Photos of the 2009-2010 Sea Shepherd Antarctic Campaign So Far

AR photographer Jo-Anne McArthur has been documenting the Sea Shepherd Antarctic campaign this year, and many of her pics are now up at her website.

She's been taking photos from Sea Shepherd's heretofore secret ship, the Bob Barker. So you'll see a lot in these photos that you haven't been able to follow just from the press releases of the campaign.

You'll see things that happened to the Bob Barker well before its existence was made public. You'll see the crew getting the ship ready for the campaign, you'll see the ship getting surrounded by whaling ships, and you'll watch the Bob Barker crew rescuing the crew of the Ady Gil after the Shonan Maru #2 rammed the Ady.

If you're like me and some of your best friends are on those ships, these pics will seriously brighten your day.

January 13, 2010 1:05pm
Eric of Sun In Bloom was on Good Day NY on Tuesday making vegan western burritos! He provides the how-to in the video, and the ingredients are below. Before you watch, I just want to say:

1. I ate these. They are delicious.
2. I'm sorry to make you watch Fox!
3. I'm double-triple sorry for the sloppy eating noises Greg Kelly makes while downing this tasty wrap. Not judging or anything, Greg, but you're miked! Keep it down!
4. Eric is probably replacing some horrible inane news. Yay!


Vegan western burrito
1-1/2 cup soaked sunflower seeds
1/4 cup onion
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup peppers
Seasonings
Ranch dressing
Fresh salsa
Shredded cabbage
Zucchini
Avocado
Sprouts
Ezekiel sprouted wrap

P.S., guys, I know you're wondering, since when is SuperVegan the Sun In Bloom Show?? Since SIB is GETTING SHIT DONE! (Also since they're reporting Gyllenhaal sightings on the weekend. You heard it here!)

The SuperVegan Round-Up, December 18: Vegan Treats, Vegan Drinks, and Dennis Kucinich and vegan brownies

December 19, 2009 1:27am

  • We partied at Vegan Drinks like never before. This slideshow proves it! Excellent photography, Mr. Mitchell.
  • Danielle Konya of Vegan Treats baked vegan cookies on NBC's The 10! Show.
  • Representative Dennis Kucinich, Democrat from Ohio and two-time presidential hopeful, told Reddit in an interview that he wants everyone to eat vegan brownies. (Hey, me too!) Scroll over to about minute 18 to watch him answer this question: "If you were made the absolute dictator of the U.S. for one day, what are some of the things you would do?”

Vegan Treats's Danielle Konya Bakes on The 10! Show

December 18, 2009 9:15pm
Just you TRY to guess who gave a vegan baking demo on NBC's The 10! Show today. Danielle of Vegan Treats shows us how it's done in this video, in which she bakes Chocolate Peppermint Dreams. Watch her masterfully mix, bake, and frost some festive confections. Also, watch the hosts cut her off as she succinctly describes the environmental and animal-related advantages to eating vegan.



I am intrigued by her use of Tofutti sour cream, Ener-G egg replacer, and the delicate way she avoids palm oil. Oh, just GIVE ME THAT COOKIE. Danielle, you got it goin ON.

The SuperVegan Round-up, December 14: New Herbivore book, puppies in M.O. need help, Food, Inc. on Netflix, winter-shaped marshmallows, Match Meats, and AR victories in '09

Hot new coffee table book from Herbivore Clothing.  Hot, I say!

The SuperVegan Round-Up, December 10: Fur-seller biz dies, interview with Cocoa V owner, Blossom to open on UES, Tal Ronnen continues to be awesome, and more!

Oh, man.  Otters.  This one's photo via Mr. Addition.

  • A fur retailer is going out of business. Thank you, mindful consumers, the recession, and anyone else who might have had a role in the demise of this.
  • Pamela Blackwell, owner of two-week-old Cocoa V and older beloved vegan joints Blossom, and Blossom Uptown, chatted with the Village Voice about vegan chocolates, nut cheese, and bacon. If you've been to Cocoa V, leave us a review, pronto!
  • Speaking of Blossom, they're opening a new location next week on the Upper East Side on First Avenue between 79th and 80th streets. GO, BLOSSOM, GO.
  • Chef Tal Ronnen of Oprah and Gardein fame was all up in Extra dispelling ridonculous myths about vegans. See: the food tastes bad, vegans are starving, and vegans are poor because we must spend all our money on expensive gross vegetables.
  • We respond to the Weston A. Price Foundation's perverse attempts to justify eating animals.
  • A little birdie tells us the NYC Chipotle locations might soon be market-testing their Gardein filling.
  • Finally, otters are SO ADORABLE. Just try to tell me they're not. I said JUST TRY.

