Comments Off on “Meat Is For Pussies”–Why John Joseph Chose The “P” Word
"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph
So much discussion has been generated by John Joseph‘s latest book, Meat Is For Pussies, on his choice of words for the title, especially in the form of some females taking offense.
Not looking to offend at all, perhaps Joseph’s message would have been clearer if he used the term “pussy-dependent,” (note: new category to be added to the DSM in the future)
Joseph said to Punk News, “The title might suggest that I am being judgmental, but what the title is really saying is that if you continue to live the lifestyle that most Americans are living, then that lifestyle will turn you into a pussy dependent on prescription drug companies. Pharmaceutical companies and food companies look at you as revenue from when you live to when you die. They want you to get sick. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Joseph is also working on a cookbook for later release. Might we suggest the title, “Cooking Meat is for the Pussy Whipped?”

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Emily Deschanel Eco Fashion Favorites
“I love Loyale! I wear their tops a lot, and they have great everyday pieces, which I just adore. Bahar Shahpar has beautiful skirts and dresses. Other labels I like are Organic by John Patrick (another great label for everyday pieces), Linda Loudermilk (the mother of green design can be very inventive), and EcoSkin for casual dresses. For shoes, I love Beyond Skin, they have a wonderfully huge selection of shoes, I specifically love the vintage-y looking pieces. Olsenhaus is a new line I’m just loving. I’m obsessed with the holographic shoes! And then of course, Stella McCartney is the first big designer not to use leather. Her shoes are expensive but so worth it. They’re very well-made. Also, Cri de Coeur makes some great boots.”

Comments Off on Dennis Kucinich “Right To Know” GMO Bill Motivated By Alfalfa Seed Ruling
Ohio representative Dennis Kucinich has introduced three bills meant to educate and protect from the presence of genetically modified organisms in a product, H.R. 5577–The Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act, H.R. 5578–Genetically Engineered Safety Act and H.R. 5579–Genetically Engineered Technology Farmer Protection Act.
H.R. 5577 would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Federal Meat Inspection Act, and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to require any food containing GMOs or produced with genetically engineered material be labeled accordingly. H.R. 5578 would prohibit the open air cultivation of genetically engineered pharmaceutical or industrial crops, while H.R. 5579 would provide economical protection for farmers that may be harmed from genetically engineered seeds, plants or animals.

Comments Off on Gabe Saporta Wins PETA2 Sexiest Vegetarian Alive 2010
Gabe Saporta can now proudly tell mom he’s one of the sexiest vegetarians alive.
The singer won in the PETA2 male category, with House star Olivia Wilde taking the female win for both PETA2 and PETA.
Last year, Saporta had Tweeted about not winning after being nominated for several years in a row:
“i can’t believe i lost sexiest veggie 3 years in a row! what a horrible disappointment. what ever will i tell my mom?”
Mom Saporta should be proud to have a son who takes a stance against animal cruelty by not only publicly acknowledging his vegetarian diet, but urging fans to avoid fur too.
