Comments Off on Jonathan Safran Foer Farm Sanctuary Celebration For Turkeys
Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview
Jonathan Safran Foer was the guest of honor at this year’s Farm Sanctuary Celebration for Turkeys.
Jonathan read some parts from his latest book, Eating Animals, and took the time to talk to green gossip website Ecorazzi.
Here are a few thoughts Jonathan gave to Ecorazzi:
On Farm Sanctuary:
Farm Sanctuary was the first place I went when I did my research for this book. I had a really wonderful day. In many ways it established a tone for the rest of my research, which was that these issues all depend on how you tell them—how you present them. It’s not the case that the world needs new values, it just needs a new story—a story that more accurately reflects what’s going on in the world and more directly connects it to who we already are, not who we want to be, just who we already are.
On what famous person he’d like to see go veg this Thanksgiving:
I don’t know if I think of it in quite those terms. Like I was saying, there’s something that seems dichotomist about that—turkey or no turkey. Look, someone like Glenn Beck could not have a turkey and that’s fine, but what I would so strongly prefer is that he had a week-long series about animal agriculture in America. I have no interest in prying a turkey from his hands. Frankly, he could do so much more good in the world then his individual choice.

You learn to crawl before you walk and the latest tabloid news is that Leona Lewis will be collaborating with another vegetarian designer to launch her fashion line before starting one of her own.
According to The Daily Mirror, Leona and Stella McCartney were seen at a charity event together.
“Leona and Stella get on like a house on fire. They met at the recent Children In Need charity show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.”
“They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The line would be very animal friendly.”
Of course, if we had a dollar for every time a British tabloid printed a story that stretched the truth a little…
Judging from the sources, it looks as if Leona and Stella were just having a good chat.
Another source told the media Leona said:
“I’m on a mission. I’d love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable. I think more needs to be available and not so expensive.”
“There’s so much I want to do. I’ve always wanted to have my own fashion line, and that’s something I want to focus on next year.”
Whether or not Leona and Stella are actually doing a fashion line together is questionable.
But based on Leona’s history of goal driven success and love for animals, we’re certain she’ll be at least starting her own.

Suzanne McCabe "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" PETA Ad
Ireland has banned fur farms and as we promised you earlier, Irish model Suzanne McCabe has unveiled an anti-fur ad with PETA.
Posing for both PETA UK and the Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN), Suzanne reminds everyone of the conditions animals on factory farms endure, such as cramped cages and electrocution.
Suzanne was a Miss Universe Ireland finalist and holds a degree in psychology.
Comments Off on Martha Stewart Vegetarian Thanksgiving (Recipe)
Martha Stewart recently featured a vegetarian Thanksgiving episode on her cooking show.
In case you didn’t know, Martha’s daughter, Alexis, has been a longtime veg and activist.
Growing up, Martha and her family raised their own livestock and after Alexis realized the animals on the farm were the same ones on her plate, she decided to veg out.
Could Martha have spent her time crafting these dishes to please Alexis while she was growing up?
Martha’s “Hearty Vegetarian Thanksgiving” menu can be found on her website and features delish sounding recipes like Celery Root, Persimmon, and Swiss Chard “Stuffing”, Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy, and a vegetarian “loaf” featuring beans and nuts.
Email these to the chef in charge of Thanksgiving dinner with your crowd this year and ensure no more “vegetarian” stuffing with chicken broth when you sit down at the table.
Comments Off on Morrissey Insulted By Cursing Hamburger (Video)
Morrissey was recently in Hamburg, Germany when he made a joke during his performance that the residents should be called “Hamburgists” instead of “Hamburgers.”
Morrissey’s so into veg, he just can’t have his fans being called hamburgers, ya know?
Someone in the audience didn’t object to being a Hamburger and yelled, “F*ck you,” to Moz.
Morrissey then replied, “Go. We don’t need you, we don’t need you. You can leave, and you can f*ck yourself.”
The man was then reportedly escorted out the venue.
