PETA Protester Confronts Pharrell Williams During Film Premiere

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.

PlantPub Opens 2nd Location in Boston

Have you heard about Plantpub?  Plantpub is redefining the pub experience in America and offers a 100% plant based menu featuring classic American favorites and local New England ales and craftbeers.  This is a major accomplishment in the vegan and plant based restaurant scene.  Plantpub opened in the Fall of 2021 and they’re now opening a new 8,000 sq ft location this spring which will be situated across the street from Boston’s Fenway Park.  


It’s hard to believe that classic comfort and sports bar favorites can be 100% plant based but Plantpub is making this happen.  The menu features items such as 

Loaded Nachos





Pulled Pork Sandwich






Buffalo Wings






Chicken Caesar Salad





Fried Chicken Sandwich






                      An Array of pizzas (Wild Mushroom Truffle & Margherita)







The menu offers gluten free, soy free and nut free versions which great for people with nut allergies ; ) and sensitivity to gluten.  Guys, you don’t know how excited I am to hear about Plantpub! Look at how amazing this vegan food looks.  You know sometimes vegetarians and vegans get a bad wrap from out meat eater friends.  People often turn up their noses and say comments like “ewww… vegan? I want real meat and real cheese.” Or “I could never give up eating meat!”  Plantpub is proof that plant based or vegan food can be as delicious as the non-vegan versions.


Plantpub was founded by celebrity Chef, Mary Dumont & craft beer entrepreneur, Pat McAuley who went plant based for personal health and also for the planet.  Their mission is to make plant based food “fun for  all.”’  They clearly are accomplishing just that with the opening of their 2nd location.  That was a brilliant idea to open across from famed stadium, Fenway Park. The new space will be able to seat up to 300 people. 

It’s been a while since I visited Boston but I can promise that I’ll be touching down again very soon (yes, just to visit Plantpub) hahahha!!  I can only wish that Plantpub founders (later on down the line) think about opening a location in Times Square. As a Yelp Elite member, I will make a review for the Boston location. I know it will be good! Cheers to you Plant Pub!!!!


The newest Plantpub location can be accessed at:


61 Brookline Ave
Boston, MA 02215

The other location is in Cambridge, MA

675 W Kendall St
Cambridge, MA 02142

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

Octavia Spencer plays Mother Earth in Apple Commercial. Keeping Apple in Check!

Image
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
