Comments Off on “Sesame Street” Cookie Monster Eats Less Cookies, No Yoga Yet
Sesame Street keeps up with the times, and although a children’s television show, isn’t afraid to touch on the dark side of things, such as war and parents being deployed through the military.
The issue of childhood obesity is a dark war, and Cookie Monster has stepped up to the plate of responsibility by eating more nutritious snacks like apples and kale.
“We are doing a lot of work on what we call Healthy Habits for Life, which focuses on simple messages like ‘sometimes foods,’ ” said Gary Knell, president and CEO of Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind the show, to Alibi. “It’s a tool to try to promote healthier eating. So a mom in Albuquerque can tell her kid, Look, even the Cookie Monster can’t eat cookies all the time.”
A cooking eating in moderation Cookie Monster is a good start, considering there are so many other programs aimed at children that are constantly displaying ads for less than nutritional food.
One study done with three television networks, PBS, Disney, and Nickelodeon, found in 130 food-related ads in about 100 hours of preschool programming, more than half were geared towards school children and most promoted sugary cereals and fast food.
But make no mistake he’s still not Veggie Monster. Nor is he Yoga Monster either.
” ‘Saturday Night Live’ accused us of making him the Pilates Monster,” Knell said.
Comments Off on Emily Deschanel “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” “Bones” 100 Episode (Video)
Emily Deschanel was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to celebrate Bones 100th episode, which will air tonight on Fox at 8/7C.
To celebrate the big centennial, the cast was served a half Styrofoam, half real cake, which the vegan for 17 years Deschanel had to pass on and opt for cupcakes instead.
“I watched a documentary called “Diet For A New America,” Deschanel said, when Ellen DeGeneres asked her what made her go vegan.
Attending a progressive school, the film, which is based on the book with the same title by John Robbins, was part of the curriculum.
Sounds like some taxpaying parents got their money’s worth in education!
Comments Off on Alicia Silverstone Tip For Eating Beans Without The Gas
Alicia Silverstone has the advice you need to enjoy beans without the gas or a certain supplement that’s over the counter to help get rid of gas, but last time you checked contained gelatin in the capsule.
“Soak the beans overnight, and then cook them with a small piece of kombu, a Japanese seaweed. When you bring the beans to a boil, remove all the white foam at the top–that should remove all the gas.”
If you’ve tried this technique before, please chime in and tell everyone how it worked for you–and anyone else within a few feet of you while your system was digesting.
Comments Off on NBC “Green Week” Lands “Millionaire Matchmaker” Non Eco First Date
During the week of April 19, viewers watching programming on NBC Universal networks should expect to see more recycling, more lights out and hopefully less meat at the dinner table.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Green weeks take place on some 40 NBC Universal outlets in April and November, and an upcoming episode on Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker will feature a 39 year old eco friendly clothing line exec go into range after his blind date orders meat.
How did this chick get past Patty Stanger’s people during screening?
Stanger’s assistant, Chelsea Autumn, claims her mother bakes the best vegan cookies in the world that she occasionally brings in for the staff.
Hope this eco tycoon got a dozen or so of these after that horrible experience with bachelorette beefy.
Comments Off on “Gristle” Tale Of Two Editors–Moby And Miyun Park Differing Views
Miyun Park and Moby
Together at last!
Well, not really, but the editors of Gristle, Moby and Miyun Park answered a few short questions via email and their publicist to Washington City Paper.
While many previous interviews in the media have been made with only Moby, Miyun offers an additional perspective, one that hints her goal is to get everyone thinking about factory farming but not necessarily going vegetarian.
Take for example, the creatively worded question of “Gustatory preferences aside, is there any good reason for wealthy urbanites in industrialized nations to eat meat?”
Moby’s Answer:
Objectively, I cannot think of a good reason to eat meat — wealthy urbanite or not. It is an inefficient use of resources and more often than not, it leads to obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Miyun’s Answer:
There is certainly no reason for anyone to support industrialized animal production and there is no reason for farmers themselves to support these intrusive systems. I encourage everyone to make informed choices at every meal.
Similarly, while Miyun applauds the work of Temple Grandin for easing the stress of slaughter animals, Moby considers the question “tricky” because although less suffering is desirable, a world where animals aren’t used for food period is his ultimate dream.
The actress recently cohosted a celebration for the brand at Saks Fifth Avenue with Ron Frasch, Matteo Marzotto and Virginia Smith, where she told WWD, “I would be very happy to be their international spokesman.”
Ginnifer obtained her custom made pair of vegan boots from the company, so she if comes on board, let’s hope her presence encourages more cruelty-free options for Vionnet fans.

Comments Off on Lea Michele “Glee” Star PETA Anti Fur Ad (Video)
Glee star Lea Michele has recorded a new PSA for PETA on the topic of fur.
Shot on the scene of a high school hallway, Michele says in the video, “Everyone wants to fit in and feel like they belong. But sometimes you have to take a stand and step away from the crowd….With so many fashionable, cruelty-free options available, there’s really no excuse for joining a club that wears someone else’s coat.”
“I do not eat meat. And after reading that book it completely changed my mind about the dairy industry as well,” Michele reveals in a separate Q & A session that can be viewed here.
