Heather Mills believes ice cream should be made from human breast milk.
The 40-year-old former model is backing a campaign by PETA to make dessert company Ben and Jerry's replace cows' milk with the controversial substitute to lessen the suffering of animals on factory farms and improve people's health.
Tracy Reiman, PETA executive vice president, explained: "PETA's request comes after reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting it for 75 per cent of the cows' milk in the food that he serves.
"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense.
"So Ben and Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favour by making the switch to breast milk."
Heather has previously urged people to drink rats' milk to save the planet.
The outspoken vegan campaigner said: "Why don't we drink rats' milk, cats' milk or dogs' milk? The startling truth is that animals farmed for meat and dairy are now one of the greatest threats to the planet.

Cows don't just give milk, and "need to be milked if they don't have a calf"... cows are bred on purpose, and then their calves are taken away so that... READ MORE

Any farmer also knows that if you don't breed a cow it won't produce milk.
