Chester Bennington Linkin Park "Ink Not Mink" PETA
Lead vocalist for Linkin Park and Dead By Sunrise Chester Bennington has bared his decorated pecs in an anti fur ad for PETA, Ink Not Mink.
We’d love to know the stories behind all of Chester’s tattoos and he would like fans to know the story behind fur farms and the fur industry.
“Electrocuting animals, skinning them while they’re alive—these are acts of inhumanity. Because it’s out of sight, it’s usually out of mind for most people, and we need to show our respect for … all creatures of this world.”
Watch the video below for more of Chester’s thoughts on animals.

Just goes to show you don’t learn everything you need in school, because now Jones teaches Thanksgiving cooking classes for vegans.
“I love Thanksgiving,” Jones said. “It’s the harvest month. You have such wonderful harvest. Squash, different nuts are coming into season, things of that nature — things that are great, like fresh cranberry.”
“If you concentrate on a side dish, and pack it full of flavor, you don’t miss the animal protein,” Jones said.
Jones taught his students to make dishes such as vegetable pot pie with tofu, raw honey cheesecake bars, and wild green salad with a tofu ricotta cheese.
This Thanksgiving, Jones plans to make a sweet potato, leek, soy mozzarella and thyme au gratin.
“Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday,” Waters said. “I always spend it with friends, and vegetarian or not, everyone feels comfortable at the table. I always think less is more and prefer simple side dishes.”
Alice isn’t kidding about simplicity.
The Roasted Butternut Squash, for example, only has 3 ingredients.

Comments Off on Woody Harrelson “The Messenger” Brings Ben Foster Vegan Food
Woody Harrelson has a reputation for making people walk the vegan walk while filming movies.
And just as Woody got some cast members of Zombieland to eat veg on the set, he also convinced his co-star Ben Foster to give up meat and dairy on the set of The Messenger.
Foster told WENN:
“He walks the walk… He did drag me, begrudgingly, to several vegan restaurants, and I did enjoy them very much. I felt like I had more energy and wasn’t as foggy after eating, let’s say, a really killer steak.”
We assume he was appreciative of this cultural eating expansion, given the fact he gave Woody a big kiss in this photo.
“But he’s not evangelical about it. He lives by his routine… If someone’s interested, he has an encyclopedic knowledge on the subject and, if we talked about foods, he’ll share a point of view, but he’s not looking for converts.”
Unfortunately, Foster didn’t quite get The Messenger Woody was trying to give him and isn’t ready to give up meat yet.
“I like a healthy dose of blood in my diet,” Foster added.
In the meantime, take a look at Eva’s new PSA against fur.
“I didn’t know how animals were killed for fur,” Eva says. “And I even wore fur once myself. But when I learned how cruel the fur industry is and that there were no laws protecting these animals, I swore that I’d never wear it again.”
Comments Off on Heather Mills Beef With Walkers Crisps
There’s nothing worse than finding out your favorite snack isn’t all that vegan or vegetarian because the company has changed the recipe.
Heather Mills was less than pleased after discovering Walkers Crisps added dried milk to its salt and vinegar chips.
During a recent Tweet, Heather said:
“Just got off the train, most disappointed as Walkers salt and vinegar crisps have now added dried milk as an ingredient, yet they want to reduce their carbon footprint.”
“Never mind, eliminate lactose intolerant nibblers as well [as] vegans, does anyone know anyone at Walkers????”
Right on, Heather.
It’s always interesting to learn that companies put such non veg ingredients in seemingly vegetarian items.
Like beef broth in vegetable soup.
C’mon, now.
Do we really need to add animal ingredients to something so pure, delicious and healthy?
When it comes to veg food, manufacturers should follow the KISS policy–Keep It Simple Stupid.
