    You can always use the popular game kids play "Who would - Trump or McCartney?" and if the answer is Trump, don't do it.

    Who would build a wall for racist reasons - Trump or McCartney? Trump. Ah, ok then do not build a wall for racist reasons.

    Who would own a Pearl Jam album - Trump or McCartney? McCartney. Ah ok, then do buy a Pearl Jam album (Riot Act).

    Who would own a hunting cabin - Trump or McCartney?
    Who forces their staff to eat the same things they do, forcing their beliefs on others- Trump or McCartney?

    yeah, that game doesn't work. 
    Yeah, pretty lame.  Someone could ask “Who would admit to masturbating in a room full of other dudes and ordering hookers in Vegas?” 
    Oh yeah, Paul McCartney did...
    btw, I still love McCartney regardless of his transgressions.

    hahaha, never heard about that. 
    It is a humorous read :)

    You consider those transgressions? Why? Consenting adults and all.

    lol, I knew this was going to be the response. see, the difference is, you get INVITED to an event, you eat what is served to you. you WORK for McCartney,  you are not allowed to eat anything that isn't plant based. that's a big difference.

    So don't work for a man who chooses not to support the unnecessary slaughter of other living beings. If you aren't able to see his commendable way of living.

    Go work for Ted Nugent instead. 

    Swedens biggest music festival Way Out West (which you might remember from "Neal Young" tearing up the place in 2008*) doesn't allow meat to be sold on the festival area. Is that also wrong?

    being forced to eat a certain way at your job is not, in any way, the same as having the choice of going to a festival and only having certain foods available for purchase. 

    i have no issue with vegans. "commendable". a bit self-righteous? 

    anyway, back to guns.

    I don't know what agreement they have. But if it is in in like Pauls home I think he has every right to decide what's allowed there.

    If he's peaking through the windows at night to control what  his gardener eats, that's another story. 

    But I don't know anything about it. I couldn't even tell you all the songs on Rubber Sould in order.

    The main point is - a greenhouse is better than a hunting cabin. And Paul luckily, is no Glorified G.

    Haha.

    I'm pretty McCartney is not controlling what his employees eat on their own dime...I remember a tour a few years back that he was only serving plant-based food to his staff to set up the concert...that would be his choice since he is the one paying for the catering...

    Yes, exactly. When he pays he can control what is served.  Those who don’t want to eat the vegan catering can get their own food. I have read that he forbids animal products backstage at his shows, but staff can eat them in the rest of the venue. 

    And I have not been able to find anything that says what the ask is for regular employees (which I assume he has), but I’m certain he isn’t sending investigators to their homes or watching them out at restaurants.

    haha, I didn't claim he did that (your last sentence). But if he's paying for it, obviously, that's another story. i wasn't talking specifically about catering. My impression was that he forbade any animal from being consumed on the property while they were under his employ. that would be akin to the president of my company telling me I can't have a bologna sandwich on my lunch break. But maybe my details are incorrect. this was back in the mid 90's when he came here on tour there was some hubub about it.

    I believe your details are incorrect, from what I’ve read. No animal products backstage while he’s on tour. 

    I don't know, but I suspect that an employer might be able to say no animal products in their offices. You would of course be free to leave the premises and eat your bologna elsewhere.
