Art Deco Clutch Gold

In an interview with FashionSalade, co-founder Jill Fraser discussed how the cruelty-free handbag line was created and how pleased even their non-vegan customers are with the materials.

“People often remark they are shocked our bags are not leather,” Fraser said. “It is because our faux leather is actually more expensive and has a higher quality than most real leather.”

Betty Crocker Cauliflower Power Taco

How do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend?

If your ideas include purchasing cheap tortilla chips from the gas station and buying some cheap, off-brand guacamole spread you think is vegan, but actually contains milk, it’s time to take some advice from one of the biggest names in home cooking, Betty Crocker.

The company has unveiled “Feed Your Fiesta: 5 Tacos. 5 Margaritas. 5 de Mayo,” five tacos paired with five margaritas based on today’s trends in food. As it has in the past, Betty Crocker recognizes vegetarianism as being one of those hottest trends and has included a vegan taco that also happens to be gluten-free, paired with Frozen Mango COCOritas.

Jorja Fox Animal Activism Inspired By Grandmother (Video)

Jorja Fox

Some of us can credit a specific person in our lives that brought us closer to vegetarianism and animal rights.

Actress Jorja Fox recalls the day her grandmother warned her that animals’ natural environments were being threatened.

“She had this amazingly progressive philosophy regarding animals,” Fox told Vegetarian Times. “I remember watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom as a little kid, and they’re talking about habitat issues and she’s saying to me, “We have to do something about this.”

Fox recently recorded a PSA for Animals Defenders International to educated the public on the treatment of circus animals. The clip shows beautiful images of elephants walking across the Earth outdoors. The peaceful imagery is a sharp contrast to the elephants that are then shown in a circus environment.

Watch the clip below.
