Poet Alice Walker said she’s glad she doesn’t like to eat cows since she grew up on a dairy farm and grew to love every feature of them, including “their smell,” which she jokingly says is because “they’re vegetarian and that helps.”
One of Alice’s friends wanted to stop eating meat, but found it hard because it seemed foreign given the fact he grew up around so much meat eating. Alice wrote the poem “La Vaca (The Cow),” to help him understand what vegetarian meant from the cow’s point of view.
“Look into her eyes…And know…that she does not think of herself as steak,” the poem goes.
Watch Alice tell her story and recite the poem to a crowd at Emory University.
If this doesn’t scare the fur off Susan Boyles‘ cat Pebbles, nothing will.
Piers Morgan, host of Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent is the poster boy for Burger King’s new scent, Flame.
Piers has donated his face (that’s a model’s body superimposed on his) to the scent that a Burger King spokesperson describes as a “very manly smell.”
“It’s well known that certain foods can increase your libido,” the BK spokesperson said. “Flame has a hint of grilled beef but that has quite masculine connotations. It is almost like a pheromone.”
Yeah, that really gets the veg ladies going, alright. Nothing like rotten flesh to get you in the mood.
Fast food restaurants launching perfume segments of their business? What’s the world coming to? Surely hope there’s no cologne for Long John Silver’s coming in the works.
The video below shows the making of the Piers Morgan Flame porn. Watch and be disgusted at your own risk.
Singer Pink’s not vegan, but she’s proving vegetarians can have a cold one at the end of the day.
While on tour recently in Australia, she told a reporter that while she prefers to eat vegetarian meals, she kept her concert cooler stocked with VB, Victoria Bitter beer.
Victoria Bitter hasn’t been investigated by the veg friendly alcohol folks at Barnivore.com, so we’re not sure if it’s vegan approved or not. Anyone care to tell?
Update: Victoria Bitter NOT vegetarian or vegan. See comments!
We called Obama out, and now Russell Simmons is putting in his two cents in a politico.com video.
Russell suggests Obama get something healthier like a falafel.
Watch the video to hear Russell chastise Obama. Our favorite quote? “He’s young,” Russell said, referring to Obama needing to learn to make better choices. LOL! The elders are telling you to each your veggies, Barack.
The Old 97s singer was suppose to serve as guest editor for Magnetmagazine.com, but instead let his other famous musician, actor, and artist friends do the job!
But Rhett does have a couple of friends that interest us, particularly, cartoonist Dan Piraro and singer Lisa Loeb.
Piraro is a vegan who often incorporates veg and animal rights themes into his comedy and sketches at bizarro.com. Piraro can’t wait for the newest album by the Airborne Toxic Event.
Lisa Loeb is vegetarian-sorta. Although most sources say she is, she admitted she likes bacon every once in awhile.
Lisa’s a fan of Peanut Butter & Co. “Smooth Operator” creamy peanut butter. The company makes other entertaining flavors like “White Chocolate Wonderful” and “The Heat is On.” The nut butters are no-stir, natural, and contain no trans fat or cholesterol.
You can learn what else Rhett’s super veg friends recommend on the Piraro and Loeb pages.
Who knows? Maybe they’ll recommend Rhett go veg too. Or at least almost there, as in Lisa’s case.
Comments Off on Charlize Theron Fights Pet Breedism
Singer-songwriter Nellie McKay told us last month during our interview with her that people need to forget the breeds and go for the mutts!
Charlize Theron agrees!
The actress recently donned a “Fight Breedism” T-shirt while walking along the beach with a cute, celebrity mutt alongside her.
Theron was modeling a new T-Shirt available through PETA, which can be purchased online.
The shirt educates as well as makes a fashion statement, including facts like 8 million cats and dogs taken to animal shelters, but less than half are ever adopted.
We don’t have to go into details about what happens to the ones that aren’t adopted, do we?
Get your shirt and spread the word that buying animals really does kill them.
Things got out of hand and people started throwing eggs at BNP leader Nick Griffin.
“Ms. McCartney-Mills was also caught in the volley of eggs. Once the right-to-lifers had dispersed, a group of men, rumoured to be from fathers-4-justice, began to whip her into an omelette; a recipe they had found in one of Jamie Oliver’s previously published books.”
That had to have made Heather mad, since you know eggs aren’t vegan!
