In the News: Heather Mills Donates $1 Million of Vegan Food
Sunday October 5, 2008
Say what you will about the controversial ex-Mrs. Macca, but her latest move is one-hundred percent admirable. Heather Mills recently donated $1 million worth of vegetarian veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs and other healthy foods to benefit disadvantaged inner-city kids in the Bronx - one of the poorest neighborhoods in the US, where fresh healthy food is, unfortunately, hard to come by. One young taste-tester said of a donated veggie burger, "It’s good, but I’ve never had a veggie burger before. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to taste like."
Charitable organizations and their constituents suffer along with the rest of us during times of financial crises, so if you have some cash to spare, why not follow in Ms. Mills' admirable footsteps and donate some healthy vegetarian food to your local food bank?

Heather is fantastic! I only wish that all these great people who give without question, would remember the old adage “Give a man a fish and feed him for one day, TEACH a man to fish and feed him his whole life!”
