We’ve already discovered that Steve Wynn has changed his will to include donations to the Humane Society if he should go to that big casino in the sky anytime soon.
Wynn insists he’s nowhere near that point, but still wanted to show his concern for animals.
“I’ve become an animal rights activist. I’m taken care of myself for the rest of my life. So I decided to change my will the last few days in case I croak. I’m not about to, and I’m not planning on that for a long time. But I’ve changed my will to show my concern for animal rights.”
Wynn explained that conditions found in factory farms were some of the motivators to change his diet and will.
Comments Off on “The Early Show” Weatherman Likes Vegan Chocolates He Samples (Video)
Weatherman Dave Price from “The Early Show” got early sweet tooth satisfaction after he sampled an array of chocolate on the show.
Wanting to share the goodness with his family, Price began putting some in his pockets. When he sampled the vegan chocolates, he decided the fam needed to try some of those as well, agreeing with Harry Smith that it melts best in your mouth and “not in your pocket.”
The wonderful thing about chocolate is that the product itself is naturally vegan. Pick a good company that starts with the fair-traded dark deliciousness, sweetens with natural sugar and adds either vegan milk or none at all and you’ve got yourself a good deal.
Plamil Chocolate is a good vegan candidate for you and the family, as it’s organic, vegan and fair-traded. Many of the Endangered Species Dark Chocolates are vegan, organic, gluten-free and ethically traded, with 10% of the profits supporting organizations that help species, humans and both of their habitats.
Comments Off on Barack Obama Eats Vegetarian With India Prime Minister
President Barack Obama has traveled to India to address parliament members on making the nation a permanent member of the U.N.
While he is there, Obama is getting the opportunity to partake in some of the nation’s cultural practices. Prime Minster Manmohan Singh has already served a completely vegetarian dinner to the president of the United States in his home in New Delhi.
Film maker Danny Boyle once said India was “vegetarian nation” and statistics compiled by government groups and other organizations back his description.
[picappgallerysingle id=”9748535″]People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has released its list of the most vegetarian friendly NFL stadiums.
There’s no excuse for DeSean Jackson grabbing a Philadelphia cheesesteak after the game, when he can take advantage of other high protein manly foods at the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field like, “mock-steak sandwiches, faux-chicken sandwiches, veggie dogs, and veggie burgers.”
Kucinich is such a good political talker, he was able to persuade Representative Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), the head of the Committee on House Administration, to put vegan options on the menu at the cafeteria during Congress’ sessions.
Here’s hoping he wins plenty of votes for the diet when the book is released.
Comments Off on Pamela Anderson Urges Israel To Ban Fur
Pamela Anderson would like to meet with Jewish leaders in Israel to persuade them to ban the use of fur in traditional Hasic headwear, reports E! online.
Anderson is visiting the country as a guest judge for its version of “Dancing With The Stars.”
While stating that Israel was a “progressive nation” and an “example for the rest of the world,” the former Baywatch actresses said it’s time for a change when it comes to wearing animals to represent one’s sect.
“It’s almost 2011. There are so many alternatives to things,” she said. “We can be compassionate in our choices.”
A bill that would potentially restrict the use of fur in headwear has been placed on hold due to a large percentage of voters being Hasidic. But some anti-fur organizations have found a large majority of the Israeli public would like to do away with fur completely.
