Holdin' Down The Culture
More and more people in the United States are embracing alternative food regimens including vegan and vegetarian lifestyles. NLE Choppa, who many now refer to as “NLE Chakra,” has been vocal about his spiritual and physical adjustments. We reported about the Memphis rapper’s latest video ‘Bryson’ where Choppa encourages people to give up drinking alcohol and drink more water (watch it here).
Back in September 2020 Choppa showed his fans how he engages in gardening.
Yesterday twitter banned me for a day, so I put the energy I was usin to inform y’all into my garden. I’m growing Melons, Watermelons, Cucumbers, squash, peppers, Cabbage, And Tomatoes For My Fall Harvest. Prepare for food shortages. I’ll never shut up for y’all, love y’all 💜 pic.twitter.com/fraXCL2yqJ

After Travis Scott was payed by McDonald’s to endorse the fast-food chain’s food items Choppa addressed it on social media by encouraging people to think twice before consuming such items.

McDonald’s is now stating they will introduce “plant-based” foods into their menu after testing out the plant-based burger in Canada with Beyond Meat—a producer of plant-based meat—known as the ‘P.L.T.’, but it’s currently not clear who will supply the meat alternative in the future. In a blog post, the fast-food company wrote: “Based on what we learned and an encouraging response, we’re excited to give you a sneak preview of the McPlant—a delicious plant-based burger crafted for McDonald’s, by McDonald’s, and with the kind of craveable McDonald’s flavor our customers love. There are other plant-based burgers out there, but the McPlant delivers our iconic taste in a sink-your-teeth-in (and wipe-your-mouth) kind of sandwich.”
The “McPlant” menu items are scheduled to be available in 2021.
In his latest tweet, Choppa takes aim at several fast-food spots.
“McDonalds, Burger King, And Taco Bell Yall foul for trying to make vegan food. Do not eat that sh*t find a great vegan spot near you, not a commercial fast food place, or get groceries and cook it yourself, also grow your own food to cook. Love y’all..”
