Thom Yorke
“When I ate meat, I felt sick. Then I started dating a girl and wanted to impress her, so I pretended to be a veteran vegetarian. At first, like many others, I thought that the body would not receive the necessary substances, that I would get sick. In fact, everything turned out to be quite the opposite: I felt better, I stopped feeling sick. From the very beginning, it was easy for me to give up meat, and I never regretted it, ”says Thom Yorke, musician of Radiohead.

During the filming of the film “Help!” In the Bahamas, a Hindu gave each of the Beatles a copy of a book about Hinduism and reincarnation. Harrison’s interest in Indian culture expanded and he embraced Hinduism. Between the last tour of the Beatles in 1966 and the beginning of the recording of the album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” Harrison and his wife made a pilgrimage to India. There he took up the study of the sitar, met with a number of gurus and visited the holy places of Hinduism. In 1968, Harrison, along with other Beatles, spent several months in Rishikesh studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. That same year, Harrison became a vegetarian and remained so for the rest of his life.

You won’t be successful if you’re fat.” She ate carrots, black coffee and toast, and her weight ranged from 45 to 49 kg. She called the treatment a long process. She became a vegetarian only recently, in 2009.
