Sir Paul McCartney has urged the UK to hold "meat-free Mondays" to reduce carbon emissions.
McCartney told The Grocer that the scheme would alert consumers to the environmental impact of meat production.
He said: "A lot of people go to the gym on a Monday. With meat-free Mondays, it's a bit like going to the gym but with the added advantage of protecting the planet."
McCartney noted that a similar policy had proven successful in Australia.
He added: "One of the most significant conclusions of the recent report on climate change was that we should eat less meat. This is not the Vegetarian Society that said that. It's the UN."

*snicker*
^^ whew...he scared me for a minute there
All of God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
just means we'd need to get our meat the other six days...
As long as he keeps away from Taco Tuesdays.

I think "meat" is highly overrated anyway. I am quite happy without it.

See there's a better way to promote this...like maybe Indian themed food Mondays (obviously make it sound better) or something...
this is basically telling people that they are bad because they eat meat, and I dont think it will gain much acceptance.
As a carnivore, I don't walk around trying to convince people to live the same way I do. I wish vegetarians would do the same.
^^ That's funny because I'm a vegetarian and I've never tried to change my friends' minds about eating meat. On the other hand, they've tried to make me understand how "ridiculous and stupid" being vegetarian is.
No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world
i agree! at my last job, there was this nazi vegan who would try to push her 'beliefs' on us in the office. after weeks of this, i finally told her if she didnt stop, i was going to bring a steak and force her to eat it. thats all it took.Originally Posted by Lily
I've been bad.

It has...???
Fuck, no-one told me about it... I hope I don't get arrested for the bloody big steaks I cooked for dinner last night then.
vaya con dios
^^ me neither... i had a pot roast.. wonder what policy he is talkin about??
Alicia Silverstone: "I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."
Rather than trying to get an entire country to do this ... he should offer his sponsorship to restaurants that offer reduced price vegetarian dishes. Good for their business, good for the environment and hell ... I'd forgo the chicken in my pasta is I was going to get a special discount for doing so.
Also, the tumbleweed post had me in stitches for a good 15 minutes. I don't even know why it's funny .. but it sho is.
My boyfriend is a vegetarian, and he's the same way. One of my other best friends is also a vegetarian, and doesn't care what anyone does, as long as there's beer around.
But I know a lot of vegetarians that are constantly reminding me how I need to change my habits......and it reminds me of this guy I used to date who smoked pot constantly and then would berate me when I lit up a cigarette. Psh.
