Comments Off on Blair River “Heart Attack Grill” Spokesman Dies (Video)
Blair River, the spokesman for Heart Attack Grill, a restaurant known for its unhealthy, super-sized fatty meals like the Quadruple Bypass Burger and Flatliner Fries, has died at the age of 29.
Some are pointing a finger to flu or pneumonia as the reason for River’s death.
According to some experts, his weight–575 pounds–may have played a factor in him succumbing to the virus. Yes, along with high blood pressure and heart disease, washing down fries cooked in pure lard with the butterfat shake may prevent some from fighting off what simply throws everyone else in bed for a week or two.
Comments Off on Olivia Newton-John “Livwise” Vegetarian Friendly Cookbook
Vegetarian fans of Olivia Newton-John were disappointed to learn she had started eating grilled chicken and fish because she thought that action would alleviate anemia. Olivia was once a very outspoken vegetarian and environmentalist, even recording an animal rights song The Promise (The Dolphin Song) in the early 80s.
But Olivia has entered the cookbook world now. And just because she isn’t eating 100% vegetarian doesn’t mean she’s forgotten how to cook it. Her book, Livwise, set for release in May, is very vegetarian friendly.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Caldwell Esselstyn Won’t Touch “V” Word
“If you start to use the v-word, people get nervous. Somehow, there’s a feeling from years ago that vegans are strange. There are so many negative connotations. There’s so much more to talk about apart from a word. It’s about nutrition and improving your health.”
—Dr. Caldwell Essestyn, cardiologist and author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, who saw a trend in the cholesterol levels of his patients who adopted a plant-based diet. Esselstyn recently attended a screening of Forks Over Knives, a film which examines the claim that major diseases that prematurely claim so many lives each year are caused by diet, particularly one heavy in animal products.
Esselstyn is a vegan, but told CNN’s Eatocracy the film’s creators tried to leave it out of the film as much as possible.
Because it’s not about the “V” word. It’s about the “P” word. Go plant power!
Comments Off on Thumbs Up Cat Jimmy Is Tough Critic (Video)
Anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows how picky the little creatures can be.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they gave you the “thumbs down” when they didn’t like the new litter instead of defecating outside the box?
Jimmy is a polydactyl cat, meaning he has a congenital physical anomaly that causes more than the usual number of toes on his paws. You may find more cats like him on the East Coast of the United States or in South West England.
Jimmy is one opinionated cat who puts the movie critics to shame.
We bet Jimmy gives thumbs up to spaying and neutering, shelter adoption and lots of love. Thumbs down to buying pets from shops and that annoying dog next door that jumps over the fence just to bark at him and poop in yard.
