Heather Mills’ vegan restaurant dreams dashed

Heather MillsHeather Mills, the estranged wife of former Bealte Sir Paul McCartney, has reportedly hit a financial stumbling block over her plans to set up a chain of vegan restaurants.

The former model, dubbed Mucca by British red-tops due to her porn past, does not have the cash to launch the chain herself and is trying to convince potential investors into backing her project.

"Heather has had an intimate dinner with members of a well known corporate bank to try to secure funding," a source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

"Until her divorce is finalized she needs financial backing."

In November this year, Mills - who is currently being threatened with legal action by law firm Mishcon de Reya over £3million of bills accrued during her divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney, hit the headlines during one of her vegan awareness campaigns when she told the public; "Why don't we drink milk from rats and dogs?"

Mills lectured onlookers at Speaker's Corner in London's Hyde Park about the pros of becoming a vegan.

She insisted that livestock created far more carbon emissions than transport, so we should go vegan - someone who eats no meat or dairy produce - or at least find something else to put in tea or coffee.

She said: "There are many other kinds of milk available. Why don't we try drinking rats' milk and dogs' milk?"
