Vegetarian Star

The Scott Pilgram vs. the World trailer is out.

The film features Michael Cera‘s character dueling with seven evil ex boyfriends of the girl who’s heart he wants to win.

This classic love story has an even more unusual twist in that one of the exes, Todd Ingram (played by Brandon Routh), is a vegan, which gives him telekinesis powers.

Watch the clip as Ingram throws Pilgrim across a street, smacking him into a building.

This jerky guy even occasionally cheats with dairy.

Some people really need to learn some better conflict/resolution skills.

If you were given superpowers because of your vegan status, you’d surely use them in a more productive, less violent way, like making test tube meat instantly available or turning real meat in faux at the snap of the finger or solving the pet overpopuation crisis.

The vegan violence begins around part 0:48.

Chipotle founder, co-CEO and co-chair Steve Ells says the pork sourced for their products is obtained from Niman Ranch, a small network of family farms that raise their pigs on open pastures or deeply bedded barns, feed them vegetarian diets and give them no hormones or antibiotics.

After switching to this supplier, Ells found sales increased even after having to charge an extra dollar to cover the cost of the non factory farmed meat.

Paul Wills, manager of Niman Ranch Pork Company, is a contributor in Moby and Miyun Park‘s edited collection of essays, Gristle, where he discusses the strain big farms put on small family ones.

Although Wills may be a fish out of water in a book edited by a vegan with a vegetarian slant, the experience with Chipotle restaurant teaches us that the more humane way to raise an animal for food not only puts less stress on the organism and the environment, but results in more satisfaction for the consumer.

Niman Ranch’s “ethical meat” is not a vegetarian carnita, but it’s a step forward in taking better care of the world and every living thing, including part time vegetarians, that inhabits it.

PETA may be getting some after all.

As previously reported, the animal rights group requested that the domain name “sex.com” be donated to them in order to use the site to promote vegetarianism.

Lucky for them, Mike Mann, a longtime vegetarian and social entrepreneur, is a part owner of the domain and wants the group to have it under one condition: the IRS must accept the $50 million dollar donation as a tax deduction.

The only other issue is that Mann is not the sole owner of the domain.

Will PETA be getting domain laid soon?

Tune in later to find out.

Twitter Co-Founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams announced a side project for Twitter last year–making wine.

The company is making both California Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir under the wine label “Fledgling” and donating the proceeds to Room To Read, a non-profit organization supporting literacy programs around the world.

Having a drink with a fellow vegetarian like Biz would be the greatest pleasure, especially considering he’s already done his research on how to stay vegan and tipsy.

Biz told Winespectator:

“You can find wines that are not filtered through isinglass [or egg whites]. One of our board members recently had us over for dinner and selected wines that were all vegan. That was thoughtful … We’ve been to Spain a bunch of times. We have a lot of fun getting tapas in a veggie format. This past New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay home because I’d done so much traveling. We made a bunch of tapas and drank cava.”

Don’t forget to check your favorite wine against the vegan friendly wine list and follow the progress of Twitter’s Fledgling wine label @fledgling.

Jayson Williams may be getting the freshest, local produce available in New Jersey while he serves his sentence for aggravated assault in the death of a limo driver.

TMZ reports that the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Wrightstown, New Jersey participates in the Jersey Fresh program, meaning if Williams eats the colorful parts of his plate, he’ll consume locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Developed in 1983, the Jersey Fresh program was designed to help farmers advertise their locally grown items to residents of the state, according to the State of New Jersey Department of Agriculture website.

Initially a radio advertising program, methods of disseminating the news has spread to billboards, television and print ads reminding consumers to support their local farmers.

Now that’s a can’t-get-it-out-of-your-head jingle worth remembering.

Red Sox fans will have additional options while enjoying future games at Fenway Park.

ARAMARK has helped one of America’s famous ballparks expand its vegetarian menu to include a new veggie burger, veggie hot dog, and a spinach and mozzarella Stromboli.

These changes come to an already vegetarian friendly menu offering veggie pizzas, burritos, hummus and fruit cups.

An expanding menu is just one of the numerous changes made to the facility, some of which include improved restroom facilities and easier access between different areas of the parks with more stairways.

Larry Lucchino, president and chief executive officer of the Red Sox called this year’s improvements “less sexy than in the past but very appealing to some of our fans.”

Considering the saturated fat and cholesterol in so many meat foods sold in ballpark vending areas that can lead to obesity, fatigue and erectile dysfunction, making healthier vegetarian foods available to Red Sox fans and even fans of their opponents sounds like a very sexy thing to do.

Joaquin Phoenix is back!

After a brief stint as a Rastafarian looking rapper with average rhyming ability, Phoenix has cut his hair, shaved and possibly showered to show his pretty face in a new video for PETA on the use of animal hides in the fashion industry.

“Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before being turned into belts and bags,” Joaquin says in the video. “Every year millions of reptiles are slaughtered so handbags, belts and shoes can be made from their skin. The animals’ welfare is not a consideration to those who hunt, skin and farm them.”

According to SF Gate, the video will be sent to celebrities who are known for using clothing and accessories made from lizards, snakes and alligators.
