Heather Mills: Meat-Eaters Vandalize Earth

Thu, 15 November 2007 22:27:33 ET

Having been loved and hated by the media for her bitter divorce, Heather Mills now turns her focus to meat-eaters around the world, accusing them for causing global warming.

Heather Mills has accused meat-eaters of "vandalising" the planet. The outspoken vegan campaigner blames carnivores for global warming and is set to appear in two adverts for Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva!) to make people embrace a plant-based diet to save the world.

The adverts feature Heather - who is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney, who as a committed vegetarian has also worked with Viva! - demanding: "End your involvement in this vandalism overnight! Change your diet and change the world!" Heather's first ad' features the line: "Hey Meaty, you're making me so hot!"

The former glamour model - who lost her left leg below the knee in a motorbike accident in 1993 - appears in a second advert which plays on her disability, warning meat-eaters: "You haven't got a leg to stand on!" Heather is also planning to lecture Londoners on the dangers of a carnivorous diet at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park next Monday (19.11.07).

Viva! claim vegetarianism can halt the globe's rising temperatures, which they claim are the result of the methane created by flatulent livestock. The campaign group's website insists: "Eating meat, fish and dairy causes environmental destruction, damages human health, contributes to global hunger and inflicts immense suffering on billions of animals across the world. Viva! believes the solution to all these problems is in our own hands. Go vegetarian, or better still, vegan!"

Meanwhile, it has been revealed Heather refused to appear in a TV documentary with British filmmaker Louis Theroux. Louis said: "I approached Heather the day after her divorce was announced last year. I think she should put herself forward more. It would have been a good one to see how her PR people were handling everything."
