Former model Heather Mills - who is already a vegetarian - has decided to go one step further and become a vegan. In case you dont know, vegans do not eat any animal products whatsoever - including dairy, eggs, meat, etc. They also do not use any products or wear any clothing made from animals.
One reason that Heather made her decision is because she discovered exactly what farming methods do to our environment. This is not surprising since environmental issues are becoming a very hot topic these days.
Also, she feels that milk production is a form of animal cruelty:
She added: It is the obscenity of taking newborn calves away from their mothers so we can have their milk - a product designed by evolution for little cows, not little people, or big people for that matter.
I could never go back to eating meat, fish or dairy. I hate the cruelty of factory farming.
Good for her for having the courage to make such a drastic step in her diet. Ive personally known a few vegans in my time and they all seemed pretty healthy.
