- Paul McCartney is urging everyone to drop eating meat for just one day a week in order to make a different in the world. His non-profit, “Meat Free Monday” created a documentary short to encourage people to become vegetarian just once a week. In an interview with National Geographic’s editor-in-chief Susan Golden, he explained why he became a vegetarian 40 years ago.
Ever since I saw the “if slaughterhouses had glass walls” video, vegetarian wasn’t enough for me. That was when I went full vegan. It’s been two years and I’ve never looked back
That video is also the reason I am vegetarian
i haven't watched it but i think free ranged eggs are fine if you ask me. i get eggs from chickens in my garden. that's the one animal product i cant see wrong with eating so long as the chickens live a happy/natural life.
full vegan is not healthy
José Feliciano we need meat. B12 for starters
Matthew Thomas exactly
Dammn I don't know why people act like it's so hard to quit meat only once a week. So many substitutes nowadays
yeah but nothing comes close to the real stuff when it comes to nutrition and positive effects on health, like meat does
@BitterVoid where did animal guts come form lol. "Ask someone what eating too much will do to you" bruh what is this supposed to mean. I mean there are some cons with plant based diets like not enough protein, nutrient deficiencies like iron and calcium just to name a few. There are definitely some side effects to eating meat but as long as you dont eat too much meat it should be healhty for your body.
Vegetarian products don't cost more than animal guts because its healthier and better for you its because animal guts aren't usually used and eaten so they cost very cheap. Vegetarian food is also more expensive since it is hard for companies to produce them but for meat it is pretty easy since they have farms that can produce animals without much cost. Also i don't know if you're being serious or just retarded by saying that meat eaters are poor/undecated people
@@napakamu9670 what a non-scientific nonsense
@@Daichi123 i have been a vegetarian for 4 years now and i don't have any malnutritions or "not enough protein"
last one is a complete myth btw
@@napakamu9670 There is no science that backs your claim.
Im vegetarian too
Ray bro high five ✋🏻 me too vegetarians unite
Nobody cares. Im eating all kinds of meet. ALL KIIINDS...
@@juanjaramillo6792 it seems like some people care, and only someone so idiotic to spell meat wrong would write something so stupid.

I did landscaping for a small company and my boss owned a farm next to the shop we worked out of. Every day, there would be the same cow watching us load our equipment in a trailer and I would pet it when I would see him by the fence. After a while, I started feeling weird and awkward knowing I had made a connection with such a lovely animal yet I had no problem eating it. I became vegetarian since that realization. I'm so glad I never got to see those gruesome documentaries to become vegetarian.
Great story :) thank you so much. I love cows but sadly don’t live near any :(. I’ve haven’t eaten animals in 17 years, best shape of my life!
That's awesome. Look into veganism, as the dairy & egg industries are cruel, violent and barbaric as well.
from japan.
im a vegan too.
meat free on Monday is not enough... Everyone should do some research and ask them selfs if it's moral correct to abuse animals for our pleasure. There is no need for it!
You are not abusing animals just killing them and eating them.Now if I watered boarded them before I killed them that would be abuse.
Moreno Gomes It’s not pleasure it’s a food chain you moron
Moreno Gomes, Paul agrees that one day isn’t enough. It’s just when you push everyone to immediatly go vegan because it’s immoral, it will lead to cognitive dissonance. So that will lead to nothing. If you ask people to slowly stop eating meat, mofe people will eventually become vegetarian and even vegan. And that will eventually lead to less animal harm.
gary smallwood, I agree, but in 99% of the cases animals were being abused. But still, let’s just assume there is a pig who had a beautiful life. Would it be ok to take his life away from him, just because it tastes nice?
Try the meat-free monday, experiment with vegetarian and vegan food. I think if will be much easier than you think.
Conor Dunmore, ‘food chain’ is actually just an observation of nature. I don’t agree with that being an argument, it could also be nature to eat humans, but that doesn’t make it moral in my opinion.
paul knows!!
No. People should be vegetarian eight days a week
It's not a difficult thing to give up. Honestly you lose weight, eat healthier, feel better. it's a positive change and frankly you wont miss meat
I’m vegetarian too! ❤️
It's sad that most people eat so much meat they think going without meat just one day a week is such a big deal!! wow. Even when I was eating meat I was eating meat just a few times a week if that!!
yeah, alot of people think a meal is incomplete without meat. thing is, if you try telling them there are alternatives to meat in a meal, they just say something like "ugh i hate quorn" or "ugh i hate fake meat". neither do i actually, but there are so many other ttpes of food that have the same nutritional value as meat. like iv been a vegetarian since birth and iv barely ever eaten quorn and i would say im above average health.
Animals aren't people
@@marcdewey1242 what an argument. nobody was even talking about animals
God bless Paul McCartney!!!! He has such a wonderful message and songs. He’s such a wonderful person!!!
On The Simpsons, Lisa went vegetarian for the same reason.
Not a coincidence. Paul did a voice on that show.
Paul demanded that Lisa stays veg forever and checks it periodically)
@@nickzaytz5712 That part must be on the cutting room floor. Sir Paul asks so little of people. Just go meat free once a week. My favorite vegan restaurant has a special every Monday. If you say the words "Meatless Monday" you get 10% off. If you visit Las Vegas, be sure to try Pancho's Vegan Tacos. The food and service is great, and the atmosphere is quirky and unique. It is located in Liberace's old restaurant which was known as Tivoli Gardens. Fun music too, which includes songs by The Rat Pack.
