Vegetarian Star

You know he’s never down with burnt flesh at his concerts.

Morrissey recently stopped in the middle of “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others,” during a concert because he couldn’t stand the smell of meat cooking in the venue at the recent Coachella festival.

Guess his earlier attempts to have it banned like Chrissie Hynde does didn’t work out too well.

After he got a whiff of burgers coming from a nearby stand, Morrissey stated, “I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it’s human.”

When he returned to the stage, he said, “The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn’t bear it.”

We hear ya man.

He then completed the rest of his set, including his newest song, “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris.”

Have you ever left a celebration or event because it smelled too meaty? Chime in and let everyone know!

“If you can spend a little time with these creatures, you can connect them again to animals that you love, which I think helps everybody remember the importance of treating them humanely and with dignity.”
—actress Jorja Fox, from the Spring newsletter of Animal Acres.

Animal Acres is gearing up for its fantastic LA Veggie Pride Parade. The parade will feature all the awesome things a festival does, such as a march, food and entertainment, and guest speakers like Karen Dawn and Rory Freedman.

The veg gal Pamela Anderson recently agreed to launch the opening of a strip club. A strip club located in a steakhouse.

While we feel this isn’t the best example a vegetarian should be setting, PETA is defending one of its biggest partners in meatless crime. A statement from the organization:

“Pam is not a host but may be attending as an invited guest, and since steakhouses nowadays have some of the best salad bars and veggie options around, we’re sure she’ll find plenty to eat should she attend.”

Well, sure, a steakhouse always has some vegetables. That’s why they call it “meat and potatoes.”

If she really wants to do some promoting, she’ll champion for a veggie burger on the steakhouse menu.

We admit we’re in love with Missy Higgins. But what’s not to love about her?

A vegan with a beautiful voice and equally talented song writing skills, she’s no stranger to animal issues either. Remember when she got cuddly with the piggy?

Now she’s cozying up with Izzy the dog, and both want to convey a serious message about animals and the fur industry.

“If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur,” reads the ad.

“The only difference between your “best friend” and animals killed for their fur is how we treat them. All animals suffer and feel pain. Please don’t wear any fur or fur trim.”

When you think of animal rights, the conservative right isn’t the first group that comes to mind.

Rush Limbaugh (yes, that’s not a typo) has recorded a PSA for the Humane Society of the United States.

After the initial shock is over that conservative Rush would be involved with what some of his followers would call an “extreme left group,” here’s something else for you digest: Rush loves his little Punkin!

“When you think of law enforcement and animals, police dogs come to mind,” Rush says. “But law enforcement has another ally in the animal realm and that’s the Humane Society of the United States.”

“I have a cat. That little cat is a treasure to me-Punkin. If anybody harmed Punkin, they would be punished by me.”

Go, Rush. Get em’!

The Humane Society issued a statement saying, “The animal protection movement should never confine itself to the Left or the Right in American politics. Opposition to cruelty and the embrace of the human-animal bond are universal values, and people of every background and point of view should find common purpose with the work and programs of The Humane Society of the United States and its affiliates.”

Yes, we are coming together after all. Listen to Rush’s PSA below.

Yes, indeed he did go there.

On one of his recent shows, Dr. Phil McGraw was introducing his latest Jerry Springer couple dilemma where the two had grown apart.

What potential irreconcilable differences exist? Well, one’s a darn vegan for goodness sakes!

From Vegdaily.com:

“As Mr. Oprah was welcoming the couple he finished the dramatic intro by saying, ” … and now he’s an angry atheist and vegan. (pause) Do those two go together?””

If we wanted to play Dr. Phil, we could analyze this for deeper meaning. Are vegans angry? Margaret Cho thinks so.

Yeah, nothing like sticking the tofu to your spouse to ruin the relationship.

Who says traveling abroad makes for difficulty in keeping your diet veg? Forest Whitaker traveled to Africa, ate vegetarian, and got crowned a chief in the process. Talk about a lucky dog!

He and actor Danny Glover recently traveled to Nigeria where they both received chieftaincy titles.

Whitaker was able to receive his title, Nwannedinamba of Nkwere in Imo State, which means “a brother in foreign land,” after using DNA testing to trace his father’s ancestral lineage.

And while Nigeria is far from Whitaker’s home in the US, he was still able to feast on several vegetarian dishes, including several rices and pastas.

“Whitaker and Glover took to the dance floor and moved their bodies to local music proudly by live performers. Soon afterwards, they settled for lunch and each savoured locally prepared dishes of Jollof rice, Semolina and Egusi soup. Whitaker, who is a vegetarian, stayed off meat but enjoyed the other dishes displayed on the table.”

Sounds like a meal made for a chief.

Do we have any African culinary experts out there? What are some great African dishes us non chiefs can whip up in the kitchen?
