Animal rights Group PETA have decided that the former lead singer with the Smith’s, should have a veggie makeover for tomorrow’s Vegetarian Day.
The group, whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – has teamed up with food artist Prudence Staite to create a unique portrait of Manchester’s most well-known vegetarian, Morrissey, using only veggies!
Never one to shy away from the subject of vegetarian living, the “Meat is Murder” singer said, “Nobody can possibly be so hungry that they need to take a life in order to feel satisfied – they don’t after all … so why take the life of an animal? Both are conscious beings with the same determination to survive. It is habit, and laziness and nothing else”.
In addition to helping save many animals every year from the horrors of the slaughterhouse, vegans and vegetarians are less prone to developing cancer, obesity and diabetes than meat-eaters are. They also have a lower carbon footprint.
These are just some of the reasons why millions of British people (including 20 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds, according to the research group Mintel) have chosen to ditch animal-derived foods.
