    I'm not a big fan of the celebrity "role model" idea as I tend to agree that if someone goes vegan just because some sleb is, it probably won't last.

    However if more well-known people were vegan it would help to sort of "normalise" it because with any luck they would mention it in interviews and so on and it would make people realise that there are quite a few of us around and that it can't be as difficult as all that.

    If the person is some sort of hate figure it might backfire, but I don't really know whether that's true of the person under discussion (just call me Ms Out-of-touch-with-popular-culture). OTOH maybe it's true that there's no such thing as bad publicity when you're just trying to get the idea into people's field of vision.

    You're probably right, however given that we vegans are still such a tiny minority then each individual who is vegan can have a significant impact on how 'normal' people view our diet/lifestyle.

    For example, I don't know even one other vegan in the real world (), so to all the people I work/socialise with I represent pretty much their only experience of veganism. If I come across as aggressive/self-righteous/nuts then, rightly or wrongly, this is going to cloud their view.
    i was put off going from veggie to vegan at first because i thought vegans were nutters. that probably wasn't the only reason i didn't do it back then but it certainly put me off the idea and if the general public don't know any other vegans other than those who come across a bit loopy, they're bound to jump to conclusions.

    not that i'm necessarily saying Heather Mills is a nutter, i think she does some good things and some not so good, i personally don't mind her either way.

    But was it public-figure nutters that made you think that, Gorilla, or nutters you knew personally?

    Not being in the UK I haven't followed the whole Heather and Paul thing. I think she's a strong lady with strong opinions, which probably don't sit very well with certain people. I don't know much about her "gold-digger" aspects, or how true these are, but do any of us? I remember seeing the video of her trying to get fur banned and being amazed at her strength, especially as the heat was causing her problems with her leg. I just think it's a pity we live in a society that's so quick to judge people for their flaws - we are just human after all.

    I caught this clip on You Tube and thought Heather kept it together amazingly well - the journalist treated her like sh** and I'm amazed she didn't walk out sooner.

    it sounds like you have a problem that she got money out of her divorce. fair play to her! she got what she could and is using it well.
    she is making an impact, but not a big enough impact to some people here. wh ydo people expect so much out of "famous" people? they are only people, just like us. i just wish people would stop putting people like her on pedestals.
    id lie to the press, and the general public.





    she doesnt ask to be the public face of veganism.
    pretty much, shes damned if she does, damned if she doesnt.




    nobody here called her a fuckin bitch (apart from me), i was being sarcastic.
    what makes YOU think heather "heads up a vegan campaign"? i certainly dont think she does, and neither does she. shes using what shes got (fame) to reach out to people, show them whats going on, trying to educate them. she doesnt hink shes some vegan godess speaking for all vegans, shes just doing her bit, like some of us here may or may not do.


    ok, what makes ME think that Heather heads up a vegan campaign is seeing her face all over every piece of VIVA! literature i ever see these days - go figure, as you say!
    i do have a bit of a problem with someone refusing an out of court divorce settlement for 15 million cos it's not enough money, yes, i think that's greedy.
    i also actually have a problem with not being allowed to have an opinion that might be anything but great about anyone who is vegan or campaigning for animals.

    In our patriarchal society women that fit this description are called "bitchy", whereas men on the other hand are called "assertive leaders" and good role models.

    I don't know much about her "gold-digger" aspects, or how true these are, but do any of us?
    Isn't it obvious? She married a rich person and then in the divorce proceedings had the audacity to expect alimony. No, I don't know of any further evidence but isn't this enough alone?

    Great video fiamma! Notice how the reporter dismissively winces with disbelief, at 27 seconds in, to the concept that meat and dairy might contribute to global warming. Heather's composure is impressive and I love how she exposes the subterfuge that she was subjected to that the interview was to be about global warming and not her divorce. She was railroaded.

