Eternal Beatle only cut meat from his meals in the 1970s, but since childhood he was predisposed to the idea
In addition to being one of the biggest music stars of all time, Paul McCartney is a militant in favor of animal cause. For years, the eternal Beatle has spoken in interviews about adopting the vegetarianism and participates in actions and movements related to the subject.
Paul’s lifestyle changed even in the 1970s, when he and his then-wife, Beautiful, witnessed sheep being fed feed made from other animals of the same species. It was the “key turning point” for both to become aware of the cause.
However, the musician was predisposed to adopt the habits even before his adult life. Still young, the artist was exposed, like many around the world, to the stories of the films of disney.

The care extends to the period when he is on the road, touring. In 2017, when the musician came to Brazil for concerts, the columnist for the magazine EraBruno Astuto, had access to his list of demands.
And no “sex, drugs and rock and roll” for old Macca. To begin with, his list brought an irrefutable request: a chef specializing in vegetarian food to be available 24 hours a day. The rigor was such that the artist’s team requested the CVs of three cooks. They themselves would choose the professional, not the local producers.
