Farm leader dismisses McCartney’s meat-free campaign

A CAMPAIGN launched in Britain by former Beatle Paul McCartney to go vegetarian once a week to help combat global warming has been dismissed as nonsense by a farm leader in Ireland.

McCartney, his daughters, Stella and Mary, and a host of stars want people to consider giving up meat on Mondays.

The aim of the campaign, called “Meat Free Mondays,” which has already been launched in the US and Australia, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the world’s livestock population.