Watch This Video: 30 Days: Animal Rights

November 22, 2009 10:37pm
If you haven't watched Morgan Spurlock's ingenious show 30 Days, at least watch this fantastic episode from June '08, in which he plants a hunter in the gentle, competent hands of a family of vegan animal activists. It's got EVERYTHING: Face-to-face interactions with rescued factory-farmed creatures? Check. PETA demos? Mmmmhmm. The insides of a dairy production facility? Yeah, they've somehow got that. Animal rescue in action? It's all here. You gotta watch this. And send it to at least 50 of your closest friends. (Via VegWeb. Yay, internet revival of this.)



And on the topic of vegan TV exposure, anyone else see Dr. Oz turn a cowboy vegan? Now THAT guy knows how to scare folks into a healthy diet.

Latest Episode of "Bones" was all AR/Vegan!

November 6, 2009 7:16pm
The latest episode of the popular mainstream Fox TV show "Bones" featured an animal rights/veg story line. Entitled "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken," it's surprisingly jam-packed with info and intelligent discussion. Centered on a murder at a poultry processing plant, footage and info on how chickens are treated were shown, including video of the debeaking of newborn chicks. It isn't all blood 'n' guts (they show those images only briefly), there is an emotional discussion between characters on the ethics of saving one pig from slaughter. Animal activists are also part of the story line. But that's enough. I won't spoil it...



I suspect the star (and a producer) of the show, Emily Deschanel, an ethical vegan, had something to do with it. Go "Bones"!

You can watch the episode on Hulu for free or click on the image above.

Vegan MoFo Mashup

October 30, 2009 10:36pm
Listen up! Natalie goes vegan!

Listen up! Natalie goes vegan!

As readers know, October was the third annual Vegan Month of Food. Started by celebrity chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz, vegan mofos everywhere posted daily blogs in celebration of our favorite subject — food! Vegan Month of Food kicked off with World Vegetarian Day and ends with a bang tomorrow at the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. In addition to this sandwich of events, here is a completely subjective roundup of things that made October one mofo of a month!

In the Mainstream

Vegan for the Animals
Author Jonathan Safran Foer made a big splash with a taster from his new book Eating Animals, published as a feature article in the NY Times Magazine's Food issue. After reading Eating Animals, actress Natalie Portman went vegan and announced her reasons in her essay "Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals Turned Me Vegan" for the Huffington Post (that counts as a MoFo blog, right?). Blink 182 drummer (and rehabilitated puppy-juicer) Travis Barker has once again seen the light. He says he's back to being vegetarian and "almost full blown vegan now."

Vegan for the Environment
We've been saying it all along but it looks like we may finally be arriving at a tipping point. Even mainstream sources and enviro orgs are agreeing that eating meat causes global warming and going veg reduces your carbon footprint. Omnivore's Dilemma author and foodie darling Michael Pollan stuck his foot in it by stating: "A vegan in a Hummer has a lighter carbon footprint than a beef eater in a Prius." Then retracted the statement the next day. I thought it was fuzzy math to begin with (here's an interview with one of the original researchers and number crunchers), but I hope his blunder doesn't cloud the issue, which is that vegans have a substantially lighter overall effect on the environment than meat-eaters. Duh. Joining the bandwagon, the WorldWatch Institute's latest magazine asks the question, "Carnivorism and climate change: Is it worse than we thought?"

Of Zombies, Vegan Twinkies and Movie Snacks

October 5, 2009 1:15pm

My weekend consisted of Zombies (Zombieland!), Roller-Girls (Whip-It!), thoughts of Vegan Twinkies (Woody Harrelson kicks ass!), Vegan Sushi (Soy and Sake!) and plenty of Vegan Movie Candy!

In my humble opinion a movie should always be paired with some sort of snack; whether it be popcorn (most Movie Theater popcorn is vegan - sans buttersludge) or candy - even if you have to sneak it in.

Join me as I rattle through my top five favorite movie snacks!
