Paul McCartney is singing the praises of Meat-Free Monday and getting the whole gang to join in.
Stella, Paul and the rest of the McCartney clan is asking everyone to do their part for the environment and drop the cruel stuff for at least one day a week.
In a video on Channel 4 news, McCartney said:
“Basically, it’s just to encourage people to not eat meat for one day in the week — Monday — when they’ve overdone it over the weekend, possibly. And the idea is that it’s very beneficial for the environment.”
Yoko Ono has also joined the campaign and is hoping that she can encourage her fans to go flesh-free as well.
Check out the video below and tell us your thoughts on Meat-Free Mondays. We think it sounds swell!

Okay, nice sentiment, but I would have loved it had one of them said that if you feel like going full-time vegetarian, even better. One day a week is a starting point, not a goal to which one should aspire.
Veggietart – most people don’t go vegetarian overnight. Easy to start and get people interested in it this way. Scarey militant believers in anything chase people away. Much better to approach it gently.
I too wish people would go vegetarian full time but sadly I can’t convince one single relative to do so BUT I have convinced many of them (and I have a huge family being adopted) to go veg a few days a week… which if I can convince 100 people to go veg 3 days a week that’s actually better (in MY opinion) than convincing 1 to go veg 7 days a week.

I think it is avery smart idea, when you start pointing fingers poeple turn away cos nobody wants to be told what to do the preaching methods do not work

Bunch of wallies. More vegetarian propaganda. Being a vegeterian is not the healthiest and the methane emissions is a load of bull!
We are omnivores – eat meat and plant. Let’s campaign for the humane treatment of animals – pasture fed rather than factory farming. We need to eat clean foods from pasture-fed animals, real butter, vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruit. Most vegetarians eat fake meats and believe it to be healthier than meat.
