Sting
"Vegetarianism Changed My Life!"

Excerpt from the French Magazine

"Vegetarian Cooking" (June-July 1996)
By Philippe PIERE-
ADOLPHE


 
The English pop star with dishevelled hair likes to talk about the benefits of his now healthy life. Whenever he is interviewed, he says it is thanks to his no-meat diet that he can hold a leading position on the stage. Years have passed, and now in his forties, he can no longer rely on his physical strength like he did at the time of "Police".

A True Farm

 Animals are too close to him to end up on his plate. Thus, in his magnificent manor in Akehouse, Stonehenge, forty-five minutes drive from London, Sting, as a true gentleman farmer, is surrounded by a real court of animals: pigs, sheep, horses, dogs... And not for the purpose of breeding animals, but for raising.... his soul of course.

 The British singer feels serene surrounded by these peaceful animals. When he is not on a world tour, his daily life is very stable. He gets up at dawn and eats a balanced breakfast without, of course, any kind of animal food: Bye-bye bacon, good morning cereal and fruit. Then, he recharges himself with yoga. He practices two hours of meditation daily, recognizing that this discipline has been a true revolution in his life. "I began to practice to keep my body busy, out of mere physical need... But very quickly, it became essential in my life. I have now a better control over my breathing, I can sing louder, my sex life has been enhanced. It is very encouraging." Through long hours of horse-riding, he can tap into the vitality that is generated from his "natural" diet.

 That man who appeared yesterday in magazines with a beer in his hand, and stressing the precepts of a "no-future" way of life, is now very careful of the quality of the products coming from the earth. Mindful of fertilizers and other pesticides used in too large quantities! For Sting, there is now a future - His five children. He composes songs for them and hopes to convey to them his conception of a balanced mind resulting from a perfectly harmonious life. Also regarding this this "ecolo" star _ please remember his commitment to the Amazon forest and Indians _ we should proselytize. That is, let's have the courage to advertize for the most noble ideals.
