If a random person stopped you in the street and told aliens were invading, you'd assume he was a mentalist and move on. Opinions are like arseholes really, everybody has one and unless you create a Facebook group, nobody will know or care what you think. Reach celebrity status however and all of a sudden people will dribble at each moronic word spouted.
Paul McCartney has reached this stage. Before become a spokesperson for vegetables, he played in a vaguely successfully band called The Beatles and had hit songs including ‘Hey Punch And Judy’, ‘Ha’penny Lane’ and ‘Back In The MFI’.
The music legend gave up eating the flesh of animals in the 1970?s and then proceeded to tell us why we should as well. Frankly, we're bored of him harping on. Perhaps he's realised that nobody cares and, is instead, spreading the message of cucumbers to India.
The only people to agree with Paul McCartney are vegetable terrorists PETER. We imagine the members of this meat hating organisation get their kicks by using sprouts as gobstoppers, sprinkled with a little sugar if they've been good. When they cast eyes on Lady Gaga?s meat dress, it must have been an apocalyptic moment for them, causing them all rub red onions into their eyes so the pain would go away, with added extra pain to veggie martyrdom.
Why he targeted India is a bit of a mystery, after all he is already halfway there if a U.N survey conducted in 2003 is to be believed. Reportedly, nearly half (42%) of India’s 1.2 billion people are vegetarian. And that was eight years ago, so with a booming population, that number will probably be higher.
Honestly, he could have at least preached to the people of Scotland where the word ?vegetable? is as offensive as the naughty ?c? word.
Digital Spy reports:
?The former Beatle sent a letter to the Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh urging the country to declare a day that, he says, would promote the environment as well as healthy living and eating habits.?It would be a celebration of life,” McCartney stated in the letter, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).?
What Paul McCartney has against meat is a mystery. Did he once order a steak not cooked to his liking? Or when he and John Harrison from The Beetles went through their druggy recording period, perhaps he did something with a farmyard creature that he'd rather forget?
Nonetheless, if he gets his way, all of India will soon be holding hands and celebrating the humble vegetable ? forgetting that for millions of years, man has hunted and gathered animals for food and shelter, eliminating the old method of throwing spears at things like dinosaurs for food.
If this does happen, we?ll happily eat a large slice of vegetable flavoured humble pie. Indians have exported their cuisine around the world, so who is a former musician to take away some blokes lamb madras or beef bhuna?

This is a predictably stupid post. Given the great numbers of vegetarians in India, and the great numbers of Hindus who don’t eat animals for religious reasons, it makes perfect sense for that country to celebrate vegetarianism. And if you weren’t trying so hard to be clever, you’d see that.
And calm down. You can go eat our porkfat sausages all you want. And one of the world’s best-known vegetarians has a right to express his opinion. No one forced you to write about it.

No, someone paid him. That’s kinda the point…
