Vegetarian Star

Director, writer and producer Paul Saltzman will be leading a tour of India in February 2010 where the Beatles visited in 1968.

Saltzman was with Paul McCartney and the others during that trip and recalled how the environment fueled the creative juices of the band.

Q: The India trip was a very creative time for them, especially Paul and John. From your experience there, can you say why?
Paul Saltzman: For sure: creativity comes from deep within each and every one of us, and it’s unlimited, without end. At the ashram, an oasis of calm in their very hectic lives, with the sound of the Ganges River burbling below, flights of green parakeets in the trees, simple vegetarian food and daily meditation, the inner creativity just flowed to the surface.

Of course, creativity works much better when you’ve consumed wholesome, energy producing foods versus refined carbs or greasy meats that will leave you sluggish, drowsy, and motivated to do nothing but take a nap.

The late ex Beatle and vegetarian George Harrison has finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Although The Beatles share a star, only Harrison and John Lennon of the group have their own.

After the ceremony, several friends and family including Harrison’s widow and son, Olivia and Dhani, Ed Begley Jr., Paul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell, enjoyed a vegan meal in Capital Records’ Studio A.

Harrison was once quoted as saying, “The thing that repelled me about eating meat was the idea of killing animals. But the main issue is that it’s not healthy and not natural.”

Taco Tuesday, No-Cover Thursday, and… Meat-Free Monday?

Paul McCartney has suggested everyone stop eating meat one day a week to reduce carbon emission from the cattle industry.

He has been reported to tell his carnivore eating friends, “You realise you are eating dead flesh.”
According to The Telegraph Paul said cutting out meat one day a week is popular in Australia, where shoppers have become conscious of the environmental impact of cattle rearing and meat production.

In an interview with The Grocer, Paul said, “A lot of people go to the gym on a Monday.” Seems not eating meat would add an even more healthful spin to the day. “With meat-free Mondays, it’s a bit like going to the gym but with the added advantage of protecting the planet,” he added.

Paul turned vegetarian after a fishing trip, “Many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, ‘I am killing him — all for the passing pleasure it brings me’. And something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me”.
