Nothing like combining a cold glass of soy milk, fresh fruit, high protein nuts and a bag of potato chips.

Moby discussed the task of balancing eating healthy with eating junk food.

“When I’m on tour, I definitely eat a lot of comfort foods. Part of it is because you never know when you’re going to eat well again. So if you have the opportunity to eat well, you’re going to eat as much as possible.”

“At home, it’s that balance between vegan junk food and really healthy food. It’s like every now and then, lunch will consist of vegan tacos and then steamed broccoli and keen-wa (Quinoa) . I mean, they’re both relatively healthy, but…”

Moby’s favorite vegan junk foods are vegan tempura or onion rings.

What’s your favorite vegetarian junk to balance with an otherwise healthy diet of tempeh, brown rice and tomato soup?

Premiere Of "Is Anybody There?" - After Party

Moby arrived in Mexico City as part of his recent tour and said la comida is bueno!

“just arrived in mexico city. and just had tortillas y frijoles negros y guacamole. see, it’s easy to be vegan in mexico. well, as long as they don’t get crazy with the manteca.”

Yes, when in Mexico, pile on the heart healthy and fiber filled black beans on the tortillas with plenty of salsa and good for you fat avocado.

Just say “no, gracias” to the manteca, which is fat, many times lard in Mexican dishes.

If you can’t make it to Mexico City, you can at least make it to your grocer’s freezer, where you’ll find several frozen Amy’s Mexican entrees like Burritos and Wraps, or Black Bean Enchilada and Black Bean Tamale Verde.

“New York is a big, gritty city, but it’s also the easiest place in the world to eat well. Within a 10-minute walk of my studio, there are probably 20 vegetarian restaurants. My favorite is still one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in New York: Angelica Kitchen, on 12th Street. I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life. I like the fact that it’s been around for so long; it doesn’t take credit cards and there’s still always a line out the door.”

—-Moby, in a letter explaining why the vegan restaurant, Angelica Kitchen, is one of many reasons he loves New York.

Angelica’s has been feeding veggie New Yorkers since 1976, and features both everyday and special menus filled with delish vegan dishes like the Open Face Tempeh Sandwich, miso soup, noodle dishes and much more.

Potentially being able to spy on Moby makes another great reason to stop by.

Moby To Jump Start Climate Change Concerts In Europe

Comments Off on Moby To Jump Start Climate Change Concerts In Europe

**RESTRICTIONS APPLY** Moby at The Hangover premiere event at Vue cinema in London

Moby will kick off a set of concerts in Europe next month in efforts to raise climate change awareness in young people.

In a joint deal with MTV, the concerts are part of the European Commission’s “Play to stop – Europe for climate” campaign.

Moby will perform in Stockholm on August 20, with other musicians taking the stages in Budapest and Copenhagen during the following weeks.

Looks like the European Commission and MTV chose the right man for the job. Who better to represent climate change awareness than longtime vegan Moby?

There’s no greater way to reduce your impact on the planet than to choose a plant based diet, which can reduce livestock emissions, and clear land that would normally be used to feed farm animals for people.

The musician has also been active in supporting Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday campaign, aimed at getting people to just reduce their meat consumption by going vegetarian one day a week.

Sure hope he plasters a “Go Veg” sign on his stage set.
