[rec.music.gaffa] Vegetarianism....

JLUECK@NUACVM.BITNET (Jeff Lueck) (04/15/91)

I was reading a transcript from the archives of an interview with Kate
and she was talking about vegetarian recipes.  Is she vegetarian, or just
a good vegetarian cook?  I don't remember who was interviewing her, but
I do remember reading it.  I also remember hearing that she smokes.

Anyone know if these are true facts???

She IS a vegetarian, and has been one for many years -- since before
making her first album.

She does smoke, but pictures of her smoking are very rare.

Yeah, she's a vegetarian.  I'm not sure why someone who didn't cook for a 
living would particularly strive to be a good vegetarian cook if they
weren't vegetarian themself.


>I also remember hearing that she smokes.

Yeah, she smokes.  Quite a bit, too.
Blech.

(who think that the bit about smoking should probably go in the monthly
posting.  Piffle.  There was something else I was going to recommend putting
in, and I can't remember what)

Since it has to do with me as well as her Holiness Kate...

Yes, and tobacco is most definitely made of vegetarian
products. Alchoholic stuff is also made out of vegetarian
base products...

The reason to this rhetoric is that I and Carina often meet people who
think that to be a vegetarian is structly equal to be a pure-living
health phreek, which is NOT the case with us, and I suppose not with
KaTe either. You can be a vegetarian of different reasons; health or
otherwise. We are vegetarians of pure religious reasons (religion in
it's non-organized meaning). That we are feeling much better now than
we did four-five years ago (before becoming vegetarians), we just see
as a nice spin-off product.

So, I never saw Kate's smoking habit as anything remarkable in the
light of her vegetarianism, just a foolish thing to do in the long
run... (says the person who occasionally enjoys a pipe... :-)

Well, anyway. It's fun that Love-Hounds is so alive and kicking!!!
