As ridiculous and absurd young rap star Waka Flocka may seem, I found some very interesting information regarding him and animal rights. As a child, Flocka had many animals: dogs, cats, and even iguanas. Due to his passion for animals, he took a strong stand for animal rights. He admits that after watching graphic videos of animals being tortured that it has changed the way he eats. He also is completely against genetically engineering. He views it as changing the way an animal truly should be. He can relate to this way due to his status as musician. No one should be forced to be who their not.
I was going to post the YouTube video on this blog, however he does say a "bad word" or two. If you want to learn more about Flocka's controversial stance on this issue, search "Waka Flocka for Peta" on YouTube. Here is an article now explaining further Flocka's feelings.

In my opinion, it is largely up to stars and musicians to lead teenagers in radicalism towards a progressive food system. I know 'The Color Fred' or Fred Mascherino advertises his vegetarian cuisine which he adopted to strike the massive meat companies.
