With so many advancements in warm, winter-wear technology and good looking faux furs out there, why would a designer use the real thing?
It’s something that boggles the mind of vegetarian actress Alyssa Milano.
“I’m not sure I understand, how in this day & age, some designers still use real fur in their collections,” Milano wrote on her Twitter account. “I mean, really?”
As a fashion designer herself, Milano knows how to be both chic and cruel-free.
She has a line of women’s sportswear called Fandalia that features tops, hoodies, jackets and pants with logos and designs that show support for major NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA sports teams.
Comments Off on Kathy Freston “Good Morning America” Visit Brings Vegan Dishes (Video)
Kathy Freston "Veganist"
Kathy Freston made an appearance on “Good Morning America” and shared some of her favorite comfort meals cooked vegan style!
Mock versions of chicken dinners, pastas with meatballs and ice cream are good ways for people to make the transition to a vegan diet, Freston says.
“Take out eating one animal at a time and replace it with the vegan meal that looks like the traditional favorite food and just lean into it. You don’t have to make the change overnight but just gradually move toward vegan food.”
Freston tantalizes Robin Roberts‘ taste buds with vegan Chicken Parmesan, spaghetti bolognese, chicken nuggets and ice cream made from coconut and soy milk. With selections like these, it may be tempting to ditch the whole “gradual” movement and dive right in.
Seitan and soy chicken fingers every night anyone?

Just because you aren’t a druggie, doesn’t mean you won’t test positive. It’s all about association and the cows you lock lips with could bring you down.
Contador had always maintained he didn’t ingest the performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol. And there’s strong evidence the burgers and steak he ate could have been the source.

Norton has been active with WildAid, a group that’s been tracking the shark fin trade for years and is trying to reduce the demand for shark fins internationally.

Japan has suspended whaling in the Antarctic until further notice due to the extensive actions performed by anti-whaling activists, Sea Shepherd.
Sea Shepherd sails the seas where whalers hunt and uses tactics such as throwing rancid butter on the whaling ships in an attempt to slow down and stop whaling. These protests are the basis for the popular Animal Planet show, Whale Wars.
The hunt was halted on February 10th, but this isn’t the first year Sea Shepherd has thwarted the performance of whalers.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph
“Really the thing is to understand that this lifestyle is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. You want to make the changes that you will stay with your whole life. You know, go to the Red Bamboos out there that give you the types of food where it’s transitioning you away from the meat and dairy.
