Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney, musician, songwriter, and former vocalist and bassist for The Beatles, had a profound experience one day when deciding to give up meat.

“We were in the kitchen at the farm, sitting down to the usual roast Sunday lunch. And through the window we could see all these little lambs, a great big gang of them, doing that cute thing that lambs do, you know, where they all run to one end of the field like this [doing an impression of frolicking lambs] and then they all ran back to the other end of the field. They were having a great time. And we just looked down at the leg of lamb on our plates. We made the connection and that was it. Linda picked up the ball. We decided then and there to give up eating meat.”
