Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 MILLS McCARTNEY GOES VEGAN http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/mills%20mccartney%20goes%20vegan SIR PAUL McCARTNEY's wife HEATHER MILLS McCARTNEY is enjoying a fresh change to her diet - she's become a vegan. The animal rights activist ditched meat from her diet more than a decade ago, but she recently decided she also wanted to throw out all other animal by-products. She says, "I've been a vegan for three months. I was a veggie for 12 years. I went vegetarian because I got an infection in my leg in hospital, and, after three months, somebody said, 'I cured myself of breast cancer going veggie,' and I was like, 'Yeah, right, I'm sure.' "I went to an institute in West Palm Beach... and within three weeks of wheatgrass and garlic and pulses, my whole leg just closed and healed. So I was ruled vegan for about a year and a half. And then I couldn't cope with going to restaurants and all that kind of stuff so then I went to become veggie." Since coming across a wider variety of vegan-friendly food, Mills McCartney decided it was time to make another drastic change. Ironically, McCartney's first wife, LINDA, was also a famous vegan, who launched her own vegetarian food range. http://www.talentrock.com/events/sendform.cfm?src=OverFame & OVRAW=famous & OVKEY=famous & OVMTC=content There are victories of the soul and spirit.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 As far as I am aware Linda McCartney was veggie not vegan. Her products and recipes were vegetarian and included dairy on the whole. I also think that Paul McCartney was and is veggie not vegan. Maybe he will join his wife though. Jo , " zurumato@e...

I thought all of Linda McCartney's products were vegan until she died, when the dairy then got added. I know that Paul McCartney is a big advocate of veganism - I'd assumed that he actually was vegan, but don't know for sure. BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi Peter I think you may be right - Colin said the same as you when I asked him. I must be thinking of someone else who wrote veggie recipe books - but I can't think who at present.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 ..... and I ~thought~ Paul McCartney is a spokesman for either the Vegetarian Society but it may well be the Vegan Society.
