Comments Off on Chantelle Houghton Gets Striped To Ban Wild Animals In Circuses
As a former Celebrity Big Brother star, Chantelle Hougton‘s been a reality TV actress under the microscope and knows it’s not always fame and glory. Maybe that’s why she wants wild animals who are watched by thousands every year in circuses in the UK to get a break from the life of fame and retire peacefully in a sanctuary or be left in the jungle.
Houghton recently posed on the streets of London to protest a failure of the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to ban circus animals, despite most groups that were consulted on the decision being in favor of such a ban, including the British Veterinary Association.

Comments Off on Vegan Black Metal Chef Gains Millions Of YouTube Fans (Video)
A few weeks ago, Brian Manowitz posted a short clip to YouTube showcasing his rockstar metal talents. That clip has now garnered over 1 million pageviews and it has nothing to do with a catchy tune. What’s drawing so many groupies to this metal show? Manowitz’s vegan pad thai with tofu and rice noodles.
The self-professed Vegan Black Metal Chef dresses the part for each episode where he demonstrates cooking a vegan meal–black clothing, white face paint and even brings along the “flames of Satan.”
It’s like Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a seitan dove instead.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Tyler Florence On Getting Kids Hooked On Veggies
“The key is introducing veggies as early as possible. They won’t like everything so don’t give up if his first reaction to a new flavor is less than enthusiastic. You have to offer certain foods a few times, with varying degrees of success, to get a sense of what will go on the menu permanently. Roasting is also another great way to get kids to enjoy veggies. It works with everything: broccoli, green beans, brussels sprouts. Cut the vegetable into small, consistent pieces, drizzle on some olive oil and season with a touch of salt. Spread it on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in a 350-degree oven until it’s caramelized. The natural starches turn into sugars, which of course kids love!”
—Tyler Florence, in an interview with Metro on how to get kids hooked on veggies. The Food Network chef is one omnivore that is definitely turned on to veggies. He has a line of natural, organic baby food with vegetarian options and is the host of the new series Great Food Truck Race that features a vegan food truck based in Orange County, California.
