No Milk Moustache for Mrs. McCartney

Famous for marrying former Beatle Paul McCartney in 2002, Heather Mills McCartney, 38, is embarking on a crusade to eliminate milk from the British diet. Mrs. McCartney credits a dairy-free, vegan diet with helping her to overcome a post-operative infection following the amputation of a leg.

According to Wikipedia, in August 1993, she was hit by a police motorcycle while crossing the road; her injuries included crushed ribs, a punctured lung, a metal plate needing to be put in her pelvis and the amputation of her left leg below the knee. She has a prosthetic leg, and was noted for taking it off and showing it Larry King on his talk show in the US.


She also campaigns against land mines and fur.

A very fine non-vegan cure for what ails ya.

Oh Canada....finally in the crosshairs of celebrity do-gooders. The theme of the evening appears to be how know-it-alls want to control what goes into your body, be it Mrs. McCartney or the Texas legislature.

I was a vegan once for several motnhs, and I learned two things: first, the reason vegans are more peaceful than those of a more omnivorous bent is that vegans are too tired to make trouble; and second, there's a reason cattle look so bored.

I have never figured out why, if we're not supposed to eat animals, are they made out of meat?

Bad design choice.

During the vegan phase, a friend looked at what I was having for dinner and said "That's not food. that's what food eats."

I'm six foot seven, 15 stone of pure muscle and I work as a tiger wrestler. I've never eaten meat and I haven't drunk milk since I was 10. So, you want a go?

By the way, rick ballard, people are made of meat too. You eat them? And cats, and fluffly little bunnies.
