Phillip Schofield, 57, was joined by his This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby for the show’s mid-week programme and they welcomed vegan restaurant owner Lucy Watson and farmer Abi Reader to debate the new Tesco advert. With the latter expressing discomfort for the way the advertisement was worded, the former Made In Chelsea star moved onto the ethics of meat products, leading the ITV presenter to step in.

The latest advert from Tesco to promote meat-free alternatives sees a young girl arrive home from school and tell her father, “I don’t want to eat animals any more.”

Although the character admits “I love my meat,” he goes on to prepare a casserole for his daughter with the inclusion of Tesco’s Plant Chef Meat-Free Cumberland-style Sausages.

It has left viewers divided over turning a beef product into a meat-free alternative, with both guests on the show offering opposing opinions.

Feeling strongly about the ethics on how meat products are created, Lucy expressed her views with Phillip interjecting to try and balance the debate.

Explaining her concerns over the meat industry and why the advert is a good thing, the guest said: “I think it gives children an inset perception of meat because I feel a lot of children are brought up not actually knowing what they’re eating.

“I didn’t know what I was eating for a long time.

“It was only because I moved to a farm and I realised the animals were going off to be killed, I then put two and two together, not even then being told I was eating animals.

“We’re taught as children to love animals and to care for them.”

“And most children do love animals and if they knew they were getting brutally slaughtered to eat, I think they’d be quite shocked,” she continued.

Stepping in, Phillip told her: “I think many farmers, obviously this is a very contentious issue, using the word “brutal” …”

As he tried to continue, Lucy said over the top of him: “They have their throats slit,” to which the presenter argued the opposing view.

“That’s not necessarily the common practice,” Phillip commented, to which the guest strongly disagreed as he told him: “It is common practice.”

Phillip continued: “They’re dead first,” with Lucy once agin expressing her opposing view to the issue.

The host cut the discussion on the matter to get back to the debate about the advert, telling the vegan restaurant owner: “We can’t get into a conversation about the techniques here.”

Although she was shut down, Lucy agreed with the host the debate was focussed on the advert.

Lucy questioned Abi earlier in the interview about how the cattle are handled, asking: ‘Is it true about 70 percent of the farms in the UK are actually factory farms which everyone knows is extremely cruel?”

The farmer replied: “No, I’ve not heard that statistic. I am one of your average farmers. I’m not a factory farm.

“What is the definition of a factory farm?” she asked the vegan campaigner.

Restaurant owner Lucy said: “Well, when they’re enclosed in horrendous conditions and don’t see the light of day for their whole lives.”

Abi assured her fellow guest, telling her: “I would be amazed if there were many farms in the UK that did not see the light of day.”

This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.

  • 2019 has been called “the year of the vegan” by The Economist.
  • With an increasing interest in the vegan lifestyle, brands are offering more vegan options to appease their customers.
  • While finding vegan fashion might not be as easy as finding vegan food, it’s possible — and there are lots of great options out there. 
  • Here are 9 great winter boot options that also happen to be vegan. 

In a recent article that dubbed 2019 as “the year of the vegan,” Economist correspondent John Parker examined the soaring interest in the vegan lifestyle of late, and how it’s impacting multiple industries. A quarter of Millenials today identify as vegan or vegetarian, and companies are working to reach these consumers by accommodating their needs.

In response to people cutting meat out of their diets, McDonald’s has created a McVegan burger. Brands like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are making plant-based meat substitutes that actually look, feel, and even “bleed” like the real thing. Even Tyson, the largest meat processor in the U.S., is getting in on the plant-based protein trend. 

But, at its core, veganism is more than just a diet. It’s also a system of values that is causing more and more people to consider how other products they use — think clothing, home goods, and accessories — are made. Vegan labels have become prolific in grocery stores and on the boxes of your favorite snacks, but there’s less transparency when shopping for clothing and accessories, making the process a little more difficult.

There are plenty of brands making chic, stylish clothing and accessories that also happen to be cruelty-free. And, plenty of your favorite existing brands have started added vegan options to their offerings. To make it easier for you, we rounded up 9 great pairs boots that are perfect for winter and also happen to be vegan. Whether you’re vegan or not, we think you’ll love — and really want to wear — one of these pairs.

Keep reading for 9 pairs of vegan winter boots:

Women’s Ilse Jacobsen Short Rain Boot

Nordstrom

Ilse Jacobsen ‘RUB 47’ Short Waterproof Rain Boot, available at Nordstrom, $ 218.95

Finding a replacement for warm, shearling-lined boots may prove a little difficult when you’re shopping vegan. These rainboots are a good option. They’re made with natural rubber from renewable resources (bonus points for sustainability) and lined with a soft fleece to keep your toes toasty on cold days. The thick sole is slip-resistant and adds some insulation between your feet and the cold ground. With a combination of waterproof rubber and a soft, cozy lining, you’re set for cold, snowy days. 

