       A NOTE FROM HENRY

      You’ll have come to this book because you are ready to make a change. My journey to veganism started at a pretty tough time in my life.

      At my lowest point, I was running a company that had raised millions of pounds, but I wasn’t happy. My silicon dream had become a silicon nightmare. Around then, I took a trip to Japan to try to gain some clarity, and while I was there, I realised I needed to change my focus to make my mind healthy again. I rediscovered meditation, reading, exercise and a work–life balance. On returning to the UK, I took the decision to act more responsibly with regards to my personal health, and to find a meaningful purpose to my life. I wanted to use my skills to help the planet and, specifically, to help stop climate change in whatever way I could.

      At the time, I was working with a close friend of mine, Ian. He went through all those dark times at work with me, and we not only worked together but also shared a house. Then one day he went vegan. I thought it was ridiculous. I made fun of him all the time. I was that guy. I had a freezer full of high-welfare meat and a personal trainer that had me on a high-fat ketogenic diet. I wasn’t going to eat his dubious-looking curries.

      Then I watched a documentary – Cowspiracy – that changed everything. I went vegan overnight. With the help of some friends, Ian and I set up our video channel, BOSH.TV, to show the world how to cook plant-based meals that meat eaters would love, and before long we’d had a billion views and were two-time Sunday Times bestselling authors.

      Now we are regularly called upon to talk about vegan food on TV, radio and at live events. And we love to share what we know and how we feel. But we think it’s also important to recognise that we each have our own opinions, patterns and issues.

      To us, eating vegan food is the proverbial plaster that we can personally stick on the broken planet to help it heal. But we know it’s not that black and white. My dad was the first to let me know that flying to America a couple of times a year can generate as much carbon as being vegan can save. His choice to eat just a bit of meat every now and again, combined with his love of seasonal and locally grown vegetables, and a lifestyle which involves very little air travel, is an environmentally friendly choice that works for him.

      But however we look at it, the way most of us are eating now СКАЧАТЬ
