Vegetarian Star

Fall Out Boy veggie drummer Andy Hurley will be joining Earth Crisis for their upcoming tour, according to Punk News.

Hurley once attributed the lack of tabloid gossip about him to the fact that he’s a straight edge vegan who’ll never get caught doing things like, “stumbling out of a bar drunk.”

Earth Crisis is known for its involvement and support of animal rights issues and also maintaining a straight edge vegan life and speaking out on political issues.

Sounds like Andy will feel right at home.

For the first time in over 20 years, the Iditarod Trail sled dog race ended with no dogs dying during the race.

“To stand there and watch that last team come in, I’ll tell you, is the highlight of my veterinarian career,” chief race veterinarian Stuart Nelson said. “I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that this is a first.”

Conditions that favored the well being of the dogs during the race this year include good trail conditions and low temperatures, since overheating is the biggest threat, according to Nelson.

“Typically our greatest concern is dogs that might overheat,” Nelson said. “So when you have a colder race, you can take that factor, typically, out of the equation.”

Nelson also said that he couldn’t remember any animals not dying since he first became involved with the race in 1986.

The last dog death resulted in an investigation after animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demanded it.

Still, no deaths doesn’t satisfy all advocates of the dogs in the race, like Margery Glickman, founder of the Sled Dog Action Coalition.

“If it’s true that there have been no dog deaths, I hope that remains the case for however long this race is run and I hope that they make other improvements,” Glickman told the Anchorage Daily News.

Glickman wants the race shortened and more rest breaks available.

About 40 volunteer veterinarians patrolled the trail at various checkpoints, checking the health of the dogs throughout the race.

Gordon Ramsay traveled to Boco Raton, Florida in a recent episode of Kitchen Nightmares to clean up the menu and kitchen at Anna Vincenzo’s Italian restaurant.

As part of the grand reopening of the eatery, Anna Vincenzo’s held a celebrity pizza making contest, where athletes from the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat and Florida Panthers had to construct the perfect pizza in 3 minutes.

Non meat eating Miami Heat forward James Jones won’t touch the pizza he made for the judges because he put meat on it thinking it would impress them and said he didn’t know what else to put on it, even though tubs of veggies like mushrooms and peppers can be seen in the clip.

Such a shame, considering the vegetarian pizzas on Anna Vincenzo’s menu outnumber the meat ones 5:3!

Guess more Floridians are impressed with meat-free after all.

The Genesis awards will air April 24 and 25 on Animal Planet.

During the ceremony, Vegetarian Times editor caught up with several celebrities to ask about their favorite vegetarian meals.

Boo Boo Stewart answered, “Tofu, my mom makes it all the time!”

For those that don’t have Boo Boo’s mom around (or any mother who will still cook for you once you’ve reached, oh, dunno 35 years of age or so) there’s help.

Renee Stewart explained all the details of her fabulous Japanese style tofu at the awards, with the best simplicity.

“Drain it; cut it in cubes; drizzle it with sesame oil and soy sauce; and sprinkle it with dried chives, sesame seeds, and dried seaweed.”

Yum.

Boo Boo should never move out of mom’s house.

There’s nothing more uncomfortable for the rest of the friends and family than when bachelor Cassanova invites the girl he met two nights ago to a wedding or family reunion.

On a recent episode of How I Met Your Mother, titled “Say Cheese,” Josh Radnor‘s character, Ted Mosby, is painfully reminded by Lily (Alyson Hannigan) that he has a tendency to bring wacky girlfriends to important events.

Specifically, Lily doesn’t want any more random skanks in the group photos and she forces Ted to take a trip down “Random Skank Lane.”

One random skank was a vegetarian hippie girl named Strawberry who threw red paint on the chef at the dinner table and yelled, “Meat is Murder,” when Marshall (Jason Segel) passed the bar exam.

Strawberry had good intentions.

Words of wisdom for a potential date if you might not yet be promoted from the ranks of random skanks.

Kindly say “I’m a vegetarian,” and be prepared to politely answer any questions about your lifestyle without belittling anyone or staining their shirt.

Daryl Hannah lives in a solar powered home that she calls a “misfit circus” to abandoned and disabled animals.

Hannah’s use of natural energy to run her home is just one of several ways the vegetarian actress does her part to protect the environment.

Hannah arrived at a recent radio program in Santa Cruz with the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am she drove in Kill Bill, a sports car she has converted to run off 85% ethanol.

Federal regulations currently limit the amount of alcohol per gallon of gasoline to 10%.

The EPA is considering allowing states to increase this limit to 15%, but opponents argue that increasing the blend causes corrosion and overheating.

Although some doubt the benefits of ethanol to the environment, David Blume, an ecologist from the Santa Cruz area calls Hannah a “guru” and insists more education is needed.

“People just don’t know that alcohol fuel is a possibility,” Blume, who was later scheduled for a press conference encouraging the EPA to lift the restriction.
