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.

Daiya Margherita Pizza Review



Vancouver, B.C. based Daiya brand foods, caters to individuals living a dairy free or vegan life style.  Daiya is most notably known for their vegan cheeses which come in different varieties (mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack).  Scurrying down the frozen pizza isle at Whole Foods, one couldn't help but notice that Daiya has frozen pizzas! Who knew?!




The most awesome aspect of the pizza is that they're also gluten free and free of the top 10 allergens. It's so hard to find frozen pizza that is also gluten free, soy free and dairy free.  There was a fire roasted vegetable pizza, margherita pizza and another type which we're unable to recall at the moment.  The margherita pizza looked so good, sitting there in the freezer. Absolutely had to have it!


The taste of this vegan pizza was definitely spot on!  The basil and tomato combination, along with Daiya's mozzarella shreds gave us pizza nostalgia for sure.  We don't know what was better, the crust or the toppings.  The GF crust was just perfect, actually one of the best gluten free pizza crusts we've tasted in a long time.  It was a thin, crispy, yet slightly chewy crust.  It went so well with the sauce, cheeses and toppings.  A little garlic powder and parsley was sprinkled over the pizza before indulging. 


This was given to a few heavy dairy eaters and they were quite pleased with the pizza!  With that said, Daiya, simply natural solutions gives your pizza our stamp of approval.  You've been such a great help in providing various options to the dairy free and vegan communities. Be sure to keep us in the know!

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

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
