I was scrolling recently when I saw a headline that made my heart sink a little. Another vegan food outlet shutting its doors. Not just any outlet either, but Neat Burger, the high-profile chain backed by none other than Lewis Hamilton.
It’s not a great feeling seeing a business dedicated to plant-based food disappear from our streets, but I remain hopeful and don’t see this a failing of veganism.

I know you are used to coming to me for information. Where to eat. What to be outraged about. Why you should give a sh!t about stuff.
But I’m flipping the script today and I’m asking for your help.

I was catching up with friends a few days ago in a Soho pub when I was asked a peculiar question.
It was a pleasant but not particularly unique West End pub and everyone around the table was friendly. It was a good time with laughter and socialising. Not unlike hundreds or thousands of social situations I’ve experienced.
And then I was asked by a non-vegan, “If you found out you only had a year to live, would you eat meat for the final year of your life?”.
How did I react? Keep reading below to find out.
The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) is a jam packed conversation with topics swinging wildly all over the place!
Josh and I chat about taking supplements as a vegan and debate if they do anything or if it all just a scam. This includes a somewhat factual discussion on lanolin and why it isn’t suitable for vegans.
We also chat about the performances we saw from Coachella 2025 and the concept of TV show Glee being cursed.

I’ve just realised something both hilarious and heartwarming.
My first ever Instagram post was made all the way back on 27 May, 2013. That means I have been faffing about on the app for nearly 12 years. A dozen years of food pics, community updates, bad choices, and thankfully not too many selfies.
But here is the twist. My blog actually started in December 2010. That is two and a half years of vegan ramblings online before I ever even thought to open the Instagram app. Why did it take me so long?
Keep reading to see the extremely average photo that started it all.
