Rob Zombie “El Superbeasto” Daniel Roebuck Portrayal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, September 26th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV.

Premiere Of Dimension Films' "Halloween II" - Arrivals

Actor Daniel Roebuck has worked with Rob Zombie in several movies, including Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Halloween 2 and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

In El Superbeasto, Daniel was a little surprised to see his voiced lent animated character from Devil’s Rejects, TV talk show host Morris Green, was a little portlier than he thought.

”The first time Rob showed it to me I said, ‘Could I be any fatter?’ My perception of myself is that I’m just a tall guy,” says Roebuck with a laugh. ”But Rob Zombie, this skinny vegetarian, sees me as a big-faced, fat behemoth.”

Ah, don’t feel bad Daniel.

Maybe a little less meat in your diet would take off that 10 pounds the camera-even if animated-puts on.

Vegetarians do tend to be 10-20 pounds lighter than meat eaters.

And even if it doesn’t, you’ll feel healthier anyway.

Nobody, written and directed by Rob Perez, (40 Days and 40 Nights) is about an art student named Lindeman struggling to find himself.

Through his discovery, Lindeman lands himself into various ridiculous situations.

One scene in Nobody features a vegan revolution, which was filmed in Minneapolis, Minnesota outside a place called Porky’s, located near Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Porky’s menu features…uh, let the name speak for itself, along with burgers and other meaty items.

Our imaginations can only wander as we think of what might take place during the veg revolution.

Nobody premiers October 2.

Leona Lewis Criticized For Not Singing At Harrods

2009 VH1 Divas

When Leona Lewis refused to open a sale at Harrods Department store because it sold fur, many applauded her decision to stand by her beliefs.

But not everybody thought it was best decision to turn down over a million dollars, even if it came from a store which stocked those products.

“I am outspoken, especially if it’s to do with animal welfare,” Leona told Scotland’s The Big Issue.

“I got a lot of flak for the Harrods decision. There were people who said I should have done it and given the money to charity, but that would have been such a contradiction because doing it on one hand to give on the other is not helping anything.”

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, comes out on November 17.

Kathy Freston Celebrates Her New Book 'Quantum Wellness'

Kathy Freston interviewed Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Professor Emeritus of Cornell University and author of the The China Study, for the Huffington Post.

Kathy and Dr. Campbell discuss how plant based diets can prevent cancer, and the link between meat and dairy and developing the disease.

A few excerpts:

TCC: The chemicals that create these cancer genes are called ‘carcinogens’. Most carcinogens of years past have been those that attack normal genes to give cancer genes. These are initiating carcinogens, or initiators. But more recently, carcinogens also may be those that promote cancer growth. They are promoting carcinogens, or promoters.

Our work showed that casein is the most relevant cancer promoter ever discovered.

(Casein is a protein found in milk and cheese.)

KF: What exactly is so bad about animal protein?

TCC: I don’t choose the word “exactly” because it suggests something very specific. Rather, casein causes a broad spectrum of adverse effects.

Among other fundamental effects, it makes the body more acidic, alters the mix of hormones and modifies important enzyme activities, each of which can cause a broad array of more specific effects. One of these effects is its ability to promote cancer growth (by operating on key enzyme systems, by increasing hormone growth factors and by modifying the tissue acidity). Another is its ability to increase blood cholesterol (by modifying enzyme activities) and to enhance atherogenesis, which is the early stage of cardiovascular disease.

And finally, although these are casein-specific effects, it should be noted that other animal-based proteins are likely to have the same effect as casein.
