Pat Thomas (born 1959 in California) is an author, journalist and campaigner specialising in the field of environment and health.
Under her direction the campaign took McCartney to a special plenary session of the European Parliament to speak about the health and environmental benefits of reducing the amount of meat in the typical Western diet.
The campaign aimed to stop the UK's first mega-dairy in the village of Nocton, Lincolnshire, where a planned 8000 high-yielding cows would be reared indoors, on the grounds of risks to animal welfare and the local environment.
Nocton Dairies withdrew its plans in February 2011 after overwhelming objections from campaigners, the public, local authorities and the UK's Environment Agency.
[6] In 2011, she became involved in sustainability and web-based projects for Neal's Yard Remedies, one of the UK's leading organic health and beauty companies.
Her books have been translated into multiple languages including Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Dutch and Turkish.
