Vegetarian Star

There’s nothing worse than finding out your favorite snack isn’t all that vegan or vegetarian because the company has changed the recipe.

Heather Mills was less than pleased after discovering Walkers Crisps added dried milk to its salt and vinegar chips.

During a recent Tweet, Heather said:

“Just got off the train, most disappointed as Walkers salt and vinegar crisps have now added dried milk as an ingredient, yet they want to reduce their carbon footprint.”

“Never mind, eliminate lactose intolerant nibblers as well [as] vegans, does anyone know anyone at Walkers????”

Right on, Heather.

It’s always interesting to learn that companies put such non veg ingredients in seemingly vegetarian items.

Like beef broth in vegetable soup.

C’mon, now.

Do we really need to add animal ingredients to something so pure, delicious and healthy?

When it comes to veg food, manufacturers should follow the KISS policy–Keep It Simple Stupid.

Redwood Foods

The recently acquired by Heather Mills Redwood Wholefood Company has been named UK’s Most Ethical Vegetarian Food Supplier for the 4th year in a row.

Four years a winner?

Must be like the intense pressure of keeping a 4.0 GPA.

The Ethical Company Organization (ECO) lists the maker of vegetarian foods in its latest edition of The Good Shopping Guide, an ethical reference book.

Redwood received a 91% in its Ethical Company Index, which was the highest score received based on the company’s policies and actions towards the environment, human rights, and animal welfare.

“Concern for the environment, human rights and animal welfare has always been at the heart of everything Redwood does,” Heather said. “We pride ourselves in offering the very best in ethical meat-free foods that help people adopt a kinder, more compassionate lifestyle.”

“I’d particularly like to thank the incredibly loyal and conscientious employees at Redwood, who believe passionately in all that they do, for their endless support and enthusiasm, because they have made the company what it is today.”

Linda McCartney Foods and Quorn are other vegetarian brands featured in the guide, but received lower scores than Redwood.

Heather Mills recently opened a V Bites Learning Cafe to children helped by the Hunts Point Alliance for Children.

The video shows the ribbon cutting ceremony as well as a deliciously wicked panorama of vegan food porn.

Here’s what Heather had to say:

“I had a dream about seven years ago to try and come up with a solution to get children to get off the fast food and save more animals, make them more healthy and ultimately save the planet. Unless we start reducing the consumption of meat and dairy there is no future for the children. It’s the biggest contributor to global warming. Hasn’t been acknowledged yet, they’ve acknowledged it as the second biggest contributer, but the consumption of meat and dairy is the biggest contributor to global warming. It will come out in a few years when we get brave enough to say it.”

There are no words to describe how incredible this woman is.

Heather Mills has been named “Person of the Year” by the readers of VegNews magazine.

Heather’s been a busy person, giving her time to the animals and the planet through both charitable and profitable actions.

Heather gave 2009 a little momentum when she started working with Hunts Point Alliance charity and donated over a million dollars of vegan food to impoverished families in the Bronx in 2008.

Continuing to work with the charity in 2009, Heather gave vegan cooking demonstration to the same families.

Then, Heather turned restaurateur, buying and renovating an old fish cafe and turning it into a vegan restaurant, V Bites.

Between managing V Bites and working with Hunts Point, Heather found time to participate in local food festivals and teach how easy it is to cook with veg food.

She acquired Redwood WholeFood Company, a maker of vegetarian cold products, including faux meats and cheeses and launched an eco-friendly clothing line made from recycled materials.

And she still finds time to raise a child who’s already started her activism career.

Great year, Heather.

Here’s to an even greater 2010!

We reported earlier that Heather Mills had opened a U.S. version of her V Bites vegan restaurant and cafe.

He, he, he, just kidding.

Actually, reports on the web were slightly incorrectly and the center in Bronx is the Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC) community gathering space and distribution center.

So while the restaurant isn’t up yet, perhaps there is chatter going on at HPAC headquarters?

HPAC is the charity that Heather used to donate over a million dollars in vegan food to the area last year.

More information on the distribution center can be found here.

Update: V  Bites The Bronx isn’t here yet.

Vegan foodies in the U.S. will be glad to hear that Heather Mills has opened a V Bites restaurant in the Bronx, New York.

This comes just months after the grand opening of V Bites in Hove Lagoon in the UK.

Heather personally was present at the opening yesterday afternoon.

Heather’s no stranger to the area, as she’s worked with a charity of hers, Hunts Point Alliance, serving underprivileged Bronx children and families.

Last year, Heather donated over a million dollars of vegan food to children and families in the Bronx area and has also taught weekend cooking classes.

It was rumored months ago that Heather was looking in the NY area to open her vegan restaurant, but after V Bites in the UK opened its doors, many assumed Heather was done for awhile.

Thank goodness she’s like the vegan Energizer Bunny and shows no signs of stopping.

Heather Mills went back to school!

This month she visited the UCLA campus to talk to students enrolled in Sustainable Product and Service Design (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 188).

Heather discussed her environmental efforts from recycling prosthesis to designing her recycled clothing line to the importance of a vegetarian diet on the environment.

“You can’t be an environmentalist and eat beef,” she said and added that 60% of greenhouse gases come from meat production and dairy farming.

More from ucla.edu:

“As a witness to the health benefits of veganism, Mills called upon her bodyguard Ron Ayala. A carnivore for many years, he was “converted” to veganism, lost 35 pounds and claims to feel much better.”

“Mills also owns an organic food company which has just produced a plant-based omega-three tablet, thereby debunking the commonly held perception that this popular health food can come only from fish.”

“The students listened with rapt attention and peppered Mills with questions after the lecture. Many were interested in details of her diet and how it could be integrated into societies that suffer from poverty or that rely on meat consumption.”

This may have been the best tuition value UCLA students have gotten all year.

Cause you know they’re not getting what they pay for when using the meal card to purchase the mushy dormitory hall spaghetti.

Congrats are in order to Heather Mills and the staff at her recently purchased Redwood Wholefood Company.

Redwood was recognized for creating the Best Ready to Eat Meat Alternatives at a Viva! 15th anniversary dinner party recently.

“I am very proud to accept this award from Viva! representing The Redwood Wholefood Company,” Mills said.

“We pride ourselves in offering the very best in meat-free alternatives and will continue to strive to create foods which guide consumers towards a kinder, more compassionate and low-carbon lifestyle.”

Redwood Wholefoods is based in Corby in the UK and offers a plethora of meat alternatives from beef, chicken, pork and seafood.

Will the employees of Redwood celebrate with a Cheatin’ Roast?
