Women & VegetarianismThursday 14 November 2002
Celebrities like Madonna, Lulu and Julia Sawalha were once proud to call themselves veggies. Yet they are now said to be back eating meat - and they're not alone.

A recent survey found that one fifth of vegetarians have returned to eating meat or fish in the last two years and that women are leading the change.
So why are many of us going back to the bacon butties we once disdained? Sheila talks to Tina Fox, from the Vegetarian Society and Colin Spencer author of a new book, British Food, An Extraordinary Thousand Years of History.
