Vegetarian Star

Last week, Paul McCartney rented a gourmet mobile kitchen for $7,000 to make those 480 vegetarian meals a day his staff is fed to keep the tour going.

This seven grand gig is just a temp though–Paul’s own mobile kitchen is currently still under construction.

A representative from the company that rented the kitchen to Paul said it was everything you would expect from a five star resort kitchen.

Paul has completely banned meat from his tour.

Five star kitchen for five star meals?

As fellow vegetarian Bob Barker might say, sounds like the price is just right!

Paul McCartney is about to start his U.S. tour in a matter of weeks and is putting the finishing touches on the logistics of the matter.

One detail that’s important to get straight is how to feed himself and the crew.

According to The Mirror, the tour serves approximately 480 vegetarian meals a day to satisfy the full time crew of 150 people.

That’s a lot of veggie sandwiches!

“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.

Vegetarians may be excited about Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Monday initiative, but not everyone is welcoming the singer’s push to save the planet through less meat.

During a debate at the recent European Union Parliament, McCartney went head to head with MEP Mairead McGuinness.

And although McGuinness never threatened to shock her children like Gordon Ramsay did, she made it clear she doesn’t think a veggie burger a day keeps the emissions away.

“Getting rid of livestock from the planet as a solution to climate change is too far-fetched and unrealistic a proposition to be credible,” McGuinness said.

“Research shows that a change in European diets with considerably less dairy and meat products would have only a marginal impact on the environment,” she added.

Okay. But the meat industry does produce more emissions than all forms of transportation combined.

“Lastly, those of us who enjoy a roast on Sunday and who hope to continue to do so, would never even consider a meat free Monday.”

Ah, might as well skip the roast the next day.

Leftovers are never as good as hot from the oven anyway.

Paul McCartney has narrated a video for PETA which documents the conditions factory farmed animals endure.

And unlike most PETA ads, he does all this while keeping his clothes on.

“I’ve often said that if slaughterhouses had glass walls, we’d all be vegetarians. Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering,” McCartney says.

“I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates for good.”

Paul covers animals crammed in cages on farms, pathogens found in meat products, the risk of diseases like Mad Cow and the impact meat production has on the environment.

London was recently named the best city in the world to eat vegetarian by PETA, and musician and singer Paul McCartney couldn’t agree more.

”After 40 years of touring as a vegetarian, I’m proud to say that when it comes to eating, there’s no place like home.,” McCartney said, according to The Telegraph.

McCartney has also recently narrated a documentary on slaughterhouses and the effects of the meat industry on the environment for the animal rights group.

Restaurants and other food establishments in the city offer a plethora of meat-free options, even going so far as to put a “V” beside menu items, noting if the dish is vegan or not.

London mayor Boris Johnson said the city has a “history of vegetarianism” and mentioned that it was great to be the “best city on earth to enjoy meat-free nosh.”

”We are helping to cultivate a taste for all things veggie by supporting green-fingered efforts by all Londoners to grow their own fresh fruit and veg,” Johnson said.

Meat-free on every corner?

“This isn’t just me, a vegetarian, banging on: it was a United Nations report … that got me interested. There’s a need to do something: the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport put together. People are confused about what they can do — they can try one meat-free day a week. It’s kind of interesting once you get into it.”

—-Paul McCartney, addressing a crowd at the European Parliament last week in Brussels, Belgium, promoting his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Getting into going meat-free may be an occasional treat to start.

But who knows?

After awhile, you may find it so hot, you’ll wanna do the veg thing every day.

Great news for you vegan musicians who happen to have Beatles nostalgia.

Planet Waves, a division of the D’Addario Co., is marketing the first set of authorized Beatles guitar straps and picks.

The straps and picks feature designs inspired by Beatles albums, such as Revolver, Meet the Beatles, and Yellow Submarine.

They took a little extra effort to manufacture because ex Beatle Paul McCartney insisted they not contain leather.

“(With) the straps, we also had the limitation from Paul McCartney being vegan that we weren’t allowed to use any hides,” said company president and CEO Jim D’Addario.

Well, actually, Paul’s just vegetarian, but who cares about technicalities!

“We had to create these out of synthetic materials and then put a sealer on them so they don’t affect the finish on guitars.”

Because of the synthetic material, extra care must be taken.

“You have a compatibility issue between some of these plastic materials and some of the finishes on vintage instruments and the instruments that are still made with natural lacquer finishes. And you’ve got to be careful when you put your guitar away you don’t store the strap behind the guitar with a lot of pressure on it. It could change the finish. We put a sealer on them that insulates the strap from the guitar finish. … So we have a little warning sticker on the back that tells people be careful with it. Lots of these straps are sold on the market successfully. It’s a question of making sure you know how to take care of it.”

So not too much drinking on stage during your performance or you won’t be able to care for your Beatles straps and picks properly when you put them away, okay?

The straps and picks can be ordered online.
