Dennis Kucinich was a speaker at the 2010 Animal Rights Conference in Virginia this past week where his message was to reconcile with nature.

Kucinich says we’ve disrupted this harmony by reckless exploitation of animals and destructive environmental practices that came with the industrial age.

“The central challenge of our times is to effect a reconciliation with nature. The schism between mankind and the natural world has become so pronounced in the 20th and 21st centuries.” After naming some examples of mankind disrupting nature’s balance such as mining and destroying animal habitats, Kucinich added, “All of these are indications of how far we have gone to separate ourselves from the natural world.”

Kucinich is suppose to announce sometime next month an initiative on how we can get back in touch with nature, or in his words, “relates to our connection with the earth and the environment.”

Katie Holmes will play a staunch vegan named Mary Powell who earns the love interest of meat eating co-worker Louis Ives (Paul Dano) in the new film, The Extra Man. Since the two are both working for an environmental magazine, it’s only fitting that Louis reduce his meat intake too–heck, even if it’s only to win Mary’s heart.

When he’s not sneaking looks at Mary, Louis spends his time with Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), an aging playwright who’s agreed to take Louis under his wing and rent him a room in his rundown apartment.

Watch the trailer below.

Farmville

Farmville, a Zynga game offered as a Facebook and iphone app which simulates different aspects of farming, does not depict a true image of most farms, with its smiling animals roaming freely around green, idyllic pasture settings. But the game is getting into the greener side of things, offering users a chance to grow organic produce.

Farmville has partnered with Cascadian Farm organic food brand to teach users about organic farming, raise awareness in support of organic farmers and offer coupons for products.

Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the Old Spice Man in the deodorant’s commercials, recently Tweeted about going on a vegan diet and asking if anyone who knew how to cook it.

Mustafa just might smell even better than Old Spice once he replaces steak, chicken and cheese with seitan, pasta and tempeh. A study showed ladies judge the body odor of a man fed a vegetarian diet to be “significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense.”

Women who’ve dated omnivores and vegans, chime in! Did your vegan men smell just as good as the veggie stir fry cooking in the kitchen?

Zac Brown of the country music Zac Brown Band must have heeded PETA’s advice when it suggested months ago he offer vegan food at the band’s “Eat and Greet” sessions.

If you recall, the band, who’s famous for their song “Chicken Fried,” initially responded to the request on Twitter with a “Dear PETA – Plants are living creatures too… Bacon had a mother but so did Pickle. It takes life to support life – welcome to the planet.” Moments later, another Tweet surfaced that said, “Chicken is the new tofu.”

Now, Zac Brown is boasting his new spicy, ginger marinade is vegan. What’s next? Seitan Fried Steak.
