Vegetarian Star

2014 was a great year for vegetarian news. Here’s a look at the top stories Vegetarian Star feels were the most worthy.

#5. TODAY Hosts Do Real Vs. Faux Meat Taste Test. Al Roker, Matt Lauer and the crew agreed even a meat lover would enjoy digging their teeth in some of the faux cold cuts featured.

#4. The Year Of The Cat. Host of the popular Animal Planet series My Cat From Hell Jackson Galaxy did an exclusive interview with the President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States Wayne Pacelle. Galaxy and Pacelle gave cats four paws up as they discussed cats in the news and the potential impact these animals can have on the lives of millions of pet owners.

#3. Vegan Chef Wins Cutthroat Kitchen. Vegans and vegetarians often get roasted (pun intended) on reality cooking shows. But  Louisville vegan chef Kristina Addington beat her competitors in the series where opponents spend money to sabotage the competition. It pays to be nice. It doesn’t hurt to be vegan either.

—Ian Harding, in an interview with the Humane Society of the United States for the January/February issue of its All Animals magazine. The actor has volunteered at the HSUS affiliated The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in the past, helping the facility release rehabilitated birds.

Update 12/15/2014: It turns out, Pope Francis was actually referencing to a statement made by one of his predecessors. He was not the one who comforted the boy or the owner of the original statement on animals going to heaven. However, as far as Vegetarian Star is concerned, all pets are nothing but angels.

Catholic animal lovers will be glad to hear that Pope Francis has declared their four-legged friends worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Even the ones with obedience problems.

During a speech, Francis comforted a boy who had experienced the loss of his pet dog.

“One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures,” Francis said.
