Jared Leto isn’t the only one who can save a spider from the death penalty.
Fall Out Boy was hanging out in South Korea when a spider was spied in one of their rooms.
After contemplating what to do with it, including placing it in Cobra Starship’s dressing room, the great veg man Patrick Stump caught the spider and returned it to its proper environment.
Apparently, there are vegetarian spiders who pass on the ants and go for the greens instead.

According to PEOPLE, while the vegan restaurant owner was relaxing in the Hamptons, she took the opportunity to educate people on a vegan diet.
“Even at lunch today, at the Southampton Beach Club, the people sitting next to me were having cow’s milk,” Heather said. “So I said, try soya. It’s better for you. And I brought them a little care packet.”
It wasn’t mentioned how receptive the guests at the Southampton Beach Club were to Heather’s suggestions, but hey, who can turn down a beautiful blonde?

“This year, we’re starting to make our own raspberry ice cream at Dirt Candy and will use Cascadian Farm berries. They’re never bland-they have a pure raspberry flavor that rivals fresh berries. In fact, they’re so sweet, hey need little or no added sugar, even if you eat them plain.”
—Amanda Cohen, former chef for Moby’s Teany and owner and chef of Dirt Candy vegetarian restaurant in New York city.
Amanda was one of several chefs asked by Vegetarian Times what organic products could be found in their kitchens.
Cascadian Farm not only has the organic raspberries you need this summer, but all the other vegetables you need to eat until your pesticide-free heart is content.
Comments Off on Chrissie Hynde Talks Vegiterranean Success In Meat Eating Town
Chrissie Hynde recently interviewed with the New York Post, where she mentioned how successful her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, is in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.
Located in the heart of the midwest, Chrissie couldn’t have picked a less veg friendly region-unless we’re talking about a cattle ranch town!
But two years later, The Vegiterranean is still going strong.
A few highlights from the interview:
Akron seems like a meat-eating kind of town. How has your vegan menu been received?
Everyone told me, “Don’t do it.” I had a resounding chorus of “You will go under” from all corners. But it’s been a huge success. And you’re right, it’s a real meat-eating town. I’m actually still surprised when I meet a meat eater. It makes so little sense, especially now that everybody knows the score as far as the treatment of the animals, the factory farms and the environment — not to mention the health implications. Why go to the gym every day when you can just eat right? I mean, look how gorgeous I am, and I don’t do anything.
How are people responding to what you’re doing there?
It’s funny, because yesterday I was thinking, what am I doing this for? I was feeling kind of isolated. And then I went to the restaurant, and six different groups of people walked up and said, “We’ve come in from out of town because we wanted to see the restaurant. You should put one in our city, because we really need it.” And I thought, it’s working. I was quite stunned.

Okay, so we’re a little nasty with the headline, but geez…
Hope for little Sasha and Malia Obama is running low as burger runs seem to be on both sides of the family.
First lady Michelle Obama was spotted with daughters Sasha and Malia eating at Good Stuff Eatery, a D.C. burger joint owned by former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn.
According to Justjared.buzznet.com, the Obama ladies ordered their cheeseburgers cooked medium with onion rings, fries, and milkshakes while the Secret Service agents looked on without eating.
Hey, those that protect the political family need to at least keep their arteries clean.
We wish Mrs. Obama would just stick to eating from her garden.
“Even Erykah Badu is known to swing by The Green Spot every now and then to pick up a few those oh-so-decadent vegan cinnamon rolls we all dream about. And who can blame her? (Hmm — I wonder if she’s also responsible for those empty trays at The Pearl Cup…)”
“Well, Erykah — maybe your next cinnamon roll will include a little love from me, too!”
Tough Cookie makes not so tough tasting vegan cookies, muffins, pretzels and cinnamon rolls and is looking to create their own line of gluten-free pastries, pizza crusts, pies and breads in the future.
Now, we know the faux meat served at the barbecue will be none other than tasty Gardein!
Chrissie was quoted in a press release as saying, “I have long advocated a vegetarian diet and am thrilled to offer my fans the opportunity to try gardein. It’s a vegan food but offers the familiar taste and texture of meat. I believe that my fans will love gardein – it’s good for you and the planet.”
Up to 200 fans total will have the opportunity to sample to meat substitute made from wheat, soy, grains, and vegetables that comes in various beef and chicken varieties.
If you didn’t win tickets to Chrissie’s concert and barbecue, just pick up a package of Gardein yourself at your local natural foods grocery store and turn up the CD jams!
