Jacob Thiele of The Faint: Get Yourself Some Good Veg Cookbooks
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 6th, 2008 in Male Musicians.
With a single out called, “The Geeks were Right,” we had to do our research and check out what else The Faint had to offer. They are a dance/punk new wave band from Omaha, Nebraska of all places. They were all avid skateboarders growing up, but when member Todd Fink developed knee problems, he turned his focus to music as well as recruiting his friends Dapose, Joel Peterson, Clark Baechle and vegetarian Jacob Thiele.
The band is currently teaming up with PETA and if you go to this website before August 13th, you can enter to win a copy of their latest CD, Fasciinatiion.
Member Jacob Thiele sat down to make a little video for PETA as well, where he discussed his motives for going vegetarian. He said he thinks animals shouldn’t have to die for “something as frivolous as a cheeseburger,” and thinks getting yourself a few good vegetarian and vegan cookbook should help people appreciate what you can get out of a veg lifestyle.
Apparently, he’s pretty convincing. He’s gotten both his grandfather and father, who grew up on a dairy farm, to start drinking soymilk for health reasons. Watch the rest of the video, get yourself some good veg cookbooks, and don’t forget to enter to win the free CD!
