[cAm]

[Pootytang]

[adrock14]

there are tons of those shirts on ebay

[talita]

I used to work in a Vegetarian/Vegan clothes store. I was ativist, but now I'm a little lazy, I know that t-shirts for a long time. I want to know about supportin animal rights

[Chicka B]

That's such a cute shirt, and Horovitz makes it cuter. :o But yeah, Mike is a vegan I think, and I'm not sure about Yauch. But I know that Horovitz eats meat. (that sounded wrong)

how do you know that Michelle? :confused: (y) :D :p

[Chicka B]

how do you know that Michelle? :confused: (y) :D :p

I donno, I know everything I guess...nah just kidding. I remember in one of the sure shot remixes on anthology that he "never eats pork" and he's all like "fuck the chickens, I don't like milk!" and he mentioned somewhere (not sure where) that he grows his food in his own garden or something. And I'm not sure about Yauch because he says "all this cheese is gonna make me cry", and I know Horovitz does because I saw a picture of him eating a sandwich with some kinda meat on it.

[Chicka B]

"Fuck the chickens I don't like milk!" was back in the punk days, on the Pollywog stew album; song: Michelle's Farm. (y)
I saw a picture of Horovitz eating fried chicken and it sayed Busted on the bottom of it. :D

Haha! I wish I could see that picture. And I didn't know I had a farm! :rolleyes: Just playin.

Lol, yeah it looks like it has blood on it! :eek: Just playin, I know it's ketchup...maybe.

[adrock14]

maybe a hamburger? :confused:

[adrock14]

Lol, yeah it looks like it has blood on it! :eek: Just playin, I know it's ketchup...maybe.

i hope it is ketchup!!! :confused: :eek:

[Chicka B]

He's probably saying in his head, "please leave me the fuck alone and don't take a picture of me while I'm eating, or else crazy obsessed fans on the internet will be discussing whether it's blood or ketchup I'm eating...and it's blood! YOUR BLOOD! Muahahaha!!!"...ok that was just stupid. :D

[Azzomerelda]

Mike is definitely a vegan

[adrock14]

Lol, the expression on his face. :p

funny aint it? :confused: (y) too cute :o

[talita]

i heard about Mike D been vegan... And I saw in the AOL interview, he said he preffers tofu than hot dog or hamburger...

[adrock14]

Yeah, I remember that interview, it was so funny.
I liked when they were talking about what they wear on the beach Trunks or a speedo and Adrock is like "Speedo, Speedo!,sorry if I didn't jump out on that one right away." :rolleyes:

good interview (y) :D :p

[Fellner]

Lol, yeah it looks like it has blood on it! :eek: Just playin, I know it's ketchup...maybe.

looks like meatball

[ggirlballa]

snow cones are whack!! :p

[xvanx]

i'm vegetarian. everyone should try it at least try it.

meat (n)

[alexandra]

i think we can all clearly see that Mike is a vegan.

[Rob Dogg]

i'm vegetarian. everyone should try it at least try it.

meat (n)

wtf? Meat plays a key part in a good diet, even vegetarians can accept that.

[nodoubtTIF]

^ not me. I'm vegan. A LOT of vegans and vegetarians would disagree.


I'm also curious why Adam was wearing that shirt. Was there nothing else available or something? Also, is Mike D vegan for AR or health?

[talita]

Yeah, that's a good question...Why is Adrock wearing it if he does eat meat?
Meat is murder, that's my point of view. But I respect who eats meat, vegetarianism or veganism are options.

[alexandra]

Meat is murder, that's my point of view.
you should think a bit further than that.

[talita]

you should think a bit further than that.

I think an animal's life is as worth as an human life, and they deserve their right to live.

[nodoubtTIF]

I think an animal's life is as worth as an human life, and they deserve their right to live.

This reminds me.....


"To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body."
-Mahatma Gandhi

:D

[Pootytang]

I believe you can participate in the animal rights movement and still eat a piece of cow flesh cooked medium rare with a baked potatoe on the side. Fighting 2 dogs, roosters, kangaroos, ect. to their death is one thing.

Damn this conversation is making me hungry for steak. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

[Pootytang]

If I'm not mistaken, Mike D does the macrobiotic thing.

[kleptomaniac]

Damn this conversation is making me hungry for steak. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

with some A1 steak sauce? (y)

pooty = pootylicious
(sorry, i just thought of that....)

[kleptomaniac]

If I'm not mistaken, Mike D does the macrobiotic thing.

Yeah, he's so skinny. :p
:D

someone give the man some meat!

[kleptomaniac]

someone give the man some meat!

or some whole grains ;)

[Pootytang]

There are Macrobiotic Chefs that specialize in cooking beans and grains in a thousand different.

[Chicka B]

:D

:eek:

[timmie]

my misses is a vege!! i think I'll buy one for her! does the money go to a good cause?

