National Vegetarian Week is almost here
National Vegetarian week is coming up in May (18th - 24th) and in recognition, I found some interesting veggie news that I thought I'd share.
Indian brothers come up with 'veggie condoms' in Britain - yup, you read it correctly. They're called veggie rubbers and they lack the milk-based casing used in other condoms. Read the article here.
Meet Dante: Britain's first vegetarian cat who refuses to eat meat or fish.
In the U.S., chickens killed by McDonald's suppliers are slaughtered using an outdated method that results in extreme suffering. As the biggest seller of chicken meat in the U.S., McDonald's has the responsibility�and the ability�to reduce this abuse by demanding that its U.S. suppliers use a less cruel method of slaughter. Learn more.
Victory: First-Ever Felony Charges of Cruelty to Factory-Farmed Birds.

Who knew Meatloaf was a vegetarian? Check out other famous vegetarian celebrities here.
A vegan strip club? Seriously, what will they think of next??
Over 1.3 billion human beings could be fed each year from the grain and soybeans that go to livestock in the United States.
Alaskan buffalo have been observed charging down hills and sliding across icy ponds, bellowing with delight, and then climbing back up the hill to do it again.
Mother cows have crashed fences and traveled for miles to reunite with calves sold to other farms.
Just say no to zoos and circuses.
Vegetarians have better sex.

Largest animal EVER to have existed
I have no idea what prompted me to google the Blue Whale this morning, but I did, and this is what I learned:
Length: up to 108 feet
Weight: 190 short tons (a short ton is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds)
Blue Whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans until the beginning of the twentieth century. For over 40 years, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966. A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 Blue Whales worldwide.
How many do you think there are today?
Always stunning
It still blows my mind that Halle Berry is 43. Look at that skin! And, those cheek bones! And how shiny her hair is! I mean, she's stunning. Always stunning. I don't particularly love the dress, but she totally looks amazing in it. And, I love her even more now that she admitted recently to loving Doritos. The one and only thing she and I have in common....
