[MCENDLISS]

wrong message to the kids u couldnt ride it out cuz yall didnt have the enough stature too..thats like sayin i was married for 8 years but i slipped n fucked a stripper..do whuts right dont call urselves leaders when clearly ur leading our world to global warming n our children to mad cow desiese...

@MCENDLISS i used to be SXE.. then 1day i realized there were factors that made me not want that label on my identity. for 1 there were many idiotic factions within the movement that i wanted to distance myself, and also when i thought about it i realized that it wasnt black and white. ex. theres no study to display that weed is bad for you..so i felt like i was trapped inside of some label i put on myself.. i wasnt even smoking but i wouldnt say im a sxe anymore.. i think theres some parallels.

I appreciate this... as a recovering vegetarian.

[sicknature]

@akamrbungle how are you in recovery?

[Auxiliary84]

being on the raw food diet is one of the hardest diets in the world.... but done right its the best Diet in the world...

Next song "I used to hate slavery". Fuck these guys. And insane Lierre Keith wasnt vegan for five seconds..

[lmnosp1]

you can't be more real than these motherfuckers...props to the grouch, zion I, and the whole bay area!

The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith. ...Lierre was vegan for 20 years and had a similar experience as Zumbi... her Chinese doctor said "you better start eating meat!"

[ZakConcrete]

yeah. I liked what they had to say because I felt that a lot of people were probably going to have some beef with that song and have a lot of questions for Grouch and they both made some really good points that I often try to explain to people. that's probably one of my favorite songs on the new album...alonf with Drop it on the One and Journey to Forever

[sicknature]

@ZakConcrete i haven't quite decided which song is my favorite, but i can say that the song that this video was intended for is my least favorite. the reason why i had to ask them what was up w/this song was because i wanted clarification for one, but also to get them to respond to quite a contradictory approach. i know we as humans are meant to change and "evolve," but what grouch had to say in the peta interview wasn't even addressed in this exchange...

[ZakConcrete]

ha, I was watching you film this, I was waiting to see it so I could better explain this to people.

[sicknature]

@ZakConcrete that's' funny. glad you located the video to better explain the exchange. what did you think of what they had to say?
