Here’s How a Rescue Dog Named Frank Made Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Talk Again after a Big Fight

October 15, 2021

No matter how perfect a married life looks on the surface, there’s simply no such thing. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are both comedians who are, no doubt, a match made in heaven, but even if they look and sound adorable in front of the camera, they, too, have nasty fights, just like the ordinary husband and wife.

What’s admirable about the celebrity couple is that they have been vocal not just about the good bits in their relationship but also the bad ones. They have made it clear that they want to be transparent on what really goes inside the house, and that includes talking about the imperfect aspects of their family.

Pure Wow | Kristen Bell narrated how a recent huge fight ensued in their house

The Good Place star was recently a guest in Justin Long’s podcast, Life Is Short With Justin Long, where she discussed a recent argument between her and her husband. It was kind of a big fight – you know, one that involved shouting and all that.

Kristen explained that in their household, they agreed to be vocal when they needed help with something. So one day, she left a note with the chores she needed Dax to do, like throwing a couple of towels in the dryer and then folding them.

The Frozen voice actor further said that it was one of those days when there were a lot of things on her plate and she simply had no time to dry and fold the towels. A day after Kristen went home, Dax spilled that notes like what she had left made him feel controlled.

Instead of getting mad at her better half, the 39-year-old acknowledged the Parenthood star and asked him how she could be better in the way she asks for help for tasks in the house. Even though they tried to let their minds stay on top of the situation, their emotions reigned and the big fight consisting of loud shouts and harsh words ensued.

As a result, Kristen got her stuff and went to the front room, where she wept. The disagreement was so bad that the couple didn’t talk for three days!

Of course, there were times when they had to talk because of their kids, Lincoln and Delta. Kristen took their daughters to a dog café and video-called his husband about a rescue named Frank.

Long story short, Dax gave the green light to get the pupper despite his allergy to dogs. So there was no apology, whatsoever, but Kristen saw this as that and it was better than an actual sorry.

What’s Up with Fake Meat? Here’s Why You Should Give It a Try Earlier this year, power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z challenged their fans to join them in becoming vegan, even saying that it is of global importance. Plant-based diet champions are also encouraging the public to not eat meat, citing tons of supposed benefits. Because of the growing number of people switching their lifestyles, there is no doubt that the trend is booming more than ever. However, not all people are convinced of the practice, while others are afraid of a drastic change. But for some, the reason can be as simple as they’re unwilling to or couldn’t give up meat. Reasons to Give Up Meat Vegans have been laying out studies after studies detailing the benefits of eating plant-based food in order to urge people to switch to the other side. The number of those convinced is sharply soaring – a comparemarket.com survey saw 3.5 million Brits who admit they are vegan. The increase, according to University of Oxford’s Environmental Sustainability Knowledge Transfer Network former director Carolyn Roberts, may be due to the change of attitude toward environmental issues.

It makes up for 37 percent for methane induced by humans and accounts for 64 percent of ammonia. According to a study, we need to consume 90 percent less pork and 75 percent less beef all over the world just to keep the global temperature less than 2 degrees Celsius within the century. Don’t forget about the harm it does to the animals. The Rise of Fake Meat While the aforementioned facts are not enough to convince people to change their eating habits, the food industry came up with fake meats, which impressively taste like the real thing. You are forgiven if you think that meat substitutes were only made a couple of years ago, but according to Chinese food expert Fuchsia Dunlop, it originated in China. In fact, it deeply roots in the colorful and history-rich culinary culture of the Asian country.

An example of which was during the Tang dynasty when imitation pork and mutton dishes were served at a banquet hosted by an official. What Makes Fake Meat Taste Like the Real Deal? Fake meat manufacturers have a competition that’s pretty hard to beat, the real thing. That’s why they must make it a point that their products copy real meat exactly, especially the taste. How do they do this? Impossible Foods, famous for their Impossible Burger that has gotten rave reviews for tasting nothing like vegetables, credits heme, a result of a bioengineering process and is a molecule that gives the patty the “slightly metallic bloody flavor,” chief science officer David Lipman explained.

Impossible Foods’ goal is to compete with the price tag of Safeway’s 80/20 hamburger so that consumers’ decision-making may depend on their money.
