In the News
- VegNews meat photo scandal and eventual apology
The big story this week is that VegNews was outed by blogger Quarrygirl for using photos of meat in its magazine and passing them off as vegan. Since then, VegNews has apologized (half-heartedly), then decided they were maybe wrong after all and apologized again (for real this time). It took three days – an eon, given the story broke online. They’ve promised a “vegan photo bank to assure the availability of vegan stock images” to be prepared in a matter of days. We’ll be watching to see if they can redeem themselves…
- Toronto's Vegetarian Food Fair is changing its name
It will now be known as the "Annual Vegetarian Food Festival". Mark you calendars – this year it’s September 9-11.
- Bunny love
A tasteful reminder: don’t buy pet rabbits for Easter gifts! Pets are not disposable. But, chocolate bunnies are. Try one of those instead. Or, read my 2008 article about celebrating Easter the vegetarian way.
- Natalie Portman swaps vegan for vegetarian diet
Natalie Portman – purveyor of fashionably uncomfortable-looking vegan shoes and the star of our favourite rap video of all time (search the uncensored version if you're feeling frisky) has swapped her vegan diet in favour of a lacto-ovo-vegetarian one. Is it odd her rationale comes down to “I was having cravings for pastries”? It is to me. But then again I’ve never have wild pregnancy hormones coursing through my veins. Side note: I’m slightly miffed that ABC News is still promoting the myth that vegans need to deliberately combine proteins. Your body does it for you. Easy peasy, fuggedaboutit.
