The Three Ingredient Vegan Junk Food You’ve Probably Been Eating for Years

March 12, 2008

Most of the food your average American buys and eats off the shelf of the local grocery store is full of processed fillers and artificial colors and flavors. Check out the ingredients list of anything in the Chips and Soda aisle and you’ll be spun by the 50+ things listed there. Who doesn’t like a bit of Disodium Inosinate and Red #40 with their Whole Corn and Buttermilk Solids?

Lucky for us green junk food lovers there is a vegan, three ingredient choice in the Chip aisle- Fritos.

Fritos are made with Whole Corn, Corn Oil, and Salt. Three ingredients- two from corn and one from the sea (or ground, depending on where you get your salt from).

Pure awesome.

PETA to Britney Spear’s Parents: Get That Girl on a Vegan Diet!

February 15, 2008

crazy-brit.jpgI’m with Michael over at Ecorazzi who mildly lays into PETA for sending a letter to the parents Britney Spears encouraging them to put Brit’ on an all vegan diet to solve her crazies.

Michael has it:

The letter then goes on to say that Britney should immediately be placed on a Vegan diet to benefit her mental and physical health. Ingrid even includes a copy of PETA’s free “Vegetarian Starter Kit”. How kind.

We cover PETA consistently on this site and respect the efforts they take to make the world a better place for animals. However, this is one of those actions that only invites ridicule and senselessly exploits the troubles of another individual to push forward an agenda. This is over the top, plain and simple.

Right on. PETA fights the good fight, but sometimes they step over the Stupid Line. This is one of those times.
