Stella McCartney Says Meatless Mondays Won’t Make You A Hemp Wearing Pot Smoker

So you'll just have to try harder to achieve that look.

June 29th 2009

“It’s ok to just give up meat for one day, it doesn’t make you a vegetarian if you hate vegetarians, it doesn’t make you a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker. It’s alright, it’s allowed – it doesn’t make you a kind of the person you don’t want to be. It just means you are doing something positive.”

“If everyone gave it up on a Monday it would be more effective than everyone stopping driving their car on a Monday. We are not perfect. It’s so important to get that across because it’s like oh, those bloody Maccas, talking again about not killing cows! It is boring. But the reality is, I like to think I am trying to do my little bit. I will turn off a light when I leave a room; I will turn off a socket if I don’t want to be using the socket. And those are tiny little things.”

  1. Damn! I was thinking hemp-wearing pot smoker might be just the right lifestyle shift for me. Now I find out it’s not that easy.

  2. As a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker,,,I’m deeply offended. LOLOL! Kidding. I’m not cranky at all. LOL!

  3. I am cranky, but I don’t touch drugs except for caffeine and acetaminophen (for migraines).

  4. She sounds too apologetic, this not the way to convince people to turn away from animal exploitation.

  5. I am cranky. Should I start smoking something to feel better?

  6. most cranky hemp wearing pot smokers i know are not vegetarian at all. why putting down vegetarians in order to promote a meatles monday ? (which is a very positive action but if talking about “killing cows” is a taboo for a meatless monday,this brilliant meatless monday looses some of its core value) indeed it sounds a bit apologetic.
