Veg Out!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Politik > Paul McCartney
Keeping on Linda's memory!
Longtime vegetarian and veg advocate Paul McCartney, wants you to go vegetarian to help fight global warming. Really!
"I would urge everyone to think about taking this simple step to help our precious environment and save it for the children of the future," says the legendary Beatle.
According to a 2006 United Nations report, cattle-rearing generated more greenhouse gases than transportation.
Who knew?!
Macca's surprised that a call for vegetarianism hasn't been actively promoted by friends of the earth. "It's very surprising that most major environmental organizations are leaving the option of going vegetarian off their lists of top ways to curtail global warming," he says.
That's one option. Another is to raise cattle in a more eco-friendly way.
Let's work on that!

Re: AAAAAA – Excuse me, I must differ. I've been a vegetarian for 30 years and have an IQ of 157 and two PH-D's. You on the other hand need to have a hepatocholangiocystodeuodemostomy. Look it up!
Re: Obnoxious Joe – WELL I'LL THROW MINE ON YOUR PLATE RIGHT NEXT TO THE BROCCOLI! CHOW DOWN!
Re: Sister Midnight – Maybe too much meat has turned you into a lousy speller!
Perez, don't be stupid? Ok?
It doesn't matter how you RAISE them, they FART into the atmosphere, and at a rate of 6 billion killed a year to feed fat Americans like you and most your reader, you can't do anything eco-friendly enough unless you just STOP EATING LIVE, COMPASSIONATE, FEELING MAMMALS.
Re: BIG BOB – That's not my idea of meat. That's Perez idea of meat.
Even if you don't believe in global warming, how can you not agree that pollution lowers the air quality, contaminates our water, depletes our topsoil making it difficult to produce food, and generally assaults the quality of life? If there's a cleaner way to get things done, why would you fight it? Just laziness, or because you hate Al Gore? Grow up!
There is so much cruelty & suffering for animals - just to satsfy human greed & mindless basic desire - is not ok - kudos to all sensitive & caring people who don't need to eat animals.
You idiot - there is no "eco-friendly" way to raise cattle. If you were more interested in the environment & kindness to other living beings than your own selfish interest in eating artery clogging dead animals you would acknowledge this.
Re: Obnoxious Joe – I'VE GOT PLENTY FOR BOTH! THEY DON'T CALL ME "BIG" BOB FOR NUTHIN'! YIPEE KI YAY MOTHERFUCKER!
Total Vegan here and proud of it. Lost 10 pounds just by cutting out meat. Lost a few more when dairy was gone. My BP is normal, my cholesterol is fabulous, I feel great and the food is awesome. I DO NOT MISS MEAT. I read recently that the feed lots contribute more to global warming than we are told because the meat and dairy industries keep it quiet. Visit a feed lot just once and see if you can still eat meat. The burger you eat today was standing in its one shit in a mud and feces caked fenced area with no room to move just last week. Literally they are packed in face to ass. They process them quick because in those conditions they get sick really easy and really fast. They dont eat grass instead they eat other cows, growth hormones and chemicals. Sometimes they just feed them heated garbage! Gag! No wonder eveyone in the US looks like a cow. They eat bovine growth hormones and garbage just like those poor cows do. I cannot understand why Americans think it is gross to eat a horse or a dog but will eat a baby cow.
I would like to see some statistics on this because people have been raising cattle, etc. for thousands of years and it's a little hard for me to believe that it has had more of an effect on the enviroment than oil and carbon emissions…
Re: AMY – Yay you Amy!!!, Von Dutch gear is a total joke!!!, Is it just us who've noticed?????
Factory farming can't be eco friendly and how do you stop cows from farting and needing acres of clearcut land and tons of water. Then there's the pollution from their shit. All the cheeseburgers fat Americans eat ( 3 a week!!!!!) is worse than the SUVs and this is a fact ! Obese fatties in the US need to go vegetarian for health and the environment. You too Perez.
OK sourapples"I'm down for fighting global warming but I'm a meateater and that won't change! " This is probably the most hypocritical comment I have ever heard. Get the facts straight. Factory farming the #1 source of greenhouse gas emissions and it is the #1 source of water pollution. If you want to save your environment, not to mention billions of animals that endure horrific conditions until their untimely death just so you can selfishly have your steak, go Veg!!
Re: meme – you are a stupid BITCH its this kind of IGNORANT STUPID American thinking that landed us the country of death now!! DUMBASS
Re: meme –
wow
you're an ignorant moron
if we didn't eat cows we wouldn't have to breed so many of them
the ones remaining would just graze the earth like deer etc.
And uh we bean eating vegans don't fart as much as you mc donalds eating fatasses
