Ian MacKaye - straight edge & vegetarianism [ extended interview from EDGE the movie ] video free download

VOiD ONE1

The only reason people are not vegans is because of conscious or unconscious selfishness. Over 80 billion animals are killed annually on this planet. It's destroying our health, and the health of our planet. It is one of the number one offenders of greenhouse gases. It is one of the number one offenders when it comes to water misuse. It is taking up an immense amount of land. The USA alone could feed approximately 2 billion people if it did not devote all of its land, water and energy to cereal crops for animals. The simple fact is is that you do not need meat or dairy to live a healthy and productive life, on the contrary you'll become healthier and more fit from plant-based proteins!

There's nothing wrong with fucking eating meat. It's the torture and conditions involved in a lot of these "farms" that's the problem. A cow that gets to graze and live free and one day is slaughtered in a humane way is fine. Like a lion would hesitate to eat a gazelle while it's still breathing... nice slow death while being eaten alive. Or a lion or bear etc. wouldn't hesitate to eat a human. Yes, creatures do that, including humans. Just let them live a nice peaceful life and get it over with quick, is much more humane than the rest of the carnivore world. (and don't even get me started on vegans.... you can't eat a fucking egg? It was never alive and chickens lay them naturally... it's their period basically. Oh, let's just throw them in the garbage instead).

Ian, what's poisoning about eating well cooked Chicken? I ate a chicken one time and i was only in hospital for 5 days. so lets set the record straight.It's so easy to be a Vege, but it takes a real man to be a meat eater.

He makes a good argument. I never tried to cut down on meat. It seems like it would be hard.

I can give you many reasons Ian: Craft beer and amazing strains of weed. We all die anyway, you might as well enjoy it.

Being a vegetarian isn't too difficult. Not eating meat isn't a matter of "not being able to give it up" so much as, do you genuinely want to give it up. I've done it before for a while. It's doable, despite sometimes getting questioned about it.Meat tastes good, we all know it does. And so we've got to simply decide between hedonism or some sense of taking care of animals more. But all these morals are so relative, so subjective, we decide to just keep eating meat. Simple.

Convenience he is so right. It is so much more expensive to be a vegan than a meat eater. Big Mac 99 cents salad 5 dollars. 

Storie Grubb

damn straight.

rickymeiss

I thought Ian was a vegan.

Jay Horn

We can discuss the biological value of protein ... But we don't wanna go there do we ?

bad hair .day

better argument than vitamins: bacon. nuff said. XD No but seriously I respect anyone who lives a veggie sxe life, and I demand the same respect back. Like Ian seems to get it.

Alex Paulsen

Does his cup have a broken handle?

Sam Caballero

I eat meat but I have so much respect for this guy. I love animals and I hate knowing the fact that when I meat I'm eating an animal that was slaughtered... It hurts but I can't give it up..

James Kohler

'Meat is poison.' Whatever. Have to discredit this guy on this level pretty much from now on. Good music though.

vincent gregorits

feed your brain more protein....please!
