Stella McCartney Discusses Vegetarian Upbringing

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011 in Fashion, Food & Drink.

Stella McCartney spoke to The Daily Beast about growing in the vegetarian McCartney family and how it’s inspired her life today.

“It began with my parents,” Stella said. “It’s more than just saying that we’re vegetarians. It’s a philosophy of how you conduct your life and time on the planet. We were quite a responsible family. One of the things I was taught growing up was, “Do unto others as you would have done to yourself.” So it’s not just about not killing cattle and “Meat-Free Monday.” It’s a way of life. But we’re not claiming to be perfect.”

Stella continues to promote the values she grew up with by refusing to use leather or fur in her fashion collections, sourcing sustainable materials when possible and donating a portion of sales from some of her fashions to the family’s Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Angela Simmons PETA

The old story goes that some serpent approached a rather dumb woman and encouraged her to eat the wrong fruit and this destroyed all of humanity.

But history isn’t always accurate and a few think that snakey creature was actually trying to serve Eve a T-bone.

That would cause destruction of mankind and humanity.

Angela Simmons has posed in several shots for a PETA campaign for the vegetarian lifestyle and she could definitely convince more people to change their diets than a serpent.

Starting a couple years ago, he really made a commitment to and a concerted effort to eat healthier. I am profoundly grateful that my dad makes different choices now. Selfishly, now I hope he lives forever. I am sure every child feels that way.”

Chelsea Clinton, during an interview she gave after visiting an elementary school that is working to combat childhood obesity through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The organization was founded shortly after her father’s surgery as a partnership between the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation.
