Shawn Harris Talks About Being Vegan

[N0mOREmlnors]

Dammit PETA, took another good soul.

[icklerob]

@N0mOREmlnors You say that like he didn't have a choice. If he chose to be Vegan, he chose to be Vegan.

[dillon3194]

idol right there.

[indigobeauty1]

Great video!!! thank you for sharing. Being Vegan is freeing! 1LOVE

[XDrewskyX]

yeah man! theres other sources of protein, ASSHOLE! like.... like... SOY yeah soy! and..... um..... PEANUT BUTTER. so fuck you asshole!

[professortorso]

soy contains estrogen, which in turn builds up fat around teh stomache, therefore resulting in the loss of my sixpack...sooo pwned?

[andyvonhallow]

Um have you heard of excercise?

[PrincessOfTheYew]

What the fuck?! I've been a vegetarian for 5 years now and I love it! But what the hell, man?! I wanna watch cutie, Shawn Harris talk about being vegan, not have my heart stop because a clip of a chicken being drained of its blood, randomly popped up and gave me the willies! What the hell, Peta??

[LilyVampyre]

Um obviously you still need protein or your body will be fucked, who gives a shit if someone eats meat, there is plenty of it.

[mrblob20]

there are other sources of protein dickwad

theres a lot of humans too.... what shall we do with them since theres plenty of them?

[LeezeArray]

I love the concept of Vegans. <3

[DiseasedAfrican]

all veagans are stpid

[Jodiebirdinabocks]

you are

[DiseasedAfrican]

original

[Jodiebirdinabocks]

I could say the same to you.

[BlackVelvetMagazine]

Says someone who can't even spell. LOL.

[freshXrr]

i love this. i really hope his message inspires other people to go veg, or at least try it. it really is easy! and it's more worth it than you could even imagine. i mean, you've got nothing to lose, right?

[JAMARI6699]

You Rock Sean!! If you eat meat, let me ask all you out there, would you be able to kill your own..? And if yes that works.. start hunting for your own meat and stop paying for torture.. Rely at least you will know what your eating.

[DiseasedAfrican]

your stupid animals will eat you in the wild they dont care about cruelty

[TheSaraBelle]

but at least we have a choice.

I mean, I shouldn't talk, because I still eat meat, but I am really trying...

but if you think about it, they are stupid.

but we aren't.

so why be on their level?

[mrblob20]

Soooo you're saying that you should be like an animal?

What makes us different is we have morals --- and you should learn about it .... Please. thanks.

[DiseasedAfrican]

fuck you i have a poop fetish and i like choking little girls with umbilical chords.those are my morals

[Iishieboo]

I eat meat but I'm totally against any cruelty coming to any living thing. I think that most people can agree on that point.

Shawn is such a cutie. I'd give up meat for him in a heartbeat. Haha!

[ChaosAndCupcakes123]

Lol. There were little wormies everywhere.

[QueenOfAmber]

I ♥ Shawn Harris! It's so awesome too that he's a vegan like me... *Sighs*

Does anyone know how tall he is?

Lol, random I know... Thanks if you do tell me. :)

[AznSmith]

He's like 6'4" or something. I'm 6'1" and he was significantly taller than me when I met him.

[QueenOfAmber]

Oh, thanks then! :)

[Musiclover6803]

"there were little wormies everywhere"

haha <3

[MANARGENT]

er,did you and your dad ever actually work in a slaughterhouse???

[AltecKiwi]

Dude, it is the slaughterhouse that restaurants buy the food from. Of course they have to cut the chickens' heads off to eat, but have youy ever seen the ways they do it??!?!?? It's inhuman. If you still think it's 'liberal propaganda', look up a fucking video premoting vegitarianism. I'm not telling you to stop eating meat and become a vegg-head like me, I'm telling you to get informed before you go ranting about things you don't know.

[oishitomoro]

okay sorry... I am a carnivore but I DO NOT eat junk food like KFC.. what makes vegans and vegetarians think that all carnivores are unhealthy fatties eating meat at KFC?

[MorbidMistress13]

You are not a carnivore, you are an omnivore.

Because it's the mindset of thinking no matter how you eat your meat, it's still nasty and unhealthy.

[oishitomoro]

oh well, i am perfectly healthy. I look perfectly healthy, I am slim, I have high energy, and i am happy. I've found vegetables with worms in them, no different.

