Heather Mills Makes Vegans Look Bad

Heather Mills has been splashed all over the British press for exalting the benefits of rat’s milk as an alternative to the embarrassingly passé cow variety. Taking her turn at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, central London, a platform which served as political stage for historical figures such as Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, George Orwell, Mills demonstrated she doesn’t know the difference between an animal and a plant.

“Eighty percent of global warming comes from livestock and deforestation. I'm not telling people to go vegan overnight. But if they stop drinking their cows' milk lattes, maybe this sort of thing won't have to happen...There are many other kinds of milk available. Why don't we try drinking rats' milk and dogs' milk?" she said.

According to the Telegraph, Mills sported a T-shirt with the moniker, Vegan, you can't get greener.

Besides the question of how one would get their hands on planet-saving rat or dog milk, I think the last time I checked, drinking any kind of milk makes you “not a vegan”.

There seems to be no depth to which the symmetrically challenged former wife of a Beatle and star of “Dancing with the Stars” re-runs won’t stoop for a gulp of publicity. Of course it goes with out saying that her remarks were taken wildly out of context, but the British media has never been one to let the facts get in the way of a good story - so why the hell should we? Rat latte anyone?
