Kathy Freston Celebrates Her New Book Quantum Wellness

“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.”

—Author Kathy Freston, in an exclusive interview with Ecorazzi.com. Kathy is the woman who convinced Oprah Winfrey to go vegan for three weeks and is the author of several books, including her latest, The Quantum Wellness Cleanse.

Chrissie Hynde Joins PETA Protest Of KFC

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.

Vegan Vindaloo And Mum Make Andrew G. A Happy Man

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, May 23rd, 2009 in Actors, Celebrity Tweets, TV Hosts.

Arrivals At The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007

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.

Spock, Star Trek’s Vulcan Vegan, Questions His Flesh Eating Ways

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Pop Culture, Videos.

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?”

Admitting is the first step, Spock.

Dan Matthews: Get Obamas Naked, Madonna Is Middle Aged Witch

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Business.

Alec Baldwin Hosts A Screening Of Blinders

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 Obama would 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.

Owen Wilson Ticks Off Unlucky Vegan Duck By Cutting In Line

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian screening in Washington.

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.

Hey, movie stars need their raw fix more, okay. It’s a stressful world out there. Don’t prove Margaret Cho right about angry vegans, now.

Press conference for the 17th Life Ball 2009 in ViennaPamela Anderson is a work hard, play hard kind of gal and she proved this recently while attending the Vienna’s Life Ball AIDS event with other celebrities like Katy Perry, Bill Clinton, and Eva Longoria.

Before heading off to the ball, Pamela found time to chat with Austria’s justice minister, Claudia Bandion-Ortner about animal rights and free speech. It appears Austrian police are attempting to classify animal rights groups as criminals. When Pamela heard this news, she wrote a letter to Bandion-Ortner, asking for her assistance to prevent the potential censure of free speech.

The justice minister then invited Pamela to spend some quality one on one time with her, where she assured Pamela, she’d monitor the situation closely.

It helps to know people in high places.
