The 43-year-old singer
has made changes to his diet and refers to himself as "violently vegan."
"I'm fighting for a healthier me and a healthier planet. I started realizing ... I was eating, like, rotted animal lactate ... That's disgusting." Will.i.am, via 'The Sunday Times'
"We operate on frequencies that are wireless. We put satellites that orbit the planet. Why are we acting like freaking savage predators still? Haven't we evolved?" Will.i.am, via 'The Sunday Times'
