Moby Says Vegans And Omnivores Can Now Eat And Get Along

Moby thinks omnivores and vegetarians can live happily ever after.
At least in today’s times.
Vegan musician and activist gave his thoughts to the New York Times about how different it was for mixed eaters to share the same restaurant due to lack of options on both dieting community’s parts.
No vegan was going to settle for chicken wings. But most omnivores didn’t find the kale krunch plate to be the most appetizing either.
“If we go back 25 years, there was a lot more intolerance in the vegan world,” Moby said. “There was a lot more militant us-and-them approach. And that, to a large extent, seems to have fallen by the wayside, both from a vegan perspective and from the non-vegan perspective. Vegans are perfectly happy now, for the most part, to hang out with people who don’t agree with them 100 percent And maybe one or two nights a week, carnivores seem pretty happy to go to a vegetarian restaurant.”
“I have a friend who lives just down the street from me, and he is, like, a true omnivore — he’ll even eat disgusting things like foie gras — but he loves Café Gratitude,” Moby said of the vegan restaurant on the West Coast.
Oatmeal burgers have been replaced with meaty-imitating seasoned seitan and faux chicken tenders now look so real, even a Hooters regular would find it hard to pass them up.
Times have changed. And for the better. And as vegetarian and vegan restaurants continue to evolve, more foie gras lovers will seek faux gras instead.
