Currently, flexitarians account for one in eight (12%) of the British public (8% of men and 15% of women), while 6% say they are strictly vegetarian. Pescatarians account for 3% of the population, while 2% of Brits say they follow a vegan diet and lifestyle. Plant-based diets more popular among younger generations Plant-based diets are more popular among younger generations. Only 53% of 18 to 24-year-old Britons describe themselves as meat eaters compared to 77% of those aged 45 and over. One in nine of those aged 18 to 24 (11%) consider themselves vegetarian and do not eat any meat, including poultry, fish or shellfish. This number is more than double the share of those aged 55 and over who say they are vegetarians (4%). How many Brits are vegan? A vegan diet that has become more popular in recent years does not include dairy, eggs, fish mean or any other animal product. According to data from YouGov, only 2% of Brits describe their diet as 100% vegan. However, a further 3% say they will likely join the Veganuary campaign and take up a challenge to follow a strictly vegan diet and lifestyle throughout the month of January. The younger generation is more interested in doing so, with one in eight Britons aged 18 to 24 who aren’t vegans yet (12%) saying they’ll try a vegan lifestyle in January compared to just 1-4% of the older generations. People should reduce meat consumption Doctors and nutrition experts advise people to reduce eating meat for health reasons. Scientific and medical evidence confirms that consumption of red meat and all kinds of processed meats can lead to an increased risk of numerous diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In 2021 the Climate Change Committee and UK governments advised that people should reduce meat-eating also for environmental reasons. Animal farming and the meat industry are responsible for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.

As we are approaching the Christmas holiday season, perhaps it's time to consider adding some spices to your drinks. A nice cup of chai latte or a glass of mulled wine is the perfect pairing with sofa time or fireplace in the evening. What is mulled wine? Mulled wine is sweet, warmed red wine mixed with winter spices such as cloves, cinnamon, and citrus fruit peel. There is a mulled wine tradition in nearly every European country where it's particularly popular during Christmas time when the nights are the longest. This is when people like to gather on Christmas markets and enjoy a cup of this warming drink while outside watching festive decorations and enjoying Christmas songs and special treats. Mulled wine goes by many names, like glögg in Scandinavia, gluhwein in Germany and Austria, vin chaud in France, and grzane wino in Poland. These days you can buy it in many supermarkets, but it is also easy to make at home. What do you need to make mulled wine at home? When making mulled wine at home, you need to prepare a large pot and a bottle of some good wine. The wine should be fruity, slightly sweet and not too dry. You can also add some extra vermouth - which will add some bitter-sweetness. The essential ingredients are the Christmas spices, so your mulled wine is intense in flavour. What spices do you add to mulled wine? To make delicious mulled wine at home, you need: dried lemon zest, dried orange zest, cloves, Ceylon cinnamon sticks, dried ginger, brown sugar, star anise, whole allspice.
