Phil Collen Gives Advice For Comforting Vegetarian Children
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 14th, 2012 in Children, Food & Drink, Male Musicians.
Def Leppard’s Phil Collen proves a plant-based diet does you well every time he takes off his shirt at a concert. Not only has the musician been a longtime vegetarian and recent vegan himself, he’s taught his son how to woo the ladies through diet too.
The son is now 22 and when he was younger, Collen gave some advice for putting up with teasing from kids at school who think vegetarian is for nerds.
“Well, my son who is 22 now has never had meat in his life. He’s been in and out of being a vegan throughout his life but I think it’s great he’s just stuck to it. One of the things I told him when he was 7, I said “Look, kids at school are going to give you shit at some point so just tell them that they’re eating assholes and eyeballs.” Cause you know, that’s what they put in burgers and hot dogs and that’s the current fare for most young kids…It works every time.”
And no one wants to trade what their mom packed for assholes and eyeballs in the cafeteria. The vegetarian kid automatically wins more friends at his table!
