Comments Off on Russell Brand Learns The Hard Way About Hidden Ingredients
Russell Brand learned the hard way how not asking for ingredients can turn a vegetarian’s meal sour. Or fishy.
The actor was sampling a dip while dining out when he realized it tasted like something formerly alive in the sea.
“About three days ago was the last time I ate an animal. I was in a restaurant and they have me some dips. One of them was taramosalata. I didn’t know and ate some and it tasted like disgusting fish,” Brand said.

Comments Off on Leilani Munter Favorite Faux Meats And How Fake Meat Flavor Is Created

Leilani Munter explained to the Huffington Post how she fuels up during race time on the track and on the road.
“Carbs are key. I like a hearty pasta with a meat-substitute. Say a Quorn “chicken” breast cut up and sauteed over pasta, lots of veggies from my garden. I eat a lot of high-protein meat-substitutes. MorningStar Farms has great products. It’s SO tasty.”
“I stock up at the grocery store — fresh produce and meat substitutes — and my garden beforehand. The rest of the team might have hotdogs in the garage, I’ll fire up my Tofurky dogs.”
It’s been said that if humans consume plants from the ground that animals raised for food eat, we’d save a lot of energy, land and feed more people. An article at Food Navigator suggests that eating the plant can also directly give you to the taste of meat–as long as there are a few adjustments made in the laboratory.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Anthony Bourdain Says Scare People Into Eating Better
“Personally, I don’t think the “war” against fast food chains can be won on the facts. I think you win it the way elections are too often won: through appealing to the most base fears and prejudices of the lowest common denominator — through propaganda, through scaring the hell out of people. It worked for Bush. It might work for food advocates.”
—Anthony Bourdain, during an interview with CBC News. There’s nothing scarier than polluted waters from factory farm manure runoff and increased risk of heart attack and cancer. Vegetarian and environmental advocates have been trying to scare the chicken wings out of people’s hands for awhile. Any ideas why it’s taking so long to make change?

Comments Off on Carrie Underwood Face Of Olay Skin Products Tested On Animals
When vegetarian celebrities partner with not so vegetarian companies, it’s one of those C & C Music Factory moments: Things That Make You Go Hmmm.
Carrie Underwood is the new face of Olay skin products and according to USA Today, is the first “celebrity ambassador” for the brand.
Olay is owned by Proctor & Gamble, a company, that continues to test a small percentage of its products on animals.
PETA’s Caring Consumer Database lists Olay as a product tested on animals and the UK Times Online says a preservative found in some Olay products, butylparaben, was tested on pregnant rats in the U.S. in 2004.

If you love peanut butter and animals, grab a few jars of the nut butter designed to celebrate People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ 30th anniversary, PeTA Butter.
With a name so quirky, PeTA Butter could almost be interpreted as an April Fools’ post, but these 16 oz. jars that sell for about $5 were crafted by the folks at New York based Peanut Butter & Co, a maker of 10 varieties of peanut butter flavors, each given unique and delicious sounding names like Dark Chocolate Dreams, White Chocolate Wonderful, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and Mighty Maple.
