Charlie Goes Vegan

What have I let myself in for ?!  The very lovely Karin Ridgers came in on Monday's show to talk about veganism (i didn't know that was a real word, it is!)... We talked about the benefits of being a vegan, what you can eat, how easy it is to buy suitable food - and of course, she name-dropped lots of celebrities who are vegans.

Being a vegan, according to research, has been credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer, heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stroke.  Karin also says that it can also boost your sex-life...

Not just for that last reason, I've decided to become a vegan for 3 months - quite a challenge, I think.  So, this morning, I'm going to the shops to get some soy milk and try to find something suitable to each for lunch instead of the southern chicken tortilla wrap that I usually have ;-(

Karin will be popping in regularly with advice, tips and comments on my progress - plus, she'll be taking some of your questions live on air... We had a big response from you after Monday's show, and I'd be nice to talk more about it... So at some point next week, Karin will be on-air taking your questions.
