Some of My Best Friends Are Meat Eaters, from 2010’s „Start from Scratch!“
No animals were harmed (or eaten!) in the making of this video. But we do thank them for cooperating
Thank you:
Just Like Your Mom Catering, for providing veggie burgers – http://www.justlikeyourmom.com/catering/
Visitors of Groezrock 2012 for eating said burgers

Filmed by Glen at Groezrock 2012 and by Ruud and Elco at De Klinker / De Grote Broek, edited by Glen and Antillectual.
This song is an ode to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. It’s not about vegetarians being „better“ than meat eaters or vegans being better than vegetarians. This is not meant to be another brick on the endless wall that some people build up in the annoying discussion between the pros and cons of using animal products. Making the choice to become vegetarian/vegan should be a personal choice, made by someone himself, coming from one’s own insights. But if someone makes that choice we think that is praiseworthy. A conscious choice to increase the quality of animals’ lives is a good choice. So are vegetarians/vegans better people than meat-eaters? Nope, but we do think they made a better choice in their lives.
LYRICS:
„It’s dead already“
„As if you make a difference“
„You don’t know what you’re missing“
„It’s in our nature“
Inconsistency galore
Bullfights nay, slaughtering OK?
Double standards the norm
Fur pelts nay, leather jackets OK?
Let’s get this done
Take the next step, emancipate
Beware of sliding scales and slippery slopes
Pamela Anderson, Weird Al Yankovic, Hitler and Meatloaf can’t be wrong
Join the club, enter our sky box
Moral crusaders
Shout down to the plebs
A call to morality, the always effective
„It’s in your own best interest“
Somewhere halfway it’s me
Climbing the slope
Together with the rest of us
So far to go
Join the club
