Vegetarian Star

“When you are eating out, very often the only vegetarian choices are pasta and salad. It’s no wonder some people think vegetarian food is a bit bland. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and I know that there is exciting vegetarian food in every culture. If more people are going to really embrace the idea of regularly choosing vegetarian options, the food on offer has to reflect this variety.”

—-Paul McCartney, who’s gracing the cover of Stir It Up, a UK based catering magazine.

Inside, Paul discusses his Meat-Free  Monday campaign and shares a few recipes.

Paul McCartney is the latest celebrity to add his name the growing list on the petition urging members of European Parliament to make the trading of goods made from seals illegal.

“The fate of millions of seal pups is in the hands of elected members of the European Parliament,” McCartney said in a statement.

“In the next few weeks they will have a historic opportunity to stop the cruel trade in seal products throughout the European Union.”

Voting on the complete ban takes place next week. Such a ban would deter hunters from clubbing seals, wishing to gain profits from their coats and meat.

Call it the “brownest” celebrity edition. In honor of Earth Day, Foxnews wrote an article on celebrities who’ve had less than green moments and two of our favorite veggie celebs, Woody Harrelson and Paul McCartney were on the list. Woody had clothing flown from California to France and Paul had his car flown from Japan. So between the two eco bad boys, who would you rather do…?

Foxnews.com has compiled a list of celebrities who have proven to be less than green on some occasions. A couple of vegheads made the hall of shame.

Like Woody Harrelson, for example. The actor who swears by the solar panel had an attachment to some clothing worst than Linus and his blanket. He had his favorite vegan shoes and belt flown from his California home to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yeah, that’s so eco-friendly. NOT.

Then there’s our man Paul McCartney. If you think it’s fuel inefficient to fly shoes and a belt, think about carrying a car through the friendly skies.

“He even bought a hybrid vehicle to cut down on his personal footprint. But the ex-Beatle made just one minor misstep. He had the car specially flown from Japan, creating more emissions with one flight than the car will ever save in its lifetime. Nice try, Paul.”

But at least these guys have offset their eco-sins with a veg diet. The remaining celebrities on the hall of shame can’t take that credit.

Visit Foxnews.com to read about the eco-sins of Celine Dion, John Travolta, Elizabeth Hurley, David Beckham, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Cruise.

Arrgh! Didn’t I tell them it was “Let It Be,” not “Let It Beef!”

People should know by now not to mess with the McCartneys. Not long ago, Stella threw a fit over an ad showing one of her vegan designs in a very compromised furry position. Now, a less than vegetarian friendly company has angered papa McCartney as well.

Walk into a Liverpool McDonald’s (not that any of you would, of course) and you might find some pictures of a very young Paul, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison on the wall. For some sightseeing without the daytripping, go here to view a sample picture.

McCartney, a vegetarian, is obviously not too thrilled with this and his spokesperson, Geoff Baker, has made a few choice statements about McDonald’s actions:

“What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles fans are?”

Well said.

“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald’s — and not just in Liverpool.”

Point made even better.

Weird Al Yankovic is a vegetarian. No, really. He definitely makes tofu very white and nerdy.

The performer who is known for his parodies was once asked by Paul McCartney when he was going to make fun of him. That’s right. McCartney wondered when one of his songs would be remade by Yankovic.

A little later, Yankovic, a vegetarian, asked Paul for permission to use the song, “Live and Let Die,” for a song called, “Chicken Pot Pie.” Paul said no, because it dealt with eating meat, but Yankovic used it anyway because apparently he didn’t need Paul’s permission after all, he was just trying to be nice.

When we were young, Bernie’s Deli was down the block
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate
(You know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
But if there’s one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye

It’s Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie

[chorus of chicken-cluck imitations]

“Chicken Pot Pie,” by the strange man who turned vegan after a fan gave him the book, “Diet For A New America,” by John Robbins.

Paul McCartney stood up to the face of intimidation and refused to cancel his performance at Israel’s 60th birthday despite several threats from militant Islamic groups. The celebration in Tel Aviv was scheduled for tonight.

After hearing the troubles Paul was having, Ted Nugent offered to help him with the cause, offering to protect him and buy him tofu afterwards.

This may be a prime example of the “Although I don’t agree with what you say, I’ll defend your right,” statement. Nugent, is a Republican, pro gun carrying man, who loves to eat anything that can run or swim away from him. McCartney, of course, is a longtime vegetarian and activist.

Nugent told WENN radio, “”Regardless that Paul and I have our obvious social, cultural, and culinary differences outside of music, I will not bend or waiver to voodoo religious whackjobs and neither should Paul.”

“It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

This is a sharp contrast from what Nugent wrote before in an article that appeared in the Waco Tribune-Herald: “I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger. You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hardcore vegan bass player.”

Ah…It’s so refreshing to see a carnivore maniac like Nugent defend an animal rights maniac who fires people for eating burgers on the bus. Maybe we are coming together despite our differences after all.
