Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–“Nikita” Star Maggie Q Feels Better Than Ever
“I’ve never felt better in my life, ever. In terms of consciousness, what benefits our body and benefits animal welfare also benefits the planet. It’s all connected.”
—Maggie Q, actress in the CW series “Nikita,” who’s using her spotlight as a headliner in a major TV show to discuss her passion for the vegetarian lifestyle and animal rights.

Comments Off on Lea Michele Shares Vegan Cupcake Secret With “Glee” Cast
Lea Michele‘s cast mate on Glee, Chris Colfer, joked about putting meat in one of her vegetarian dishes. Totally NOT funny, but the joke is on him and the rest of the cast because Michele once secretly gave the guys (and gals) on the set some cupcakes without telling them they were animal-free.
“I had vegan cupcakes on my birthday,” Michele said at PETA’s 30th Anniversary Gala. “Once you eat a vegan cupcake–I once put out vegan cupcakes for the whole crew and didn’t tell them that they were vegan. And they were like, those are the best cupcakes I ever had. And then the next day I was like ‘They were vegan. See, you can eat vegan food.'”

In response to criticism from animal rights activists for wearing a meat bikini and meat dress, Lady Gaga has threatened to wear tofu to make the vegetarians mad. Or so she thinks it will.
During a performance in Philadelphia, Gaga said, “What’s everyone’s big problem with my meat dress?”
“Haven’t they seen me wear leather? Next time, I’ll wear a tofu dress and the soy milk police will come after me.”
Actually the soy milk police will probably give Gaga a key to the city if she wears soy clothing, given the fact it’s cruelty-free and eco-friendly.

Comments Off on Facebook Employees’ Cafeteria Options–Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free
Like other successful tech companies, Facebook provides its employees with deliciously good food perks. Josef Desimone, a former chef at Google, leads the food operations and says because he makes people so happy at work, he’s like “Santa Claus with knives.”
That sounds creepy, but after learning about the vegetarian, vegan and sustainable choices Mark Zuckerberg‘s subordinates get for free (yes, that’s three meals a day), we’ve come to the conclusion that knife-wielding Santa gives good little vegs all they ask for year round.
Employees may start the day with vegan breakfast waffles.

Comments Off on Charlotte Ross Shares Her Dreams For Animals–Better Farming, Adoption
Charlotte Ross was in attendance at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala, but the NYPD Blue actress supports several other animal rights and other organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States and the Jane Goodall Institute.
Ross shared with Celebrity Baby Scoop that her dreams are to have better conditions for farm animals and have more shelter animals adopted instead of euthanized.
“Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, is not the issue. My fight is for all animals to have a very basic and fundamental right which is to live a healthy and torture-free life. To let animals ‘live’ in crammed cages where they can’t move, turn around or feel the sun is inhumane. And, many facilities don’t put their very sick or dying animals out of their misery but, instead let them die a slow, painful death and then have the nerve to throw it on our dinner plates. These farming practices should be outlawed.”
