I always watched, completely fascinated, how people share themselves in various groups.
The idea of “I am X and I am an (something, anything)” raised a big question mark for me, as in would I ever do it if facing a similar situation? And I believe I would, being a very important part in the healing process, understanding and accepting your situation. However, I also believe that it’s important you achieve this awareness in a certain environment, where intimacy and comprehension are at home and where proper reaction and assistance are provided.
When this advertising popped-up before my eyes “I am Paul McCartney and I am a Vegetarian” I felt a compulsive need to ask “so what can I do for you?”. I won’t deny PETA’s work and importance, but it’s my right to react (or not) in front of an advertising poster. And this poster features a Sir McCartney indeed, for he looks up to us like an aristocrat should. And not just any aristocrat – a vegetarian one! How petty of us (the non vegetarian) for not taking that road!
I do like the t-shirts, though! Look subversively amusing to me! What’s your take on vegetarian-attitude and/or lifestyle? Does this vegetarian-anonymous ad-print work some magic on you?

Personally, I think if more of the population were less in your face about sensitive subjects, we may all just get along better. I respect opinions and lifestyles that differ from my own, but feel a bit enraged by the ad. Shame on me for eating chicken or an occasional hamburger :)
“I’m Paul McCartney and I need lots of attention to earn my money back because despite I’m a vegetarian I’m a silly old fool too it didn’t made me even think straight and now I’m in messy divorce.”
By the way, I’m not a vegetarian but I do eat meat very moderated just because it has always made me feel better. Tofu is a great product though with many possiblities for those who loves to cook.
Just a note: I can see Peta’s point but I can’t support them being a non-violent person.
