All you bonkers people who say you're like "allergic to wheat" and gluten and dairy or whatever? 75% of you are LIARS who have never asked a doctor about your so-called allergy, says a new U.K. survey. So stop coming over with your tempeh and your rice flour already, because I'm going to stuff a piece of bread slathered in butter down your throat. [
Alyssa Milano is the latest celebrity to help PETA’s efforts, slipping on one of the organization’s now-famous gowns made entirely of vegetables. I would really love to know who designs these gowns, and what they do with the vegetables afterwards.
What do you get the guy who dresses like Elvis, sings like Elvis, and wants to show you the Elvis collection in the back of his Cadillac? Besides a restraining order, consider putting a little more jive into his rendition of Heartbreak Hotel with some organic, fair trade
