Eva went vegan in her early teens after listening to the Rudimentary Peni song ‘Pig in a Blanket’. She told DIY Conspiracy:
“My decision to become vegetarian, and then vegan, was separate, but happened to be about the same time since those were impressionable years for me when I was discovering all kinds of bands for the first time. One day I was listening to the Rudimentary Peni song ‘Pig in a Blanket’ for the 100th time or so, and it finally sunk in, and decided right then and there to stop eating meat (I was 14 years old.) I didn’t even know about veganism yet, but I made the switch shortly after I learned more.
My choice to stay vegan is because I feel too much of a connection with animals to bring myself to consume them. I don’t want to consume parts and products of a violent, needless death. My veganism is an act of solidarity with them, since they are so exploited in our anthropocentric world, that it’s just a slap in their face to participate in their killing and consumption in this society.”
