Vegetarian Star

Propagandhi makes it no secret they disagree with the concept of “humanely raised meat” as is evident through their song about roasting Sandor Katz.

Band member Chris Hannah explains what he meant about his statement that, “we do encourage people to slaughter and devour organically-fed human corpses.”

“Obviously it’s tongue in cheek,” Chris says. “People are spreading the idea around that there’s a humane way of confining, terrorizing, mutilating, killing and eating non-human animals.”

“I don’t think that’s a very good rationalization-to tend to call things Happy Meat or Humane Meat. I think it’s dishonest.”

Whew! Glad Chris wasn’t serious about cheering on cannibalism.

Jason Mraz was recently interviewed by Mike Ragogna of the Huffington Post, where it was revealed that for his final show on the Gratitude Cafe tour, in San Diego, fans can pay what they want to attend.

“You can come and pay a dollar or seventy-five dollars, or you can go online for some of our best seats for probably a couple o’ hundred dollars,” said Mraz. “Or you can come with your pockets empty and learn about the local charities we’re going to have on hand. It was a way for me to give back to my community, and also, hopefully, a way to inspire that community to pay it forward.”

Some of the proceeds from the concert go towards various charities.

“The San Diego Youth Services, VH1 Save The Music, and the Surfrider foundation are our three main beneficiaries, and we’re getting hit up by many other charities who are probably going to be on hand on that day.”

Being so charitable must mean Jason knows there’s something bigger to life than being selfish. Is this due to his vegan diet?

“Let’s say you’re a vegan or if you choose to eat raw food. Well, that makes you a little more conscious about what you’re putting in your body, therefore, raising your consciousness, if you will. And the same thing goes for being conscious about thoughts, your own thoughts, and what you’re telling yourself, how you’re living your life, how you’re creating a life experience for yourself. That is definitely going to bring in how the world shows up for you, and how you can see the world improve in certain areas, or how you could inspire certain people to improve their work or outreach and share a little more of life’s resources. There’s really no limit as to how far you can go, and hopefully, the concert we do in San Diego will continue to speak that message.”

If you’re in Venice, California, there’s still time to head over to the 2009 Abbot Kinney Festival, which is described by festival officials as a fun event for, “adults who are environmentally conscious, focused on health, love animals, enjoy bicycling, family-oriented, unpretentiously hip, and arts-minded.”

Health focused and environmentally conscious include eating more plant based foods and Compassion Over Killing is on hand passing out pro-vegetarian pamphlets to all those unpretentiously hip festival goers.

So head over and say hi to the folks at COK and enjoy the featured exhibitors, including the Whole Foods Green Scene, featuring Clif Bar and Tom’s Shoes.

The festival will be ongoing until 6PM, Pacific time.

William Safire, New York Times and presidential speech writer, has died at the age of 79.

Safire once devoted a column in the New York Times on vegetarianism and veganism, citing woodworker and originator of the word “vegan” Donald Watson.

Safire himself, took the time to elaborate on the pronunciation of the word “vegan.”

“My problem with vegan, now affirmatively used as self-description by roughly two million Americans, is its pronunciation. Does the first syllable sound like the vedge in vegetable, with the soft g? Or is it pronounced like the name sci-fi writers have given the blue-skinned aliens from far-off Vega: VEE-gans or VAY-gans?”

“For this we turn to the word’s coiner: ”The pronunciation is VEE-gan,” Watson told Vegetarians in Paradise, a Los Angeles-based Web site, last year, ”not vay-gan, veggan or veejan.” He chooses the ee sound followed by a hard g. That’s decisive but not definitive; some lexicographers differ, and pronunciation will ultimately be determined by the majority of users.”

“I’ll go along with the coiner’s pronunciation of VEE-gan. He’s a charmingly crotchety geezer who began as a vegetarian. ”When my older brother and younger sister joined me as vegetarians, nonsmokers, teetotalers and conscientious objectors,” Watson says, ”my mother said she felt like a hen that had hatched a clutch of duck eggs.” He obviously inherited her feel for language. I’m a carnivore myself — an animal that delights in eating other animals — but won’t treat this guy like a fad-diet freak: Watson has a major coinage under his belt, and he’s a spry 94.”

Always nice to see a non veg appreciate someone who follows the lifestyle.

Our thoughts are with Safire’s friends and family.

Pop Crunch does a regular feature where Sarah does a hilarious, sarcastic take on current celebrity events.

Since we love Sarah’s feature on Pop Crunch, it’s cool to learn that Sarah is a vegetarian.

Watch as Sarah gives the lowdown on celebrity vegetarians, plus a little sermon about the environmental impact of meat during her National Hug A Vegetarian Day clip.

Uh-oh.

Holly Madison has said in the past she always fakes it.

So we’re really hoping she was faking it with Carrot Top (who every woman probably has to fake it with-haha, just kidding, love you Carrot Top) when she wore this fur coat at the Minus 5 Ice Bar at the Mandaly Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Holly and Carrot Top were crowned Ice Queen and King.

When Holly was approached to do an anti-fur PSA, she had said:

“I’m not a hardcore PETA person. When they approached me to do the ad, I made it clear to them that I’m not a vegetarian, and I’ve got leather seats in my car. I said I would support that ad campaign, but I wasn’t their model citizen, and they were fine with that.”

Maybe Holly’s not a hardcore anti-fur person either.

Take a look and tell us what you think.

Is Holly faking it?
