Editing Meat Loaf (section)

===Vegetarianism===
Meat Loaf was a vegetarian from 1981 to 1992. Discussing the confusion caused by his contrasting stage name and dietary habits, he once told ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', "There've been vegetarians who wouldn't speak to me because of my name. I was sitting with [[Jon Bon Jovi]] at one of those awards things, and I say, 'Oh, man, I love [[k.d. lang]]. I'd really like to meet her.' They went to find out if it was okay, and she goes, 'No. His name is Meat Loaf.' I stopped being a k.d. lang fan after that."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Brunner |first=Rob |title=Why Meat Loaf borrowed money from Scary Spice |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=https://ew.com/article/2003/09/26/why-meat-loaf-borrowed-money-scary-spice/ |date=September 26, 2003 |archive-date=July 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709203220/https://ew.com/article/2003/09/26/why-meat-loaf-borrowed-money-scary-spice/ |url-status=live}}</ref> He declared in 2019 that he would try [[veganism]] for [[Veganuary]] in 2020 and would be partnering with UK restaurant chain [[Frankie & Benny's]] to promote its vegan options.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/meatloaf-vegan-veganuary-frankie-and-benny-s-a4324916.html |title=Meat Loaf goes vegan for Veganuary... but he won't rebrand |first=Harriet |last=Brewis |work=[[Evening Standard]] |date=January 2, 2020 |archive-date=April 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422215226/https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/meatloaf-vegan-veganuary-frankie-and-benny-s-a4324916.html |url-status=live}}</ref>
