You know that Pat Thetic of Anti-Flag really digs his vegan cookies.

He likes them so much, when asked what his favorite food was, he answered, “My favorite vegan dish? Vegan chocolate chip cookies! I just had about 10 of them in the bus.”

We’re wondering if this was #1 or #9 of his cookie meal.

One thing’s for sure, after this pic was snapped, that cookie didn’t stick around long!

If you’re in need of a vegan cookie fix, here’s the recipe hookup at vegetarian.about.com, with more than a dozen of different types of cookies to choose from.

Our vote for most interesting sounding vegan cookie: Greek Sesame Brandy Cookies!

Drummer Pat Thetic of the music group Anti-Flag, was recently interviewed by fanbolt.com, where he revealed he has a little addiction to vegan chocolate chip cookies.

“My favorite vegan dish? Vegan chocolate chip cookies! I just had about 10 of them in the bus.”

Incidentally, where do you get your chocolate chip cookie fix?

Vegan companies like Uncle Eddie’s and Alternative Baking Company make it easy for you go crazy on the cookie while keeping it sane with the eggs and dairy.

Pat also revealed he’s a big fan of vegetables with a little oil and salt and being vegan is easy because he’s never had a taste for meat.

“I find meat to be pretty disgusting, so I’ve never liked meat even as a kid, so it’s not difficult for me at all.”

Anti-Flag is currently lending their efforts to PETA’s Meat’s Not Green campaign in Germany.

Anti-Flag’s guitarist Justin Sane is vegetarian, but he’s willing to admit he likes meat.

From an interview with Alter The Press:

“So it’s really environmentally unfriendly to eat meat, most people don’t realise, but it’s something I try and get across: If you want to be an environmentalist, you really should be a vegetarian. That said, i really do miss meat, it sucks not eating meat! But it’s something i’m willing to give up for what i believe in.”

It’s nice to hear an honest response like that from someone so passionate about their vegetarianism. While it’s easy for those of us who vomit at the smell of ribs at your brother-in-law’s cookout every 4th of July to avoid meat, some vegs are really holding back from sinking their teeth into a rib-eye because of their beliefs.

And since simmering dead flesh is thrown at us more than sex in advertisement, it must be harder for them to restrain from temptation than it is for the Twilight Vegetarian Vampires to keep from sucking on their classmates in homeroom.

Enter fake meats.

In the beginning, there were simple veggie burgers. Now, we have veggie hot dogs, bacon, and sausages in every variety from Polish to Italian. What’s even better is that it’s easier to fulfill our “needs” more than ever as mainstream grocery stores are stocking up their vegetarian aisles and private and public establishments serving food have meatless options.

Are you a carnivore at heart who refrains because of your beliefs? What’s your favorite fake meat to keep you going?

Was there a particular person in your life that led you to go vegetarian?

Guitarist and co-singer/songwriter of punk rock band Anti-Flag, Justin Sane, was inspired by mom and dad.

His parents opened the first vegetarian restaurant in his home town and he was exposed to their activism as they participated in rallies while he was growing up.

“I do like the tofu. I’m a big fan of sweet and sour tofu, that’s good stuff.”

—-Pat Thetic of musical group Anti-Flag, who obviously likes his tofu done a certain way just like Tobey Maguire.

Pat Thetic of the band Anti-Flag says the best thing about being vegan is the hot chicks who hang with him because of it. No, really. So what if he quickly said he was kidding after making the comment? It’s only a scheme to keep every other guy from snatching his hot chicks. Russell Simmons used yoga to check out hot chicks. With yoga and veganism, you’ll never spend another night dateless again.
