Moby No Longer Self Righteous About Vegan Lifestyle
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 25th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.
Moby is a reformed vegan.
Although in the past, he sometimes refused to speak to non vegans, he confessed at the Genesis Awards that he used to have a holier than thou attitude towards the non vegans until he realized that being a jerk didn’t do much for converting or saving any creature other than his ego.
During an interview with Grant Butler of the Oregonian, the musician said, “There are a lot of people in the animal rights movement who can be very passionate and aggressive, and I applaud people’s passion, but when people are judgmental and aggressive, all you end up doing is getting other people to turn away in irritation. To change people’s minds, you have to respect the people you’re talking to. Part of that is presenting the facts available, and not being pedantic or judgmental.”
So expect to see a passionate, but respectful character if you catch him on his Gristle book tour.
And if you accidentally wear your old pair of leather shoes you bought before you changed, rest assured you won’t be crucified.
