Taryn Terrell
Two worlds are noticeably missing Taryn Terrell.
Ex Diva Tiffany has dropped being a vegan like the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) cut her from its roster of female wrestlers.
Yes, despite something she worked for three and a half years to accomplish and despite other athletes are thriving on plants, Tiffany felt she had to at least go back to eating organic meat.
You know the story. Blah, blah, something about protein.
Listen to the excuses in an exclusive interview at Diva Dirt.

Comments Off on Sarah Silverman “Killer” Thanksgiving (Video)
Sarah Silverman remembers one of her very first Thanksgivings. Or, as she calls it, “Thankskilling.”
In a story the comedian briefly touches on in her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman’s early turkey moments are recalled in this “Funny or Die” video which illustrates her dad taking her to a turkey farm, Sarah being asked to pick the one she likes the best, only to discover she chose the cutest bird with the greatest personality traits to be sentenced to its head chopped off.
Some children learn sooner than others.
Silverman says killing the turkey is a symbol of America’s “self-righteous heritage” that consists of it killing native Americans, stealing their land and similar acts of gratitude towards others.
“Happy Thanksgiving dummies!” she wishes at the end.

Comments Off on Ellen DeGeneres Vegan Thanksgiving Seitan Roast (Video)
The only thing better than an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving is an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving catered by her personal chef Roberto Martin.
Like she’s done in the past, the daytime talk show host welcomed Martin to her show recently to demonstrate some vegan recipes for the holidays. Martin made a roast from seitan, vegan mushroom gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.
The recipes for the roast, yams, and cheesecake are available from Ellen’s website.
Martin says the pumpkin can easily be substituted for berries for those that don’t find the orange fruit tasty in the cheesecake recipe.
Watch Martin roll and slice a perfectly shaped loaf made with wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs and several spices in the video below.

Comments Off on Wilco Band Organic Coffee Available In December
Wilco Coffee
Need some organic coffee to wash down your “She’s A Jar” Wilco Sky Blue Sandwich Company sandwich?
The Chicago based band Wilco now has an organic coffee named after them in addition to some deli sandwiches, available from their hometown roaster, Intelligentsia.
Organic Ethiopia Sidama Homecho Waeno has a description more passionate that country music lyrics:
“The aromatics of coffee blossom and violet make way for an incredibly graceful and elegant cup. The body has a light and silky quality, like fresh whipped cream, that beautifully compliments the ever-present note of citron, juniper berry and vanilla. As it cools, the cup blossoms into notes of confectioner’s sugar, rosehips, and soft raisin, resonating on a pristine finish with a touch of milk chocolate.”

Comments Off on Beach Boys Mike Love Was Made To Love South Africa Bunny Chow
The last original member of the Beach Boys that still tours, Mike Love, is performing in Durban, South Africa in December and he hopes to take advantage of the food culture in between rehearsals of “I Was Made To Love Her.”
The pescatarian is hoping to try one of Durbin’s famous dishes–bunny chow.
“I’m well aware of Durban’s reputation,” Love said. “And yes, I sure would try one of those bunny chows, with vegetable curry or perhaps fish.”
Bunny Chow is no lettuce and carrot mix. Nor were any rabbits harmed in the making. Rather the dish, which some speculate was created to serve take out items to blacks and other colored people that weren’t allowed to eat inside restaurants during Apartheid, is the original soup in a bowl–a loaf of bread with a hole in it filled with curry. Originally, it was only served with vegetable curry, then meat reared its ugly head into an otherwise hearty and healthy dish.
If you’re missing a Visa for South Africa, here are some simple instructions for making bunny chow in your kitchen.

Comments Off on Vladimir Putin Organizes International Forum On Tiger Conservation
Russia’s Prime Minster Vladimir Putin is known as a big cat lover. He’s recently organized a five day International Forum on Tiger Conservation that commenced on Sunday in St. Petersburg, Russia and involves leaders in conservation trying to solve the problem of saving tigers before they become extinct.
The conference will end with the goal of both saving tigers and increasing their numbers by the year 2022 by getting 13 countries with tiger populations to sign the St. Petersburg Declaration–an affirmation that they will work towards these goals.

“My thing is this – everything has to be able to be done with some kind of commitment and passion, and some reason that isn’t blown out of proportion and taken for granted.”
—Chuck D of Public Enemy during an interview with The Vine. Chuck eats a more sustainable diet by being a fish-eating vegetarian and he also is a human and animal rights activist.
If you follow the pescatarian diet, you should know, scientists have shown fish feel pain too. If you are still comfortable with your decision, please choose seafood wisely, eating only varieties that are not overfished and contain the least amount of unhealthy toxins like mercury.

Comments Off on Pamela Anderson India Visit Increases Non-Leather Seeking Consumers
Pamela Anderson once said, “Leather in India is a huge problem. I narrated a documentary about that ten years ago, and nothing’s changed.”
Maybe that statement was made one reality TV show too soon.
Sources say that since Anderson has taken a stance against leather in India while filming the country’s version of “Big Brother,” there’s been a surge in people asking about non-leather products.
