Plant-based Meats

Available for over a year

In recent years our supermarket shelves have undergone a transformation. Sections once devoted solely to meat and animal products have been partitioned to include a new plant-based category, with everything from spins on classics like tofu and seitan, to modern products like Quorn and the lab-designed Impossible and Beyond burgers. In this episode of All Consuming, Charlotte Williams gives you something to chew on in a surprisingly meaty topic - examining the plant-based product revolution and its potential environmental benefits, and finding out if “vegan” is a dirty word. Charlotte meets author and entrepreneur Thomasina Miers to discuss dialling back on our high-carbon diets, checks in with vegan-accredited farmer Laurence Candy, learns about the health and environmental benefits of plant-based alternatives from Dr Chris Bryant, and breaks bread with vegan YouTube superstar Gaz Oakley.
