Meat Loaf told us why his stage name should appeal to vegetarians and vegans when he was in NYC in 2019.

That's good. Meat Loaf was vegetarian from 1981 to 1992. He tried to be a vegan. He once said that vegetarians wouldn't speak to him because of his name. He wanted to meet k.d lang but she refused because of his name. He stopped being a fan after that.
