DawnWatch: Access Hollywood on vegetarianism and going green 5/14/08
Access Hollywood covered the May 4 Los Angeles “Thanking the Monkey” book launch (to which you were all invited) and as a result there is a wonderful segment on line in which actresses Jorja Fox, Emily Deschanel, Daniela Sea, and Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman talk about “going green and how becoming vegetarian is one of the best ways to save the environment.”
Farm Sanctuary: The Trend to Stop the Cruelty of Foie Gras Hits Speed Bump – Your Help is Needed
In 2006, the Chicago City Council responded to the concerns of its citizens by banning—by a 48–1 vote—the sale of foie gras. Since that time, the Illinois Restaurant Association, led by Mayor Daley’s former chief of staff, has relentlessly politicized this strongly supported humane measure— first filing a lawsuit to overturn the ban in 2007 (which they lost) and then appealing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Oral argument in this appeal was scheduled for May 27.
