Band Photo: Arch Enemy (?)
PETA has conducted an interview with Arch Enemy's Angela Gossow about her veganism, and the organization has issued the following statement:
"If you've ever wondered what represents the arch enemy to Angela Gossow, you can find out in the Arch Enemy lead vocalist's exclusive interview with peta2, PETA's youth division, in which the Swedish death-metal singer reveals her foremost foe: factory farming. In the recent interview, Gossow—a lifelong vegetarian—opens up about why she decided to dump eggs and dairy products from her diet and go vegan for good. And from now through January 2, visitors to peta2.com can enter to win an Arch Enemy prize pack containing a copy of Khaos Legions, the group's latest studio album; a Century Media compilation CD; and an Arch Enemy poster and stickers.
"Besides the indisputable health benefits of ditching meat and other unhealthy animal products from their diets, vegans have a smaller carbon footprint than their meat-eating counterparts— and each vegan saves the lives of more than 100 animals every year.
"Gossow joins an ever-growing list of musicians—including The Agonist's Alissa White-Gluz, OTEP, Dillinger Escape Plan, GWAR, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia—who have teamed up with peta2 to challenge archaic, cruel attitudes about animals."
"I've always been educating myself," Gossow tells peta2. "I've been watching all the documentaries about animal transport, what's happening in slaughterhouses. I know everything about the hormones, the antibiotics that you find in meat and milk products. It costs society … billions of dollars for health insurance for all their heart problems, blood pressure problems, diabetes 2."

The problem isn't meat per se. It's the fact that alot of people eat meat at EVERY sitting. Moderation in all things. I usually substitute ground turkey for ground beef and we also do fish once or twice a week. And like I said, maybe throw down a salad during the day instead of a burger. But once every month or so we go out for a steak. Just cause I try to eat well doesn't mean I don't F'ing love a great cut of steak.

Look, I stand up for animal rights as much as I can. I volunteer at an animal hospital and I try to eat as little meat as possible. BUT, we need a bit of meat. I'm with Cynic, that comment she made there WAS bullsh**. Also, recent studies from Russian scientists have proved that plants do share a conscious field and can respond to human thought and action (there was a polygraph test done on the plant and they got huge spikes in the reading just by thinking of harming the plant...the plant reacted to human intent and thought indicating it shares the consciousness field with us). What I'm getting at is, if plants have a consciousness, even if it is a lesser form compared to us or animals, they're still alive. Eating a cute furry animal is no better than eating a plant. In each case you're killing a conscious entity. It's just plants don't have eyes and can't make noises like animals so we consider them "not really alive" like we would animals or humans. I say eat meat, you need to, just try and eat in moderation like Netro said and support good clean local farms if possible.

She's 100% right and I would buy free range meat if it were affordable. I went on a free-range, all organic diet for a while and just couldn't afford the prices. I I don't like veggies enough to become vegetarian or vegan. I guess buying HEB-brand hamburger and making it at home is better than eating meat from McDonald's or Walmart.
