Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Dan and joining me is Rob.
Here at BBC Learning English, we're always discussing diets.
Hmm, I am on a seafood diet.
When I see food, I just have to eat it.
I suppose there's no chance of converting you to a vegan diet.
That seems to be the most talked about food fat at the moment.
A fad is something that's popular, but only for a short time.
Of course, veganism, that's not eating or using any products that come from animals,
may be more than a fad.
It could be a lifestyle that improves our health and the planet,
and it could be here to stay.
But personally, me becoming a vegan would take some persuading.
I'm sure it would.
And in this program, we'll be discussing the debate about veganism,
and how it's sometimes difficult to change people's minds.
But first, a question to answer.
We've mentioned what a vegan eats, but what about a lacto-ovo vegetarian?
