Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Kathy Freston Says Veg Diet #1 For Better Health
“The single best thing you can do for optimal health is to cut way back on animal protein…until you can cut it out completely. Animal protein causes inflammation, among other things; it’s been conclusively shown to cause (and fan the flames of) cancer and heart disease. It burdens your body all around, insofar as circulation, hormonal imbalance, allergies, asthma, etc. But beyond that, optimal health includes a sense of inner wellbeing too. And I think it’s hard to feel really good, to have a sense that you are in synch with the upward thrust of evolution, if you are partaking in something that has become so cruel and unjust. When you eat in a pure way, that is kind and compassionate, an inner transformation happens that is more energizing than any vitamin or exercise regimen could ever be.”
Comments Off on Chrissie Hynde Hangs With The Fools ‘Till The Cows Go Home
Let’s face it, animal rights activists have to have thick skin.
When your motives are questioned, your tactics are ridiculed, and the cops are just waiting to shackle you at the slightest feeling the peaceful protest is turning ugly, it takes a lot of balls to get up routinely and stand up for creatures who cannot.
Not to mention those insane outfits!
From priests to fake bloody meat to animals to even getting downright naked, animal rights activists show no shame in dressing for the occasion to get the point across. Not a problem at all for vegan singer Chrissie Hynde.
“I don’t mind standing next to a guy dressed as a carrot chanting, ‘We’re not leaving ’til the cows come home,” Hynde told the Sunday Mail.
Or, standing next to a KFC chicken.
“If you’re willing to make a bit of a fool of yourself to make your point – that’s what you have to do.”
Whether it’s protesting KFC, McDonald’s or the mulesing industry, Chrissie has proven she never fails to pay her dues to the fools’ club.
Comments Off on Vegan Vindaloo And Mum Make Andrew G. A Happy Man
Mmmm…who doesn’t love Indian buffets? All the naan, curry, and samosas your belly can hold. Not to mention most other Indian dishes are veggie too.
Vindaloo is usually made from pork, wine, and garlic. But actor and co-host of reality TV show Australian Idol, Andrew G., found a veggie version he shared with mom one evening.
“Dinner with Mum. A vegan vindaloo. I’m warm on the inside from both experiences.”
Can there be nothing better than a veg man who loves his mom? Ladies, unfortunately, he’s already taken and married to actress and producer Noa Tishby.
One of the first supermodels, Marie Helvin is still looker hotter than ever in her 50s. And she does sowithout animal killing botox.
Helvin claims to use nothing but soap and moisturizer.
“Whatever I use on my face I take right down [to my cleavage],” she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. “They’re my best asset. Not that anyone really sees them any more. But I do.”
Like Christie Brinkley, who’s also in her 5th decade, Helvin is a vegetarian.
She is currently the face for Marks & Spencer’s portfolio fashion for women over 50.
Trekkies unite! The 2009 Star Trek Movie is still in theatres, so put your Vulcan thinking caps on and find a good, logical reason to see the movie.
Vulcans aren’t always the coolheaded creatures they want to be, as Spock proved once when he savored the taste of animal flesh. But at least he questioned his ridiculous ways.
“Please pay no attention, I’m not myself. I’m behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I’ve enjoyed it. What is wrong with me?”
Dan Matthews, senior vice president of PETA, gave metro.co.uk a few minutes of his time to talk about dressing up as a vegetable, getting arrested, loving Pamela Anderson and hating Madonna.
Not to mention getting Mr. and Mrs. President Obama in the nude for a campaign against fur.
There’s really too much to mention here, so we’ll summarize.
Next celebrity he wants to get naked for PETA Michelle Obamawould be awesome. She doesn’t wear fur and she’s so cool. We could go for the two of them, her and Barack.
Countries with the best jails
My favourite was in Hong Kong. They brought us great vegan meals and then, because we didn’t have any clothes from the naked protest, they gave us Hong Kong police department T-shirts, which were really cool.
Love Don’t Live Here Anymore For Madonna
I was a fan of Madonna in the 1980s but she became this middle-aged witch who thought her style should be defined by wearing fur coats and eating foie gras. We had a long argument over her glamorising bullfighting in her music videos.
Ouch!
Read who else is on Dan’s fur enemy list at metro.co.uk.
We are happy actor Owen Wilson was spotted shopping at One Lucky Duck, an organic, raw foods establishment with a restaurant, juice bar, and much more.
We’re unsure if Owen was grabbing grub or juice when he bypassed the takeout line to place his order, but apparently this made someone else waiting in line steaming broccoli mad.
