Your Favorite Musicians...Are Vegetarian?

Anyone who has been to concerts or music festivals knows that there are many vegetarian or vegan musicians out there. Even better, these musicians are for the most part very open about their vegetarianism, and very active in spreading knowledge about a veggie lifestyle to their fans. Rise Against, a band with all vegetarian members, is highly active when it comes to animal rights; they are known to do PSA's for groups such as PETA and in general for being very outspoken about their vegetarianism. Other animal-friendly musicians include the members of AFI, Anti-Flag, Silverstein, and Good Charlotte, Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Chris Martin (Coldplay), Travis Barker (Blink-182), Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Gabe Saporta (Midtown, Cobra Starship), Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday), Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Paul McCartney, Michael Madden (Maroon 5), Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Tom Morello and Tim Commerford (Rage Against the Machine), and many many more (but this is already a ridiculously long list...there are tons websites out there where you can find out if your favorite musicians or celebrities are vegetarian!). One final note: these artists love their vegan food. For example, Derek Grant and the rest of Alkaline Trio loved the vegan baked goods at Vegan Treats (a vegan bakery run by Danielle Konya in Pennsylvania) so much that they wrote a song about it (hear it here; and while you're listening, read a Q&A with the baker herself). Personally, I think they sum up the amazingness that is vegan baked goods very nicely.
