Meatless Mouthful–Fran Healy On Egg And Dairy Industry
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 17th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.
“Yeah, I’ve totally stuck with it. In fact, I’ve been on detox for about 2 weeks now, and I’m not taking any dairy as well. And I feel great, actually. I feel like, wow, this is cool. I’ve been reading a little bit, I had a debate the other week with a friend about the dairy industry. I said, I eat eggs, and he said, oh you can’t do that if you’re a vegetarian. And then I looked into it, and I found the dairy industry and the fact that they kill a lot of the male chickens because they’re useless, it’s quite barbaric.”
–Fran Healy on how his promise to Paul McCartney to go vegetarian has also steered him away from eggs and dairy.
No, you never want to know what it feels like for a boy if you’re a chicken. From Compassion Over Killing:
“Since male chicks cannot lay eggs and are different breeds than those chickens raised for meat, they are of no use to the egg industry. Standard killing methods, even among “free-range” producers, include grinding male chicks alive or throwing them into trash bags and leaving them to suffocate.”
We feel better using egg-free replacer that doesn’t mandate automatic offing of one half of a species.
