Meatless Mouthful: Singer Nellie McKay Calls Herself A “Junkatarian”
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 4th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
English born singer-songwriter Nellie McKay has won praise for her albums such as Get Away From Me, Pretty Little Head, and Obligatory Villagers. She also was a stand up comedian. A beautiful woman, who sings well, is funny, and vegan? Some people have too much of an advantage.
“I’m a junkatarian meaning I’m vegan to the best of my ability but I like to order French fries all the time. To displace feminism, I don’t like to cook much so I order out a lot and often I order French fries. I find being a vegan very hard. It’s a huge pain in the ass, everyday I try but it’s hard. But if everyone cuts down just a little, like cut one meat product out of your life or cut back a day of meat a week, that will make a change. I finally decided to become a vegan while I was eating a Sunday at Denny’s, I thought it’s time, I know whats going on, I need to make a change, it needs to happen. The animals, if they could, they’d thank you.”
