Vegetarian Star

Pamela Anderson won’t be shaking her vegetarian hips to the Salsa anymore on Dancing with the Stars.

The actress and animal rights campaigner was voted off last night, after she and partner Damien Whitewood found themselves in the bottom two for the third time in a row.

Bummer!

Pamela highlighted the very important issue of bullfighting during one of her dances earlier in the season. Contestants were asked to tell a story through their dance and Pamela’s depicted a woman torn because she was in love with a matador even though she disagreed with him killing animals.

Pamela described bullfighting as a “dance with the devil.”

As for her future plans now that she’s put away her heels and DWTS sexy outfits, Pamela told UK Ok!, “I’m doing a lot of things. I’ve got my clothing line; I’ve got my fragrance, my body care, hair care, all this organic crazy stuff I’m doing. But performance wise, I don’t know what I’m doing to do next.”

Stefanie Powers, the actress who starred in the 70s and 80s television series Hart to Hart, went on to become the director of the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and Game Ranch in Africa and president of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation.

Powers, who can be seen in the Hallmark Channel’s “Meet My Mom” this Saturday at 9PM, had friends who bred bulls in Mexico for bullfighting, and she got an inside glimpse into the industry that is so bloody and cruel.

Powers says consuming animals for food is like partaking in a bullfight everyday, if not worse.

“A bad bullfight is like seeing bad slaughter, which is being done every single day in this country. Our mass consumption of food and animal products has caused us to have tremendously inhumane ways of slaughtering animals en mass. It’s probably not even as humane in some cases as a bullfight. I can prove that by showing you photographs and films of what they do to wild horses when they send them to slaughterhouses. The pain and suffering, fear and agony of those poor animals is beyond any imagining.”

Powers is also interested in stopping the slaughter of wild horses, an animal she thinks is as American as the bald eagle.

"Eat Humane" iphone application

An iphone application from the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)allows you to choose both stores and restaurants that provide more humane products sourced from animals.

For vegetarians, this can help to avoid buying egg or dairy products produced in factory farms.

The Eat Humane Food app allows you to search by grocery store or restaurant.

When searching by store, the app can display all the foods considered humane sold at the business, ranking them in categories of “Good,” “Better,” and “Best.”

Restaurants are listed by city and offer a glimpse as to what humane foods, such as cage-free eggs are offered at the establishment.

For more information on the Eat Humane app, visit iTunes.

If Tom Dwan is looking to make any more vegetarian prop bets soon, he’ll have to pick another poker player besides Prahlad Friedman.

According to Poker News Daily, Friedman is a devout follower of the Hindu religion, as well as a vegan, joining the likes of poker players who don’t consume meat or dairy like Daniel Negreanu.

Friedman’s total live tournament earnings exceed $2 million.

Now he and Daniel should make a bet on who’s homemade vegan cookies will be consumed the most by players during the next tournament.

Betty Crocker Cookbook

A couple has decided to make vegan versions of every meat, poultry and dairy dish in the Betty Crocker Cookbook.

Dan and Annie Shannon at MeettheShannons.net decided to take on the faux whopper of a project after watching Julie and Julia, which freaked Annie out because of the lobster killing scene.

According to Ecorazzi, Annie said, “For as long as it takes – Dan & I will be veganizing every recipe in The Betty Crocker Cookbook and sharing our tips and secrets with you – our lurking readers.”

Dan and Annie have already veganized recipes like Cheeseburger Pie and Tuna Casserole.

Hop over to their website to see if an old comfort food favorite of yours has already been veganfied!

"Best If Used By Freegans"

A film made by three journalism students at St. Michael’s College in Vermont about people who search through dumpsters for edible food, Best If Used By Freegans, highlights an important lesson in food and health.

According to BurlingtonFreePress, freegan Emily Rose said that despite conditions surrounding a garbage bin and expired food dates, the only freegans who got sick during their dumpster diving adventures were the ones who didn’t follow the prescribed formula.

A true “freegan” eats only free food that is vegan.

“Only one person we talked to said he got sick when he first started,” Rose said in an e-mail, “but he is the person who eats meat such as burgers or pizza that people have left in a food court. Everyone else we talked to, most of whom are vegetarians or vegan, said they’ve never gotten sick. The food they take is food that looks good. They take fruits or vegetables that are fine to eat, they might just have a dent or have soft spots, but it’s nothing that is going to harm you. They wash all the produce and then cook it, just like you’d do if you got it off a grocery store shelf.”

Poor pathetic carnivore can’t handle the leftovers.

The 50 minute film was created to highlight the amount of waste in the American food system, and some freegans ate…well…better than you might on any given week.

Some items consumed by the freegans included smoothies made from oranges and raspberries and green bean and hummus casserole.

Where is the dumpster they found these items from again?
