“If you can spend a little time with these creatures, you can connect them again to animals that you love, which I think helps everybody remember the importance of treating them humanely and with dignity.”
—actress Jorja Fox, from the Spring newsletter of Animal Acres.
Animal Acres is gearing up for its fantastic LA Veggie Pride Parade. The parade will feature all the awesome things a festival does, such as a march, food and entertainment, and guest speakers like Karen Dawn and Rory Freedman.
While we feel this isn’t the best example a vegetarian should be setting, PETA is defending one of its biggest partners in meatless crime. A statement from the organization:
“Pam is not a host but may be attending as an invited guest, and since steakhouses nowadays have some of the best salad bars and veggie options around, we’re sure she’ll find plenty to eat should she attend.”
Well, sure, a steakhouse always has some vegetables. That’s why they call it “meat and potatoes.”
If she really wants to do some promoting, she’ll champion for a veggie burger on the steakhouse menu.
Update: The Mighty Meatless Meals In Minutes is rumored to have been the name of Heather’s presentation at the Viva! show, not the name of the food line.
Okay. So we’ve been waiting on Heather Mills for the past century to come around and give the name of her new vegan food range.
It’s April, but not April Fool’s Day folks, and the name of her range has actually been unveiled:
“Heather has been developing a new meatless meats food range over the last few years to encourage people to replace meat at least once a week,” said an organizer of the Vegetarian Roadshow event.
It’s awesome that Heather’s bringing out another option for quick, vegan meals.
We admit we’re in love with Missy Higgins. But what’s not to love about her?
A vegan with a beautiful voice and equally talented song writing skills, she’s no stranger to animal issues either. Remember when she got cuddly with the piggy?
Now she’s cozying up with Izzy the dog, and both want to convey a serious message about animals and the fur industry.
“If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur,” reads the ad.
“The only difference between your “best friend” and animals killed for their fur is how we treat them. All animals suffer and feel pain. Please don’t wear any fur or fur trim.”
Vegan chef Christina Pirello once said that dairy should be illegal.
She’ll be sharing her legal cooking secrets with passengers abroad Holland America Line’s Zuiderdam in August, performing cooking demonstrations, answering questions, and offering tastes of her vegan cooking.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Food Science and Nutrition, has been a guest on television shows like “The Early Show” on CBS, “Home Matters” on The Discovery Channel, “Women’s Day TV” on The PAX TV Network and “In Food Today” on the Food Network.
Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Tovah Feldshuh Likes Her Tofu And Veggies
“It’s not that extraordinary. I like to go to Orso, ‘cause it’s right next to the theater. I love to go to the Harvard Club, where we’re members. I love to go to Daniel. Oh, my god, Bouley—way downtown; it’s brand new; it’s extraordinary. I went there for one lunch. I love little Chez Josephine, when I’m playing 42nd Street—Restaurant Row—I love to do Jean-Claude at Chez Josephine. You know, I go to the places that patronize me, that are good to me, and that are easy on me. Sardi’s always takes care of me—I always have their steamed vegetables and tofu ‘cause I’m dieting. I love the bread—the extraordinary, very, very, thin, paper-thin bread, that’s garlic and thyme, at Orso’s. I love the Harvard Club ‘cause they know me. I’ve been a member all my life, through my father, my husband, and my son. I love The Ivy restaurant in London. I eat there a lot. And I love The Ivy in Los Angeles, on Melrose. And I love The Wolseley in London. It’s fantastic. It was an old bank, like tonight [Gotham Hall], an old bank.”

When you think of animal rights, the conservative right isn’t the first group that comes to mind.
Rush Limbaugh (yes, that’s not a typo) has recorded a PSA for the Humane Society of the United States.
After the initial shock is over that conservative Rush would be involved with what some of his followers would call an “extreme left group,” here’s something else for you digest: Rush loves his little Punkin!
“When you think of law enforcement and animals, police dogs come to mind,” Rush says. “But law enforcement has another ally in the animal realm and that’s the Humane Society of the United States.”
“I have a cat. That little cat is a treasure to me-Punkin. If anybody harmed Punkin, they would be punished by me.”
Go, Rush. Get em’!
The Humane Society issued a statement saying, “The animal protection movement should never confine itself to the Left or the Right in American politics. Opposition to cruelty and the embrace of the human-animal bond are universal values, and people of every background and point of view should find common purpose with the work and programs of The Humane Society of the United States and its affiliates.”
Yes, we are coming together after all. Listen to Rush’s PSA below.
