BBC World Service - Discovery, Plant based promises, diet and health

Giles learns to cook a plant based Thai green curry.

Giles learns to cook a plant based Thai green curry and asks how his diet could be more flexitarian. How healthy is it and what role can plant based animal alternatives play?

Giles Yeo learns how to make a Thai green curry with Meera Sodha. This is a recipe without meat or prawns but with tofu and lots of vegetables. If we need to eat less meat and dairy to help prevent global warming- what difference will altering our diets make to our health. For a long time now people have been urged to cut down on red meat and processed foods but if you have been eating them all your life it takes an effort to develop new habits. Plant based products that can replace for example dairy milks, cheeses, sausages, burgers and meat based dishes such as lasagne can be helpful in making this transition but are they healthier?
