Quantcast Vegetarian StarStella McCartney Says Family Not Out To Convert Meat Eaters

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

With Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday campaign getting so much press, some flexitarians and meat eaters may wonder if they will relentlessly be harassed into total vegetarianism.

Granted, many vegetarians would like this to take place, but Paul’s daughter, Stella McCartney, is reassuring people that the family’s less meat approach is about trying to reduce some of the impact consuming meat has on the planet.

“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,” Stella said, in the UK Telegraph. “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.”

Of course Stella and the family still adhere to their strict vegetarian values.  But they’re not trying to point fingers at everyone. They just feel everyone should, ahem, “give it up,” at least once a week.

“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.”
