Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outrightly agreed with the protester.  "Ok.

NEED Brands Launches Herbal Tea for Moms

Pregnant women and new mothers have to face many changes and transitions on the journey to and through motherhood. For new mothers, nothing can be worse than not being able to produce enough milk for your baby. Twin actresses and mothers, Tia and Tamera Mowry, infused their creative minds together in order to develop a product for lactating women everywhere.
Milky, a product of NEED Brands, is a natural, chemical-free herbal tea that assists in a woman's production of milk when taken orally. After having their own bout of trouble with lactation, Tia and Tamera decided to go out and research ingredients that helped to encourage lactation.
Viewers and fans alike were able to see the twins' passion for creating a lactation product for new mothers on Season 3 of their reality show on the Style Network. The celebrity sisters found that herbs like fenugreek and fennel, were extremely helpful for increasing the production of breast milk.
Fennel and fenugreek have been used for centuries in many different herbal remedies. Fennel possesses phytoestrogens and phytonutrients that help to increase milk supply. Not only do fenugreek and fennel have a great ability to assist in increased milk production; they are essential herbs that help to boost the immune system and provide antioxidant protection. Herbs like fennel can be consumed in a variety of ways; as a tea, raw vegetable or as an herb.



Mothers who are picky about the taste of hot herbal teas do not have to worry because Milky is available in a great tasting strawberry flavor. Milky is a product of the sisters' company, NEED Brands, LLC. NEED Brands also provides other products for pregnant women and new mothers. The sisters have expressed their plan to offer a range of products for mothers and children. They will be launching a line of body care products which consists of a hand sanitizer (Squeaky), plant based body moisturizer (Softy), and lip balm (Kissy).
"I think what's so great about this brand that my sister and I have developed, is that this was created by our own experiences, by being moms," expressed Tia.
Milky launched last May at the pregnancy superstore, Destination Maternity. Guests included Tia and Tamera's husbands, Adam Housley and Cory Hardrict. Expectant mother and singer, Tamar Braxton and Chudney Ross were also in attendance. Milky is currently available through Destination Maternity, Motherhood Maternity and A Pea in the Pod. It is also available for purchase online through the NEED Brands website. Consumers can purchase Milky in weekly, monthly, 60 day or 90 day supply.
There has been a gap in the marketplace for all natural, additive-free, vegan products that cater to mothers and children. NEED Brands has certainly fulfilled this gap.

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include

As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
