‘Cannibal’ Restaura...
It may in fact be healthier for your body and easier on the planet to eschew animal protein, but pursuing a vegetarian lifestyle still remains a matter of personal choice. There’s nothing wrong with sharing your perspective with the world and perhaps even triggering a few light bulb moments along the way, but even the most devout vegetarians have occasionally taken issue with some of the extreme tactics embraced by organizations such as PETA to spread the word. The animal rights...
Top 5 VEG Chefs Food Ne...
Last week we wrote an open letter to the Food Network asking, begging, pleading for a vegetarian/vegan cooking show. In the letter, we pointed out that in almost 150 television shows listed as airing on “The Food Network” and its new sister “The Cooking Channel”, not one is dedicated exclusively to the vegan and/or vegetarian lifestyle. Not cool! But then we figured it out! There’s no veggie cooking show because the network of traditional foodies doesn’t know who...
Extinct Fox Turns Up Ag...
Photo via Keith Slausen / US Forest Service The Sierra Nevada red fox was thought to be extinct, until three weeks ago anyway. U.S. Forest Service biologists captured photos of the fox with a camera set up on a trail, and took DNA samples of saliva pulled from a bait bag the fox bit into to experts at the University of California, Davis. And yep, we can put one extinct species back on the books, at least for now. … Read the full story on TreeHugger The rest is here: Extinct...
Sea Otter Populations N...
We’ve had a couple posts on sea otters on this site recently — a 10 Friday Photos post on otters and a post about the declining sea otter populations in California . I have to be honest and let you know that one particular friend has been the driver behind these posts. She also recently recommended that we do one more post on a “ Help Sea Otter Populations Recover ” petition, since our “Planetsave readers love otters!” The truth is, our readers do...
Lady Gaga Wears Meat Bi...
Well, you can’t say you’re surprised. Lady Gaga is appearing on his month’s edition of Vogue Homme Japan in nothing but a meat bikini. Something this ridiculous has actually happened before, but on television. Anyone else remember that dubious episode from America’s Next Top Model featuring contestants photographed in a meat locker wearing outfits made from actual uncooked meat? Yea, Vogue totally ripped them off. “Oh, Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish...
Extinct Fox Not Extinct...
Fox thought to be extinct found in California. Three weeks ago, U.S. Forest Service biologists thought they found a fox in the mountains of central California that is supposed to be extinct. The biologists looked to experts at the University of California, Davis to confirm this finding. Sure enough, the fox they stumbled across was this thought-to-be-extinct fox, a Sierra Nevada red fox ( Vulpes vulpes necator ). How the Sierra Nevada Red Fox Was Found & Identified Photographs...
Kate Hudson’s Eco-Veg...
The secret to Kate Hudson ’s lush, flowing locks? For a while, it looked as if she might not be able to lather up with her ill-fated eco-friendly hair care line “ David Babaii for WildAid ”. Fans might recall that Goldie ’s daughter has been caught up in a 2+ year long law suit regarding – of all things – volcanic ash. A company called 220 Labs accused the sunny beauty and her partner, stylist-to-the-stars David Babaii , of stealing what they claimed was actually their...
Hugh Jackman Has Just O...
Actor Hugh Jackman has just one more to week to make good on a rumored vegan vow. Here’s the deal: Jackman wrote the foreword to vegan health guru Brendan Brazier’s newest book Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life, and in it says , “there’s every chance that I will be a vegan by the time you read.” The new book comes out on September 14, so the one week countdown has officially begun. According to the New York...
Monbiot – "I...
Image credit: spratmackerel A long time ago, George Monbiot argued that the “only ethical response” to the sharp rise in meat eating around the world was to go vegan. He clearly changed his mind a while back though, instead making the case that we should reserve meat eating for special occasions . While he’s still an advocate of greatly reduced meat consumption, his latest article seems to be a lot more positive about even a moderate diet of well-raised animal...
