A San Francisco restaurant has paid tribute to the Beastie Boys in a very veggie manner.
According to San Francisco Weekly, Weird Fish restaurant has an item on the menu that contained a mix of seafood with tomato broth on a sour dough bun called, “B-Boy Bouillabaisse,” named after a song from the 1989 album, Paul’s Boutique.
The dish now comes with a mock salmon, renaming the creation, “B-Boy Veganbaisse.”
Seems fitting, considering Mike D is all into raw and Adam Yauch went organic and vegan after his diagnosis of cancer.
In a “what was she thinking” moment, it’s been discovered she wants to ride a horse as part of her routine for her concerts.
Lewis hasn’t been able to get insurance for the stunt, something that’s preventing her from doing the cowgirl thing while singing “Bleeding Love.”
A source told the UK Daily Star:
“Health-and-safety officials wouldn’t let her ride in the studio without a helmet. A load of lawyers tried to fine-tune the idea, but Leona didn’t want to wear a hard hat. In the end, she had to sign a contract saying she wouldn’t be insured, should she fall off.”
Not only is her safety in jeopardy, but horses and any other animals aren’t fit for the stage full of loud noises, lights and other unpredictable stimuli from the crowd. Animals don’t belong in the entertainment industry, especially in this capacity. It’s a surprise that the vegetarian Leona, who’s a big supporter of animal rights and won’t wear fur or leather, is even considering this.

Lagasse also says kind things about the farmers market and growing your own veggies, beginning his culinary series with the sentence, “I have had a connection with the soil since I was a young boy.”
Alice Waters may soon lose her place as top dog locavore cooking champion.
Called the “El,” Deschanel is said to own it in the recycled black color as well.
Desperate Housewives stars Teri Hathcher and Marcia Cross purchased FEED bags for the entire television series crew. The bags, made from recycled cotton, not only help the environment, but humans too, as each different style of FEED is designed to assist in hunger in various parts of the world.

Comments Off on EMA And Yes To Carrots Give “The Garden Challenge” To Students
The Environmental Media Association and Yes To Carrots teamed up to launch “The Garden Challenge” that encourages students to get acquainted with growing their own produce in a contest where schools competed for a gardening grant.
Students uploaded videos explaining why a garden would be a great addition to their schools.
Hannah thinks a school garden will make students less fearful of vegetables.
“I become a vegetarian when I was 11, but I was always afraid of vegetables,” Hannah said. “It wasn’t until I actually started growing them that I was not afraid to eat them.”
Comments Off on Cloris Leachman Funny Outtakes From Spay/Neuter PSA (Video)
Cloris Leachman‘s funny outtakes from her PSA on spaying and neutering cats and dogs is almost as funny as the actual commercial.
Leachman thinks school children should be taught how to interact with animals as part of the curriculum.
“I think we should teach in our schools how to behave with animals, how to treat them,” the actress says in the video.
If there are biology classes in junior high that want kids to cut up a dead frog, why not teach them how to care for, interact and evaluate behaviors of common pets like cats and dogs and even farm animals?
Brendan Hines recently became a pescatarian who thinks he may one day stop salivating for flipper as well.
“Soon, eventually, I will maybe consider phasing out the fish, but right now it’s the only thing giving me protein,” Hines told MNN.
Unlike Common, the actor who plays Eli Loker, an expert in deception detection in Lie To Me, doesn’t grasp the fact that fish is meat.
Even more insane, why does Hines think these endangered little fishies are the only items that will give him protein? Somebody tell this guy to take on the role of a nutritionist so he can study up for the part!
The UK Vegetarian Society has listed various non-animal sources of protein, mostly vegan, along with the amount of protein in a serving of each source and whether the amount is considered good, fair or poor.
Chickpeas, beans, tofu and lentils rank highest, with brown rice containing a fair amount of protein that might need buffing up with a little stir fry tofu.
They’ve even gone so far as to list combinations you can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner to get the minimum recommended daily allowance.
There are plenty of plant sources of protein. You don’t have to eat fish.
Comments Off on Diane Warren Prefauxs Her Fake Meat Boca Or Quorn
Diane Warren recently told MNN that she loves faux meats, her favorites being Boca Burgers and Quorn Products.
“There are so many great meat substitutes,” the songwriter and vegetarian for 11 years said.
You may already know there are dozens of meat substitutes out there, but unsure of which go best in traditional dishes that call for ground beef.
Suzan Colon from O, The Oprah Magazine appeared on “The Early Show” to introduce the crew to a variety of fake meats and give her input on her favorites.
Burgers, tacos, lasagna and sloppy joes she introduced were all made from a variety of faux meat products, vegetarian and vegan, available at the grocery, with a comparison of the calorie, fat and other nutrition content in the veggie version versus the meat one.
Boca, Yves and Lightlife Smart brands are used.
Here’s how Lightlife Smart Crumbles matched up:
“Despite having no fat, Lightlife was lauded by the O panel for its sumptuous feel in the mouth. Its mild flavor gives it extra versatility, so not only is it a great substitute for a burger, but it can be used instead of beef in lasagna, casseroles, or pasta. Features ready-to-use meatless crumbles.”
