Chantelle Houghton PETA
There’s nothing worse than a limp wiener.
Chantelle Houghton agrees and has posed in this PETA ad for vegetarianism that asks, “Eating Meat Got You Down? Fight Impotence. Go Vegetarian.”
Can’t agree more. Those beef and turkey wieners, for example, can’t stand up to the job during an afternoon grill out but Tofurky and Lightlife vegetarian versions–wow, those guys last for hours.
The 2006 Celebrity Big Brother winner has been vegetarian since a kid and stopped consuming dairy after reading the best selling book Skinny Bitch.
If you learn anything about health today guys and gals, it’s that eating saturated fat filled, artery clogging meat may lead to obesity, diabetes and blocking blood flow to the “essential” organs.
Or, as PETA puts it, “What goes on the barbecue has a lot to do with what goes on – or doesn’t go on – in the bedroom.”

Comments Off on “Glee” Lea Michele Carries Burden Of Chicken Fetus On Forehead
Lea Michele as Rachel Berry in "Glee"
Glee is bringing Lea Michele‘s real life characteristics into her Rachel Berry character.
On a recent episode, Rachel is lured into the parking lot by Jesse, and she experiences an onslaught of chicken fetuses to her face, or at least that’s what some chick from rival singing club Vocal Adrenaline says:
“I hear you’re a vegan, Berry. The souls of those poor egg fetuses are all on your conscience now.”
Actually, most eggs from the supermaket are the unfertilized products of a chicken’s reproductive cycle, so Miss Vocal Adrenaline needs to study her biology more between after school practices.
Unless she got them from a free-range farm where the chick and the rooster actually engaged in Hanky Panky. In that case, then, yeah, those poor would have been chickens. Free-range chickens good, killing potential chicks bad. Rachel Berry can’t win for losing.

Comments Off on Daniel Negreanu Barbecue Seitan Impresses Meat Eating Texan
Daniel Negreanu is making veggie converts with his barbecue seitan.
On Twitter, the champion poker player bragged that even a meat loving Texan gave the wheat meat the thumbs up.
“Earlier @texdolly tasted a piece of my Seitan. You know it’s gotta be alright when a BBQ eatin’ Texan says he likes it. Kudos @dnassistant.”
This led to a response from someone who Tweeted, “@realkidpoker stop trying to convert people!” to which Negreanu replied, “@RaSZi ya cause Doyle is totally going Vegan now, right.”
One highly tasty and addictive way to barbecue seitan is to use Dr. Pepper or other similar cola in the sauce (e.g. non high fructose corn syrup soda like Hansen’s). This recipe for Dr. Pepper Barbecue Seitan has you creating seitan from scratch using vital wheat gluten flour, ketchup, hot sauce and soda for the sauce and a spoonful of peanut butter.
Don’t ask why the PB is there, just taste the results and appreciate its place!

Comments Off on PETA Dancing Condoms Promoting Spaying And Neutering In June
You’ve heard what’s on Gene Baur‘s and Farm Sanctuary’s agenda for this month in the realm of animal rights.
Now, the Los Angeles Times talks to Ingrid Newkirk to see what PETA’s plans are in their May in Animal News feature.
Since you’re already a veggie or at least reducing your meat intake, you won’t have to worry about the dancer rubber stopping you on the street with a vegetarian starter kit.
We don’t think there will be vegan, edible condoms in the kit either. Sorry.
When asked what PETA would be up to in June, Newkirk replied:
“A million projects, from promoting spaying and neutering through demonstrations featuring dancing condoms to distributing our free vegetarian/vegan starter kits. But we’ll also definitely be working hard to curb attendance at SeaWorld and at [Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s] shows. Indeed, we’ll continue to expose Ringling by circulating video footage of elephants being routinely beaten as well as photos of the cruel methods that Ringling uses to train baby elephants.”

Performing artist Marina Abramovic recently gave one of her most grueling exhibits, although she did nothing but sit in a chair all day–for over a month!
Abramovic took part in “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present” exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art every day the museum was open for the exhibit, a performance she described to the Wall Street Journal as leaving her “completely destroyed.”
To prepare herself for the routine, Abramovic said she went vegetarian and drank a lot of water.

The vegan musician shares his food adventures in Grub Street New York‘s regular feature where notables divulge every detail of what they’ve eaten in the past week.

Brooke Shields is not making the list of favorite models this week or this year for that matter. It’s bad enough she became a meat eater again after 16 years of being vegetarian, but now she’s getting excited about designing her own custom made fur coat. Earlier this month, she visited Kopenhagen Studio, a creative fur workshop in Kopenhagen to pick the mink hide of her choice.
“Wearing fur may be associated with something grandmotherish. Something you wear when you visit the opera, or if you are a rock star and wears it inside out. But I will advocate that both my generation and the younger generation can wear fur.”
