    We told you how wrestling champion and model Torrie Wilson was convinced to go vegetarian after spending some quality time with John Salley in the jungle. Uh, in the jungle for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Always important to explain yourself fully. Anyway, turns out Torrie is not completely veg-she still eats birds. But at least [...]

    Updated: 2009-08-28 17:33:11
    Hilarious! Chrissie Hynde is normally quite calm, but still opinionated when sharing her views on vegetarianism and animals. We think all the excitement from one of her recent performance made her a little less inhibited. In Toronto, Chrissie grabbed the mic and yelled: “Meat eaters, go [expletive]yourselves.” Fiona Morrow at theglobeandmail.com wanted to keep her column clean. You can fill in [...]

  • Friends of Animals calls for Idaho potato boycott in response to governor vows to participate in wolf massacre

    Updated: 2009-08-24 19:22:04
    It really baffles me when people say they hate non-human animals. What have they done to us? If anything, it’s humans who have done a lot of damage to other species. It’s specially dangerous when politicians go around saying they hate animals, as did Idaho Governor Butch Otter.Wolves were only taken off the Endangered Species [...]

  • Transition and Meat Eating

    Updated: 2009-08-14 11:38:29
    Vegetarian blogs . Shop Blogs Contact Veggie Blogs Search this : blog Transition and Meat Eating I was elected Chair of New Forest Transition around a year ago . Although the whole ethos of Transition is very much non-hierarchical I thought I might be able to bring to bear a little influence when it came to discussions about diet . The intimate connections we , as vegans , know about between the meat dairy industry and environmental destruction are not so well known to mainstream omnivores . Alas , in common with many other veggies vegans in the Transition movement I was sadly mistaken I drafted a set of suggested guidelines for how we should run meetings which included that where food was provided we often meet at either the local authority or the National Park offices it should be veggie or , preferably , vegan . The guidelines were accepted without murmur but then , as far as that bit was concerned , pretty much ignored . My choice of not eating animal products was largely seen as a bit of a joke . Ho . hum So I was wonderfully surprised the other day , when I went to a meeting organised by one of the New Forest villages , to hear the speaker talking about the need to cut down

    Updated: 2009-08-13 19:03:46
    I’m not a fan of the Meatless Monday initiative as I don’t see how cutting out meat once a week will actually lead anyone to vegetarianism, let alone veganism. But I do support mentored vegan introductions carried out over a continuous period of time. The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine is launching a 21-day program [...]
