FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs. Food Manufacturers Shiver in their Boots Red Dye No. 3 has mostly been used in baked goods, sweets and candies.  It is used by prominent candy manufacturers such as Mars Inc (Skittles) and Just Born Quality Confections (Peeps).  Food Manufacturing giants such as Con Agra, McCormick, Heinz, General Mills and Pepsi Co will all have to find alternatives for ...

Pamela Anderson Bares it All for New Vegan Bag Collection

Ashoka Paris, a French couture handbag house, has developed a revolutionary green manufacturing process, which entails substituting leather for bio sourced apple skin. The apple skin is made from apple waste in the Northern region of Italy while the linings of the interior of the handbags are made from recycled plastic waste.





Ashoka Paris’s hand bags are known for their gold brushed hardware, and embossed details. Pamela Anderson has always been an outspoken and committed activist for animal rights. The fashion design house teamed up with Pamela Anderson to design a capsule collection that promotes green and eco conscious fashion. Prototypes of the bags for the collection were introduced at Veggie World Paris in the fall of 2019.
The capsule collection collaboration features two different handbags which are available in four colors: a pinkish nude, terracotta, black and red. The “Pamela Box” is a medium sized handbag with signature brushed gold hardware and chain straps. Conscious messages also line the interior or straps.




The “Pamela Pouch” is a slightly smaller handbag with gold chain straps that can be doubled or worn singularly.




Conscious messages line the interior or straps of the handbag. The message in inside the handbags reads:
“RESIST! Inside every beautiful person is an activist wanting to defend the planet.”
Absolutely wonderful message and let's not start on how incredible pamela looks!!




I love the thought and craftmanship that went into the creation of the bags. The golden clasps featured on the bags were designed to resemble brass portholes of older sailing ships. The porthole has always been a symbol of freedom, according to Askoka Paris.
Both bags can be pre-ordered and will ship out in July. The bags begin at €230 (euros).
Visit www.ashokaparis.com to preorder bags from the collection.

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 outright...

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
