Paul McCartney Gone Wild: Eating Sugar, Playing China
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 17th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.
Paul McCartney is playing the role of bad boy these days. He relaxed a lot of his strict habits, which include avoiding sugar. Gasp!
According to The Telegraph when asked what he’s putting in his tea these days, he replied, “Milk and sugar. Sugar these days, yes. I know not many people dare to take sugar these days, but I’m just reckless.”
Reckless, indeed. Perhaps even more astonishing is his decision to play in China, a country he vowed not to step foot in after watching a documentary on their use of cats and dogs for fur.
“I wouldn’t even dream of going over there to play, in the same way I wouldn’t go to a country that supported apartheid. This is just disgusting… I couldn’t go there. If they want to consider themselves a civilised nation, they’re going to have to stop this.”
Now, he has been reported to tell a radio station, “I’ve never played in China, I’m kind of interested to see what that’s like. There’s lots of places I’ve never played, but I think China would be the answer.”
Is this Paul wanting one last wild ride as he reaches, ahem, maturity? Or perhaps it has to do with the company he’s keeping.
It was watching the dog and cat fur documentary with this then wife, Heather Mills, that prompted him to swear off China. And she reportedly also liked to enforce strict rules about eating.
Rebellion hits everyone sooner or later.