    According to pre-divorce web speculation, Paul was estimated to be worth 1.5 to 1.6 billion, once the divorce proceedings were announced his own estimate came in at around 800 million. [] Even if we go by his more conservative figure, 15 million represents just 1.8% of his worth. I don't know much about divorce law in the UK, but here in the US women often ask for and sometimes receive as much as 50%.

    i'm just a bit old fashioned and see marriage as a commitment for life (although i would empathise with anyone leaving a marriage due to domestic violence, for instance).
    i'm also a bit weird about money in that i can't imagine why anyone would feel they 'need' or 'deserve' as much as 15 million or more than that figure, PLUS a monthly living allowance! .

    I did mention earlier in this thread that it's my opinion that Heather does do some good campaign work and that i feel she's a 'genuine' vegan. Just because i think she makes mistakes - yes, as we all do - doesn't mean i 'hate' her or think she's 'bad'.

    Seitan says he would lie if he was in the public eye, but i don't understand why a person would lie about giving money to charity if they hadn't ?. I was 100% on her side (even though i did think she was a bit greedy for money!) until i read that, with what seemed to be genuine records backing it up.

    Seitan, btw, i don't think i'm a 'vegan goddess' - far from it, sometimes i wish i wasn't a vegan atall .

    Seems a bit lop-sided for vegans not to complain about vegans. Surely that would be very wrong - if someone has controversial views and you didn't question them because both you and they were vegan - that would show an unfortunate and short sighted bias - no?
    is that cue for me to rag on someone here?

    im not having a pop at you here, but could you tell me (us?)more about that line of thinking? its something i dont understand, how youre contemplating reducing your input to animal suffering, but dont do it, because someone else who has done it, seems weird/a nutter etc?

    Like you, Stu, I'd like to believe the best of Heather Mills - I think her heart's probably in the right place, but her gob runs away with her. But in the specific instance of the divorce stuff, I felt really uncomfortable about the stuff she said about Bea - "having to travel coach when her father travels first class" because the baby only got £35K a year. That didn't smack of someone who wanted to prise Macca's fingers off his wallet and distribute it to the worthy. My opinion only, and probably just means I'm a terrible snob.

    yes, this is an interesting point me and my wife have talked about in the past, how, many people (including women) take her assertive and confident side as being mouthy etc, as women arent "supposed" to act that way. it appears some people here may also be falling in to that trap.

    ive seen another clip of a very similar interview, where the interviewer just ignored what heather was saying ,and just ranted on about all the bullshit, that way too many average joes want to hear.
    heather kept plugging away.

    i was at the viva office few weeks back, and i can inform you that not every bit of viva literature contains heather, obviously, just the bits youve seen

    so, is he not being greedy by not wanting her to have more?

    well i wondered the same until i read this interview (with accounts as evidence) that she was only actually giving a small fraction of her money to charity, which was a much smaller figure than she claimed to have been giving.

    no, i oppose the idea of sponging off one's ex partner above and beyond what one needs and/or deserves. If two people start out together with nothing and earn their money together, then i feel it only fair that money would be divided equally if the couple split up.
    If someone marries someone else who has a house and money they privately earned before the partnership, then i don't necessarily believe that the partner who came into the relationship with less deserves to walk out with an equal division of riches.
    I do believe that fathers should take responsibility for their children but that (to me) is another matter.

    Should Paul give only the average amount of child support to help raise Beatrice, say whatever the national average is, or should he pay more than average because he is rich? I think he should pay much more than average and I see his obligation to Heather similarly. You are right that there are several factors that come to play: time together, children together, finances prior to merger, pre nups, finances gained together during the merger etc, but without a pre nup, Paul risked losing a lot. My understanding is she got 24 million or so (?), that doesn't seem right to me considering its only 3% of his claimed worth. I would agree 50% is way too much but 3% seems too little, especially if it is really 1.5% as she claims and pre-divorce estimates seem to support. Just my 2 pence.

    In terms of the settlement amount there is the issue of her earning ability which I assume has been damaged by the negative press she has had during the marriage - it is hard to see how she could go back to supporting herself in the same way she did before (though I admit I don't know too much about her).

    I do find it strange that Paul never went vegan. I don't think Heather was even a vegetarian when they met was she? Yet on becoming educated by her association with him she did the logical thing and became vegan. He has been exposed to the same, if not more, information but remains veggie.

