Martin Freeman reveals he has given up vegetarianism after 38 years

Martin Freeman has revealed he has given up being a vegetarian after 38 years because meat replacement products are 'very, very processed'.

While eating an Italian bolognese on the Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and professional chef Angela Hartnett, he said: 'I've now, I've come off being a vegetarian. I started being a vegetarian in like January 1986. 'I think in the last several months, it's really new going back to being an omnivore, just sort of eating what I like.

Study co-author, Dr Sumanto Haldar, a lecturer in nutrition science at Bournemouth University, said: 'At present, producing these plant-based meat alternatives often involves a substantial amount of processing. 'This gives an impetus for the food industry to re-evaluate the development of the next generation of meat alternative products, so that they not only taste good, but also have improved nutritional attributes and are more affordable for the entire population.'

• Eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.

'These findings suggest that despite the well-documented health benefits of traditional plant based diets, their health benefits should not be conflated with plant based meat diets', researchers added. Researchers analysed daily food intakes of 19,812 meat eaters, 646 pesco-veggies, 500 vegetarians, and 254 vegans.Advertisement HOBSON'S VERDICT: The plant burger is a little higher in energy, but both offer a good source of protein.

Like many UPF vegan foods, the ingredient list is much longer than the meat version and contains more additives required to create the right texture. I think there are pros and cons for both these products but personally, I would tend to steer clear of processed meat in this case.HOBSON'S VERDICT: There is little difference between these two versions of a chicken and mushroom pie.