[MorbidMistress13]

Well yes, you may consider yourself healthy but to them putting meat in your body is unhealthy and disgusting,

Ughhh, why did you get your veggies from? I've never seen a worm in mine.

[ChaosAndCupcakes123]

Yeah man. I eat meat, but I dont eat fast food and all that crap. eww. Lol.

Anywho, the Mathces are fuckin cool.

[efuggetta]

If Matches fans go veg because of Shawn, how is that "desporite" ?? I think it's awesome.

[VeganJessica]

aw i have no idea who this guy is really, but he's cute ;)

[hushthesky]

check out his band, their music is pretty "cute" too=)

[newlondnfire]

I don't eat red meat, and ever since Morgan Spurlock's Super Size documentary, fast food meat is a thing of the past for me. But i could never go vegan though; I luv cheez.

Ha ha, Shawn the vegan. He and Frankie are taking a stand for their little animal buddies. Cool.

[boobtubemorelikeit]

i love how, because Shawns talking about being a Vegan all Matches "fans" are now turning vegan.

lol. desporite much?

[hushthesky]

i agree with you, people should definitely base the choice they make off of their own wants and beliefs...then again, if someone is genuinely inspired by anothers choice...and it helps them to better themselves..then cool...right?

[DaniVsTheRhinovirus]

That's definitelt not true.

The Matches are my favorite band an have been for 3 years,

but I was a vegetarian before that.

and i know a lot of other Matches fans that eat meat.

They probably find out more information from them,

which helps them to realize that eating meat&dairy is wrong and then stop.

[PointCataclsym]

For anyone who has commented AGAINST vegan/vegetarians:Yeah, maybe being a vegetarian won't stop it all, but it helps. Do I see you doing ANYTHING at all to help the animals or the planet? A lot of vegan's aren't about stopping the consuming of meat forever, but better conditions and life styles for the animals. And if you hadn't known, most third world countries are starving because YOU TAKE ALL THEIR FUCKING FOOD FOR YOUR GODDAMN MEAT. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING BECAUSE OF YOU. think about that

[blakob13]

wow i mean good for him that hes vegan and all but peta is a horrible horrible organization that is full of hipocrits and terrorists its scary that they seem so innocent

[KellyRoxxanna]

Shawnnn :D:D:D <33

[IndieRockJunkie]

is it me, or is every band to do wiv epitah [the matches] and epitah distribution [sugarcult] has someone hu feels sommat for animals [sugarcult's marko sez he h8s turkeys bein stuck in the back of a truck wiv no feathers while he sleeps in a hotel bed or his bunk on the tour bus]. But watever, i do feel for animals that get eaten, but i dont eat pork [gess my religion!], but i eat meat becoz it just tastes good, but we all hav our opinions nd views on meat. and i really shud shut up now, so bye

[miamh720]

i'm a vegetarian and i LOVE shawn harris. i'm obsessed with him

[coyel]

I'm pretty sure fruit doesn't look too tasty if you leave it to rot for 12 days either.

[TVTsteven]

most people dont want to give up meat just because they are lazy

[x0lilcraziimamii]

alot of people say "we are carnivores, eating meat is essential to our survival." its so frustrating! yes, it was essential way back when we had the adaptations to eat raw meat but not now...animals that really are supposed to eat meat have 10 times the hydrochloric acid in their stomach to digest it than what our bodies contain. not to mention the things that occur in the meat industry. read the book skinny bitch. it will change you life

[SpaggyB]

so just because a book says we arnt "equipt" to eat meat that means we're not allowed?

i mean, screw everyone else i read a book!

and i for one am religious and God told us he put certain animals here for humans to eat!

AND! it is a proven fact that Veges can feel it when they are yanked out of the ground! so what now? are peole just gonna stop eating all together? NO! its just the circle of life and death seriously, one animals death is anothers life!

i respect vegans and all but URGH!

[idiedromantic19]

i'm a christian and a vegan and i read the bible a lot i've never seen any wear that its says "hear look meat eat it" and i dont know wear you got your facts from but no plants cant feel when they get pulled up they dont have the right organs to do so.

[veloriumcaptain]

I have never heard that you need organs to feel... I always thought it was nerve endings and sensory neurons.

But how's this; how about I find a way to change you into a plant, plant you in the ground, let you live for a while like that and then pull you up and ask you if you felt it. Savvy?

[annie14842]

hahaha WHAT? Vegetables can feel? Did they tell you that or something? You're crazy.