    It's true i do have some issues with her (reported) behaviour, and some general issues with people who marry rich partners and then go all-out to get whopping divorce settlements -
    BUT
    i do admire a lot of the work she does for charity, and i respect her as a vegan.

    Maybe she just wanted to appear more compassionate and 'better' than Linda so went that step further than vegetarianism??

    The Heather Mills donates $1million of Vegan food to Bronx Neighbourhood story! :-

    http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/20230.html

    When I heard about this I was so excited and thought what a wonderful oppritunity it would be to try and introduce Veganism into the BX. However, I have heard the debate that this food may go wasted and also that the people of Hunts Point can't 'afford' to continue such a lifestyle.
    I feel that to make an effort like this effective it needs to be in combination with education. I live in an area outside of the bronx and I dont think the people living in this area have knowledge of Vegan foods or lifestyle. To them they may be seen as 'discusting' or too expensive.
    With all of that said, My father runs a market in Hunts Point, so I am actively trying to get involved. I would like to get a closer look at how the food is being administered and try to educate as much as possible. not only so this food doesnt go to waste but more importantly, maybe I will be able to get one or two people to see all of the benifits from a Vegan diet. I am excited to have the chance to share my passion. Who knows, I could change someones life!

    Let's not keep saying that this is simply because she's a "strong woman". The media, as I have pointed out previously, will dislike her for their own potentially spurious reasons of which sexism may be one, but I know of strong and vocal women in the public eye who do not feel the need to manufacture and embellish details about their lives for no apparent reason.
    All I'm saying is I wish she was able to curb her flakey side when perceived as the current face of veganism, but I wish her well in her efforts since she is obviously well meaning herself.

    That's a bit of an effort just for that reason isn't it? And to keep it up all this time (when it didn't make people see her as better than saint Linda or Paul) and raise her child a vegan? I'm not quite so cynical.

    I don't read the tabloids or gossip mags/columns, I didn't even see the documentary about her so I can't really say I know much about the lies she's said to have told. I've seen videos of her work for animal rights, and I'm very supportive of it. I wouldn't know what to believe about her private life, but either way it doesn't affect my view of her, as to me it is just that - her private life. I did watch that clip that Fiamma posted, and I thought the reporter did a really bad job and treated her really unfairly, but then again it is channel 5 so I wouldn't expect any better really.

    but i wont

    for what its worth, i feel its very difficult to judge someone from their media personality, yet there are +135 posts here about someone presumably nobody here has met.

    it did also cross my mind as to whether she was a member here, dont remember seeing her intro posts though

    All I'm saying is I wish she was able to curb her flakey side when perceived as the current face of veganism, but I wish her well in her efforts since she is obviously well meaning herself.
    i think your initial response to me was aimed at what i said in reply to cobweb(?);
    "he may well be, but appears more important to slag off someone trying to further the vegan cause.
    go figure............"

    when i said "HE" i was reffering to richard bacon, not you. you appear to have taken it that i was talking about you, i wasnt.

    i think its irrelevant if you were not slagging off her veganism. but just slagging her off for something else. you were still slagging (i dont like that word, but we all know what we're trying to say) her off.
    i really dont care about her private life, its something ill never know the truth about. what i care about is vegans slagging off other vegans, (vegans that ARE doing something) because of stuff theyve read in newspapers or seen on tv.

    I don't watch telly or read newspapers. The whole idea of "celebrity" baffles me.
    I can't help wondering though, if I married, then divorced, someone famous, would there be a four page argument on here about whether I was wonderful for being vegan or terrible for not doing enough for veganism ?

    I imagine the media would do what they normally do - build you up so that you can fall all the further when they knock you down!

    I think you should marry someone famous and see. Is Paul McCartney still single?

    She should stick to talking about her veganism in tv interviews then or expect some reaction. To be fair I think her worst moments in the interviews I have seen have come because she felt pressured by the inequity of the situation with Sir (ugh) Paul and his media mates to say things which were not the truth (and provable as such) in order to try to even the score. Not particularly advisable, but entirely understandable, she must have felt quite scared and outnumbered with all the unjustified vilification.
    I acknowledge her veganism and respect it.
    ..but what would they do with all the cows?..
