I'm trying to reproduce healthily in a vegetarian way every kind of flesh there is - bacon, smoked salmon, roast meat. We're working on it. A lot of vegetarians complain that my book [Linda McCartney's Home Cooking] is meat-oriented and some of the products look like meat. For me, though, it's a matter of not just preaching - I hate to do it and it doesn't work - but helping to make the alternatives more attractive to more people. Change the eating habits and maybe you change the thinking habits. ... I'm convinced that part of the reason the world is so sick is that so many people eat flesh. What are you doing but eating a slab of fear? ... Look how long it took to abolish slavery. There was a time when much of the "civilized" world thought it was acceptable. And then they saw that it was wrong. I think the same thing will happen with eating animals. I have faith that the day will come when the world looks back and says, "How could we have done that?" (Linda McCartney)
