Paul McCartney: “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.”
Paul McCartney has delivered an anti-turkey Christmas message, telling people to go vegetarian this festive season.
The former Beatle appears in animal rights charity PETA's new Christmas advertising campaign, wearing an 'eat no turkey' t-shirt beneath the slogan, "celebrate life this holiday season, go vegetarian."
McCartney has also recorded a voiceover for the group's latest campaign video about the meat industry titled 'Glass Walls' after McCartney's quote, "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian."
Speaking about what the McCartney household eats over Christmas, he says: "We eat a veggie roast at home, so if we have traditional moments like Christmas … the roast is perfect. It's completely vegetarian, but I can slice it, so I can do all my traditional dad things. We can do our family stuff with it, and it's delicious, so I much prefer that to my memory of turkey."
Paul McCartney is the latest musician to join PETA's campaign to promote animal rights. Joss Stone appeared naked in an anti-fur campaign.
or we're such elitist we only say 'no' to turkey?

God, I can't wait til Thursday.
some pumpkin pie for last ty.
And every year my family got together we would have to triple the recipe because we all love it.
At my In-laws, they just make a normal amount and I end up with all of it because they are not to big on it. They really only make it because its "tradition."
basically everything besides sweet potatoes
sometimes i make corn that's been boiled in chicken broth and that's fucking awesome. the day after thanksgiving i make turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes and stuffing on top of the turkey.
Might have to try that.
Other than that, I will throw down on some homemade mac and cheese and green bean casserole.
I appreciate what Paul and others are trying to do by spreading awareness. Ofc, there's a lot of constraints like money that a lot of ppl would face in trying to adapt to such a choice, so I kind of rme at someone so wealthy as Paul even tho I get they're not coming from a bad place.
I grew up spending a bunch time on ranches and I nvr felt bad about the animals that were killed for food, but they weren't cooped up and treated the way animals are treated in factory farms tho.
DO
NOT
GIVE
A
FUCK
They couldn't care fucking less about the fact that people who own Butterball farms make on average like $19k. They couldn't fucking care less. It is SO FAR from being purely a health issue and entirely about local economics. These cities are BEHOLDEN to Butterball and what the fuck are they going to say if they misstep a little guideline????
