About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’
Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.
Stella received the award for both her clothing enterprise and her work as a vegetarian and animal activist.
“I’ve never really paused,” she told Glamour. “If I had time to stop and think about what I was doing, I might have run for the hills!”
Glamour cites Stella as refusing to use leather and fur in her designs long before green and ethical became chic.
Other women of the year include Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Jane Aronson of Worldwide Orphans Foundation; journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee held captive by North Korea and released; Marissa Mayer of Google; the One Million Signatures Campaign that calls for an end to gender inequality in Iran; comedian Amy Poehler; Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; singer Rihanna; California First Lady Maria Shriver and tennis athlete Serena Williams.
“They do an Adopt a Turkey day — rather than slaughter a turkey you adopt a turkey and feed it, and they have a nice, big vegan dinner too.”
Animal Acres is home to chickens, cows, pigs and all sorts of critters, but did you know they can also pronounce you husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife).
That’s right, there’s no need for Vegas, because you can get married at Animal Acres and receive the assistance of their staff for set up and clean up, recommendation for vegan caterers and even a sanctuary tour.
If you choose the goat to be the best man, they cannot mediate family disputes.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that makes us nervous because Gwyneth Paltrow is probably refining her turkey patty recipes in her otherwise pretty much vegetarian household.
However, Gwyneth is reportedly learning about the effects of the food we eat and the environment, so maybe she will rethink her decision to celebrate with birds that are usually factory farmed and killed in the most painful manner.
How is Gwyneth becoming educated?
Through porn.
From her website, Goop.com (the “SEE” section if you’re into following her ridiculous Goopy plan):
“For comic relief, Green Porno on Sundance Channel is now in its third season of deadpan puppet shows by Isabella Rossellini. I’ve learned a lot more than I want to about reproduction in the animal and insect kingdoms. This season, the third so far, has an especially eco-friendly and equally hilarious bent, showing, in the simplest of terms, where the fish we eat come from and the effect mass fishing has on the environment.”
If you’ve ever wondered how creatures get it on, Isabella gives you all the sexy details, dressing up in costume to reenact the “act.”
Why rent a movie in the adult section when you stay at home with yourself and Isabella?
As Gwyneth stated, Season 3 touches on farmed ocean life and overfishing.
“I took you to Best Buy, you took me home to meet your Mom and Dad
Your Mom cooked meatloaf even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team”
We’re wondering if Cuomo sat quietly like a veggie pus and actually ate meat during a date with an omnivore before.
All we can hope for is during the next dinner date, the “If you’re wondering,” guy made an announcement he’d just turned vegetarian.
And that this flying dog voluntarily played hurdle track star for the cover.
Raditutde features a singing collaboration with Lil Wayne (Can’t Stop) and songwriting input from The All American Rejects, Jermaine Dupree and Jackknife Lee.
It’s no secret eating healthy isn’t always cheap, but when you compare the cost of good produce now to cardiac problems and other food related diseases later in life, you’ll find the investment pays off.
Alicia gave some tips on making a healthy, vegan diet work, even if you’re on a budget.
WSJ: Sometimes organic and specialty foods can be more expensive. Do you have any advice for people on a budget?
Alicia: You can do this and this will be cheaper – unless you’re eating at Mc Donald’s everyday. I cant argue with that, cause that’s just cheap. I think it can be a lot cheaper because steak and meat are really expensive. When you start shopping at a local farmer’s market, the food is really inexpensive because it’s in season. At the end of the day, after you take away all of the nasty foods and add the good foods, your grocery bill will level out.
“Nasty” foods being processed, sugar filled-usually things that are already prepared, thus costing more money anyway.
Comments Off on Ginnifer Goodwin “Adopt-A-Turkey” “Farm Sanctuary” PSA (Video)
Ginnifer Goodwin is showing some Big Love for her turkey co-star in this Farm Sanctuary ad for their Adopt-A-Turkey Program.
“Turkeys are smart, friendly animals,” Ginnifer begins. “Sadly, millions are killed and eaten every Thanksgiving. This year, celebrate the holiday by saving a life.”
Farm Sanctuary’s turkey adoption program is only a one time donation of $25 and will cover the cost of letting one turkey live happy and free on the sanctuary grounds.
You can also purchase gift certificates for friends and family.
For more information, visit adoptaturkey.org or call 1-888-SPONSOR.
Loni Love is a comedian and actress who frequently appears on Chelsea Handler‘s show, Chelsea Lately, during The Roundtable, which is a segment that discusses events going on in pop culture.
Recently, the conversation at The Roundtable turned to making a joke about someone eating a pig that was a pet and Loni said, “The nice thing about having a pig as a pet is that when it gets older, you can have bacon.”
Um, no.
What person in their right mind could eat something that has intelligence beyond that of a three year old that they’ve reared and cared for?
We think Chelsea said it best when she jokingly responded she could never raise a pig and eat it because she had “too much respect for Miss Piggy.”
