Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Kristen Bell Garbage Disposal Salad
“If I’m home, it’s ‘Garbage Disposal Salad.’ It’s my most made meal that my mom taught me to do when I was in high school.” As the name states, there’s everything in there from greens, cucumbers and spinach to blueberries, grapes, black beans and cashews: “anything that gives it, for lack of a better word, a ‘meaty’ texture. So you don’t feel like you’re eating a salad.”
The seven bulls were present to recreate a scene for Pamplona’s running of the bulls.
The animals were on the loose for half and hour and injured two women during their joyride through Spain.
PETA took the opportunity to write to Cruise, urging him to influence producers of the show to reconsider using the animals and cutting the scene altogether.
“The Running of the Bulls is an inherently cruel event that causes severe stress and often injury to the animals involved. The bulls’ hooves slip on the pavement as they race frantically, trying to escape the chaos. Sometimes, in their confusion, they bash into doors or the sides of buildings, breaking horns or legs. Human runners and spectators gouge them with sticks or pull their tails. People, too, are injured, gored, or trampled by bulls who are desperate to escape. What awaits the animals that evening in the bullring is even more gut-wrenching. Bulls are repeatedly stabbed and bled to weaken them, and bullfighters sever the animals’ spines while they are fully conscious.”
With the technology we have in the 21st century, who needs live animal for a production anyway?
Comments Off on Annalise Braakensiek Gives “Love Lunch” To Almost Vegetarian Food
Australian model and actress Annalise Braakensiek says health is her number one priority and claims to be a “passionate vegetarian cook.”
She’s started her own organic food delivery service, featuring her recipes, called Love Lunch.
But a closer look at Annalise’s personal culinary creations reveals her favorite meals contain fish, fish and more fish.
“My favourite breakfast is tahini and tomato with fresh rocket from the garden, on organic spelt toast,” Annalise said.
Sounds okay. But here comes the seafood.
“Then for lunch I eat seasonally, so it depends on what’s in. Generally it’s a huge salad, tuna or tofu and Asian greens, or brown rice with vegies, copious amounts of organic green vegies. Plenty of fish. I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat wheat and I don’t eat dairy.”
No meat or dairy?
Annalise could almost be vegan if it weren’t for the flipper.
Not only is eating fish bad for the environment, as many species are on the overfished list, but as the old saying goes, vegetarians aren’t suppose to eat “anything with a face.”
Olympic skater Tai Babilonia recently skated in Rockefeller Ice Skating Rink in New York City to support a PETA “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur,” campaign. Not only does is this woman an incredible beauty and athlete, she’s smart and compassionate to know that wearing fur makes a triple lutz look like a triple klutz. The rink may be cool, but fur farms and killing an animal for fashion is colder than ice. Great job, Tai! Check out other photos below.
Kristen has been a vegetarian since age 11, and has toyed with veganism at some points in her life.
Growing up, she would only eat if her dog was sitting by her side.
Could that be why she couldn’t force herself to eat animals?
“[I] never liked the look, taste or smell of meat,” Kristen said. “My mom tried to disguise it but I just was not having any of it. When I discovered what vegetarianism was, I claimed to be one and my mom was very supportive.”
Kristen recognizes that going vegetarian doesn’t mean going on a cheese and mayo sandwich diet. You gotta work to eat healthy sometimes!
“A lot of vegetarians just eat bread and pasta and don’t realize that iron, zinc and magnesium need to be replaced. I take supplements but I also find that I have a very well- balanced diet.”
And this chick isn’t afraid of real food. She eats dessert three times a day!
“Yes, even after breakfast! I make chocolate-covered strawberries a lot because it’s a good halfway point. You’re getting fruit, which is great, but you’re also smothering them in chocolate.”

After an evening of drinking, Brian hits another dog, but no one cares.
In disgust, Brian starts the Quahog Animal Equal Rights League, with the intention of teaming up with a bigger animal rights organization in the future.

If only all dogs could talk like Brian.
Watch the clip above for the full episode to learn why the dog at the ice cream shop was tied up to begin with.

Comments Off on Jonathan Safran Foer–Vegetarian Stereotype Is Caring Person

If you ever get tired of hearing people describe what they think the stereotypical vegetarian is, take heart in knowing best selling author Jonathan Safran Foer has a great counter argument.
Vegetarianism is about caring, Jonathan insists.
And regardless of race, gender, geographic location or religious affiliation, most people really do care.
EXPRESS: And those words are so caught up in issues of identity and lifestyle. If you’re a vegetarian, it means you a certain type of person…
FOER: But caring about it makes you every sort of person. I’m not saying that as an exaggeration. Ninety-six percent of Americans think animals deserve legal protection, which is a radical statistic if you think about it. That means if you don’t care, you are way on the margins of society. It’s not Berkeley, it’s Middle America. It’s very Christian, very Judeo-Christian, and Muslim to worry about dominion, to worry about stewardship. Just mainstream values. If at my readings I could have had a mini factory farm up there with me, people would call the cops. People would leave. Nobody is okay with it in my experience, and I wish the conversation could reflect that instead of asking if you think it’s right or wrong to eat meat, which is actually a totally unimportant question. The answer to that question doesn’t really matter, given the world we live in. I don’t even know my answer to that question.
So, if most people care, how do we get more of them to go veg?

Comments Off on Morrissey Stella McCartney Shoe Line
The gossip sites must have a shoe fetish this month.
Not long ago, a rumor was going around the web that Stella McCartney and Leona Lewis were collaborating to create a vegan shoe line.
The story smelled worse than sweaty feet and proved to be false.
Now, the word is that Morrissey and Stella are collaborating to create a leather free shoe.
“I’m working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I’m really excited about,” McCartney told Mail Online. “We are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year.”
One would think if Morrissey were involved in this project, Stella would be designing men’s shoes, which would make vegan men around the world rejoice.
But judging from the track record of previous shoe stories from the tabloids…
We’ll believe it when we see it.
In the meantime, check out some athletic, casual and formal male vegan shoes available at alternativeoutfitters.com.