Great idea! :)
there's no reason to dislike this
It is so funny listening to people try to tell me why it’s not healthy when it’s been 3 years since I’ve eaten it and have had nothing but positive results
Ringo was a veggie long before Paul, Ringo used to hate touring abroad cos he bad stomach trouble going back to his childhood, he used to take loads of tins of Heinz baked beans in his luggage & would only eat eggs & chips even in the states..
Someone who eats Chicken abortions is hardly a vegetarian.
J.J. do you know what fertilization is?
@Faul McOmlete an egg is a chicken abortion. No moral vegetarian could seriously eat that and still think of themselves as a vegetarian. An egg is a chicken's life ruined.
Would you eat a fetus?
J.J. of course
Linda's burgers and chicken tastes soo good. Much better than meat.
Just to be sure I'm vegan because I don't want any violence left! No violence at all it's not extreme , it's peace!
Lindas.3 Lindas.3 your intention is good, but don’t you think that the making of this claim is a little ignorant?
my dream is
no killers world.
7 days a week is better
People don't need to quit eating meat fully, not if they feel that's too much. What's needed is that we must eat less meat in order to save our planet. In fact, we need to cut down on many things we find as luxuries. No need to quit if you feel that's not possible for you, but you sure need to think things over. Is it needed to eat meat everyday? Is it needed to drive your car to places where you could take a walk or where there are bus stops so you could take the bus? We need to reflect, that's what we need to do.
Whoever edited this needs to learn how to colour grade...
Yes I will not eat meat one or three days a week 👍
Are u vegetarian /vegan now ? :)
So I'm just wondering if he has a take on veganism then?
I became carnivore this year. Never felt healthier. I promise to never eat vegetables nor fruit again.
Do you like any vegetable/fruit at all? (flavor or texture) I love potatoes 🤤
according to jojo laine paul is not a real vegetarian and he used to hide behind the amplifiers with giant burgers
he woulda had a heart attack then
i am the amplifier and this is fake
Amazing
Holy fuck if slaughterhouses had glass walls watch it.Frightened the shit out of me.
Im glad i made the connection without seeing all these films you guys talk about
Nobody likes me everybody hates me, I can’t eat worms cuz I’m a vegetarian. -onision
I do try during lent on Fridays
Don't worry, I have no money to buy meat at the meat shop.
How are animals allowed to eat other animals, but humans are not, humans are animals, and we were nomadic animals and then invented clothes, we are hunters. Yeah but he didn’t have to make a cartoon character exactly like him
The simpsons
Go vegan
i love steak and chicken. would i be able to kill a cow and eat it just because i wanted steak or kill a chicken because i wanted chicken, the reality is no. that disconnect bothers me. an emergency of course to survive i would feel i had to but just because i want meat i just cant see myself killing an animal for it. i had my first vegetarian meal at an indian restaurant today and i think it has changed me.
Im vegan🤩
GO VEGAN!
He's like a good Trump
I just made a commitment to eat MORE meat per week on Mondays. 😝😎🥩🥓👏
I thought vegan and vegetarian were the same thing
Can definitely avoid meat one time per week. All week. Impossible. My gut cannot eat 70% of the foods in the produce section. Hard to digest veggies and fruit cause gut bloating and massive pain. Yes, I have tried every probiotic and digestive enzyme imaginable. I also do not like eating processed food like pasta which also irritates my tummy. There is a reason why people are eating ALL MEAT diets. They have to. Almost everything else really hurts their tummy. Fortunately I can eat things like spinach and potatoes and well cooked onions and carrots and bell peppers, etc. When I eat meat, I stick with organic, free range and hormone free because it is healthier and the animals have a better life. But I just cannot feel guilt about my diet. I try to keep my meat consumption low. But it is a total myth that ALL humans can be veggies if we want to. Some people's guts are extremely sensitive. I am at the top of the food chain. I do not abuse it. I am conscious about it. But I am living a life of pain when I eat tangerines, broccoli, and arugula when an properly raised animal that is raised well only experiences a few seconds of pain during best practice slaughtering.
He is the one losing
What are you winning?

I would love eat a burger in front of Paul McCartney.
I would love you watching me eat a burger made out of your friends. That does sound kinda bad, doesn't it? Stop being arrogant, atleast respect us if you're not compassionate enough to join us
I would love to eat a veggie burger with Paul McCartney
Ondra Spendlik Don't you think you're being arrogant if you think anyone that doesn't agree with you doesn't have enough compassion?
There is a difference between not agreeing and respecting. I respect his opinion, even though I don't agree with it. He clearly doesn't respect vegetarians and vegans and doesn't have compassion for animals. Also, his comment is clearly meant to disrespect vegetarianism, veganism and Paul's Meat Free Mondays. I would guess you're a meat eater too, right? Well, animals are living creatures and no human should have any right to use, own or harm any animal (except for obvious cases such as self defense from attacking animal). I might have put it in the wrong way. It might not be about how much compassion you have. I know people who are meat eaters, but are even more compassionate to other people than me. This is about having the right kind of compassion. The one not just for people, the one for every living creature in this world (and don't come at me with the plant thing, it is scientificaly proven plants don't feel any pain). So, he might have enough compassion (which I don't think he has, because purposely eating meat in front of a vegetarian solely to piss him off isn't nice at all), but doesn't have the type of compassion, which would help the whole planet to have a better life (it's not just about animals being alive, it's also about all that's done to produce the meat, starting with wasting huge amounts of ground and water to grow plants used for overfeeding animals, which could instead feed all the people, including the poor, and also all the animals, if everyone switched to veganism, going through the huge amounts of CO2 produced during meat production and ending with better physical health of the mankind, again proven by science). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and I hope it explains all the reasons why we're doing what we're doing and why I reacted to his comment in such way
Go vegan
