Stella McCartney Mary McCartney–Who Would You

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 in Fashion, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Stella McCartney is known as the fashion designer in the famous family that launched their Meat Free Monday campaign in the UK aimed at getting people to eat less meat to save the environment. But lately, Mary McCartney has put her artistic talents behind clothing, creating a 100% organic cotton t-shirt that benefits an orphanage in India.

Between the two vegetarian sisters, who would you rather…

Mary McCartney has designed 100% organic cotton t-shirts for the Danish children’s label Mini A Ture. The two shirts will benefit Sunway Children’s Home, an orphanage in India, which Mini A. Ture has supported since 2005.

The shirts are available at the Selfridges store in London, and can also be ordered online.

Choosing organic cotton to design the clothing aligns well with the McCartney family’s ideals to preserve the environment. It’s estimated that cotton crops use about a quarter of all agricultural insecticides applied globally each year and according to the EPA, 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton crops are either known or potential human carcinogens.

Mary McCartney’s favorite vegetarian snack is an old standby–peanut butter and jelly, something she learned to love from watching Sesame Street.

And although PB & J sandwiches make a great item to carry in school lunches, McCartney says she doesn’t force her lifestyle on her children, even though they have chosen to be vegetarian.

“They don’t have to be,” McCartney said. “It would be their choice. I don’t like to force it on people. I don’t like to be told what to do, so I don’t like to tell them what to do.”

PB & J may be older than Big Bird, but there are numerous variations of the sandwich you can try when things get boring.

More celebrities are speaking in favor of the St. Ann’s Well Cafe located in Malvern, Worcestershire, England that faces closure.

The Malvern Hill Conservators have announced they will not be renewing the lease to the owner and plan to turn the spot into a tourist hub.

An online petition has gathered over 1,800 signatures and a Facebook group has over 6,500 members.

Photographer and member of the famous McCartney family, Mary McCartney, wrote, “This sounds like a wonderful cafe with vegetarian theme at its heart which is a extremely important issue for myself for personal and environmental issue.”

Martin Shaw, who also signed the petiton, wrote, “I’ve used the cafe, and as a vegetarian it was a lifeline for me – please reconsider this decision, which if carried out will deprive so many of us who need and enjoy healthy and ethical food.”

The online petition can be found at Go Petition.

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Stella McCartney has designed two exclusive T-shirts advertising her Meat Free Monday campaign.

According to Contact Music, the shirts will be available at London Gap stores and will help raise money for the campaign founded by Stella, sister Mary and dad Sir Paul McCartney to lessen the impact of meat production and eating on the environment.

The T-shirts are made from organic cotton and come in two varieties–one featuring a superhero for a boy and Stella’s signature Intarsia leopard for a girl.

Stella, a vegetarian fashion designer, said that Meat Free Monday is “about us all taking control of the environment we live in for our kids and the generations to come. Whether you eat meat or not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet’s resources.”

Mary McCartney Shares Recipes For Meat Free Mondays

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 in Artists, Food & Drink, Recipes.

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Mary McCartney is sharing her recipes to promote the McCartney family’s Meat Free Monday campaign.

Growing up, Mary says she wasn’t necessarily into eating healthy, and enjoyed the taste of meat.

Like her mother, she advocates eating vegetarian to her children, but doesn’t demand it.

“I liked the taste. But it wasn’t a rebellion. Mum always said, I don’t cook it, but you’re allowed it. And that’s what I say to my kids. The difference is that then we did it because we didn’t want animals to be mass farmed. Now it’s because meat production puts such pressure on the environment.”

Mary says although she’s influenced by her mom’s style of cooking, she tends to bake more and finds it easier to translate her culinary ideas into a recipe.

Mary is putting less pressure on the environment with her recipes for sauteed leeks, puy lentils and feta and aubergine layered bake.

Stella McCartney Attends Food Inc. UK Premier

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 in Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Food, Inc : UK Premiere

Stella McCartney and her sister Mary recently attended the UK premier of Food Inc., a film on the food industry, corporations that play key roles in it and how this affects human and animal health.

Although the film isn’t specifically directed at converting the world to vegetarian, Stella believes the film will force people to reconsider the meat they eat after watching it.

“Once you’ve seen the film, you’ll be educated to know how to make responsible decisions about what you buy,” Stella said.

Director of the Oscar nominated film, Robert Kenner, said, “There’s this myth that our food comes from a small little farm with white picket fence and a red barn. So much of it comes from mega factories and it’s becoming more and more industrialized.”

”They’re using more and more chemicals and creating very strange food that’s not ultimately good for the land it grows on, not good for the water, not good for the animals, and not good for us the consumer.”

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Green Carpet

“If I point my finger at someone, saying, “You should be a vegetarian,” they’re just going to get annoyed…There is definitely a risk [of] alienating people. Maybe one day a week, consider what you are doing. We’re saying, do this for your personal health and in the process you help animals and you help the environment.”
