12. Food

What is the future of food? How do we navigate modern wellness culture? When is it ethical to eat someone else's leftovers? Join Mae, Bisha, Ned and Steve who will try to figure it all out. This week, Mae discusses her hatred of activated charcoal, Bisha investigates artificial meat and Ned tries being vegan for a week. Great British Bake Off legend Tom Gilliford gives us the inside track on his time in the famous tent and helps solve your food related dilemmas, and Steve Ali puts everything into perspective by offering advice on a chicken jalfrezi crisis.

"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood.
 
Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective.
