Billie Eilish has been branded a 'hypocrite' after saying in a new interview that 'eating meat is inherently wrong' and that people cannot both love animals and eat them, comments that have reignited debate online over animal rights, class and privilege.
Eilish's views on animal welfare are not new. The 24 year old singer has been publicly vegan for more than a decade and is often held up as one of pop's most visible advocates for animal rights and environmental causes. She has said she was raised vegetarian and stopped eating all animal products at 12, while her team has long linked that activism to her career through solar powered tours, plant based catering and vinyl records made from 100 per cent recycled materials.
