Thom Yorke - Vegetarianism

[GayRum]

Yeah, not easy being vege in many part of the world. Sticking with it across your life is even harder. It does take committed principles and personal beliefs. That's more than can be said for plenty of people's life choices.

[karaconfused]

There are millions of vegetarians on this planet so who really cares why this particular indie midget decided to become one?!

[whiteboydoom]

Thom Yorke is a very smart retard

[newworldorderly]

What if my friends are pressuring me to listen to radiohead?

[sophilianate]

Yeah where is this whole interview?

[ceridawn]

depending on where your ancesters grazed is how an individuals digestive system has evolved, somepeople can live on just vegitation others need the meat protein to sustain themselves. You can eat meat responsibly, free range, outdoor reared, organic, even roadkill.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

So what he means to say is... if you want to sing out, sing out!

[Boxrag]

...How is this about vegetarianism? This has nothing to do with being a vegetarian and everything to do with not just doing "what's cool" and doing what you know/think is right.

[GayRum]

@Boxrag

Being vegetarian is not cool. Duh.

[Boxrag]

@GayRum i feel like youtube is conspiring against me. you hate me, don't you.

[GayRum]

@Boxrag

The trolls are conspiring to eat you alive. Everyone else is just here to point and laugh.

[Boxrag]

@GayRum don't be so cynical. do you want a hug?

[xXKyoushiroXx]

Thom being Vegan is even BETTER :OO He's so fucking awesome

[Yhoah]

quoting him: "the coolest thing you can possibly do throughout your life is to make your own decisions."

Since we only live once(that we know of) we should focus on enjoying our lives, not stressing to follow every single thing and trend that society impose upon us.

Whether is food, clothing, or behavior we will be living a more peaceful and happy life if we follow what we really like, no what ppl tells us to do.

[vsl61]

does anyone have the whole thing??

[OlympiaOverdrive]

Thom Yorke's a VEGETARIAN!

oh god.

[CursedMaiden]

Not only a vegetarian, he's a VEGAN! :o

[OlympiaOverdrive]

oh my god. this is just not happening :O

[CursedMaiden]

Hey, it's not that bad ;P

[paliss06]

I love his voice when he talks like that...

[paliss06]

Vale Thom. Esa es la actitud, felicito a todos los que hemos optado por este camino.

A los que no, quiero decirles que cada día se aprende algo nuevo, y que, por favor, no se vayan contra nosotros.

[DarsoMAN]

Meat tastes damn good. Meat eating has been going around for millions of years apparently. Why are people questioning the nature of eating now? I don't give a hoot! Give me a steak with peas and french fries.

[holdingthehue]

there's no aspect of nature in industrial meat, friend.

[DarsoMAN]

That is very true and you got a very good point there. But to be fair, if we are to be all natural and hunt for meat and stuff, we might as well knit our own clothes, milk our own cows, etc, etc.

I truly would like that though because that means I don't have to work to live, I just have to take care of my family using what the Earth provides me with. No economy, no society. Just people doing their thing.

[lcm603]

people say that eating meat is our right. its been going on for centuries...it innate behavoir...etc. i agree. there's really nothing i can say about that.

however its NOT our right to treat the animals we eat the way we do. why don't you research how we treat pigs, and chickens, and cows. artificial insemination sounds fun doesnt it? being confined to a tiny cage where you cannot move sounds fun too, right?

and then theres the argument that animals aren't self aware...they don't care.

[lcm603]

and to that i say, are you ignorant?

we treat animals worse than ever before. that's why the number of vegans/vegetarians is growing.

[DarsoMAN]

Those are great points right there and I have been revising my diet in search of a healthy balanced diet instead of a merely meat-dressing food routine. I've asked a flatmate and she is a vegetarian for the reason that mentioned: animal cruelty.

It seems like a activist's statement against animal cruelty though it's a rather quiet one if you compare it with environmentalism.

[lcm603]

sorry i that was a bit of a rant. sorry. i'm a recent vegatarian because i really didn't understand the problem with eating meat until pretty recently. i completley understand people who eat meat i was just mad at that moment. it seems pretty hard to do at first....that's why it took me a while. but the last straw was that i felt so guilty eating it that it tasted horrible...all meat.

[unimaginative13]

The whole "it's been going on for years" argument always strikes me as a little weak. Just because something's been going on for millions of years doesn't justify it in the context of today. We re-assess old values all the time. Things change, why shouldn't diet if that's what people want? We're not living millions of years ago anymore. Just a thought. And I suspect people are questioning now because they can: much easier to be a vegetarian nowadays, and much more socially acceptable.

[adfro7]

saw this at school in religious studies, i dont think the film was exclusively about vegetarianism, although i cant remember.

i got ripped so bad though, being a bit of a radiohead freak at the time.

[powersoulboy]

This must be a joke. When do Yorke turn into a excentric freak?

This guy is the next Bono/Michael Jackson.

[IIIkidAIII]

its a fucking joke you morons the dbag simply put in videos of teenagers and fast food. holy hell may buddha help you all

[TerrificCranium]

Wow thom, shine on you crazy diamond.

[SamTalmadge]

@TerrificCranium This encompassed my two favorite bands. Thank you.

[sophilianate]

[freethinkinghumanist]
