Dispelling the myth that veganism is white and elitist, with Sarah Bentley

Vegan news and reviews: Holly and Molly discuss their progress with this month's Whole Food Plant Based Challenge, and the news that 1,000s of pigs are likely to be culled following a national shortage of meat workers. They also chat about a new study which has revealed that meat-eaters replacing just five meals a week with plant-based meat alternatives experience improved gut health. Their reviews this week include the new English Cheesecake Company flavours at Waitrose and vegan-friendly, low waste cleaning products from Bide.Listener questions this week include "How fast should I switch my diet" and discussions about oil-free cooking. The interview: Sarah Bentley is founder of Made in Hackney, working with communities to promote healthy plant-based cooking. She discusses food inequality, cooking on a budget, growing your own veg with minimal space and the online cookery courses covering everything from Caribbean food to cheese making. Next week: The Simply Vegan Podcast turns 1! Look out for our special episode with all the best bits from the past year. Holly will also be chatting to best-selling author and queen of fast, affordable cooking Katy Beskow AKA 'The 15-minute vegan'.  This week's episode is sponsored by White Rabbit – the makers of delicious Italian food that everyone can enjoy. They’ve just launched their brand new range of frozen Vegan Margherita, Sizzlin’ Jackfruit and Garlicky Mushroom pizzas that are 100% plant based, gluten free and delicious into Sainsbury’s and Co-op stores.
