GZA

GZA is one of the founding members of the hip hop group Wu Tang Clan. This leader is not only an entrepreneur, he’s also an activist–he convinced the rest of the guys to go vegetarian. GZA interviewed with Eater on his diet, the band and his favorite veggie restaurants to patronize.

It all started with pork:
Yeah, none of the Clan members eat pork but you only have about four of us that are vegetarians, including DJ Mathematics — RZA, GZA, MastaKilla and oh! I think Meth is vegetarian now too! Cuz I used to always get on him with his steaks. I used to say you “you eatin’ a pig pussy T-Bone?” He’d be like, “C’mon Jus, cmon, GZA, man stop!” And then about a year and a half ago he was like, “You know I’m a vegetarian now, right?” I heard Redman was one too now actually.

Boo To Wu: Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot Contains Suede

No thumbs up on this one, RZA.

Most members of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop group are either vegetarian (RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Masta Killa) or have been outspoken on animal rights issues in the past (GZA). So when the group collaborated with Fila shoes to produce a shoe with their name branded on it, the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot, you’d think it’d be cruelty free as well. No such luck.

Along with it’s “molded rubberized vamp, d-ring lacing system and padded ankle collars,” the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot contains an “oiled suede upper.” Boo to the Wu!

So while we were hoping RZA and his boys would follow the steps of other veggie metrosexual men and associate himself with a vegan shoe, like Frank Iero and his MacBeth’s, he’s let us down this time. This is even grosser than his veggie burger with fried egg on waffles.

Thanks Vegblog
