TAGGED: tofu scramble, Vegan, vegan cupcakes, vegan food, vegan reuben, vegan substitutes, veganism
I have to admit, I spend a lot of time devouring scrumptious deliumptious vegan grubz. And all the times I’m not noshing on vegan feasties, I’m fantasizing about what I wanna eat for my next meal. 
Ever since I went vegan several years ago, I developed a new appreciation for food. Everything is more exciting and savor-worthy, especially knowing that it’s guilt-free—no animals were harmed and I’m helping save the planet!
Next time someone asks you what you eat as a vegan, tell them everything! There really is a vegan substitute for every meat, egg and dairy product out there. Don’t believe me? Check out these drool-worthy vegan delish dishes:
What’s your all time favorite vegan dish?

TAGGED: fur fashion, fur is dead, Michael Kors, Project Runway, Tim Gunn
Project Runway‘s eighth season premieres tonight, and coinkidinkily I just heard about an opportunity to let judge Michael Kors know what we think of his designs—which include real fur. Kors tweeted that he will be answering questions from his fans in a Facebook video on August 4.
Let’s take him up on his offer and flood him with questions, such as “Did you know that animals are skinned alive for their fur?” and “With all the luxurious faux furs that are available, why do you continue to kill animals?” or maybe “Would you submit to a brain scan to see if your empathy neurons are underdeveloped?”
Kors needs to follow in the steps of Runway star Tim Gunn, who speaks out against fur and ensures that Project Runway‘s challenges are never fur-related.
Let’s all urge Michael Kors to ditch the fur!

TAGGED: Animal Testing, blast, NASA, one minute mission, radiation, vivisection
All right folks, it’s time we step up our game and expose NASA’s cruel plan to torture monkeys!
If you haven’t heard already, NASA is planning to fund a nearly $2 million project in which up to 30 squirrel monkeys will be exposed to a large, harmful dose of radiation. Not only will they be locked in steel cages without any companionship and forced to endure years of behavioral tests, they will likely suffer from brain damage, skin inflammation, blindness, various types of cancer, including brain tumors, and premature death!
Check out our Do You Really Know NASA? video:
Let’s speak up for these monkeys by blasting NASA’s Facebook page with this video!
Here’s what you gotta do:
- Go to NASA’s Facebook page and “Like” the page.
- Check out our Do You Really Know NASA? video on YouTube and copy the URL.
- Share the link on NASA’s wall. It’ll look like this:
Once you post the video, take a screenshot and send it along to StreetTeam@peta2.com. We’ll hook you up with 500 Street Team points for taking action!
Thanks everyone!
Stay loud!Recipe of the Week: ‘Eff the Heat’ Fruit Kabobs! July 29th, 2010

TAGGED: fruit, kabobs, recipe of the week, recipes, summertime
As you’ve no doubt noticed, it’s as hot as Olivia Wilde outside this week. And while barbecuing can be fun in the summertime, who really wants to fire up a hot grill when your face is melting, Indiana Jones-style?
That’s why I’ve decided to help us all beat the heat together with this cool and refreshing twist on an old classic.
I give you, the fruit kabob:
What you’ll need:
- Two (or more) skewers
- An assortment of fresh fruits (I used pineapple, strawberries, banana, and kiwi)
- Your favorite soy yogurt (I used peach-flavored)
I think we all know where this is going, but for our slower readers out there (*cough* Kanye *cough*), all you need to do is cut the fruit into little cubes and circles, and then stab the skewers through them, as shown above. Pour your yogurt into a dipping bowl, and dig in!
** Warning: This recipe carries a high risk of popularity among your overheating neighbors, and can result in an influx of new best friends, many of whom are simply in it for your delicious fruit. This can cause increased veganism among the friends, which must be reported to your local Street Team Coordinator immediately. **

TAGGED: ATL, Atlanta, elephants never forget, Warped Tour
I’m always stoked when I see people showing their support for animal rights, but Atlanta really represented at Warped Tour on Monday. Check out all these awesome people showing that they’ll never go to a circus that uses animals, then be sure to take the pledge yourself!
Looking for another way to speak up for elephants? Can you do a cartwheel? Are you a hula hooping maniac? Maybe you can touch your feet to your head, like I can (watch this video for proof). If you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about, check this out. There’s even a trip to Vegas up for grabs! I’m all kinds of jealous.

We’ve been talking all summer about how cruel and ridiculous the circus is. Elephants do not naturally stand on their heads or walk upright. Hello—clearly something is wrong here! Why would you want to go to the circus to see animals being forced to perform tricks, and spend your hard earned cash supporting that industry? The answer is simple—you wouldn’t!
That’s why we asked some our favorite bands like Silverstein, Never Shout Never, Stereo Skyline, and Sing It Loud, to provide you with some entertaining tricks of their own and a ton of awesome things to do this summer to stay busy! So, next time your parents or teachers or whoever ask why you don’t want to go to the circus, you can say, “why would I want to watch animals who have been beaten in order to make them perform, when I could watch my favorite bands do this instead?!” …
Do you have a hidden talent you’re dying to show the world? Send it in to peta2 and you could win a trip for two to Vegas! Find out how!

Stay loud!Lucky #13 for Veg Star Carrie Underwood July 27th, 2010
- Posted at 05:10 pm | Permalink | Comments ( 3 ) | Trackback
Apparently the old saying that once you’ve reached the top, there’s nowhere to go but down, doesn’t apply to country singing sensation Carrie Underwood.
The sexy vegetarian/American Idol winner/multi-platinum selling recording artist has just topped the charts with yet another number one single! “Undo It” has officially claimed the throne of the Billboard Country Chart, making it Underwood’s second number one hit of 2010 and 13th of her career. Can I get a “you go, girl!” from the ladies on the blog?!
If that’s not enough veg star power for ya—the other former American Idol contestant and Sexiest Vegetarian winner, Kellie Pickler, is also staying strong on the charts. I guess saving the lives of more than 100 animals every year really helps your karma!

It’s true, mean people do breed dogs. Why? Because all breeders fuel the companion animal overpopulation problem, and every time someone purchases a puppy or a kitten instead of adopting from an animal shelter, homeless animals lose their chance of finding a home.
Our “Mean People Breed Dogs” tee (with “Nice People Adopt Dogs” on the back) is a super cute and comfortable way to tell the world that adoption is the only compassionate choice. This eco-friendly tee is not only adorbs, but it’s made from 100% organic cotton, using only renewable green energy from wind and solar power.