Men’s Sorel Short Canvas Duck Boot

Zappos

Sorel Cheyanne II Short Canvas (2 colors), available at Zappos, $ 97.50

A comfortable yet durable pair of boots isa winter necessity. Many duck boots have a leather upper, but this pair opts for canvas instead. While not advertised as vegan, these are simply made with canvas and rubber. The entire boot is seriously waterproof, even the seams are sealed to keep out rain, so you can be sure your feet will be kept dry no matter the conditions.

Women’s Dr. Marten’s Vegan Chrome Boot

Urban Outfitters

Dr. Martens 1460 Vegan Chrome Boot (Dark Grey), available at Urban Outfitters, $ 120

Classic Dr. Martens get a vegan twist. This version of the 1460, the original Dr. Martens boot, is made with 100% vegan leather and finished with a chrome gloss. Everything else is the same — the lace up front, yellow stitching, signature heel loop, and air-cushioned sole have all stayed true to the original.

Traces of a sixpack had become visible. It was my first time I’d ever seen them. Ever.Since that moment on, my friends asked me jealously over and over again: “How did you do it?”I thanked them all. But they wouldn’t understand. Weight loss is simple, but not easy.

How I started the vegan bodybuilding diet

It was in the beginning of 2015 that I’d made the scary decision to stop eating animal products and started the vegan bodybuilding diet. I was a meat-head before.Poultry and rice in a tupperware was the only thing that I’d known. Readily packaged in my lunch box every morning before I left the house. While I did gain muscles with that diet I’ve felt unfulfilled. I had a lethargic attitude, with little energy.– “Is this what my life is going to be like?” I’d started to ask myself.I didn’t feel I could reach any destination with the little drive and constant fatigue that I had. People called me “Aschess” way back in high school. It’s the swiss-german word for having no drive. No interest. No direction.I didn’t have any direction. Nor did I feel I wanted to.Only later did I realize that it could all be linked to my eating habits. I was eating poison, not fuel. In hindsight, I was a monkey.

The pleasure-chasing money

Farmers and hunters in third world countries have been catching monkeys for centuries. The way they do it is by setting up a trap. A container, filled with fruits.The container contains two holes, one on the top, one on the bottom. The hole on the top is not big enough to get the food out, the fruits get sneaked in from the bottom by the trap-setters.Then they wait. Every once in a while a monkey approaches and tries desperately to retrieve the fruit through the top-hole. The farmers or hunters slowly move in but the monkey can’t let go of the fruit. It got competing demands.The monkey wants to keep the fruit more than it wants to keep its freedom. At the moment of life or death, it couldn’t let go of the enticing promise.If the monkey just surrendered what it was holding onto, it would be living a free life. At the sight of the dangerous humans, it could have dropped the food, pull out his limbs and flee the scene. Yet it didn’t. It couldn’t.Monkeys get caught with pleasure traps.Little did I know that I was also caught in a pleasure trap set up by the food industry.

Pleasure vs Motivation

I am not a big fan of Sigmund Freud and his theories. Yet what I agree with him on is that every human being deals with competing interests.At 2am in the morning, we decide that we want to better our life in an instant. The next day we catch ourselves scrolling mindlessly through Facebook.This phenomena can be explained by the motivational triad. Living beings are motivated by three things:

  1. Pleasure seeking
  2. Pain avoidance
  3. Energy conservation

These 3 motivators are omnipresent. We want to get in better shape because we seek the envious stares of our friends at the beach – we seek pleasure. Or because we hate seeing an unhealthy number on the weighing scale – pain avoidance.But probably one of the strongest motivators is energy conservation. We want to spend as little energy as we possibly can.If we expended energy like no tomorrow, we would’ve not be able to survive in scarce times.

Are you eating fuel or poison?

Our food choices are based on the motivational triad. We seek energy-dense, easy to eat food that give us maximum mouth pleasure. That’s why Nutella is so popular all around the world.Nutella is a snack, carefully formulated to appeal to our innate pleasure seeking and energy conservation factors. It’s perfectly manufactured to make us addictive.If we want to live healthy, lose weight and keep hunger at bay while eating plant-based, we have to eat fuel, not poison.

Eat fuel: The 3 distinctive factors

Filter your foods through these 3 filters and they will help you keep hunger at bay and lose weight. This helps you avoid the pleasure trap.

Filter #1: It’s vegan.

“First, nutrition is the master key to human health. Second, what most of us think of as proper nutrition—isn’t.” — Dr. Colin Campbell

If there’s one thing we have to realize, it’s that meat and dairy is not a super package.There is not a single gram of fiber to be found in animal products. Fiber helps us feel satiated and feeds our healthy gut microbiome. Also plant-based foods have up to 33 times more antioxidans than animal products.((Nutrition Journal: The total antioxidant content of more than 3100 foods, beverages, spices, herbs and supplements used worldwide))

Filter #2: It’s unprocessed.

Mother Nature’s powers cannot be stuffed into a pill. — Dr. Michael Greger, MD

The food is not fancy packaged. Most of the best food choices can be found in the produce isle.In processed foods we can often find added salt, sugar and other artifical sweeteners. Processed foods (even when vegan) also often contain less fiber. For example brown rice is to be preferred over white rice, because white rice is a processed product. It’s fiber content is greatly diminished.I have seen great results just by switching white rice with brown rice in my clients’ diets.

