Paul McCartney wants us all to go veggie to save the world?!
Answers: whos with him
I think if the whole world went on strike, and stopped eating meat for a few weeks, and then we only went back to our old ways if people stopped abusing the animals before they killed them, and ate only the smallest amount of meat that they could. I dont personally think that the whole world becoming vegetarian would be a good thing, but if we only ate meat when it was necessary, not abusing the luxury then i would be happy. ((((I am a veg and dont think that will ever change))))
Don't agree with him lol but I'm vegetarian :) Well, have been since the new year!
No way...we'd all end up looking like him!
Does that include him giving all his money to the poor and living in small house that uses minimal resources?? I doubt it, the man is a hypocrite and so can be safely ignored. (Good musician though)
Ok. but I want all veggies to sing like paul mccartney. Who's with me?
Well, except my wife. that'd just be wierd.
like me meat too much soz
how is that going to save the world?
There probably wouldn't be enough land to grow all the veg we would all need to become full time veggies, plus animals are no worse for the environment than veg, in fact its a lot better to eat local meat than buying fruit and veg from throughout the world
I want Paul McCartney to shut up to save my ears.
lets all go have a big juicy cheeseburger!!!!
Me, I already am one. I have just come back from the US and saw a farm near Palm Springs with 'Pick your own Buffalo Burgers' you could choose your animal from the field then go back the next day and eat it! Sick.
I think the likes of him & Jamie Oliver should all f uck off & stop telling people what to eat & how to live their lives!
Paul McCartney can pay my food bill when I go shopping for all the fruits, vegetables that are so sky high in price. Believe me if I could afford this country's healthy food prices (I know it's because of the gas and BUSH) I'd be eating alot more healthy myself. People with money that make statements like that piss me off.
I don't fully agree with him because they are lots of meat that is good for you. Take fish, such as Pilchards, Salmon and Tuna all contain good fats such as Omega 3 which is essential to us. Without this I think people would have more health problems. Excluding sausage and beefburgers of course.
Paul McCartney is a rich tycoon, he can afford to pick and choose, I can't. We live on a tight budget and with the fruit and veggies so highly priced we could not afford to do it. Besides, do you ever see any deals on them like buy one get one free etc. Never, so until they do this I won't go vegetarian.
i am!! yea! .... etc....
Listen to him. I do. The man's a genius.
Foo !
yes it actually will
cows and other "meat" take up room where rainforests should be and use TONS of water-seriously
@David: Jamie oliver is one of the most anti-vegan TV chefs there is. He killed a lamb himself on TV and then when someone called him asking him about vegan food, he said "eat what you like and stop being vegan". What an asshat.
His new move to promote "happy meat" just shows how much of a self-promotional PRICK he is.
@Stephen:
On what do you base this? What do you think farmed animals eat? GRAIN. Most of the world's grain does not feed humans, it feeds cattle and the meat industry uses ALOT more resources and energy than plant agriculture.
The greenhouse gas emissions from the meat industry are worse than all transport combined. You can not claim to be a meat-eating environmentalist. (Read the UN report "Livestock's long shadow")
And don't forget about all the deforestation for cattle grazing and growing grain and soybeans FOR CATTLE.
@The Saint: What do you mean it was because of Linda McCartney? Are you saying that "real men" eat meat and being vegan is "for *******"? If so, you are a close-minded, sexist prick.
@Tango: You don't need meat. It is perfectly possible to get all nutrients from a plant-based diet and it is perfectly possible to live as a vegan for under $50 a week. You don't need to buy all that fancy stuff like fake meat to be a healthy vegan. All you need is grains, nuts, beans, greens.
You don't even have to buy everything. Heck, you don't even have to support the capitalist system. Dumpster dive.
And that "buy 1 get 1 free" thing is nothing more than a commercialized gimmick. Often the reason things are cheap (like in walmart) is because the company is subsidized by the government and are tax-exempt. Now let's just let that sink in for a moment...
@Apple Crumble: Get f*cked.
Good day.
PS. No one is "veggie". You're a vegan or vegetarian, or an omnivore.
I wonder why it always comes from top to bottom? Why those celebrities, scientists, environmentalist, philosophers, thinkers and stupid activists trying to prove that vegetarianism will save the world??? What the hell those politician & religions do??
I don't know if everyone going veg*an will save the world (hey, Paul, didja know that there's a slice of veal in every glass of milk? Your ex is going vegan, why can't you), but I think it would certainly improve things.
Meat production is a huge contributor to global warming--and it isn't vegan organizations saying this, but the U.N. All you save the plants boys should go vegan because it takes between five and sixteen pounds of plant food to produce a pound of meat. So you meat-eaters kill even more plants than we vegans do.
I would rather DIE than go without my bacon buttie.
Sorry sir.
I am! Been a vegetarian for three years :)
yeah well....i want paul mccartney to f**k off....but he won't!!
If we all go veggie won't that increase the emmissions?
Paul and the other bugs were radical, drug sucking nuts in the 60-70s. He still is. How dare he (or anyone else) impose his agenda of vegetarianism on me. I don't try to get him (or anyone else) to eat meat?
With all the animals around, it would be...
Poop amouk, poop amouk!
Isn't it time we started treating plants with more compassion?.
If you truly want to save the world don't eat at all.
If it means eating that veggie shite his ex-missus Linda was responsible for,he can shove it up the part which they make McDonalds from.
Save the world? How about saving my ears by never playing another beatles/wings song again.Over-rated scouse.
@ veganarkismo My friend,methinks you need to revisit school for additional reading lessons.Where have I written 'because of Linda', anything to do with 'real men' or 'being vegan is for *******'? If one loses the ability to decipher without misinterpretation , then I'll stay an omnivore.I've seen that non-meat product I mentioned being made and you wouldn't eat it either.And get some anger management input.
I dont agree with him on the seals. People in Newfoundland need to live too.
I am heading a new group for plant's rights..Who's with me?
Not me. I bet he's on the drugs again.
I don't like Paul McCartney because:
1. He has a huge ego.
2. His music is crap.
3. He is selfish.
4. He beat his wife.
He could be doing a lot of good in the world if he chose to but instead he wants us all to become vegetarians.
What a joke.
He should be put in a cage and fed hamburgers for a year. That would bring him back to earth.
@veganarkismo your full of the brown stuff!
paul mc cartney what a hippocrit
and a druggy
