“The heroes of my book are small-scale family farmers. They tend to be responsible people who leave the Earth in better condition than they found it, know their animals as individuals and treat them with as much compassion as a farmer can.”
Comments Off on Simon Cowell Records WSPA “Animals Matter To Me” Video
Simon Cowell has recorded a video for the World Society for the Protection of Animals for their “Animals Matter To Me” campaign.
The WSPA is calling on all governments to agree to what is known as the Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare, which would recognize animals suffer and feel pain.
“I think animals deserve more protection,” Simon says in the video. “I don’t understand how anybody can get pleasure from hunting or killing animals.”
Comments Off on Sarah Silverman–Marriage Like Meat, Gross And Crazy
Hilarious comedian Sarah Silverman has a new man in her life, Alec Sulkin, who she became involved with after stalking, or, uh, following him on Twitter.
“I wrote him a note that said, ‘You’re funny,’ ” she said, according to People. “When we finally met, he came over to my place, walked in the door, put out his hand and said, ‘Hi, I’m Alec.’ We’ve spent every day together since.”
Although she has nothing but kind words to say about the relationship, Silverman warns never to mention the “M” word to her.
“It’s just not for me,” she says about marriage. “I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and f***ing crazy. It’s this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don’t have to do anymore.”
Does marriage also come with increasing your risk of gaining weight in the abdomen, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and havoc on the environment?
Sounds like Silverman is pretty open to other lifestyles, as long as no one’s imposing one on her.
The next time you invite Silverman to a party, you can bring your married couples. But don’t forget your civil unions, LTRs and soley egg/sperm donor partnerships.

Comments Off on Jennie Garth Says Make Veggies A Family Affair
Ever since partnering with Veggie Central, a program designed to teach parents how to incorporate vegetables into their children’s diets, Jennie Garth has been sharing tips for sneaking in those greens, oranges, reds and every vegetable color imaginable onto the plate.
One of Garth’s latest tips she shares with Fox is about getting the entire family to eat better.
“Participation leads to anticipation, so have children help in the kitchen as a way to spend time as a family as well as have them involved and interested in what they will eat.”
What are you waiting for?

Comments Off on Eva Longoria Shares Guacamole Recipe
Eva Longoria has shared a recipe for guacamole with Energy Times that includes all the basic ingredients of the rich, green whip, along with some tips from Longoria on what NOT to put in your guac.
“There are a lot of things that people put in guac that really do not belong there,” Longoria said. “Garlic does not belong in guac; mayonnaise does not belong in guac.”
Longoria prefers Serrano peppers over jalapenos and says save the lime juice for dishes like pico de gallo or salsa picante.
Whip together the following ingredients for your next Desperate Housewives television night.
8 large ripe avocados
2 large tomatoes (diced)

Comments Off on Bob Barker–PETA Most Effective, Productive Animal Group (Video)
Last week, Bob Barker cut the red ribbon at the ceremony to celebrate PETA establishing their Los Angeles location.
Barker donated $2.5 million to help get the building started, and PETA is looking for a few more (million) dollars to create the best environment for their California headquarters.
“I think PETA is the most effective and most productive of all animal rights or animal welfare groups in the world. And no job is too small or too big.”
Sounds like Barker helped make an enormous task more manageable.
