The former fish eating vegetarian Miley Cyrus has been caught once again professing her love for greasy fast food.
A source claimed that while Miley was staying in a hotel recently, she ordered enough animal laden products to clog every fan’s arteries. Life and Style reported:
“She sent out for… cheese fries and seven burgers. She had two Double Takes with double the meat, two Atomic Burgers with chili and jalapeños, two Cheeez Please Burgers and a classic burger with secret sauce.”
Miley was also said to have washed this all down with an Oreo milkshake.
It’s probably a safe bet that Miley only ate one of the burgers she ordered, while her crew gobbled up the rest.
But even so, couldn’t Miley have held the beef and sent for some whole wheat pasta and salad instead?
Her insatiable appetite for fast food is what caused Miley’s vegetarian downfall to begin with.
“I like fried food,” she had said. “I wasn’t able to give up the meat. I want a steak or a burger from McDonald’s every once in a while. A double-double is just way too good. I’ve still got to eat. I’ve got the rest of my life to stay healthy.”

The Mirror reports that several celebrities are jumping on the faux fur bandwagon and Alexa Chung may be the trendsetter to thank, due to her taking an interest in faux leopard print fur.
Thank goodness Alexa’s into not wearing the hide of animals, even if they are the animals that she hates.
But should vegetarians and even meat eating animal lovers be sporting fake fur?
Respect For Animals representatives insist that wearing faux fur will, “keep alive the idea that wearing fur is acceptable and fashionable, when it is neither”.
Perhaps faux wearing folks should come with a name tag that reads, “I’m a phony.”

Comments Off on Dennis Kucinich Pamela Anderson–Who Would You (Politics Edition)
Two famous vegs really want to change the way government is ran.
Okay, so one is already in politics and the other is just a wannabe.
If Dennis Kucinich had his way, everyone would be forced to eat vegan brownies.
Pamela Anderson would be a little less militant, just calling for a Be A Veggie For A Day campaign and letting her constituents choose which plant based items to eat.
Hmm…bet most people would choose to eat brownies but…who would you rather do…

Comments Off on Barack Obama Administration Earns B- On Animal Protection
The Humane Society of the United States gave the Barack Obama‘s administration a B- for its various steps toward animal protection, either from upholding current laws or passing new measures.
Some points of interest to animal welfare advocates:
The Postal Service may ban shipment of publications that will appeal to animal fighters, regardless of rain, sleet or snow, thanks to a proposed rule to comply more with the Animal Protection Act.
The Department of Justice defended the Cruelty Depictions Law before the Supreme Court. This law bans the commercial sale of videos depicting cruelty to animals.
And the Environmental Protection Agency revised safety requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This saved dogs from being the subjects of a study on the effects of feeding pesticides to determine the effects on human health.
Of course, the administration didn’t earn a 4.0, so obviously there were disappointments.
The USDA purchased meat for schools in the U.S. that had lower safety standards and underwent less rigorous testing than meat served in restaurants.
Making vegetarian food a standard option in schools is needed now more than ever.
Take a complete look at the HSUS report card to see how the administration scored in other areas.

Kate Hudson recently spent the day with dear ol’ mom Goldie Hawn in Aspen, Colorado.
Is this like mother, like daughter, keeping fur in the family?
Goldie looks pretty fake, but Hudson…not so sure.
You would think that after spending the evening at compassionate vegetarian designer Stella McCartney‘s store for New York’s Fashion Night Out, Hudson would have learned a thing or two.
If Kate’s fur coat is real, she’d be locked out from Night Out if Stella had anything to do with it.
What do you think?
Is Kate fur real?
Or is she faking it?
(And will A-Rod ever come back to her?)

Comments Off on Juliette Lewis Chrissie Hynde “The Hour” Hosts Favorite Memories
Telvision hosts of The Hour Michelle McManus and Stephen Jardine summed up some of their favorite moments from the show during 2009.
McManus said hosting musician Juliette Lewis was one of her most memorable episodes and she was rewarded with vegetarian haggis in a Scottish goodie bag.
Jardine’s favorite interview was with none other than vegan activist and musician Chrissie Hynde.
The Hour returns to television January 4 2010.
If more moments like Juliette and Chrissie occur next year, producers might have to rename it The Hour of Veg Love.

Comments Off on Dr. Neal Barnard New Year’s Resolution Tip–Use The V Word
Dr. Neal Barnard
Ugh!
Who wants to think about New Year’s Resolutions before the holiday season is over?
Unfortunately, if you’ve been on the Thanksgiving to Christmas diet and stuffing yourself with every cookie invented, it may be time to start thinking how to drop the 10 pounds even vegan desserts will ultimately put on the belly.
Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, has offered a few tips at the Huffington Post and of course the pres of an organization that promotes a vegan diet recommends the V word.
“Abundant research has shown that the more vegetarian meals people eat, the easier time they have maintaining a healthy weight. And the most powerful meals are vegan. In May, researchers at Loma Linda University published results of a study of nearly 61,000 Americans. Vegans were the thinnest, meat-eaters were the heaviest, and fish-eaters and ovo-lacto-vegetarians were between the two. People who switch to a vegan diet typically lose about a pound a week–and this prescription for weight loss doesn’t require portion control or calorie-counting. A meatless diet also helps reduce the risk of heart disease, type two diabetes, and some cancers.”

Comments Off on Shane Told “Del Taco” Veggie Works Burrito Recommendation

If there is a Del Taco in your area, Shane Told of Silverstein can point you in the right direction for what to order from the menu.
Shane recently Tweeted that the Veggie Works Burrito works quite nicely for a vegetarian–but not a vegan.
Del Taco’s menu states Veggie Works is filled with, “slow cooked beans, plus rice, guacamole, zesty red sauce, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese.”
Del Taco also states it’s “so yummy you’ll want to marry it.”
True, the U.S. has made a lot of progress with human rights, but unfortunately, a union between man or woman and vegetarian burrito has yet to be made legitimate.
