Vegan Shout-Out from Jason Myers of Icarus Witch March 13, 2007

It makes me all warm and tingly inside when I hear that yet another band has taken advantage of their "stardom" to help quash the pathetic excuse that it's just "too hard" to be vegetarian or vegan—pardon me while I wipe away the tears. Kudos to Jason Myers, bass player of the metal band, Icarus Witch, for doing just that. When interviewed by Living For Metal recently, Jason was asked about the difficulty of finding vegan restaurants in his hometown of Pittsburgh vs. the luxurious L.A. and this is what he had to say...

L.A. is one of the best places to find restaurants of every kind. Being vegan when I lived there was simpler due to the overall health conscious mentality of California. Pittsburgh is a much smaller city obviously & more of a blue collar place in general, so there aren't places that cater to the non flesh consumers. There seems to be an increasing amount of eateries & healthy stores here that are offering cruelty free faire. But I don't go out as much when we're not on the road because I've surrounded myself with all of the creature comforts at home.

Check out the entire interview.
