Paul McCartney might be one of the most famous vegetarians on the planet. His deceased wife, Linda, even has her own line of vegetarian foods available. McCartney spent a cool £3,000,000 in 1999 to make sure Linda’s range of food remained free from GM ingredients. Unfortunately fast food giant McDonald’s appears to be unaware of Sir Paul’s vehement distaste for meat, and has hung photographs of the Fab Four in one of its Liverpool branches. British tabloid The Sun is reporting that McCartney is “furious” with this turn of events, while his spokesman, Geoff Baker, had this to say: “What sort of morons do McDonald's think Beatles fans are? It's ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald's - and not just in Liverpool."
It seems unlikely that McDonald’s will take down the pictures in the near future, as a spokesman for the company said the photographs are supposed to "acknowledge the outstanding contribution the Beatles made to both local and global culture.” [via NME]
