Vegetarian Star

No your favorite Phish bass player didn’t get arrested, he just had some vegetarian dinner in Portland, Maine recently.

The Green Elephant Vegetarian Bistro couldn’t wait to post on Facebook that they had the pleasure of serving the musician.

“the green elephant vegetarian bistro Proudly served Mike Gordon of Phish this evening!!!”

We’re sure they wouldn’t mind serving you too if you walked in and ordered something.

For lunch, we suggest the Soy Meat and Herb Salad or Tofu Tikka Masala.

If you’re still not full, stick around for the dinner menu and try the Vegan King Oyster Mushroom Tempura or the Veggie Tuna Salad.

Want something to take home?

The Veggie Citrus Spare Ribs sound great for late night munching or the morning after.

Russell Simmons made a Tweet recently discussing the cultural use of the “N-word” among young African-Americans and those in hip hop culture.

“Honestly I’m more concerned about people eating animals or abusing the planet or sitting still for wars then the use of n word”

Russell’s stance on putting issues that affect everyone before any particular group is reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde‘s statement that she didn’t give a falafel about feminism, only meat eaters and non meaters.

However, to make sure no one was offended, Russell followed up with this Tweet:

“I do not like to say hurtful things to people .some are offended by the n word for those who are I apologize”

Any thoughts?

Now that you’ve seen Steve-O‘s Anti-Dissection PSA, take a look at the video showing both footage from the shoot and Steve-O sharing his thoughts on dissection.

“We shouldn’t make kids dissect animals,” Steve says.

“They should have the choice to say, ‘On a moral level, I’m not into that.'”

As a student, did you (or do you still) have problems with being able to refuse dissecting in class?

Rachel Zoe Faux Fur Vest

Although her assistant still thinks vegan shoes are made from mashed potatoes and cauliflower, Rachel Zoe at least knows fur vests should be made from synthetic material and not animal hide.

That’s why she’s designed these especially made for QVC faux fur vests.

These debuted at New York Fashion Week last month, and sell for under $130, featuring a wing collar and six hidden hook and eye closures.

You can view Rachel’s other faux fur designs at QVC.com.

Be sure to catch Rachel on QVC on Saturday, October 10 at 1PM ET for the Accessorizing With Rachel Zoe segment.

Evander Holyfield has just announced he’s interested in helping the environment.

He told the Associated Press: “I guess I’m lean and green. I’m pretty much going to do all I can to fight against global warming. I’ll see what I can do to help and try to help other people who want to do the same thing.”

Part of those plans include turning an acre of his suburban Atlanta estate into an organic garden that can be used by youth and building a 40-acre solar energy farm on the same property.

Evander said part of the reason he’s embarking on green adventures is he’s recently gained some financial success and wants to give back.

Some of that financial success is from his recent Taco Bell commercials, like the one shown above.

We’re ecstatic that Evander is giving all his punch to the environment, but have to speak up and say the best way he can be “lean and green” is to go veg…and not eat from most of the Taco Bell menu.

Meat and all processes that go toward putting it from the farm to your plate has the greatest impact on the Earth’s health, and going for the refried beans burrito (does Taco Bell have lard in their beans) instead of the Nacho Crunch Burrito is the easiest way to reduce global warming.

To really “think outside the bun,” make one day of the week a meatless day, Evander. It might help you look prettier in that dress you’re wearing in the commercial, too.

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!

Today is Gandhi‘s birthday, and if you look on Google.com, you’ll see the tech folks in Mountain View, California have chosen to honor him in a very special way.

Gandhi was a vegetarian for most of his life, especially as he grew older and became more spiritual.

Some of his famous quotes were about humanity and the treatment of animals.

Our favorite message from Gandhi would have to be the following:

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

How would Gandhi judge our nation today?

“We often say that we are not perfect, but at the same time, more and more people like to talk about this side of our brand. There are definitely other aspects to consider. There are organic fabrics, low impact dyes. My fashions are mainly made in Italy, so child labor is not an issue for us. We work a lot on fair trade. The first question that comes up when we open a store is ‘Can we use wind power?’ Sometimes we can, sometimes we can’t. Because it’s a mindset, it comes quite naturally.”

—-Stella McCartney, in an interview with Above Magazine, on the ethical issues besides not using leather or fur, on maintaining an ethical fashion line.
