Originally, everyone knew Melanie ate meat - we've seen her munch away on stuff like chicken
in the clips on their videos (no, not those videos, the other ones :-). But then, during an
interview recorded a few days prior to broadcast on August 10th, she made what seemed like
a throwaway comment "I don't eat meat..." during a question to them all about food. OK, fine, we know she's a bit of a fitness enthusiast, looking after her body, and since there are some arguments that a vegetarian diet promotes a healthy body, it didn't seem such a leap of faith to assume that, over the past year or so, she'd decided to go vegetarian. And then, on September 19th, came what seemed like confirmation of this change. It was reported that both Melanie and Victoria had decided to give up meat after Paul McCartney asked people to "go veggie" in tribute to his late wife Linda, who spent much of her life campaigning for animal rights. Fine, that's the end of that, we thought... Only then, 3 days later on the 21st, it was reported that this story was not entirely true. The Spice PR officer stated that "The girls are healthy eaters, but are not 100% vegetarian. They were sent copies of Linda's cookbooks. I think this story has come from the McCartney people." So there we go. And when the media decides to change its mind again, you'll read about it here :-) |
