R.I.P. We've lost some Vegan Celebrities
Q: Alright just one more, a little lighter thing. I had heard you are a vegan but I read something saying you went back to fish. What’s up with that?
A: Yeah, I eat fish, man. I needed some protein. I’ve been eating fish for like two years now, two and a half years. It’s great too. I’m glad to be eating it. It was tough being vegan. I salute all vegans and vegetarians.

"I still don't eat a ton of meat, and I don't wear a ton of leather," she told imdb.com.
"But I just don't put strict limitations on myself anymore. I don't beat myself up. I didn't wear certain designers because I didn't want any animals to suffer for beauty and stuff, and so I literally was dressed by Old Navy at one point.
"I still shop there, happily. And Urban Outfitters and the Gap - I love those stores. You need basics for stability, but eventually I got tired and wanted to play again. Dressing is like an art form - it's so much fun."
______________________________
This makes me quite sad, but like I've said in the past, if you're vegan because of diet it won't last. If you EVER cared about the safety of animals, you would NEVER return to eating meat. Your conscience wouldn't even allow you to chew an animal, let alone swallow and digest one. Willpower ... it's all about willpower and selflessness. Some people can handle it, others just want blood on their lips. What else is there to say?

Moby blogs about burgers @ Live Earth
Eco-friendly MOBY has hit out at the organizers of the LIVE EARTH concerts for selling meat at the events.
The vegan musician's complaint echoes that of animals rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) who claim meat production massively damages the environment.
Moby writes on his blog,
"The one thing that still stuns me, though, is that almost no-one in the 'stop global warming' camp talks about the environmental ramifications of animal production. To quote a U.N. article: Rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars.
"At the Live Earth concerts people were eating hamburgers and hot dogs and chicken, which is akin to getting drunk at the funeral for someone who died of alcohol poisoning.
"It's just depressing that some huge truths about climate change are too inconvenient."

My sentiments exactly.

Another Letter from Al Gore
(Notice: Not one word about veganism or vegetarianism. Such a waste of resources. He could really do some good if he educated himself. What would be awesome is if someone hijacked these concerts with a vegetarian blimp or a streaker. I'd pay to see THAT!)
I PLEDGE:
1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"
3. To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
4. To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5. To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
6. To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
7. To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
