Built on a Simple Weekly Habit and Grounded In Academic Rigor, Iconic Public Health Campaign Marks 20 Year Milestone and Global Impact
NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2023 /Vwire/ — Meatless Monday is celebrating its 20th birthday, marking two decades of encouraging people to reduce meat in their diet for their health and the health of the planet…
One of the most unique figures from the Indian indie scene, Baghdadi is a name synonymous with folk, funk and freedom. The innovative artist now joins hands with II Music for his latest song ‘Jailan’.
‘Jailan’ is a gripping showpiece of Baghdadi’s distinct brand of music. A snazzy tune with a refreshingly rustic soul, it takes the best of Punjabi folk and gives it a super cool hip-hop twist. While the music drops quite a few funky beats, the lyrics are as raw, rooted and Punjabi as they can get. This tune will appeal to the Gen Z crowd as well as adventurous connoisseurs of Indian folk.
Written, composed and performed to stylish aplomb by Baghdadi, what makes this track stand out is the seamless medley of old school Punjabi spice and new age contemporary sizzle. ‘Jailan’ also sees talented music producer Trip Beats weave his signature fusion of bass heavy modern beats and classical folk elements.
A musician, pioneer and maverick rolled into one; Baghdadi redefines the phrase ‘out of the box’. A rising star who hails from the heart of Punjab, Baghdadi is a one-of-his-kind ‘masked artist’ who lets his music do the talking. He may not have revealed his face, but his work always wins countless hearts all over the nation.
‘Jailan’ also boasts of a swanky music video that is as cool and unique as the song itself. Featuring Baghdadi in all his masked glory, the Harriex and KaranDope directorial drips swagger in each and every frame. The entire look of the video exudes a hyper real and cyberpunk aesthetic. Christened as the Leo BRTHR’s, directors Harriex and KaranDope’s penchant for vivid frames is on its full display in the video. The music video has been produced under the banner of Karan Productions, a leading production house based in Chandigarh.
Talking about his latest piece of work, Baghdadi said, “The idea behind Jailan was to create a song that has the peppy thrill of folk and the modern funk of hip-hop. After that, we added many more layers to create a nice web of genres. Jailan’s music video is as freaky cool as the song, and I am really looking forward to the reactions to my latest work”.
Sharing his thoughts on the release, Rohit Sobti, Co-Founder, II Music, said, “Baghdadi is one of those rare artists who cherishes his folk roots, but also embraces contemporary genres with equal love. His work is a rocking mix of modern and classic. Jailan is crafted from a similar mold. Punjabi folk is its core, and hip-hop is the secret sauce that makes it a groovy delight. This track can surely thump its way into playlists”.
Baghdadi has always kept it fun, fresh and original with his music. With ‘Jailan’, he is once again at his entertaining best!
The song ‘Jailan’ is available on all leading music platforms. The music video is now live on YouTube.
Amazon miniTV – Amazon’s free video streaming service, recently released a sports drama series, Slum Golf which is being applauded for its strong and inspiring narrative along with deep rooted characters who have struck the perfect chord with audiences across India. Following the story of a young boy Pawan, who hails from the slums of Mumbai, the series sheds light on the hardships and societal differences he witnesses in his journey of becoming a professional golfer. Starring Sharad Kelkar, Mayur More and Arjan Aujla in pivotal roles, the series is streaming on Amazon miniTV for free.
Mayur More who essays the role of Pawan in the series, shared his experience and perspective of working in such a unique show. “The concept was quite different and it was the first time something like this was happening in India. There have been stories on golf before but this one is very interesting as it has so much detailing. The story where it takes place and where it ends is very interesting as well. I myself have not played golf before, not even thought of playing it. I remember watching a golf match in the Olympics and I tried to understand how it was played. The experience was quite unique and I thought that it would be interesting to do this. If we pull it off well, it will be the first of its kind in India,” he said.
