Sir Paul McCartney is backing a PETA campaign urging the government to remove mandatory meat, fish and dairy from school menus in England. The Liverpudlian is asking them to replace it with nutritional guidelines 'that allow schools to be more flexible'. In a statement, the family said: 'No one needs to eat meat, so it shouldn't be mandatory to serve it in schools. It's time to revise the School Food Standards to help the planet, spare animals, and promote healthy eating.' Sir Paul and his daughters have been long-term animal rights activists and vegetarians.
