Heather Mills recently announced she is now vegan! After learning more about how hideous factory farming is and intent on reducing its destructive impact on the planet, Mills decided to take her vegetarianism to the alpha level. “I could never go back to eating meat, fish or dairy. I hate the cruelty of factory farming,” she says.

The former model and estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney joins a short yet influential list of celebrities using their star status to spotlight the virtues of veganism. Mills says, “Following a plant-based diet not only benefits your health massively but also makes a huge difference to the planet, to animals and to feeding the world. My hope is to continue to put the message out there.” Heather also says it’s an “obscenity” to take newborn calves from their mothers so people can have their milk which is designed for cows and not people.

Regardless of her personal dramas and press coverage, I give Heather Mills’ pledge to end animal suffering a gold star!
