Steve-O goes vegan!

"It's not my choice to try to tell people how to live their lives (not anymore, anyway!), but I will say that PETA is guilty of nothing but showing love for all living creatures, and I'm running out of issues to disagree with them on." Steve-O

Dass Die Jungs der Jackass-Crew gewaltig einen an der Murmel haben und für jeden Scheiss zu haben sind, wussten wir ja schon alle lange. Dass sie aber auf der anderen auch verantwortungsvolle und tierliebende Dudes sind, die bei allem Irrsinn ihr Herz am rechten Fleck haben, das beweist jetzt einmal mehr Steve-O. Nachdem er sich in der Vergangenheit bereits für ein Motiv unserer amerikanischen Kollegen nackig gemacht hat, ist Steve-O jetzt konsequenterweise Veganer geworden. Wir finden das klasse und freuen uns, dass Steve mit gutem Beispiel vorangeht und sowohl etwas für die Tiere, als auch für seine Gesundheit tut. Nachahmer gesucht!


Steve O schreibt dazu in seinem Blog:
When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an "issue-by-issue" basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa. At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I've kept to a strictly vegan diet and I've not felt "hard-done-by" at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.
