When Moby comes up to The City this week to promote his new animal rights film, he says his first stop will be Rainbow Grocery. “I love it because it is a gigantic workers' collective co-op health food store that could only exist in the Bay Area.'
When Moby comes up to The City this week to promote his new animal rights film, “Punk Rock Vegan Movie,” he says his first stop will be Rainbow Grocery.
Over the past three decades, he’s produced the 1996 album “Animal Rights,” launched the Circle V vegan music and food festival, opened two plant-based restaurants and published a pair of books on the subject, 2010’s “Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety ” and 2021’s “The Little Pine Cookbook.” Playing with his late rescue cat Tucker, a few years later, pushed him to finally take the plunge and go plant-based.
According to the artist, one trillion animals are being killed by and for humans annually while animal agriculture decimates water supplies and rainforests around the world.“Trust me, in my heart, I'm a judgmental, angry, strident, didactic vegan,” says Moby. “But I just try not to share that too often because I realize it can be very off-putting, which makes people less inclined to consider the message.
“The rave scene was so utopian, welcoming and loving and the music was so optimistic,” says Moby. “San Francisco was interesting because the rave scene there was very different than the rest of the U.S. It was much more house-oriented and very techno futuristic ... people obsessed with Terence McKenna and William Gibson. It felt like the world had reinvented itself in this wonderful way. San Francisco seemed like the dreamy epicenter of this optimistic time.
