Zac Brown Band Asked By PETA To Go Meatless

Southern living may be stereotyped as buttered rolls and pork chops, but who says country music stars can’t have breaded tofu in place of chicken fried steak?

The CMT blog reports The Zac Brown Band has been asked by PETA to consider going vegetarian and think twice about the values their song Chicken Fried is portraying.

“Life on the farm isn’t what it used to be,” PETA’s representative Michelle Cho wrote. “Green pastures and idyllic barnyards have been replaced by windowless, cramped, filthy metal sheds. Animals are treated as nothing more than products, with little regard for their health, happiness, or basic needs.”

The group also sent Coy Bowles,  Zac Brown,  Clay Cook,  Jimmy De Martini,  Chris Fryar and John Driskell Hopkins fake meats and suggested they host “eat and greet” sessions serving veggie food.

Maybe the boys will pick up a copy of Ann Jackson’s Cookin Southern Vegetarian Style and serve homemade jambalaya at the next big gig.
