Vegetarian Star

You’ve heard what’s on Gene Baur‘s and Farm Sanctuary’s agenda for this month in the realm of animal rights.

Now, the Los Angeles Times talks to Ingrid Newkirk to see what PETA’s plans are in their May in Animal News feature.

Since you’re already a veggie or at least reducing your meat intake, you won’t have to worry about the dancer rubber stopping you on the street with a vegetarian starter kit.

We don’t think there will be vegan, edible condoms in the kit either. Sorry.

When asked what PETA would be up to in June, Newkirk replied:

“A million projects, from promoting spaying and neutering through demonstrations featuring dancing condoms to distributing our free vegetarian/vegan starter kits. But we’ll also definitely be working hard to curb attendance at SeaWorld and at [Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s] shows. Indeed, we’ll continue to expose Ringling by circulating video footage of elephants being routinely beaten as well as photos of the cruel methods that Ringling uses to train baby elephants.”

Moby is so into tacos and kale, he would eat the combination as his last meal on death row. In a week’s time, he made his way across the U.S. to enjoy tacos on both the east and west coast. The vegan musician shares his food adventures in Grub Street New York‘s regular feature where notables divulge every detail of what they’ve eaten in the past week.

New York city drew him to Caravan of Dreams for their seitan tacos. “They have these seitan taquitos, which are tiny little mini-tacos with seitan, pineapple, guacamole, and salsa,” Moby said. “They’re spectacular. It comes with a side of sautéed kale and garlic.”

By the middle of the week, he made his way to Real Food Daily in California to enjoy “Taco the Town,” another seitan based taco dish with black beans, spanish rice, guacamole and pico de gallo.

The Los Angeles Times has featured five questions with Farm Sanctuary’s co-founder and president Gene Baur on the organization’s goals and his personal motivation for the work he does to protect animals.

Baur says June, like any month, will be a busy one at Farm Sanctuary, as he and other representatives will continue their work with the case against the Ohio dairy worker charged with 12 counts of animal abuse to cows as well as talking to officials in Washington about the state of school food.

“Farm Sanctuary will remain involved with the Conklin dairy case and initiative in Ohio, and our farm visitor programs will continue. We’ll also be reaching out to officials in Washington, D.C., and urging them to support policies to prevent animal cruelty and promote a healthier, plant-based food production system. Among the federal legislation we are supporting is the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (H.R. 4733) and the Healthy School Meals Act (H.R. 4870).”

Martha Stewart recently featured Himala Salt from Sustainable Sourcing on The Martha Stewart Show, where she commended the Himalayan salt and organic peppercorns from the company.

The salt, available in fine grain, coarse grain, chunks, cubes, bricks and special gift packaging, has no added Iodine to it, but naturally trace amounts are preserved.

Sustainable Sourcing packages in eco friendly materials that are either 100% recyclable, refillable and reusable. In addition, 5% of profits go to environment organizations.

Lindsay Lohan has been rumored to be swapping alcohol for Kombucha tea since being slapped on the wrist, literally, with a SCRAM bracelet, a device that monitors her alcohol consumption, after a probation hearing about her 2nd DUI conviction.

When the words healthy and organic are slapped onto something a celebrity is consuming, the instinct is to instantly pick it up and pseudo experiment on yourself to see if it works. However, according to a Dr. on the Mayo Clinic’s website, you may be better off consuming heart healthy wine in moderation when you’re not driving than drinking Kombucha tea.

Mezzetta brand of specialty foods is holding a contest to create the best sandwich using Mezzetta’s signature peppers, olives and other products. Interested sandwich masters can enter their recipe online, making sure to indicate which Mezzetta product is used in it, for a grand prize of $25,000.

Several celebrity chefs are entering their sandwiches too, which you may vote on, to raise money for their favorite charities. There are several deliciously sounding vegetarian options included. For example, you may remember Lisa Adams, who created the vegetarian meal to honor Lisa Simpson on Top Chef Masters. She’s concocted a sesame eggplant in pita with peppers, walnuts and feta.

Jack Johnson calls himself a flexitarian because he will eat whatever is offered to him outside of home.

When in his own kitchen, however, Jack stays veggie and is fond of a traditional Hawaiian meal that’s wrapped in tea leaves.

From an article in the National Post titled What Is On Jack Johnson’s Menu:

“The thing I like to make, that I usually add to it is Lau Laus, which are a traditional luau meal, where you wrap something in a tea leaf. The traditional way is you do it underground in an imu which is the underground Hawaiian oven. We just use our oven usually for this, but you wrap it in a tea leaf. We do vegetarian ones – you can use fish – but I grow sweet potatoes and taro, or kalo, the Hawaiian word for it. Cut it all up and steam it inside the tea leaf. I like making that, and I grow carrots and onions, chop them all up and put them inside. It’s really good.”

Lauluas also traditionally use pork, so they make a great opportunity to experiment with faux  meats during the next Hawaiian party in your Texas backyard event.

Christopher Drummond Organic Lip Gloss

Christopher Drummond is a celebrity makeup artist who’s prettied the faces of people like Jennifer Lopez and Kimora Lee Simmons. His line of lipsticks, concealor and other cosmetics (including a set for men) are free of known toxic ingredients, not tested on animals and vegan. He even opted not to use animal hair in makeup brushes, stating, “a lot of women are allergic to animal hair brushes. They think it’s the makeup, but it’s the brush.”

Thank goodness for Drummond’s natural approach, because a non-toxic lipstick may be hard to find as an FDA study found lead, a neurotoxin, on 22 very popular brands of lip colors.