Filter #3: It’s solid.

All our calories should always come in solid form. This increases our satiety and is way more healthy.We should minimize our soda intake. Eliminating soda and smoothies out of our diets, for weight loss, can dramatically increase our progress.

What to eat in a day

This is a sample meal plan of how your day could look like. This meal plan is not meant to be followed 1:1. Pick what works for you and disregard what doesn’t.This day is taken out from my popular article:7-Day Vegan Diet Plan: Eat Healthy with Under 2,000 Calories per DayTotal stats of this plan is:1872 calories, 244g carbs (61%), 71g fat (18%), 85g protein (21%), 59g fiberFor the average women (5’4”, 126 pounds, moderately active, age: 26-45), this is a calorie deficit of about 100 calories.For the average men (5’10”, 154 pounds, moderately active, age: 26-45), this is a calorie deficit of about 700.((CNPP: Estimated Calorie Needs per Day by Age, Gender, and Physical Activity Level.))The goal deficit for sustainable weight loss is about 300 calories. For the most effective results, the average women should therefore eat a little bit less (minimize the nuts). And the average men should eat a little bit more (add handful of nuts and berries throughout the day).

Conclusion

We humans are caught up in pleasure traps in our dietary decisions. Too often we eat food that is silently poisoning us. It’s time to stop being a monkey.We need to fuel our precious engine instead of clogging it. Spare parts are few and there’s a waiting list. Repairing costs are expensive, especially in countries with no health coverage.Therefore we should pay special attention to where our food comes from, it’s level of manufacturing and consistency of substance.This way, we’re not only fueling our body, we’re also paving our way to our best shape ever.

Case in point: I’ve been offered intestines as the vegetarian option on two separate occasions. So I was both astonished and curious when a friend in La Paz suggested dinner at a new restaurant where the food is entirely vegan.

But not only are the dishes at Ali Pacha 100 percent plant-based — they’re also kept a surprise right up until they arrive at your table. And there are just three choices on the menu: three, five or seven courses. That’s all. It should be like going to the theater, our waitress explains: Everybody gets the same experience, and nobody knows quite what to expect. It’s a masterful touch, prompting all conversation to turn to the food on our plates. Amazed, we ask each other how they made the sauce, and who would have thought of preparing beans that way?

In keeping with the restaurant’s secret menu, I won’t disclose exactly what we were served. But to give you an idea, a recent snack menu for a government event included a sourdough bruschetta with “mozzarella” made from quinoa milk, yuca starch and lemon; roasted, three-day aged beetroot; and tomatoes kept in oil with garlic and thyme until they “practically disintegrate.”

The idea of keeping the menu a secret came about when Quiroga had to find ways of enticing suspicious carnivores through the doors.

What’s striking about many of Ali Pacha’s ingredients is how ordinary they are. It isn’t about exotic ingredients; it’s about taking vegetables sold at any market stall and reimagining them. Broad beans, beetroot and tomatoes are prepared in creative and sometimes unimaginable ways. The beetroot dish we’re served features not only the flesh, but also the peel, charred and incorporated into the meal. Sustainability is an important part of the restaurant’s ethos, according to founder and executive chef Sebastian Quiroga, and that includes keeping waste to a minimum.

Quiroga cut his teeth at the London Cordon Bleu. After a stint at renowned La Paz restaurant Gustu, he headed to Copenhagen, where he was inspired by the culinary craftsmanship of high-end restaurants like Relæ. “There, the vegetable was the protagonist,” he says. Quiroga returned to La Paz in late 2014 to start his own restaurant, and Ali Pacha opened its doors in March 2016.

Formerly a voracious carnivore, Quiroga decided to switch to veganism after seeing the animal rights documentary Earthlings. His astounded friends and family would tease him, asking: “What are you going to eat? Barbecued lettuce?”

The idea of keeping the menu a secret came about when Quiroga had to find ways of enticing suspicious carnivores through the doors. He even promised some early guests that if they didn’t like the food, they would eat for free. “The method of revealing the dishes the moment people are at the table means they appreciate what we do,” he says.

Dsc2674

The only downside to the secret-menu approach is that some dishes may not be to everyone’s tastes. Our dessert included peanuts, which my partner dislikes with such intensity he wishes he were allergic so he’d have an excuse to avoid them (Ali Pacha accommodates those with allergies — just disclose them when booking).

Peanuts notwithstanding, we left with full stomachs.

Go There: Ali Pacha

  • Location: Centrally located at Calle Colón, No. 1306, La Paz (map).
  • Cost: Food ranges from 100 bolivianos ($ 14.20) for the three-course meal to 200 bolivianos for the seven-course option — not cheap for Bolivia, but comparable with high-end restaurants like Gustu.
  • Pro tip: It’s a good idea to reserve in advance at +591 (2) 2202366 or info@alipacha.com.
