In a new print ad for PETA, Paul McCartney opens up about the first time he realized it was time to pursue a vegetarian lifestyle. From the ad,

“Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, ‘I am killing him – all for the passing pleasure it brings me.’ “Something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath, that his life was as important to him and mine is to me”.

    And that’s a really cute t-shirt. I’m all about t-shirts that get right to the point.

    I love the ad. We need more men speaking out for vegetarianism. I think most of the men I know would consider it un-manly of them to avoid meat.
