Today is World Vegetarian Day.

Have an almond milk smoothie on us!

Founded in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS), World Vegetarian Day kicks off Vegetarian Awareness Month during October, which is meant to educate and promote the benefits of a vegetarian diet and lifestyle.

Vegetarians have been celebrating this holiday for 30 years with activism, dinners, educational lectures, and giving their friends and family a good talking to for consuming that hamburger during lunchtime.

Steve-O “Cut Class Not Frogs” Dissection PETA Ad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

Steve-O, the MTV Jackass star who’s real name is Stephen Glover, is the kind of mentor everyone needed in high school.

He’s joined forces with PETA in an anti-dissecting campaign that advises kids to “Cut Class Not Frogs.”

And who said the jackasses in class never amounted to anything when they grew up.

According to peta.org, “Every year, nearly 6 million animals, including frogs, rats, pigs, and cats” are dissected in classrooms.

Many alternative animal models exist, including frogs and pigs, and science literature indicates that these alternative methods, such as computer software, have been proven either equivalent of superior to the use of live or dead animals to help them understand biology and anatomy.

Conservative political talk show host Sean Hannity would like to help some farmers during a drought by raising water levels.

But doing so might wipe out an entire species of fish and Federation of Fisherman has warned that killing these fish will also lead to the salmon population demise.

Jon Stewart took a few moments to mock Hannity for his views about the food chain and regulations that created the reservoirs for the farmers to begin with.

“Hannity lent his almost comically oversized head to the very real drought problem that these farmers are facing,” Stewart says opening the segment.

Michelle Obama Sesame Street Marxist, Fascist Vegetarian Agenda

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Humor, Politicians, Videos.

Michelle Obama made an appearance with Elmo and other furry friends on Sesame Street, encouraging children to eat and plant vegetables as part of Sesame Street’s 40th year anniversary on air.

Time has chosen to poke fun of Michelle’s green and veggie agenda, describing it as “radical/Marxist/Fascist” and here are a few humorous highlights from the article:

“Sesame Street abounds with animals—a mighty bird, a plump Snuffleupagus—yet no one suggests harvesting this local bounty, as was good enough for the Pilgrims, to provide growing children with protein. What do you have against meat, Mrs. Obama? Why are you trying to force your extremist vegetarian agenda on our children?”

(Insert Our thoughts: Does a free-range Snuffleupagus make it more humane?)

“Also, you know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler! (Unless he wasn’t. But it sounds good.)”

“Finally, you know what else grows in nature? ACORNs! Coincidence? I think not!”

Watch the clip above to see Michelle visit time.com to read all evidence pointing to Michelle’s visit being a radical agenda to push veggies on our children.

Kelly Pickler

Kellie Pickler

Yes, there’s a recession, but is Kellie Pickler really in need of another day job?

Or is she suiting up for her Halloween costume?

Pickler tweeted this pick of herself, calling it the Pickler-dog (vegan style).

Pickler took this while playing around in Target, so you might be able to go as a veggie dog this Halloween too.

Be sure to research which candies have dairy products in them, vegans.

Madonna Eats Pizza “The Late Show” David Letterman

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 in Celebrity Sightings, Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Madonna has a slice of pizza at Angelo's after her appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman

It’s cheeseless, looks veggie, but is it vegan?

Madonna got hungry after her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, so she stopped by Angelo’s next to the Ed Sullivan theatre in the neighborhood for some thin crust pizza.

It’s hard to tell from the pic if there’s any meat on the slice or not, but it looks like it might be veggie.

If so, Madge must be trying to make up for that 110 pounds of meat she purchased in the Holy Land.

It’s going take a lot of veggie pizzas to get here, Madonna, but we’re confident you can do it.
