Vegetarian Star

Propagandhi on Myspace

Propagandhi has always been an outspoken band on various political issues, including vegetarianism.

All of its members are vegan and their latest album, Supporting Caste, features a song, “Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz),” which mocks the idea of animals being treated kindly during rearing, only to be slaughtered for food eventually.

“Humane (e) Meat” features cooking up foodie and author Sandor Katz, who evidentally the band isn’t too fond of. 

Going to Katz’s website and searching “meat” you get the result, “meat.org” with the words “meat industry, wish vegetarians didn’t own.” The meat.org site is PETA’s site displaying what goes on in factory farms.

“That’s someone cutting bread and some fake screaming over it, for a laugh,” says Kowalski  [in regards to “Humane (e) Meat.”]. “[Sandor Katz] wrote a book and [Propagandhi co-founder Chris Hannah] read it. It makes light of the idea of humanely killing animals, and so we kind of just removed the animal, put him in place for satirical reasons, just to show that clearly this isn’t humane.”

Some sample lyrics from “Humane (e) Meat”:

I swear I did my best to ensure that
His final moments were swift and free from fear
But consideration should be made for the fact
That Sandor Katz was my first kill

Every single hair from his body
Gently placed his decapitated head in a stock pot
Boiled off his flesh and made a spreadable head cheese

Because I believe that one can only relate with
Another living creature by completely destroying it
I’m sure Sandor’s friends and family would appreciate this

“It’s funny when you get diagnosed with cancer and you’re a raw food vegan — for 10 years! You think they’re lying to you, or they got your chart mixed up. You’re like, ‘Get out of here!’ You’re not shocked. It’s not like you’re devastated. You don’t buckle. I didn’t. I know people who did. I was just really surprised. I thought someone was playing a bit of a practical joke on me because I’m a joker.”

—-Juno Award winning, Canadian singer-songwriter Bif Naked, who has been undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer. But don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s been bedridden. Her 6th studio album, The Promise, is set to be released in May.

If you live in the US, traveling to some other countries can be a pain when it comes to finding good vegetarian food.

But, hey, who are the Americans to brag? There are still some places in the States where if you say, “Tofu,” they think you’re hurling an insult at them.

Singer-songwriter and musician Missy Higgins keeps her veganism while on tour, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to do, as she explained in the Minneapolis StarTribune.

Although the Australian born lady thinks the best thing about the US are its open minded people, one of the worst things is finding food in smaller towns.

“Their idea of vegetarian is fried chicken,” she said.

Poor thing!

So what’cha what’cha what’cha want? Some raw vegan food!

When Mike Diamond, aka Mike D of hip hop group, the Beastie Boys, wanted delicious raw food prepared for him, he called on his personal chef Aaron Ash.

Aaron thought that if celebrities like members of the Beastie Boys liked vegan, raw foods so much, surely regular people would too. So he opened Gorilla Foods, a raw food/vegan/organic cafe in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some in the US often joke about “moving to Canada” for various reasons, including the healthcare system, but hey, here’s reason #1 in our opinion.

The menu consists of vegan pizza with walnut “cheez,” Cashew Alfredo Zucchini Linguini with zucchini “Newdles” and cashew cream, and a vegan dessert menu that’s longer than the salad one. Finally!

And everything’s done without a stove top or oven.

A reviewer from the Vancouver Sun had this to say about the experience:

“When I had lunch there on a recent Saturday, I left feeling like I’d just had a refreshing shower. Raw food does that. When you think of it, it’s like salad tricked out in costume. The menu masquerades in straight-ahead offerings – pizzas, veggie burger, falafal, taco, linguini, wraps, salads, an assortment of desserts including carrot cake and cookies, juices, smoothies and shakes.”

When actor and raw foodie Woodie Harrelson is in town, Ash caters for him as well.

Yeah, you can’t front on that!

Oh yeah! We’re going down under this week.

Missy Higgins is the queen of green, and has spoken out about the importance of being environmentally friendly. She’s even greened her tours!

Sophie Monk stirred quite some controversy last year when she was photographed carrying bags of KFC goodies to her car. She later said she was just buying some food for a homeless man.

So between the two Australian hotties, who would you rather do…

Andy Hurley recently showed off his home on MTV Cribs and opened his fridge to show the world a plethora of vegan goodies, what he described as, “Everything a real American needs to eat.”

Wow. Vegan and patriotic. 

So what does this real American Fall Out Boy eat? Silk soy yogurt, Tofutti Cutie Ice Cream Snacks, Amy’s Frozen meals, Earth Balance Vegan Butter, Health is Wealth Vegan Chicken Nuggets, and Vegenaise were just a few of the items the camera caught.

Other veg stars have opened their kitchen to MTV Cribs, including Russell Simmons.

Watch the video and play a “Where’s Waldo” kind of game to count how many vegan items the camera caught in Andy’s fridge. Then tell us how many you found!

If you want to know how Erykah Badu got her vegan self on track to the best health, look no further than the cookbook written by her ex nutritionist, Afya Ibomu.

Afya worked with Badu in 2003, and now the lovely lady is a celebrity herself, with her recently published cookbook, The Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy.

It’s filled with all things soul food-sweet potato pie, buffalo wings, corn bread, collard greens, hearty cookies-veganized.

Afya’s mom switched her to a vegan diet as a child after she had so many illness like asthma and irritable bowel syndrome that weren’t responding to traditional medicines. An allergist suggested Afya’s diet might be contributing to her ailments, and the KRS-One song, “Beef,” also played a role in mom putting her foot down and saying, “No more meat Afya.”

Afya  is the CEO of her holistic lifestyle company, Nattral Unlimited, LLC at www.NATTRAL.com. She lives with her husband, stic.man of the Dead Prez hip hop group, with their son, Itwela.

Girlie Girl and her army has one of Afya’s recipes, buffalo tofu wings, posted on her blog.

You can order a copy of the Vegan Soulfood Guide, which comes with a free DVD, “Pimp My Tofu,” at www.NATTRAL.com.
