This party was the first place to show the interview with Paul McCartney regarding to Meat Free Monday filmed in this April.
In the interview, Paul spoke about why he is a vegetarian, the connection of the lamb which he was eating and the joyful sheep he saw, and he explained about Meat Free Monday, which is very easy and good idea which we can try to reduce meat consumption. “We can do it, so do it!” he said in the end of the interview and this interview video is very meaningful and positive one.
There were many Paul’s fun for decades in the party and this interview video made them to say that they would try hard to make more vegetarian dishes. Also lots of attendances were very impressed with how Paul thinks about the animals, the planet and society and the way he told us very easy and thoughtful way.
Paul’s message in the interview should have affected the attendances and will affect those who will watch it to make different choices.
In this party, we believe that all of us could share and think again about the meanings of Meat Free Monday and be aware of our mission to spread the idea in whole Japan. In the end of the party, we spoke out “We can do it!”, which is Paul gave us in the interview, binding our feeling together .
