Noticeably missing from Joan’s side was her pig companion, but still, he was with her in spirit!
Farm Sanctuary strives to reduce or eliminate everything uncool about animal welfare, and campaigns cover such issues as promoting and getting Prop 2 passed, ending the production of foie gras, and getting people to stop having dairy hookups.

Comments Off on Director Richard Linklater Likes Veggie Mexican Food At Mr. Natural
Richard Linklater is an Academy award nominated film director and screen writer who’s credits include Fast Food Nation and School of Rock.
If you know Fast Food Nation, you know the story of the poor marketing director who, after discovering some good ol’ fecal matter in his company’s meat product, learns what other horrors come packaged in a “Value Meal.”
Linklater’s no fan of fast food, as he prefers “healthy mexican,” specifically, a restaurant in Austin, Texas called Mr. Natural.
“It’s this veggie Mexican food place, a healthy Mexican place, just about a mile on the East side on Cesar Chavez Avenue. It’s called Mr. Natural. It’s a healthy Mexican little buffet. It’s wonderful. It’s been there forever. It’s too good to be true. It’s a quick little buffet, you’re eating within like four minutes of when you walk in the door.”
Heading to Austin anytime soon? Mr. Natural’s menu offers vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and wheat free dishes like Potato Flautas, Picadillo de Soya, Cabbage Rolls, Tofu a la Mexicana, and Tamales.
Comments Off on Michael Jackson Loved Tofu Enchiladas With Cheese, Green Sauce
So we’ve already learned the late Michael Jackson loved sweet potatoes.
Now, we’re finding out more favorite foods the vegetarian enjoyed.
Larry Banares, a Filipino American celebrity chef based in San Diego, has spilled the lard-free re-fried beans that Michael had a thing for Mexican food.
“One that really sticks in my mind was a kind of a Mexican dish,” Banares said. “He loved tofu and cheese enchiladas with the green tomatillo sauce. And we perfected that dish because it was one of Michael’s absolute favorites.”
You know the drill. Life’s short, so you ate your sweet potato pie dessert first. Now it’s time for lunch or dinner.
They’ve had good work done by Los Angeles based celebrity makeup artist Kerry Malouf, who’ll be a regular contributor to beautynewsnyc.com.
Malouf is a vegetarian who uses beauty products not tested on animals and that contain natural and organic products whenever possible.
It’s a no brainer that vegan activists like Ginnifer Goodwin and Alicia Silverstone love an artist who practices good beauty ethos, but the fact Malouf’s CV includes stars who aren’t veg is incredible.
“I believe that true beauty comes from the inside out, so what you put inside your body reflects on the outside, with makeup and clothing enhancing the outside with color and fabrics making daily life a little more fun,” Malouf said.
Feeling good on the inside because no creatures were harmed in the making of your concealor will truly make your outward appearance shine.
