Comments Off on “Martha Stewart’s Pies & Tarts” With Vegan Tart Recipe
Martha Stewart has never shied away from vegetarian and vegan cooking in her kitchen. Because she raised a daughter who became vegetarian as a teen, she never had the choice.
But Alexis is an adult now, and Martha’s still giving veg some genuine attention. She recently requested vegans to sit in the audience for an upcoming show about veganism. And she’s included at least one vegan recipe in her new cookbook, Martha Stewart’s Pies & Tarts.

Comments Off on “Nightline” Wins Genesis Award For “Got Milk?” Investigation (Video)
An ABC Nightline documentary created from an undercover investigation at a dairy farm won a Genesis Award from the Humane Society of the United States.
Footage showed workers at Willet Dairy in East Genoa, New York kicking and hitting animals, digging their fingers into animals’ eye sockets, cows being dragged and animals’ tails and horns being removed without anesthesia. The undercover investigator with the animal rights organization Mercy For Animals shot the footage while working as a mechanic.
“I wish we lived in a world where caring for animals wasn’t so rare that it deserved an award. All I do is treat animals with the respect and dignity they deserve. I hope someday soon, everyone does the same. PETCO and the PETCO Foundation have made great efforts to protect animals and I commend them for going above and beyond the call of duty.”
—Ellen DeGeneres, on accepting the PETCO Foundation’s HOPE Award given to public figures that promote the bond between humans and animals. The awards ceremony will be held in San Diego, California on April 30, 2011. DeGeneres is the co-owner of Halo Pet Food, a natural line of food for animals containing only human-grade ingredients. Last year, Halo partnered with several non-profit organizations like Freekibble, The Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, Pets for Patriots, and The National Canine Cancer Foundation to donate 1 million pet meals to over 100 shelters across the United States.
Comments Off on Blair Griffith “Miss Colorado” Crowns Homeless Animals As Winners
Blair Griffith is a beauty queen who’s Cinderella story resembles what happens after midnight and the fairy tale collapses.
Her mother had a heart attack and had to undergo several medical procedures which set the family back financially, eventually causing them to lose their home and move in with relatives. To make matters worse, Griffith’s job was with one of the Sak’s Fifth Avenue stores the company chose to close.
But despite these hard times, Miss Colorado still plans to compete in the Miss USA competition in June. Being a pagent contestant, Griffith knows competition can wreak havoc on someone’s well-being. That’s why she hopes to level the playing field for the millions of dogs and cats in shelters waiting for homes by writing an editorial encouraging adoption.
While staunch vegans roll their eyes and dismiss her as yet another flaky celebrity who makes a bad name for the lifestyle, her latest cheating revelation may actually be good for pushing people toward more plant-based meals.
During an interview with Women’s Health, Silverstone admitted that every once in awhile she gets the urge to be a pescatarian.
Comments Off on Jamie Oliver Makes It Easier To Get Tomato Instead Of Prostitute (Video)
Despite being “kicked out of school,” Jamie Oliver has successfully completed filming season 2 of his Food Revolution show. After the Los Angeles Unified School District refused to let him into any of their cafeterias, Oliver, being the feather ruffling genius that he is, continued his mission of revamping diets of some of the poorest families in the city with his mobile food truck and other antics.
Will it work? It probably won’t be easy.
As one woman in the preview mentions, “It is easier to get a gun, crack, or a prostitute in a lot of areas in Los Angeles before you can get a tomato.”
