Every day we eat the exact same breakfast. My wife is an excellent cook, which makes my life easy. It's like if you've never worked out before and you go, "I'm gonna work out three hours every day!" Why don't we just start with two? See if you can survive that. But it is a process, and if someone tries to go hardcore instantly they might fail. Your tastes change and what you consider healthy changes. But as time goes on, my wife and I were, like, Eh, we're sick of all the fake sandwiches. When you first change you're, like, Oh, I'll have the fake ham and the fake baloney or the fake hot dogs, because this is what you've been trained your whole life to think of as food. It all sounds pretty mellow, but if you frame it the way Rob Zombie does, it becomes kind of metal: All this, as he sees it, is in service of resisting what America’s corporate overlords would have you believe: That you need dairy, that you need meat, that you need them to live a normal life. He and his wife work with PETA to fight animal abuse, and have rescued six goats that they now care for on their farm in Connecticut. So he thinks, and he also does: A vegetarian since the age of 18, he went full vegan nine years ago, after a random breakfast of eggs just repulsed him too much to bear. “But I can’t live my life not wanting to think about something. “Most people are, like, ‘I don’t wanna think about it,’” Zombie says. None of us are walking around with the impression we’re eating happy chickens who lived a good life or super-fresh, chemical-free berries picked by well-paid laborers. He thinks about food corporations and all the ways they’re screwing over regular consumers like you and me and him. The theatrical heavy metal mainstay-turned-slasher auteur thinks about these hypocrisies a lot. “It’s like Marlboro sponsoring the Lung Society or something,” he says emphatically. The dairy behemoth, which manufactures products linked to increased risk of breast cancer, has run campaigns with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Rob Zombie’s go-to example to communicate his disgust for the food industry is Dannon Yogurt.
