"Why I'm a Vegan" - Moby, Wanderlust's Speakeasy

I love my precious animal-friends like babies!

Moby discusses veganism at Wanderlust Festival's lecture series Speakeasy. His talk is entitled "May All Beings Be Free of Suffering: Why I Am A Vegan."

Moby -- who now owns the Silver Lake (L.A.) vegan restaurant Little Pine Bistro -- headlined the 2010 Lake Tahoe festival, playing a DJ set to the Squaw Valley crowd.

He has toured extensively, playing well over 3,000 concerts in his career, and his music has appeared in hundreds of films, including Heat, Any Given Sunday, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The Beach.

Moby supports many non-profit entities, such as the Humane Society and the Institute for Music & Neurologic function. He also edited a book entitled Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety (Thinking Twice About the Meat We Eat).

Other speakers in this series include Shiva Rea, Adrien Grenier and Peter Glatzer, John Friend, Mariel Hemingway.
