Seth Rogen And Billy Eichner Discuss Animal Agriculture In ‘Mufasa’ Interview

During an interview for the Lion King prequel movie Mufasa: The Lion King, actors Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen were asked about animal agriculture's impact on the planet, rainforests, and animals. Vegan chef Giuseppe Federici started the interview by asking what foods they'd eat for the rest of their lives, to which Rogen chose cheeseburgers and Eichner chose New York Pizza. Federici also discussed his favorite vegan dish, walnut and sunflower seed lasagna, which both actors found intriguing.

Federici's final question asked what animals would say about the state of the world, with Rogen jokingly suggesting they would ask "What have you done?" and Eichner adding a reference to the musical aspect of the film. The interview highlighted the devastating impact of animal agriculture on the planet, emphasizing the importance of reducing meat consumption to combat the climate crisis. Numerous studies have shown that a plant-based diet has the lowest climate impact, supporting the need for a shift away from animal agriculture.
