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.

The beef option contains fewer ingredients and a preservative to help extend the shelf life of the product, whereas the vegan option requires stabilisers and emulsifiers to provide the right texture and mouthfeel .Research published in the BMJ showed that higher intakes of emulsifiers including methyl cellulose was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease although more research is needed to prove cause and effect.
The World Cancer Research Fund advises limiting processed meat consumption as it is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer by way of the nitrites used to preserve the meat.
