Apparently, it wasn’t the best meal he’d had. It was missing a little bit of salt and pepper.
“It was a little chewy and a little bland,” McCartney said. “It could have been seasoned a little bit more to tell you the truth.”
The only “icious” way to describe that meal would be “gagalicious.” We’re sorry if you’re reading this while eating lunch at your desk.
When PETA found about about Jesse monkeying around, Spokesman Michael McGraw said in a statement, “You’d have to be bananas to eat monkey flesh, or any meat. When it comes to the ability to feel pain and suffer, a monkey is no different from chickens, cows and pigs. All animals deserve respect, which is why PETA promotes a vegetarian diet.”
The famous vegan junk food lovin’ Nellie McKay will be performing at the Denver, Colorado VegFest 2009 on April 11.
VegFest will feature all day veggie fun complete with guest speakers such as Dr. Milton R. Mills, associate director of preventive medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), cooking demonstrations, and vendors.
The evening will end with Nellie’s concert as well as a performance by Amy and the Rock Sisters.
Nellie McKay, although a vegan, has said many times she just loves junk food, and thinks more people would be vegan if more vegan junk food was available. We’re guessing VegFest won’t have a lot of junk food, but there’s still probably something for everyone to chow down on.
VegFest will take place at Mariott City Center in Denver. For more information, visit VegFest.net.
Alanis Morissette snagged herself a Juno this weekend at Canada’s version of the Grammy’s. Alanis won Pop Album of the Year. Woohoo!
It’s not certain if Alanis attended the Juno awards banquet which featured some nice vegetarian options.
Alanis was know for going back and forth between vegin’ and meatin’ when she finally made the decision to go veg all the way and become vegan after reading Eat toLive by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a physician who’s worked with Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine.
Congratulations Alanis. Hope the diet’s still working for you. Ain’t nothing like a celebration with vegan cake!
The firm is involved with many environmentally friendly initiatives from greening its IT department to planting trees around cities.
“Ed was a hit with our attorneys, staff and clients, and it was fun to have a bit of Hollywood at Gardere,” said Stephen Good, the firm’s managing partner.
“His visit opened many minds to the idea of being green change agents. That is part of why we established the Gardere Green initiative in the first place — not only to do our part but to help others join in.”
Ed’s message for the day was that everyone can do their part to help the environment.
Most food was vegetarian, which reportedly even the carnivorous (maybe those are the injury) attorneys didn’t mind. The selection of vegan and gluten-free items were abundant and the food was purchased locally.
The event was also held at an LEED certified building featuring carpet and conference room chairs made from recycled material.
Ladies we all have a girlfriend we know who owns shoe pairs in the triple digits. Sometimes, depending on the person we’re talking to, we admit that “girlfriend” is us.
But while we’re buying out the discount rack at Payless, are we paying our dues to the environment and animals?
The Humane Society Legislative Fund has a list just like Santa that its checking more than twice. And every nice or naughty politician will have to answer how their actions contributed to animal welfare.
The Humane Scorecard Booklet is designed to let everyone know where politicians stand on animal rights.
The Scorecardcurrently shows the 110th Congress “made significant progress on animal protection legislation, including banning the import of puppies from foreign breeding mills, strengthening the federal law on animal fighting, and providing safeguards against tainted ingredients in pet food.”
Several government officials received a score of a “1oo+” including Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Diane Feinstein (Calif.), John Kerry (Mass.), Carl Levin (Mich.), and vice president Joe Biden.
Politicians earn points on the scorecard through several measures involving either voting or taking action against animal rights. Those earning the highest ratings of 100+ were the prime sponsors of pro-animal legislation that became law. Points can also be earned through co-sponsorship of bills and boosting funding for the enforcement of animal welfare laws.
Biden racked up points for co-sponsoring bills against animal fighting and horse slaughter.
Check to see how your favorite politician scored this time around on The Humane Scorecard.
