Russell Brand Goes Vegan! British funnyman and longtime vegetarian, Russell Brand announced to the world that he has decided to take the leap into the vegan lifestyle. He tweeted “I’m now vegan, goodbye eggs, hello Ellen.” The documentary “Forks Over Knives” seems to have played a role in convincing him to make the switch, because his tweet followed wife Katy Perry’s tweet about them watching the documentary. “Forks Over Knives” is now out on DVD.

Vegan Warrington BBC - Democracy Live - Russell Brand: Addiction is an illness not a crime Addiction should be treated as a health problem rather than a criminal matter, comedian Russell Brand has told a committee of MPs. The 36-year-old former heroin addict described addiction as an "illness" and said that those suffering from it should be treated with "compassion". He advocated an "abstinence-based recovery" approach, telling MPs this was how he overcame his addiction to drugs, which he said was caused by emotional, psychological and spiritual difficulties. He said he thought the money spent on arresting drug addicts would be better spent on treating them, as he gave evidence to the Home Affairs Committee on 24 April 2012, as part of its inquiry into drugs policy. Mr Brand spoke alongside Chip Somers, chief executive of drug rehab charity Focus 12, which runs an abstinence-based rehabilitation programme; the celebrity became a patron of the charity in 2005 after seeking help for his drugs problem there. Mr Somers also called for "more honest" information on drugs in schools.

Vegfam | Home ¦ Vegfam Charity Why Twitter’s Co-Founders are Betting Big on a Vegan Meat Startup Twitter co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams are investing big in Beyond Meat, a start-up company that manufactures “the first plant protein that looks, feels, tastes, and acts like meat.” In addition to tasting and feeling like “real meat,” the company’s lineup of products are also healthier than meat, with no cholesterol or saturated fat, but plenty of plant-based protein. A 3 oz serving of the chicken strips has just 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and 19 grams of protein! Right now, Beyond Meat ships wholesale for less than the cost of most organic, free-range, and “natural” meats. While it is still more expensive than factory-farmed meat, the price point is expected to drop as the company scales up its production. An Obvious Idea? The Obvious Corporation, a company founded by Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone and former Twitter VP of Product Jason Goldman, typically works with tech-based companies. Too Meaty? But how will vegetarians and vegans respond to the product?
