Vegetarian Star

“I think we need more vegan junk food. Who has time when you’re out in the world to get something quick? Why can’t we have a dollar menu? So many people don’t respond to animal rights as a whole because they know they will have to change their lifestyle so drastically. Why not make it easier for them?”

“You can’t preach with veganism. You need to be funny and lively.” A lot of people treat veganism as a my-way-or-the-highway type thing, but it’s good to keep a sense of humor. You can do this while still moving toward a more compassionate world.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with Vegetarian Journal. Earlier, we told you how she calls herself a Junkatarian and has an addiction to the french fries. Her idea of vegan fun is potato chips, beer, and spaghetti. Now she’s aiming for the Cheetos.

“I think that the only reason I don’t look like I’m a 130 years old after a lifetime of touring so much and living in hotel rooms, and drinking too much, is that I’ve been a vegan now for 22 years.

Normally friends of mine, when they wake up and they’re hungover, they go out and have bacon and eggs and smoke cigarettes. When I wake up, I have a smoothie and vegan burritos.”
—-Singer and musician Moby, in a recent interview with Black Book Mag.

“It came down to one question, can you be healthy without killing animals? If the answer is ‘yes’ then the only reason you’re killing is because you like the taste. But you can’t take a life just because you like its taste.”

“The way that burger ends up on your plate is pretty ugly. That burger may look fine on your plate, but if you go back and look where it came from, it’s disgusting, I think, really.”

—-Brandon Barnes, drummer for band Rise Against. The guys in the all vegetarian band like to stick with the much less disgusting vegan cheese steaks when out on the road.

“I don’t believe that you can tell anyone what to eat. I think it’s the worst thing in the world to start to tell people—to start to dictate—choices of food. You just can’t do that. But you can show people that if they make choices in a certain way, healthy choices, it might improve the environment. It’s an educational process.”

—-Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), in an interview with VegNews Magazine. The vegan congressman has just earned his seventh consecutive Congressional win this month and boy, has he been busy during his terms.

He’s worked towards food safety, better agricultural practices, and made sure more funds were available to enforce the Animal Welfare Act, among other things.

Like Moby, he thinks you can talk the talk, but not force the walk. Who would’ve thought a suit wearing politician in D.C. and a singer living in New York City’s Little Italy would have so much in common?

“When I was about 18 years old, I had this realization — I’ve always loved animals, I love my dog, I love my cat — and I had this simple realization that I wouldn’t want to be involved with anything that would cause my dog to suffer, therefore I shouldn’t be involved in anything that causes other animals to suffer. That led me to be a vegan.”

“I do try to be a nonjudgmental vegan, so if someone chooses to eat meat that’s their choice, just for myself and keeping my conscience relatively clear, I choose not to.”

—-Moby, in an interview with Pelly Twins. He does a lot of work with the Humane Society because he thinks they’re, “really effective legislators.”

“If you’re a vegetarian, you could not go to a better place in the world. I’m not a vegetarian, but it is wonderful, and there’s more choice there than anywhere, because it’s a vegetarian nation, although they do eat meats. That food is extraordinary.”
—-Danny Boyle, in an interview with Black Book Mag. Boyle was the director for the movie, Trainspotting, and well as his new cinema project, Slumdog Millionaire, about a young, poor Indian boy who gets a slot on a gameshow.

—-Emily Deschanel, in an interview with Women’s Health.