[anna933]

omgg. Im absolutely obsessed wit The Matches and finding out that Shawns vegan freaking makes me even more obsessive! damn i love them. :)

[CindyL0uWho]

I LOVE SHAWN AND HIS VEGANESS :D

[smilesalot555]

I LOVES CHICKEN!!! GO MEAT, GO MEAT!!!

[getitfaster021]

haha. best comment ever

[lindseyiscliche]

i'm vegetarian & i'm working on being vegan. it really is the easiest thing in the world to do.

[WEdanceLIKEzombies]

and yeah, the matches are fucking bad. theyre really cool dudes too. For everyone thats sen them, you know what im talking about.

haha i love when he says little wormies reminds me of the song "little maggots"

[WEdanceLIKEzombies]

but take baby steps you can call the number for go veg & get your food supply to help u transition into becoming a vegetarian Order a peta packet from the website it gives u stickers a dvd a panthlet you save countless lives when you become vegetarian whats there to loose

[WEdanceLIKEzombies]

im a vegetarian but its kinda hard to keep away from cheese so dont rush into being a vegan take it step by step like shawn said, theres no need to rush yourself because in the end its worth it just think about it your eating dead animals i mean you wouldnt eat a dog or a cat would you?

[drewk339]

if it tasted good, i would. we're higher up on chain for a reason.

(now endless bashing ensues)

well the matches still rock. it is interesting to get a different outlook on things though...

[WaitingForGooo]

that's why it took me so long to give meat up but we aren't cavemen anymore, it's not vital to our survival that we eat dead bodies.

[WaitingForGooo]

and he's right it does feel good.

[coyel]

Its worth keeping in mind that all the animals that being vegetarian saves just wouldn't exist if they weren't bread for meat.

[fireextinquisher]

First off, learn to spell.

Second, if everyone was for saving the animals, it isn't like we'd just let them ALL die is it.

And vegetarians still eat dairy, so that'd still go on wouldn't it.

[coyel]

First off, my spelling isn't bad enough to warrant you pulling me up on it - or for it to detract from my point at all!

I'm not saying that we'd just let animals die, I'm saying no new ones (aside from dairy cattle) would be *inhales* "bred".

I'm not a hardcore meat eater or anything, it's still something I have to think about. But it's worth considering whether it's better for an animal to live purely for the purpose of dying, or to not live at all.

[pestilence4424]

Fun Fact

Vegans and Vegetarians are not the same thing

Vegans don't have anything to do with animals,

while vegetarians still eat cheese and drink milk.

I am on no ones side

[pleasehelp22]

I had no idea who he was, but since now on I'm in love with that guy!!!!

[GrimxKitten]

Oh, and on A lighter note, these guys are AMAZING musicians... and really good people too! I've seen them live twice and I'm seeing them again on Jan. 22nd. I met Jon and rubbed his head last time I saw them haha. Hopefully I can meet all of these boys next time.

xxx

[GrimxKitten]

Ugh... I wish I had the will power to be vegan. I know that meat and dairy are completely unhealthy and the completely horrible things that are just gross and inhumane that they do to the animals we get out food from... I think I'm going to try it though. I love animals and it's just healthy for you in the first place.

[thepurplehouse]

Hm. My hero. :]

[xxcarcrashheartt]

i love his face when he says little wormies. hah.

[xXxMercedesPagexXx]

i cant find this video on peta tv!!where did you get it!!i go places with my laptop and take the peta videos!!and they think that bands would never be vegans or vegitarians!!so where did you get it!!

<3

MercedesPage

[mistymidnight]

aww Shawn is amazing.

this is a great vid, thanks for posting. =]

[ClumsyHeart7]

yeah^^

vegans rock!

[KATIEB2008]

i understand what shawn is saying but he needed to say it louder

[drewk339]

shawn seems a little feminine in this video...

oh well, the matches still rock

[MarleeDanger]

I saw meet you meat ONCE and I will never watch it again because I will start bawling/vomiting. But it was the liner notes of Goldfinger's 'Open Your Eyes' that turned me vegitarian (I was 11) in the first place.

[DropXdeadXFred13]

This awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aiar16]

Vegans rock! almost 20 months.

[ARand0mH3ro]

that video is so sad with all those animals... it makes me proud to be a vegetarian but shawn delivers a great message

[Imsocool1004]

great video, great message

the video meet your meat was what made me go vegan. and still everytime i watch it i keep looking away and squrim.

thanks for posting this.
