Directed by Mark Kirkland, Lisa the Vegetarian is the first full-length episode David X. Cohen wrote for The Simpsons. David Mirkin, the show runner at the time, supported the episode in part because he had just become a vegetarian himself. Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, is also a vegetarian. Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his then wife Linda McCartney guest star in the episode. Paul McCartneys condition for appearing was that Lisa would remain a vegetarian for the rest of the series.
