This week is "World Vegetarian Week" and after doing a little research I realized just how many musicians are vegetarians/vegans. I seem to come across more and more people these days that have made the choice to stop eating meat. Here are just a few musicians on the list:
- Prince
- Elvis Costello
- Bob Dylan
- All of the B-52's
- Meatloaf (ironic ain't it?)
- Peter Gabriel
- Morrissey
- All of the Beatles
- Chrissie Hynde
- Peter Buck (REM)
- Robert Smith (the Cure)
- Sarah McLachlan
- Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)
And Vegans?
- Fiona Apple
- Weird Al
- KD Lang
- Moby
- John and Yoko
- Amy Ray (the Indigo Girls)
- Steven Tyler
This is just a partial list of musicians I found. It would be really interesting to see a pie chart of vegetarians broken up by profession. If you've been considering plunging into the vegetarian lifestyle, this is the perfect week to do so. If you need some motivation to trade in that pork chop for some tofu, check this out. And here is an excellent resource for all things vegetarian. Just some food for thought (no pun intended). Here's one last thought that's been on my mind... if vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat???
