Comments Off on Jane Goodall Takes Dog Along To Tournament Of Roses Parade
Jane Goodall served as the grand marshall of the 124th Tournament of Roses Parade.
Riding in the carriage with her were representatives from her youth program, Roots and Shoots, which focuses on getting adolescents excited about conservation and other environmental issues.
Goodall had one other companion along with her for the ride–a good friend helping to bring awareness to the animal population that’s waiting to be adopted.
Ne-Yo is asking his Twitter followers to help him with his New Year’s resolution.
The R & B singer sent out a series of Tweets announcing his new diet, his motivations for it and if anyone could give him lessons on feeding himself!
“What’s everybody’s New Year’s resolution?” was the first message he sent. “I’m gonna try to go Vegan. Discipline test. NOT looking forward to it. Wish me luck!!”
Anderson Cooper invited actor Alan Cumming to his studios of Anderson Cooper Live to discuss New Year’s Resolutions and Cumming’s charities.
Cooper, Cumming and co-host Jill Martin enjoyed a plate of faux chicken tenders during the segment.
Cooper expressed that he would like to become a vegan, but thought the switch would be too hard as he’s used to eating the same dish (presumably meat dish) daily.

Comments Off on Best Vegetarian Stories Of 2012
2012 saw a lot of awesome vegetarians, vegans and plant-loving people make headlines.
Here are a few of Vegetarian Star’s favorite.
#5. Vegetarian Olympics.
The 2012 London games made America proud with plant-based eaters like Mary Whipple and Dotsie Bausch who shared their medal-winning veggie meals with the media. And UK based Fry’s fed fans and athletes with their delicious meatless items like vegetarian mince meat. Go team VEG!
2012 had some great moments for vegetarians and vegans.
And some not so great ones.
Here are Vegetarian Star‘s top Not So Vegetarian stories of celebrities and people in the news that have turned heads, offended and or just looked a little ridiculous.
#5. Mayor Bloomberg Washes Down Wieners Without Soda.
NYC’s mayor attended a competitive overeating contest (also known as hot dog eating contest) where the winners consumed dozens of processed, chemical filled animal wieners. He also ate one himself. Thank goodness he found time to attend this in the midst of his campaign to limit soda consumption to curb obesity. Because soda is the only real evil in making people fat. Not 60 hot dogs.
#4 Conan Whips Out His Wiener.
Not exactly indecent exposure, but the World’s Largest Chicago-Style hot dog does expose one to an increased risk of diabetes and cancer.
