You may remember a few weeks ago I got to chat with Ben Fogle about all things flexitarianism.Ben had been filming a short video for Quorn with Duncan Williamson, WWF UK’s Food Policy Manager. Here I got the exciting chance to catch up with Ben for a chat, and I’m really pleased to say the final video is now ready. And as well as sharing the video, I’ve got a delicious vegan lime and coconut curry, made using vegan Quorn pieces to share with you.

Next add the vegetable stock, lime juice, fresh coriander and chilli flakes and bring to a boil, before allowing the ingredients to simmer for 5 minutes.

Ben Fogle Meets Duncan Willamson From WWF UK
Now on to the video, where Ben and Duncan discussthe impact of our modern, meat-eating diets on the planet and how meat reduction could be healthier for us and for the environment.
I always find it’s food for thought to find that switching to one or two meat-free meals a week could significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Duncan points out that food production is responsible for 69% of water usage. In fact, Quorn’s research has found that one quarter pounder burger requires 2,800 litres of water. That’s 11,200 cups of tea or 45 personal showers! So even more reason to try and go meat-free once or twice a week.
I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a really interesting and thought-provoking watch:
As I alluded to in the first post, I’m a huge fan of Quorn. I found it invaluable in my transition from firstly meat-eater to flexitarian, and then from flexitarian to vegetarian.
Whilst I’ve been vegetarian for 12 years, right now I am trying to incorporate a more vegan diet into my life.I don’t know if I will ever be 100% vegan, but reducing my consumption of dairy where I can is something I am definitely on board with.
Whilst a lot of Quorn products do contain small amounts of egg white or milk ingredients, thankfully Quorn has developed a great vegan range. This includes my beloved Fishless Fingers. The vegan range is expanding all the time, and you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy it!
Enjoy!
