Vegetarian Star

Marco Borges is the man behind the sleek physiques of many celebrities, including Beyonce. Borges is the author of the book Power Moves and creator of a line of vegan protein bars, 22 Days.

This personal trainer who gave fitness advice in Vogue’s annual Shape issue happens to also be a vegan. He got the idea for the protein bars based on the notion that it takes 21 days to make a new habit.

“The devastation inflicted on our environment by factory farms is something we all have the power to stop by doing something as simple as ordering a veggie burger instead of a meat one. Please join me in taking the pledge to go meat free for a day, a month or longer. It’s a lot easier than you think, and let’s be real, all burgers taste the same with ketchup.”

—Jason Schwartzman, who voices a new short film about the effects of factory farms and the environment, What To Eat. Schwartzman is seen below in a 30-second promo for a site where you can learn more about eating better for the environment, platetoplanet.org.

Actor Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Scott Pilgram vs. The World, Bored To Death) has narrated a short film on the effects of the meat industry and the environment.

This isn’t a dry lecture that spits out facts, but an entertaining flick which features a day in the life of a man (Schwartzman) who wakes up one morning with the same question everybody does, “What am I going to eat today?” and starts it off with bacon and eggs.

Suddenly, Schwartzman’s entire day–from driving to work to sitting in the office to shopping for dinner–is filled with messages about the destructive effects of meat and the environment. From reading the morning newspaper to stumbling on a website at work, each encounter Schwartzman has brings him closer to the realization that factory farmed meat is destroying the Earth and causing health issues for humans who don’t even eat it.

“The problem is the system that enables cruelty and a lack not just of law enforcement but actual laws. Because the only federal laws governing animal cruelty apply to slaughterhouses, where animals may spend only minutes before being dispatched. None apply to farms, where animals are protected only by state laws.”

—Mark Bittman, in his New York Times food politics column about the animal cruelty discovered at E6 Cattle, a company that provides calves for the dairy industry. A video of the cruelty, which shows–among many acts–workers bludgeoning cows with pick axes, can be viewed here.
