The lovely Lady McCartney, in the news for her split from some singer, has added milk to her list of causes. Apparently, dairy products are not good for us.
She is fronting a new White Lies campaign to be launched on May 24th that basically says that dairy products are now to be added to the list of banned foods. Pardon me as I refrain from swearing and wondering exactly what we will be left with (spinach and rain water I expect, although even water is looking dodgy what with the drought in the south east of England). The Dairy Council, naturally, also disagrees, pointing out that no seals are culled during milking.
I can't locate a website for this campaign, but according to Veggies.org, "On May 24th, The Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation is launching a groundbreaking campaign, White Lies, on the enormous health consequences of consuming dairy products. On the same day, the VVF is holding a public talk – 'Why You Don't Need Dairy' – with fantastic guest speakers: Heather Mills McCartney, Professor T. Colin Campbell, Juliet Gellatley, Dr Justine Butler and Professor Jane Plant CBE."
Tickets cost £5.
