Cutie From ‘Death Cab’ Says,
‘Try Vegetarianism’

Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla went vegetarian when he was 13. How psyched were we when he teamed up with PETA to create a cool new ad promoting veggie eating?

Grrr!: Why did you go vegetarian?
Chris: It was just a combination of things. It was about the time—you’re a teenager, you have a little more independence, and you start to be able to make more decisions about what you eat, and I got so sick of going to restaurants and having just terrible, terrible food options …. [Also,] I love animals.

Grrr!: Why is going vegetarian better for animals?
Chris: [F]actory farming is just disgusting—all you have to do is look at a couple photographs, and it’s not that hard to figure out.

Grrr!: Any advice for kids who want to go veg?
Chris: Well, the PETA Web site is a great place to start.
