    Ladies, allow me to introduce you to Jonathan Fagerlund:

    But first, a disclaimer: Even when my husband is goofing off for the camera, I think he's a hunk.

     

    Tim

     

    Not only is Tim good-looking, he also refuses to eat animals, confronts every fur hag he encounters, and participates in horse-drawn carriage protests.

    So I assure you, the only reason that my heart's all aflutter right now is the triple red-eye I had earlier—not because I have a thing for Swedish singer Jonathan Fagerlund.

    Sure, he's smokin' hot. And talented—at 18 years old, he's already appeared in a television series and released two albums. But above all else, Jonathan is compassionate. He just set up a True Friends Memorial and donated $500 to help animals who are victims of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment. He even links to the memorial page on his Web site and encourages his fans to take action.

    Now, before you start combing through pages of Jonathan's photos on Google Images,why don't you follow his lead and honor someone's memory on PETA's True Friends site?

  • Moby vs. Al Gore

    I got my first vegan pancake recipe from Moby when his berry flapjacks were featured way back when in Seventeen magazine.

    He could have stopped there, but it seems like Moby keeps coming up with ways to win my animal-loving heart.

    In a recent blog entry, Moby goes the extra mile for animals and the planet by calling out "environmentalist" Al Gore over his refusal to ever mention that animal consumption is the leading cause of climate change. Moby says:

    i asked al gore about why he didn't mention this in an 'inconvenient truth' (as animal production is responsible for more greenhouse gases than every car, bus, truck … plane, boat on the planet COMBINED). he answered honestly, basically saying that getting people to drive a hybrid car isn't that difficult. getting people to give up animal products is almost impossible. i appreciated his honesty. so i guess i'll be talking about climate change tomorrow, and i guess i'll have to mention the most inconvenient of inconvenient truths, that you can't talk seriously about climate change and global warming without looking at the role of animal production (animal production being responsible for 24% of greenhouse gas emissions and also the #1 cause of deforestation in the rainforest).

    Gore should have named his movie Sorta-Inconvenient Truths if he didn't want to cover the environmental destruction that his meaty diet causes.
