.com‘s founder do his part to help the environment even though he’s not a full time vegan? He simply eats a vegetarian diet for the majority of the week.

This “Weekday Vegetarian” plan was first discussed at a TED conference in February 2010 and now Graham Hill has written a book on it and published it exclusively to Amazon Kindle.

Those of you who follow the religious sect known as treehugger.com know Graham Hill is the smart, environment lovin’ chap who founded the website for all the latest green news and information.

Although Graham isn’t a complete vegetarian, he flexes and calls himself a “weekday vegetarian,”-saving the bacon for Sunday brunch.

Eating vegetarian at least during the week is just one of the ways Graham recommends going greener.

He also shops at his local farmers’ market and buys organic produce.

And don’t worry, you big city dwellers, who think because you’re living the fast paced life, you’re being too rough on the planet.

Graham thinks cities are greener because more people use public transportation or bike and apartments are smaller, so there’s less room to fill up with useless junk. Plus, there’s a plethora of organic shops to frequent on every corner.

“You can find some weird vegan bakery, if you want to,” Hill said.

Before you run off to locate that vegan bakery with weirdos, read the rest of Graham’s feature story at the observer.com.

If you haven’t heard already, Oprah Winfrey has both shocked and angered animal rights activists across the nation by teaming up with Kentucky Fried Chicken to offer free chicken dinners to every home in America.

KFC is on the “naughty” and not “nice” list with organizations like PETA, due to the way the chickens it uses are treated.

Now, we can add one more sin Oprah is contributing to now that she’s signed a pact with the Colonel devil: swine flu.

Jane Velez-Mitchell and Dr. Gregor of the HSUS said it best: the conditions in factory farms like the ones KFC chickens are kept in are the hub for breeding diseases.

Brian Merchant at Treehugger.com has this to say on the matter:

“I was dismayed to hear that Oprah was helping to push KFC’s free chicken promotion. Wasn’t quite sure why, initially—after all, ‘free food for everyone’ is generally a pretty positive notion. But then I recalled that KFC buys its chicken from Tyson—one of the US’s biggest factory farmers and perpetrator of shady health practices. And then I remembered that Oprah herself did an expose on the cruelty of factory farms , essentially condemning them. And then I realized that the ploy couldn’t have come at a worse time: US factory farms have been confirmed to have played a role in the origin of swine flu.”

“The point isn’t that Oprah screwed up–it’s that we should all be more aware of the practices that lead to the food on our table (or in the takeout window).”
