Ep116. Why we all need to ditch dairy, with Jodie Barchha Lang


Listen Later

We're back to one, action-packed episode a week, kicking off with our vegan news and reviews followed by an exclusive weekly interview!

Today we discuss which burgers taste the best (and the shocking fat content of some of them!), what foods vegan racing driver Lewis Hamilton loves to eat and give you a sneak preview of some of the supermarket Christmas ranges (sorry). We also review the ever-expanding Sheese cheese range, brand new snacks from Higgidy and BBQ-worthy marshmallows from Freedom.

The interview: Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress Jodie Barchha Lang was vegetarian for a long time, believing she was doing her best for the animals, but then she developed PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and was advised to give up dairy. In today's episode, Jodie shares the journey and discoveries which led her to go vegan, how ditching dairy transformed her health, and her plight to help animals rescued by sanctuaries.

She discusses her new illustrated children's book, Nero The Brave Little Bull, based on the true story of a bull rescued from an ill fate after a spell at a petting farm. Jodie also talks about her work in schools to educate and inspire the younger generation – one glass of oat milk at a time.
