Heather Mills Gives Soy to SoBro

Everyone's least favorite Paul McCartney ex, Heather Mills, is trying to earn points by doing some good...and right here in New York, no less (where she resides part-time). NYMag reports that after cashing in on her divorce with the Beatle to the tune of $50 million, she is now donating $1 million in vegetarian food products to the children of Hunts Point (Mills is a honorary chairperson of the Hunts Point Alliance for Children). The South Bronx neighborhood, where more than half the population is below poverty level, will now be stocked up with soy products from the vegan--and she'll be on hand tomorrow, grilling up some of the goods, at a ceremony with Congressman José Serrano.

Vegetarians are easy to spot,

Their fitness can't be outdone

Plus they do not stand up straight--

They always bend toward the sun

Wza

#3 Amen.

Generous donation, poor selection of food. The surplus might be around for long time. Beans I could see, but tofu? How about fresh produce?

Carnivore here.

Don't know a thing about her.

If she wants to give USD$1M for food for some kids, fine with me. If it's vegan soy, fine with me, better than the Deluxe McD's breakfast (1300+ cals) their obese welfare mommas give the fat little buggers. If the phytoestrogens in that soy shrinks their 'nads & cuts down on the non-productive reproductive rate, fine with me.

and, #17, I prefer a free-range organic Kobe vegan, sliced thin or tartar, with a wheaty Belgian ale.

If the USA runs out of food and we are resorted to cannibalism, guess which group of people gets eaten first? Yep, vegans!!

Time for a nice juicy hamburger, assholes!

Nice tits though, but bad teeth.

Is it me or does evey vegan have the same shitty / smug smartass thing going? Like they are a step above, meanwhile they are a step down on the food chain.

It isn't you.

Rak87nyc

How are we supposed to save the environment by eating all the plants instead of the animals that eat plants?

aspiringrapper

Can't they get a lot more White Castle sliders for that kind of cash?

Barbj8

Do you realize how much tofu products you can buy for a million bucks? South Bronx families will have a tofurkey in every pot! Tofu makes me gag.

Dear Gothamist,

Unless you are trying to make fun of the real estate market, don't ever use the term SoBro to describe the south Bronx ever again.

Thanks,
