Heather Mills has said she’s decided to change from being a vegetarian to a vegan - because of the cruelty involved in milk production.

She said recently: “I’m a vegan now - a healthy diet which saves animals, something very important to me as I detest cruelty.”

“Following a plant-based diet not only benefits your health massively but also makes a huge difference to the planet, to animals and to feeding the world.”

“My hope is to continue to put the message out there.”

“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 hate the cruelty of factory farming. I could never go back to eating meat, fish or dairy.”
