How 'The Simpsons' kept its vegetarian promise to Paul McCartney

In its over 32 years, "The Simpsons" has remained a renowned show known for addressing current events and hot button issues, its pop culture prowess and celebrity guest stars.

One of its standout episodes features Sir Paul and Linda McCartney as guest stars, and recently, a cast member revealed a unique stipulation to the famed couple’s appearance.

Appearing on a recent episode of the Allrecipes podcast to discuss her cooking series, actress Yeardley Smith, who has voiced Lisa Simpson since 1989, discussed the McCartneys’ cameos.

In “Lisa the Vegetarian,” Season 7 Episode 5, Lisa decides to stop eating meat after visiting a petting zoo, resulting in most of the other locals mocking her. Questioning her own decision after the ridicule, Lisa finds she can remain a vegetarian without being critical of those who aren’t after learning that the owner of Kwik-E-Mart, Apu, and his close friends Paul and Linda McCartney are also vegetarians.
