Vegetarian Star

“Yeah, I like being vegan, I think it’s good for my health. But honestly, one of the main reasons I’m vegan is because I’m ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out.”

“I truly don’t judge other people’s actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination, and that’s what the book Gristle is about. Most of the contributors to Gristle are not vegan – like, one guy’s a pork famer. Even my friends who eat meat are horrified by industrial agriculture.”

—Moby, in an interview with The Quietus on how the book he edited, Gristle, is really about making ethical decisions with all food vs. choosing a vegan diet.

Being vegan may make it harder to find food in some places. But it also makes it much easier to know you’re causing the least amount of harm to the planet. There are less humane labels to look out for. Less definitions of animal welfare to remember like “cage-free” and “pasture-fed.” And almost always, vegan food requires less energy to produce than meat.

Suddenly, the “lazy vegan” isn’t such an insult.
