Vegetarian Star

Lisa Edelstein has told us all about her vegan shoe problem in the past.

Although she sometimes wears leather shoes, the House actress and vegetarian says she tries to support vegan companies whenever possible.

“There are some wonderful emerging companies that have great vegan shoes and bags and I try to support them as much as possible.”

Edelstein, along with other celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Laura Wright, and John Henson share their secrets for being green on Mother Nature Network.

I’m the crazy person that for the last 20 years has brought my own bags to the grocery store,” Edelstein said. “I use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies in my house, I use biodegradable doggie bags and I drive a hybrid. I do what I can. If everybody does what they can it will make an enormous difference.”

If you’re looking for a vegan shoe, it might surprise you to know they’re not as scarce as some realize. Even shops like Target will usually have a few pairs containing completely man-made material.

With well known designers like Elizabeth Olsen to a pocketbook and environmentally friendly Zoe and Zac brand at Payless Shoes, you’re guaranteed plenty of opportunities to have your style and ethics too.

And you thought St. Louis Children’s Hospital was the only facility still living in the dark ages.

Woody Harrelson is denouncing Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for using cats to practice the same types of life support procedures St. Louis does that are used on infants and children.

Vegan and raw foodie Harrelson took a moment to write to Dr. John Baldwin, president of the center, pointing out that not only is the use of cats cruel, but both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association endorse the use of manikins that represent the human anatomy more realistically.

“As a native Texan, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center has been purchasing cats from a nearby animal shelter and using them for cruel medical training exercises. Cats used for the experiments have plastic tubes forced down their throats and needles stabbed into their chests and are then killed.”

“Animal shelters are supposed to be places of refuge for animals. I and countless others around the state are deeply discouraged to learn that Texas Tech is taking advantage of the tragic abundance of abandoned animals. Unwanted animals should at least be given a quick and painless death—and they definitely should not be tortured in a laboratory.”

Heather Mills demonstrated her cooking skills and gave her vegan restaurant V Bites some publicity today on the This Morning show on Britain’s iTV.

She showed off her animal free physique, wearing a black sporty top lined in white, and forgoing the apron guests usually wear when cooking on the show.

Heather thinks she can win people over with a just a few bites.

“I’m not telling people to stop eating meat and dairy altogether but people don’t have a great opinion about veganism and the easiest way to change people’s minds is to do it through great tasting food,” she told hosts Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield.

She took the time to explain the difference between “vegetarian” and “vegan” and whipped up a spicy thai dish using her V Bites chicken substitute.

Twilight actress Christian Serratos recently interviewed with New York Beauty Secrets Examiner Gabrielle Long, where she revealed she prefers to keep her beauty collection cruelty-free!

“I mean, there’s still some stuff that I’m trying to like wean myself off of by finishing the bottle and calling it a day with it. Because I found out that some of my favorite stuff either tests on animals, or uses animals. Luckily, a lot of the stuff I already use won’t test on animals, so I lucked out and picked the right things. It’s convenient.”

“I like this new brand Stripped, it has this vegan mineral veil, and I love it. Everything is vegan, even their brushes. Because I don’t like to use any animal products, it’s really hard to find out what is or isn’t. It’s really easy with Stripped because all of their brushes and all their makeup and lipgloss and everything is vegan.”

Vegetarian Times online has an interview with Farm Sanctuary’s President and co-founder, Gene Baur.

Farm Sanctuary works to protect and rescue farm animals throughout North America.

Not only are factory farms cruel to animals, they’re wasting our water more than a fully running faucet during teeth brushing time!

“Water is a precious resource. There is a 10:1 ratio in terms of water resources necessary for meat production versus vegetarian food production. The “externalities” or external costs of factory farms include polluted surface and ground water due to untreated manure lagoons that are basically just liquid waste. There was a theory that anaerobic decomposition would decay it all. However, when it rains, these lagoons overflow. This also causes a destruction of property values because of the stench.”

“I’ve never been a feminist so there you go. I just do what I think I have to do. I’m not resistant. I’m only interested in meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. If you’re a feminist and a meat-eater you’ve got nothing to do with me. We’re not speaking the same language. I’ve never been discriminated against anyway.”

—-Chrissie Hynde, who said she doesn’t get why some people are hung up on gender. Incidentally, some vegans might consider the dairy industry to be a feminist thing, as female cows are forcefully impregnated to produce milk for human profit and consumption. Is there a feminist theme behind the Dairy is Rape saying?
