National Racehorse Week needs to be resisted
National Racehorse Week is coming to the UK from 22nd to 31st August, 2026 and it is the perfect reminder why we should be questioning the entire premise of horse racing.
Presented as an opportunity to celebrate these magnificent animals and showcase the world of racing, it is really another glossy PR exercise designed to keep alive the myth that forcing horses to race is noble, thrilling, and somehow good for the animals involved.
It isn’t.
Horse racing is cruel, unnecessary, and built around exploiting vulnerable, sentient animals for human entertainment and profit.

Are vegan restaurants ready for the GLP-1 generation?
I have been thinking a lot about what vegan restaurants and cafés in the UK might need to start doing if they want to keep up with the changing way people eat.
For more than a year, I was very open about using Mounjaro. Mounjaro and other GLP-1 drugs can reduce appetite and make people feel full much sooner. For many people taking them, that means eating smaller portions, being more selective about what they eat, and thinking much more carefully about getting enough nutrition from a relatively small amount of food.
That was certainly my experience.

Popcorn and Nutritional Yeast
I have loved popcorn for as long as I can remember.
When I was a teenager growing up in Australia, I would sometimes head to a city centre cinema with one goal in mind. I wasn’t going to watch a film or meeting friends. I was going to the cinema to buy a giant tub of popcorn.
I would buy a jumbo box and then wander around the city streets happily munching away.
That was a time when cinema popcorn didn’t cost the same as a small mortgage. Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, buying a huge serving of popcorn felt like a treat that didn’t completely empty your wallet.
Fast forward quite a few decades and not much has changed. Well, apart from the price of cinema popcorn.
I still absolutely adore the stuff.
These days I tend to make it at home at least once a week. Freshly popped corn, still warm from the pan, is one of my all-time favourite snacks. My go-to seasoning is a generous sprinkle of ground nutritional yeast mixed with a little salt.
So you can imagine my excitement when I was browsing Planet Organic today and spotted a ready-made popcorn flavoured with Marigold nutritional yeast.
