Chrissie Hynde and her band The Pretenders play a live set at the Hard Rock Calling 2009 festival in London

“I’ve never been a feminist so there you go. I just do what I think I have to do. I’m not resistant. I’m only interested in meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. If you’re a feminist and a meat-eater you’ve got nothing to do with me. We’re not speaking the same language. I’ve never been discriminated against anyway.”

—-Chrissie Hynde, who said she doesn’t get why some people are hung up on gender. Incidentally, some vegans might consider the dairy industry to be a feminist thing, as female cows are forcefully impregnated to produce milk for human profit and consumption. Is there a feminist theme behind the Dairy is Rape saying?

Hugh Jackman Can Redeem Chicken Sins At Detox Resort

Hugh Jackman Presents Joel Greys New Book 1.3 - Images From My Phone

In Austria, the Viva Mayr clinic exists, where celebrities flock to detox and lose weight.

The intensive seven day programs costs anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 a week and replace sugar, caffeine, and alcohol with gourmet vegetarian meals and various pampering and luxury offers.

A similar program exists in Australia called Gwinganna.

Stars like Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Hugh Jackman have taken part in these “detox” sessions.

Oh, yes. Hugh Jackman.

Is this where the X Men star goes to purify himself from the chicken farm he consumes when he’s interested in getting buffed for a film?

If you recall, Hugh told reporters he consumed a lot of chicken to put on extra muscle for his Wolverine role.

“Let me tell you, I’m not vegan. I ate so many chickens to make this body. If there is a place in hell for people who eat chickens, I have booked a suite bigger than anybody.”

Of course, Hugh could have checked out Vega, completely plant based vegan protein bars, protein powders, and other supplements.

There are chickens in hell, waiting for him to arrive, so they can force feed him a liquid diet of Smoothie Infusion.

Joan Jett Farm Sanctuary Visit And Photos

Farm Sanctuary

Farm Sanctuary

Joan Jett recently made a field trip to Farm Sanctuary where she not only cuddled with the famous Joan Jett pig, but rubbed elbows (or maybe snouts?) with other animals like Jerry Lee pictured here.

Joan’s not only a supporter of Farm Sanctuary and animal activist, but a longtime vegetarian as well.

The folks of Farm Sanctuary know a picture’s worth a thousand words, and they’ve included several illustrating Joan’s compassion and ability to bond with animals.

From the blog, Sanctuary Tails:

“During her visit, Joan got to meet her namesake, the fabulous Joan Jett pig and pitch in with farm tasks like moving the main cattle herd to a different pasture so they could enjoy grazing on new lush green grass, and feeding scratch mix out to flocks of super excited chickens. She also, of course, got to just hang out and play with all the animals, and I was thrilled to see how very comfortable she was with all of them – no matter how big or how small. Joan was an absolute natural with the animals and, of course, extremely cool to hang out with too.”

Visit Sanctuary Tails to view more pictures and Joan hanging out with the farm animals.

Chrissie Hynde’s Time To Go Is When It’s Time To Eat Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 13th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

The Pretenders Perform In Madrid

Chrissie Hynde never spares words when voicing her opinions, even at the risk of offending and hurting others. She’s keeping up her reputation with a recent interview with Scotland and Sunday.

The Pretenders’ frontwoman insists she would rather give her own life than eat an animal’s because of the guilt she would carry if she ate one.

“I’m always surprised when I meet meat eaters,” Chrissie said. “I just think why on earth do you do that? You could put a gun to my head and say, ‘If you want to live you have to eat steak’, and I’d say, ‘Time to go’. I don’t want that kind of blood on my soul. I’m ready to go right now to be honest. I’m not saying I want to die, but I’ve got no further material goals. Anyway, if you haven’t finished your business here you’ll come back to do it. I like to think mine is finished, thanks very much.”

Read the entire list of places Paul can eat at, including where he can get a vegan breakfast tomorrow morning.

Jason Mraz Does Vitamineral Green For Breakfast

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Jason Mraz performs at Le Zenith, Paris

Vegan singer and musician Jason Mraz has recently revealed on his blog what he consumes for the most important meal of the day.

“The secret to a great day is how you start your day. And for the past year and a half I’ve avoided eating a heavy traditional breakfast. Instead, I merrily jumpstart my day with the ever-so-awesome Vitamineral Green from Healthforce Nutritionals”

“One heaping scoop of this stuff in the morning provides an insane amount of goodness for the body. The powdered greens (from dehydrated plants and algae among other things) taken by itself is enough to live on. It goes straight to the blood and straight to the brain and stays with you all day. I stir mine every morning with ONE-Brand Coconut Water, but I prefer to blend it also with some Flax Oil, Freelife Goji Juice, Avocados, Maca Spice (the Peruvian Viagra) and a few dates. I even do Cayenne pepper on mornings that I want something savory. The flavor options are unlimited and there’s no way you can overdose on the stuff.”

“Think about it for a second, would you rather start your day with something fattening and/or sugary that ends up around your waist or deep in your ass, or would you rather feel light and energized with a glow that people can recognize? Remember, you are what you eat.”

Healtforce Nutritionals is a 100% gluten-free product company that is probably anointing Jason’s feet with oil now that they’ve gotten such a big plug.
