Nigella Lawson – whose show, Simply Nigella, airs today (Saturday, May 4) – once admitted she turned vegan – but she only lasted two weeks.
The famed cook, 64, revealed she had tried to adopt a plant-based diet but ended up feeling “very run down” and gave it up pretty soon.
Speaking to the Sunday Times back in 2021, she said: “I couldn’t be vegan, though I do love vegetables. I don’t see the point. I felt very run down, and I’m low iron anyway. So I needed it.”
She added that the heavily processed meat replacements are not to her liking.
“I want to eat proper food,” Nigella said. “Because I feel that we have the teeth for meat and so it’s natural for us to want to eat it.
“I know it’s an argument that vegans disagree with, so I respect that position, but I feel I’m not ready.”
It’s not the first controversial opinion the TV chef has shared.
