"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

Meat Is For Pussies by punk rocker John Joseph has already gained the attention of several notables in the vegetarian community. Serving as no-nonsense advice for getting healthy and removing the junk from your body, Joseph’s book emphasizes that the only wimpy men out there are the ones still grabbing a double-double for dinner. Here’s what others have to say:

Rory Freedman, co-author of Skinny Bitch:
“Meat is for Pussies will completely transform your mind, body, and life. It’ll also score you major ass with hot vegan chicks.”

Moby:
“I’m really glad that John Joseph is finally showing that vegans are some of the strongest, healthiest, and toughest people on the planet. I mean, everyone wants to be thin and healthy and live long lives, but people still eat meat? That’s insane.”

In a sad tale of a couple you never thought you’d see split, Al Gore and wife Tipper have called it off after 40 years of marriage.

As handsome as Al is, he’ll surely have no problem getting dates in the future if he chooses to, but PETA has taken the opportunity to remind him that all the sexy Democratic ladies forgo meat.

“You are already aware of the environmental damage caused by animal agriculture, and you recently stated that you are reducing your meat consumption. This is a small but important step. Now that you’re single again and presumably considering dating, you may also be looking for a way to slim down. May we recommend kicking the meat and milk habit entirely and going vegan, which is not only one of the best ways to fight climate change but is also one of the best ways to shed unwanted pounds?”

Natalie Portman received a pair of vegan shoes from Indian designer Rina Shah for her 29th birthday, which happens to be today.

“I chose Portman for this because she has been a long-time supporter of animal rights,” said Shah.

“The shoes sent to Natalie are inspired by Cinderella’s glass slippers, adorned with Swarovski crystals.”

Reality TV can be tough on a veggie, but one Big Brother contestant is hoping to beat her odds of being forced to consume either mushrooms or sardines everyday to survive, as she’s secured a place in the home for the UK television show’s final cycle.

Yvette is a medical student who likes to be called “Sunshine” and who’s taking a year off to do more studying–in the area of medical journalism.

Although it may be joking, the Daily Mail said her self-described diet was one of “crisps and bread.”

Here’s hoping the med student will give herself better orders and eat a more rounded diet than starch, at least when she finishes her Big Brother stint. Who knows? Maybe the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine could use another veggie minded doc on their team as they educate the public on the benefits of a plant based diet in preventing common medical problems like diabetes and heart failure.

Guster’s Adam Gardner is the face of the Green Music Group’s latest challenge to eat local, and while he’s one of the leading forces behind this campaign, he has his wife to thank for greening another area of his diet.

“It was really my wife’s environmentalism that rubbed off on me!” Gardner told Good. “Once we started living together, suddenly I was eating vegetarian, composting, walking everywhere, running the laundry machine in off-peak hours. It was the dichotomy between how I was living at home and what life on the road was like with my band (gas–guzzling tour bus, trash all over the place at the end of a show, awful fast food, etc.) that sparked the idea for Reverb in the first place.”

Sharkwater

Sharkwater, a documentary about the practice of finning, recently premiered in Hong Kong. The film follows the journeys of director Rob Stewart, as he fights poachers and reaches out to others in the activist community like Captain Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd Conservation. The DVD release of the film is also available in the U.S.

During finning, a shark’s fins are cut off while it is still alive, and the shark is thrown back into the ocean to die. Hawaii has recently become the first state in the U.S. to ban this “delicacy” which is often made in the form of soup.

Green Music Group is a group of musicians, industry leaders and fans dedicated to spreading the environmental news throughout the industry.

Every two weeks on their website, Green Music Group, will present a challenge to fans and from now until June 18, Guster is challenging their fans to eat local at least once a day.

Lead singer and founding member of Green Music Group, Adam Gardner, speaks in the video.

“I feel personally connected to this challenge because I just recently joined a community supported agricultural program. And it was just amazing how much better the food tasted. The fact that I knew who was growing it, I met the farmer and knew that I was supporting that local farmer and that local economy just felt good to do.”

Gardner’s got a point about the taste. Compare fresh, local, crisp green beans to those brought halfway across the country or frozen or in a can.

No competition!

Once you try eating local, we promise, as Guster would say, “Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa,” it will “never be the same again.”

“It may take a little effort for the first few weeks. Then you’ll start getting used to it and you’ll find more and more fun things to eat. ’Cause food’s a drug, and you gotta do the happy drugs rather than the sad drugs, you know what I mean?”

—Russell Simmons, explaining switching to a vegan lifestyle, at an event honoring him by the National Arts Club.
