Description
Activist, charity and businesswoman Heather Mills grew up on a typical Northern diet of sausage and mash, but after losing her leg in an accident, she was desperate to recover. In this fascinating interview, she explains how she healed herself with wheatgrass, smoothies and a raw vegan diet and how veganism ultimately saved her leg – and her life.Heather discusses the different routes to veganism, the role of fake meat within that and how she's grown V-Bites to be the world's largest manufacturer of plant-based meat and cheese. We also cover idealism versus realism, the importance of listening to your body and why she currently follows a FODMAP diet. Finally, we chat about her solution-focused approach which came from difficult childhood, why she's been called a 'nutter' for pointing out the truth and the importance of doing what's right in the face of adversity. Heather also shares insights into her work with the government and in war zones, including Ukraine. Music by Purple Planet
