Vegetarian Star

The Dalai Lama frequently receives criticism from some in the vegetarian community for continuing to eat meat while promoting non-violence. A former vegetarian, he started eating small amounts of animal flesh on the advice on a doctor after developing gall bladder issues and hepatitis.

When he spoke with NDTV, he insisted that from a religious standpoint, eating meat is not necessarily against a monk’s principles.

“Most of the girls that I date are vegetarians . . . They always leave me, but stay vegans.”

—Russell Simmons to the New York Post at the Bold Native premiere he hosted. According to Peta’s president’s opinion, he’s doing his job right. Ingrid Newkirk once said vegetarians and vegans should date meat eaters…and dump them once they’ve converted to start working on another person.

The women in Russell’s life must be very eager to break away from him to spread the vegan news.

Bob Barker made an appearance on Mike Huckabee‘s talk show, The Huckabee Show, along with Chuck Swift, captain of the MV Bob Barker, the anti-whaling ship named after the former Price Is Right host.

Both men discuss international whaling treaties and Sea Shepherd’s work. Barker says the goal is to sink the Japanese whalers economically and claims this past year was especially successful because the whalers lost money.

Barker is big supporter of Sea Shepherd, having donated several million dollars to the cause.

Everyone could use a big wiener now and then. That’s why Peta brought models to Washington, D.C. dressed in veggie bikini wear to pass out faux hot dogs during National Hot Dog Month–without the animal protein. Last year, Playmate Jayde Nicole served up soy dogs and fixings, while this year model Vida Guerra gave the event some extra spice as she dressed in a swimsuit with dangling peppers and offered chili dogs to passersby on Capitol Hill.

It doesn’t get any more patriotic than this.

Between the two champs trying to save the country from processed meats, cancer and heart attacks…Who would you rather…

Will a movie about a solider returning home from war and working in a slaughterhouse turn everyone at the box office veggie? If they’re anything like the assistant director to Ryan Piers Williams‘ film The Dry Land, it might.

The assistant director gave up eating meat after filming a live slaughter of a cow during the movie, according to Contact Music.

Williams told WENN, “The cow was slaughtered and we shot it documentary style. We went to this slaughter house before we started shooting and that cow was going to be slaughtered on that day and we documented it. It was very brutal to watch and to witness.”

Benjamin Zephaniah gave The Guardian an interview where he revealed although he’s traveled to places as exotic as Beijing to eat vegan, his favorite meal is still a simple dish of butter beans, potatoes, yam and dasheen.

Regardless of where or what you eat, Zephaniah insists anything can be made vegan.

“I can honestly say I’ve not been tempted to give up veganism in 27 years. I sometimes smell a chip shop and like the smell but then feel guilty because fish might be part of it. But I’ll go home and make vegan chips.”

“When I moved to Beijing, to study martial arts, I saw teenagers stroking cats which minutes later would be on their plates. Yet in Beijing I also found my favorite vegan restaurant in the world – Pure Lotus. There really is a vegan version of everything.”