Talking about his character, he further shared how he feels. He expressed, “If I weren’t portraying Pawan, I doubt I’d be taking on any other character. I really liked Pawan’s character and it was quite challenging to portray it. Obviously learning how to play golf was the biggest challenge in itself. I feel Pawan was the strongest character.”
Indulge in this endearing tale and experience the range of emotions with Slum Golf on Amazon miniTV available on Amazon’s shopping app, on Fire TV, and on Play Store.

Colorado Springs, CO. Nov. 16th, 2023. As the holiday season approaches, Complement, a leading provider of sustainable and plant-based products, is taking a unique approach to gift-giving that embodies the true spirit of the season. This year, Complement is thrilled to announce a heartwarming holiday initiative that not only makes a difference in the lives of children in need, but also encourages us all to get back to the true meaning of the holidays.
For the past year, Complement has donated one meal for every product that has been purchased from their website. Recently, Complement surpassed the milestone of 50,000 plant-based meals donated to children in need, and since then announced its ambitious pledge to donate a total of 1,000,000 meals. In the spirit of this pledge, they have created a no-purchase necessary holiday initiative.
From November 16th to December 25th, Complement is inviting everyone to participate in an initiative that combines the joy of gifting with the power of giving back. For every email sign-up received during this period, Complement will donate a plant-based meal to children in need across the world.
The holiday season is traditionally a time for coming together, giving thanks, and spreading joy. Unfortunately, amidst the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s easy to lose sight of the true spirit of the season. This year, Complement is encouraging people to step back and consider the less fortunate among us.
“It’s a simple act with a profound impact,” says Matt Tullman, Co-Founder and CEO of Complement, “There are countless children in developing countries who lack access to basic necessities like food and clean water. Our initiative is about coming together as a community and sharing our blessings with those who need them the most.”
This heartwarming initiative isn’t about making a purchase or a monetary donation; it’s about making a commitment to do good in the world. By signing up for Complement’s newsletter during the holiday season, you’re not just joining a mission; you’re becoming part of a global movement to make the world a better place.
Complement has partnered with Food For Life Global to ensure that every donated meal reaches a child in need. The initiative aligns with the company’s core values of sustainability, compassion, and plant-based living.

The #1 most-requested item, MorningStar Farms® vegan Riblets, embarks on a “Return Tour” and unlike other elusive rib options, Riblets are here to stay.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9, 2023 /Vwire/ — To all the fast-food rib-loving enthusiasts out there, gone are the days of waiting a whole year to enjoy a saucy sandwich only to say farewell, yet again. If you’re tired of certain sandwiches playing with your emotions, it’s time to ditch the drive-thru lane and simply head down the freezer aisle for MorningStar Farms® instead.
Riblets – the #1 most requested item from MorningStar Farms® – is finally making a comeback nationwide after over five years, and we know everyone from meat lovers to flexitarians to vegans will be loving it all year long.
Riblets is embarking on a “Return Tour” to reward loyal Riblets fans and welcome new ones, leading up to the nationwide return to retail in Spring 2024.
“MorningStar Farms Riblets left shelves in 2018 and ever since then, loyal fans have petitioned, begged, and demanded to get Riblets back in their lives,” said Joe Beauprez, Senior Director of Marketing, Frozen Foods. “You asked. We’ve answered. Unlike certain fast-food sandwiches, there’s nothing ‘limited’ about this return – Riblets are here to stay.”
MorningStar Farms® Riblets will be returning to shelves in Spring 2024 in two tasty sauces, Sweet BBQ and Korean BBQ, and come in a convenient, ready to cook and serve tray of 2 riblets for an SRP of $8.79. Enjoy with a fork, with your fingers, or even with pickles and onions on a homestyle bun (wink wink). Packed with 26 grams of protein, these vegan Riblets are tender and juicy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that will keep you coming back for more.
Stay tuned for more news from MorningStar Farms and a chance to get first dibs on these “ribs” very soon.
