Vegetarian Star

Ellen DeGeneres is the official spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s 2010 Adopt-A-Turkey Project. For a one time donation of $30, anyone can sponsor a turkey at Farm Sanctuary’s New York of California shelter, receive an adoption certificate, a full color photo and information about their new family member.

“Save a life this Thanksgiving, and join me in starting a new tradition by adopting a turkey instead of eating one through Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project,” DeGeneres said.

Some of this year’s adoptable turkeys include Velma, Daphne, Kima, Harley, Reese and Jordan.

The sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project has rescued over 1,000 turkeys since its inception in 1986, placing them in loving homes through the Turkey Express Adoption event, while educating consumers on the plight of the birds in crowded factory farms and slaughterhouses.

“I’ve never felt better in my life, ever. In terms of consciousness, what benefits our body and benefits animal welfare also benefits the planet. It’s all connected.”

—Maggie Q, actress in the CW series “Nikita,” who’s using her spotlight as a headliner in a major TV show to discuss her passion for the vegetarian lifestyle and animal rights. Maggie appeared in a PETA Asia-Pacific ad lying over a bed of red peppers with the tagline, “Spice  Up Your Life.” She has also mentioned she enjoys being an inspiration to Asian-American performers, saying she feels future stars will look at her and say, “When I get there, it’s going to be easier for me.'”

Lea Michele‘s cast mate on Glee, Chris Colfer, joked about putting meat in one of her vegetarian dishes. Totally NOT funny, but the joke is on him and the rest of the cast because Michele once secretly gave the guys (and gals) on the set some cupcakes without telling them they were animal-free.

“I had vegan cupcakes on my birthday,” Michele said at PETA’s 30th Anniversary Gala. “Once you eat a vegan cupcake–I once put out vegan cupcakes for the whole crew and didn’t tell them that they were vegan. And they were like, those are the best cupcakes I ever had. And then the next day I was like ‘They were vegan. See, you can eat vegan food.'”

In response to criticism from animal rights activists for wearing a meat bikini and meat dress, Lady Gaga has threatened to wear tofu to make the vegetarians mad. Or so she thinks it will.

During a performance in Philadelphia, Gaga said, “What’s everyone’s big problem with my meat dress?”

“Haven’t they seen me wear leather? Next time, I’ll wear a tofu dress and the soy milk police will come after me.”

Actually the soy milk police will probably give Gaga a key to the city if she wears soy clothing, given the fact it’s cruelty-free and eco-friendly.

Like other successful tech companies, Facebook provides its employees with deliciously good food perks. Josef Desimone, a former chef at Google, leads the food operations and says because he makes people so happy at work, he’s like “Santa Claus with knives.”

That sounds creepy, but after learning about the vegetarian, vegan and sustainable choices Mark Zuckerberg‘s subordinates get for free (yes, that’s three meals a day), we’ve come to the conclusion that knife-wielding Santa gives good little vegs all they ask for year round.

Employees may start the day with vegan breakfast waffles.
