Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall: High Fibre Heroes

About this episode

Gilly Smith interviews Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall about his advocacy for a high fibre diet and the importance of plant-based eating.

This week we’re with the prince of plants, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and his High Fibre Heroes. Hugh and Gilly have been talking about the national diet for years on this show and before it was even born. They both campaign with the Food Foundation for policy change to make healthier food more accessible for every child in the UK, and Hugh's last book How to Eat 30 Plants a Week was all about adding way more colour and texture to the nation’s plate. Now he’s joined the growing family of fibre authors banging in some beans and plenty of veg for the sake of our health.
