Vegetarian Star

Anti-Flag’s guitarist Justin Sane is vegetarian, but he’s willing to admit he likes meat.

From an interview with Alter The Press:

“So it’s really environmentally unfriendly to eat meat, most people don’t realise, but it’s something I try and get across: If you want to be an environmentalist, you really should be a vegetarian. That said, i really do miss meat, it sucks not eating meat! But it’s something i’m willing to give up for what i believe in.”

It’s nice to hear an honest response like that from someone so passionate about their vegetarianism. While it’s easy for those of us who vomit at the smell of ribs at your brother-in-law’s cookout every 4th of July to avoid meat, some vegs are really holding back from sinking their teeth into a rib-eye because of their beliefs.

And since simmering dead flesh is thrown at us more than sex in advertisement, it must be harder for them to restrain from temptation than it is for the Twilight Vegetarian Vampires to keep from sucking on their classmates in homeroom.

Enter fake meats.

In the beginning, there were simple veggie burgers. Now, we have veggie hot dogs, bacon, and sausages in every variety from Polish to Italian. What’s even better is that it’s easier to fulfill our “needs” more than ever as mainstream grocery stores are stocking up their vegetarian aisles and private and public establishments serving food have meatless options.

Are you a carnivore at heart who refrains because of your beliefs? What’s your favorite fake meat to keep you going?
