Quantcast Vegetarian Starcelebrity and vegan (49)

Push Los Angeles Premiere

Twilight actress Christian Serratos recently interviewed with New York Beauty Secrets Examiner Gabrielle Long, where she revealed she prefers to keep her beauty collection cruelty-free!

“I mean, there’s still some stuff that I’m trying to like wean myself off of by finishing the bottle and calling it a day with it. Because I found out that some of my favorite stuff either tests on animals, or uses animals. Luckily, a lot of the stuff I already use won’t test on animals, so I lucked out and picked the right things. It’s convenient.”

“I like this new brand Stripped, it has this vegan mineral veil, and I love it. Everything is vegan, even their brushes. Because I don’t like to use any animal products, it’s really hard to find out what is or isn’t. It’s really easy with Stripped because all of their brushes and all their makeup and lipgloss and everything is vegan.”

Farm Sanctuary’s Gene Baur Says Meat Wastes Water

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 13th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Environment-Eco-Green.

farm_sanctuary_cover

Vegetarian Times online has an interview with Farm Sanctuary’s President and co-founder, Gene Baur.

Farm Sanctuary works to protect and rescue farm animals throughout North America.

Not only are factory farms cruel to animals, they’re wasting our water more than a fully running faucet during teeth brushing time!

“Water is a precious resource. There is a 10:1 ratio in terms of water resources necessary for meat production versus vegetarian food production. The “externalities” or external costs of factory farms include polluted surface and ground water due to untreated manure lagoons that are basically just liquid waste. There was a theory that anaerobic decomposition would decay it all. However, when it rains, these lagoons overflow. This also causes a destruction of property values because of the stench.”

Chrissie Hynde and her band The Pretenders play a live set at the Hard Rock Calling 2009 festival in London

“I’ve never been a feminist so there you go. I just do what I think I have to do. I’m not resistant. I’m only interested in meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. If you’re a feminist and a meat-eater you’ve got nothing to do with me. We’re not speaking the same language. I’ve never been discriminated against anyway.”

—-Chrissie Hynde, who said she doesn’t get why some people are hung up on gender. Incidentally, some vegans might consider the dairy industry to be a feminist thing, as female cows are forcefully impregnated to produce milk for human profit and consumption. Is there a feminist theme behind the Dairy is Rape saying?

Joan Jett recently made a field trip to Farm Sanctuary where she not only cuddled with the famous Joan Jett pig, but rubbed elbows (or maybe snouts?) with other animals like Jerry Lee pictured here.

Joan’s not only a supporter of Farm Sanctuary and animal activist, but a longtime vegetarian as well.

The folks of Farm Sanctuary know a picture’s worth a thousand words, and they’ve included several illustrating Joan’s compassion and ability to bond with animals.

From the blog, Sanctuary Tails:

“During her visit, Joan got to meet her namesake, the fabulous Joan Jett pig and pitch in with farm tasks like moving the main cattle herd to a different pasture so they could enjoy grazing on new lush green grass, and feeding scratch mix out to flocks of super excited chickens. She also, of course, got to just hang out and play with all the animals, and I was thrilled to see how very comfortable she was with all of them – no matter how big or how small. Joan was an absolute natural with the animals and, of course, extremely cool to hang out with too.”

Visit Sanctuary Tails to view more pictures and Joan hanging out with the farm animals.

Chrissie Hynde’s Time To Go Is When It’s Time To Eat Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 13th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

The Pretenders Perform In Madrid

Chrissie Hynde never spares words when voicing her opinions, even at the risk of offending and hurting others. She’s keeping up her reputation with a recent interview with Scotland and Sunday.

The Pretenders’ frontwoman insists she would rather give her own life than eat an animal’s because of the guilt she would carry if she ate one.

“I’m always surprised when I meet meat eaters,” Chrissie said. “I just think why on earth do you do that? You could put a gun to my head and say, ‘If you want to live you have to eat steak’, and I’d say, ‘Time to go’. I don’t want that kind of blood on my soul. I’m ready to go right now to be honest. I’m not saying I want to die, but I’ve got no further material goals. Anyway, if you haven’t finished your business here you’ll come back to do it. I like to think mine is finished, thanks very much.”

Heather Mills’ V Bites Faux Meats And Cheeses Available Online

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Business, Chefs, Food & Drink.

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Heather Mills is offering some of her vegan meals she serves at her V Bites restaurant in frozen entrees to eat at home.

But there’s a catch.

Your doorstep must be within mainland UK.

There’s no 30 minutes or less guarantee either.

Green gossip site Ecorazzi.com speculated this might be Heather’s frozen line of vegan meals she’s been talking about for some time. But other sources says those are expected to be named Mighty Meatless Meals in Minutes, so perhaps Heather’s just making some of her restaurant selections available for customers to heat up at home, with an additional frozen line to come.

Keeping with traditional British food, V Bites online offers Breaded Fish Style Fingers.

There’s also vegan versions of  hotdogs, quarter pounder burgers, as well as vegan Greek and smoked style cheese.

Ingredients for all products are simple, mainly consisting of soya or texturized vegetable protein and sometimes tofu in the case of the cheeses. A few spices here and there complete the meals that are high in protein, free from GMOs, and completely animal product and by-product free.

To view all V Bites foods currently offered online, visit the V Bites online store.