[talita]

i dont know if the money goes to a good cause in the case of the Horovitz shirt, but at VEGAN PRIDE (http://www.veganpride.com) you can help a lot of innocents lifes.
ps: the site is in portuguese, the owner is a friend of mine.

[timmie]

I'm a meat eater....but I'm slowly turning! I love animals & I hate crulty to animals but yet I still eat them! my misses (Penny) made me a quorn burger with tofu! & it was fantastic!! I'm sure soon I'll head that way soon!

[talita]

yeah, to be vegetarian is such a great choice.
This year is my 5th aniversary of vegetarianism.
You can eat grains, beans, soy... There are a lot of healthfull options and plus you dont "kill" any inocent life.

[xvanx]

wtf? Meat plays a key part in a good diet, even vegetarians can accept that.

you should read about that. internet is great

and also, you dont have to be vegetarian/vegan to support animal liberation. it doesnt really make sense, but i mean, its not cause you refuse to wear fur that you have to be vegan you know?

[talita]

y its not cause you refuse to wear fur that you have to be vegan you know?

i agree.. vegetarianism or veganism are options, just a plus for the animal rights fightin.

[Pootytang]

If you want to stop hurting animals, don't stop at just eating them.

Don't live in a house. When the timber is cut, many animals die because their homes are taken away. For this matter, don't buy anything made of wood.

Don't drive your car because you are breaking down the ozone in which all of gods creature rely on to survive. Don't even fart because that hurts the ozone as well. You might even run over an animal here or there.

Don't put magic tape on your cats paws. This will irritate him/her and it will hate you for the rest of its natural born life.

Those feather pillows you buy, guess where the feathers come from. There are some naked birds that have been torchered just for your comfort. I bet you they even have caught colds just because you wanted a good nights sleep.

[talita]

to be vegan is not to be fussy

[jennyb]

A few years back I purchased a book called "American Photography 15" published by D.A.P.

:o Simply because the Beastie Boys and that photo of Adam is in it. :o

I was browsing at this book store.. picked up the book to look at it cause it was quite beautiful... and I was pleasantly surprised by to find the Beastie Boys in it.

[Rob Dogg]

I don't know how exactly Animal Rights groups operate in the US, but in the UK they are very messed up people. There have been a lot of cases in the news about how there 'methods' involve attacking, threatening families, vandalizing homes, and literally digging up the bones of dead family members of those that have anything to do with cruelty to animals. This includes completely innoncent people, whose line of work may include testing on animals which may lead to curing and preventing illnesses among humans. So while I support actual charities for animals in the UK such as the RSPCA, I am completely put off the whole idea of animals rights groups and activists for those reasons. If you're in the UK and you want to know a bit more about this, watch Animals on channel 4 tonight and you'll see how mindless and disgusting parts of so called 'animal rights' can be.

[Rawr]

uhhh
just because he wears that shirt doesnt mean hes vegetarine.
he just probably thinks animals should be treated as equal as humans. no animal abuse, no human abuse. liberate.

In Adrocks case im sure thats true, I just thought people might want to think before they give the big thumbs up to animal rights.

I have a friend heavily involved in animal rights in the UK and he never did such stupid things. at least things changed in the UK and a bunch of farms/factory closed down because of the activists. they know how to do their jobs

[sXe Boogaloo]

wooh! i think we are starting to derail from the what's really going on here.
so i hope this little piece clears up some mike d chatter.

cheese talk (http://www.venuszine.com/stories/music_interviews/854)

"Another thing I noticed in this album is Adam’s relationship with cheese. What’s with the cheese? [In “Triple Trouble”: “Ad Rock a.k.a Sharp Cheddar”; In “Shazam!”: “All this cheese is going to make me cry / Gorgonzola, Provolone / Don’t get me started on this microphone.”]

MIKE D: Well, the band itself has a bit of a love affair with cheese, even though I spent a few years being a vegan, which took me out of the cheese realm. But now that I’m back to being just a vegetarian, I am open to the cheese. "

PS
and don't forget all you non-meat eating people out there...
animal rennet = (n)

[talita]

i think sometimes meat-eaters have some biased view on non-meat eaters

[FearandLoathing]

uhhh
just because he wears that shirt doesnt mean hes vegetarine.
he just probably thinks animals should be treated as equal as humans. no animal abuse, no human abuse. liberate.

Ummm. Do you eat humans?

I don't have an opinion about Adrock's shirt (I don't give a damn) but I don't know whether it could possibly be interpreted as a call to treat animals as equal to humans if the wearer eats animals. Maybe to treat animals so-called humanely.

[ms.peachy]

i think sometimes meat-eaters have some biased view on non-meat eaters
It works both ways. An awful lot of non-meat eaters are pretty far up their own arses about the 'superiority' of their lifestyle.

[talita]

I think in this case (of the thread) meat-eaters are criticizin us (non-meat-eaters) as stupid, fussy and even house's invasive...
