Comments Off on Michelle Forbes Can’t Believe Animals Are Sacrificed
Michelle Forbes plays the villainous character Maryann Forrester on HBO’s True Blood.
Forbes’ character may do some barbaric things on the show, but according to Forbes, it’s just based on the “moral construct” of her group.
In other words, everybody’s cool with it!
Forbes, a vegetarian, used this example to explain how she can’t believe people are still eating animals, because based on her moral code, they shouldn’t be.
“I do believe that she’s a character that’s all about perspective. If you think that this is an immortal being. She’s been around since the beginning of time. She’s lived in certain periods of our humanity, where there were people who would sit and watch other men tear each other apart for sport. Children were sacrificed. It’s not unheard of in history. In her mind, she’s seen it all. I think what’s great about the storyline is that it challenges our belief system. You and I can sit here in 2009 and say it’s outrageous that someone would sacrifice humans. My belief system, as a vegetarian, can’t believe that animals are being sacrificed. I stand by that in Maryann’s mind, there’s nothing malevolent. She has a different way of looking at the world.”
Comments Off on Elizabeth Berkley Gets Real Reading Done At Real Food Daily
Elizabeth Berkley was spotted at Real Food Daily in LA taking up two tables.
Apparently Elizabeth had lots of books with her that day as she had her dinner.
Maybe she thought her meal would take a really, really, really long time to cook.
At vegan restaurant Real Food Daily, Elizabeth doesn’t have to worry about leaving her business card that urges restaurants to add more veg food to the menu.
Wonder if she’s switched to leaving entire books instead?

A hilarious video has made it’s way to the Funny or Die series.
Andy Dick dressed up as Ronald McDonald (complete with cleaver he brought with him) gets interviewed by Martin Short’s Jiminey Glick.
The video was created as part of the campaign to pressure McDonald’s to discontinue its methods of killing and move to a more humane version-Controlled Atmosphere Killing.
Watch the video and go to the website to vote cause this one’s too funny, yet too serious as well, to die.
Brian had told Mother Nature Network he prefers following a near vegetarian diet to be more eco-friendly.
However, for the first episode, we’re going to be that nasty ice skating judge that gives the 6 when everyone else gives a 9.9. Here’s why.
Brian opened up going gaga over a crab meat appetizer. Sure, there were vegetables mixed with it, but we would have preferred a bean spread.
His next dish was a little more promising-sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese skewers. This doesn’t please the vegans, but at least his left flesh off the stick.
Finally, he almost impaired our judgement when he announced his last dish for the day was polenta with spicy sausage and red peppers.
For someone who follows a “mostly vegetarian” diet, Boitano seemed a little off course for the day.
Hopefully, he won’t make the show a Gwyneth Paltrow, “I say I eat mostly vegetarian but show meaty dishes in my public projects” kind of thing.
“We’re about breaking even, which is really good for a restaurant.,” Hynde said. “My only interest in it is the cow protection and also to bring life back into the downtown.”
Great food and word of mouth is what has kept her doors revolving and the ovens burning.
The Vegiterranean name is often dropped in the veg community for things like awesome faux chicken sandwiches, burgers that put beef to shame, and not to mention its superstar of a co-owner.
But Chrissie never intended to be a big shot.
“I always say I have no ambitions. But that is my ambition.”
Moby just kicked off a series of concerts meant to help raise climate change awareness, the “Play to stop – Europe for climate,” a joint venture with MTV and the European Commission.
When Moby asked Al Gore why he didn’t include going vegetarian in the documentary on being green and saving the planet, “An Inconvenient Truth,” he got an “honest” answer.
“I asked Al Gore about why he didn’t mention this in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ [as animal production is responsible for more greenhouse gases than every car, bus, truck, bus, plane and boat on the planet combined]. He answered honestly, basically saying that getting people to drive a hybrid car isn’t that difficult. Getting people to give up animal products is almost impossible. I appreciated his honesty.”
But wonder how many part time vegetarians could have been created if the diet was a least brought up sometime in the film?
Perhaps if those that label themselves environmentalists really knew the truth about the waste of resources and gas emissions from cows in the fields, they’d be motivated to at least stop eating meat for a day or two a week.
