Eternal Beatle reveals that he only cut the meat from his meals in the 1970s, but since childhood was predisposed to the idea
One of the giants in the history of music at all times, Paul McCartney militates in favor of the animal cause. For decades the Beatle Discuss the vegetarianism In interviews and is present in events, actions and movements related to the theme.
McCartney’s diet changed in the 1970s, when he was in their 30s. He and his then wife, the deceased Beautifulthey saw rams being fed with feed made of other animals of the same species.
This served as the “key turn” so that both were sensitized with the cause. However, the musician was predisposed to adopt habits even before his adult life.
Still young, the artist was exposed, as well as many in the world, to the stories of the films of the Disney. And that changed his thinking even in the food part.
In an interview of 2005 to BBC NewsMacca revealed that he liked to watch Pinocchic, Dumbo and Bambi. The last feature quoted presents, in particular, a strong story: the protagonist’s mother dies at the hands of hunters. He reflects:
“I think it made me grow thinking that hunting is not cool.”
The trajectory of Dumbo In the homonymous film also left marks in Paul. This and other animals of the work are mistreated in its course. In his view, the feature film left many children reflective on the subject.
“You look at many of these great stories, such as Dumbo, your mother is very mistreated. Many of these classic stories, through their efforts, the children – as I went – grew up feeling that it is a bad idea to be cruel to animals.”
Paul McCartney requirements list
In addition to avoiding cruelty to animals, Paul McCartney abdicated eating meat for health reasons. This is reflected in his physical disposition: today over the age of 80, the artist can do very long shows and face strenuous trips.
Care extend to the period on the road, touring. In 2017, when the musician came to Brazil for shows, the magazine columnist EraBruno Astuto, had access to his list of requirements (via Igor Miranda website).
And no “sex, drugs and rock and roll” for the old Macca. For starters, his list brought an irrefutable request: a Chef specializing in vegetarian food to be at your disposal 24 hours a day. The rigor was such that the artist’s team requested the resumes of three cooks. They themselves would choose the professional themselves, not local producers.
Apart from the always off air conditioning, Paul also requested 15 jars of coconut water (per night), tropical fruits (especially strawberry), dark chocolate and microwave popcorn.
