Dennis Kucinich Settles Over Olive Pit Induced Tooth Injury

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 28th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Politicians.

Dennis Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich and his people have reached a confidential settlement in the matter of damages sustained after he bit into an olive containing a pit during a visit to the House of Representatives cafeteria for a sandwich.

After reading more about the chain reaction the event set off, it’s easy to see why the vegan politician asked for $150,000 for the incident.

After biting into the olive, Kucinich experienced a split at the bone level of the tooth. The damage wasn’t visible but downright painful! The injured area became infected so he took antibiotics. The antibiotics gave him an intestinal obstruction which required emergency attention. After the bone healed, his first tooth implant failed. Months later, the second implant worked, but he had to have six other teeth realigned in order to make that happen. None of this was covered by insurance.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 28th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Recipes, Videos.

The portabello mushroom is the vegetarian man’s (and woman’s meat). Even a carnivore can’t resist a thick cap grilled to perfection and topped with onions, tomatoes, peppers and other veggies while simultaneously wedged between a warm loaf like focaccia.

Robin Quivers from “The Howard Stern Show” continues her journey in learning to cook new vegan dishes on her web-based show, “Vegucating Robin,” by stuffing portabello with herbed quinoa.

Yum!

She and co-host Gavan Murphy have nicknamed this the vegan meat of vegans.

Hal Sparks Thinks Factory Farming Is No Joke (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 27th, 2011 in Actors, Animal Issues, Comedians, Farming, Food & Drink, Videos.

Hal SparksHal Sparks thinks factory farming is no joke.

During one of his comedic performances, Sparks made humor of poor diets consisting of too many animal products. But in an interview he reveals the effects of raising animals for food is no laughing matter.

“The biggest issue for me is factory farming,” Sparks. “Because I can’t find an angle on it–and I dare anyone else to–that actually supports it in any way. It doesn’t make food cheaper and safer. It doesn’t make the environment better. It harms the people who consume it as well as the people who process it. And it’s horrible to the animals.”

What’s Sparks’ advice for the dying individual who wishes he’d had more time to spend with the family? Watch the clip below to find out.

“Sure, you could be an honest person who tells lies all the time but I don’t think we need to get into whether such a thing disqualifies you or not but what we can say is this: We know it is indisputably the number one cause of global warming. So what does it mean exactly to be an environmentalist on a daily basis if you are not thinking about the number one cause of global warming or one of the top two or three causes of all other environmental problems?”
