Vegetarian Star

Pamela Anderson won’t be shaking her vegetarian hips to the Salsa anymore on Dancing with the Stars.

The actress and animal rights campaigner was voted off last night, after she and partner Damien Whitewood found themselves in the bottom two for the third time in a row.

Bummer!

Pamela highlighted the very important issue of bullfighting during one of her dances earlier in the season. Contestants were asked to tell a story through their dance and Pamela’s depicted a woman torn because she was in love with a matador even though she disagreed with him killing animals.

Pamela described bullfighting as a “dance with the devil.”

As for her future plans now that she’s put away her heels and DWTS sexy outfits, Pamela told UK Ok!, “I’m doing a lot of things. I’ve got my clothing line; I’ve got my fragrance, my body care, hair care, all this organic crazy stuff I’m doing. But performance wise, I don’t know what I’m doing to do next.”

Dirk Benedict, former star of The A-Team television show, has announced he now follows a strict macrobiotic diet.

Macrobiotic  involves eating grains as the staple of the diet, with lots of beans and vegetables and avoiding processed or refined foods.

Usually vegetarian, some macrobiotic diets are pescatarian, as they allow certain types of fish.

Benedict’s co-star on The A Team, George Peppard’s character John “Hannibal” Smith, was famous for his saying, “I love it when a plan comes together.”

You can’t make a plan come together unless you have the instructions for it.

If your plan includes macrobiotic eating, investigate these recipes before you dive into the grains!

Jimmy Fallon buttered up to a PETA volunteer at the White House Correspondents dinner last weekend by giving the lady a hug and whispering, “PETA girls are hot.”

Hot, partially nude females make the animal rights group well known, but does it serve to promote vegetarianism?

Such the question arose when Lea Michele told Popeater she’s not ready to take her clothes off yet and feels she can get the message out that it’s not cool to wear fur without showing cleavage.

In the midst of PR frenzies, let’s hope PETA girls are remembered for the message they send about treating animals kindly as much as they are for their legs.

Stefanie Powers, the actress who starred in the 70s and 80s television series Hart to Hart, went on to become the director of the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and Game Ranch in Africa and president of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation.

Powers, who can be seen in the Hallmark Channel’s “Meet My Mom” this Saturday at 9PM, had friends who bred bulls in Mexico for bullfighting, and she got an inside glimpse into the industry that is so bloody and cruel.

Powers says consuming animals for food is like partaking in a bullfight everyday, if not worse.

“A bad bullfight is like seeing bad slaughter, which is being done every single day in this country. Our mass consumption of food and animal products has caused us to have tremendously inhumane ways of slaughtering animals en mass. It’s probably not even as humane in some cases as a bullfight. I can prove that by showing you photographs and films of what they do to wild horses when they send them to slaughterhouses. The pain and suffering, fear and agony of those poor animals is beyond any imagining.”

Powers is also interested in stopping the slaughter of wild horses, an animal she thinks is as American as the bald eagle.

"Eat Humane" iphone application

An iphone application from the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)allows you to choose both stores and restaurants that provide more humane products sourced from animals.

For vegetarians, this can help to avoid buying egg or dairy products produced in factory farms.

The Eat Humane Food app allows you to search by grocery store or restaurant.

When searching by store, the app can display all the foods considered humane sold at the business, ranking them in categories of “Good,” “Better,” and “Best.”

Restaurants are listed by city and offer a glimpse as to what humane foods, such as cage-free eggs are offered at the establishment.

For more information on the Eat Humane app, visit iTunes.

Journalist and author of Animal Factory, David Kirby, thinks Barack Obama should fight factory farming more aggressively and suggests taking this stance could even help him win votes in the next presidential election.

Obama was helped tremendously in the 2008 election by winning over Iowa, says Kirby in an article from the Huffington Post.

Kirby says Iowa sided with Obama due to his stance on changing policies in factory farming, which many conservative Americans see as an attack on hard working small farmers and personal property.

If Obama is to retain this support, changes in factory farm policies are needed, and Kirby provides a few ways in which the United States president can help both animals and constituents.

One way to do this is by limiting subsidies to corporate farms, which receive as much as 5 billion annually.

“If right-wing opposition to corporate bailouts runs so deep, then Obama should get some mileage from his promise to end the multibillion-dollar corporate farm subsidy boondoggle,” writes Kirby.

Kirby also thinks Obama should also tackle the monopoly big corporations have over the food industry and redirect programs to help small family farmers, something also valued by conservatives.

If Tom Dwan is looking to make any more vegetarian prop bets soon, he’ll have to pick another poker player besides Prahlad Friedman.

According to Poker News Daily, Friedman is a devout follower of the Hindu religion, as well as a vegan, joining the likes of poker players who don’t consume meat or dairy like Daniel Negreanu.

Friedman’s total live tournament earnings exceed $2 million.

Now he and Daniel should make a bet on who’s homemade vegan cookies will be consumed the most by players during the next tournament.

Has Mike Tyson taken to not biting the ears of any animal?

USA Today reports the boxing legend has become  vegan, something he revealed during an interview for the “Yes Network” series “CenterStage” that will air May 26.

His change in diet may appease some activists who were upset over his Animal Planet Show that features controversial pigeon racing, “Take On Tyson.”
