In page 2 of The Drinkwater Diary, I talk with a friend of mine from the University of Bristol – Patrick Cromb. Through an outstanding ability to articulate some of the most important reasons for the vegan way of life, Patrick was actually one of the biggest influences as to why I tried veganism myself.  His commitment to the cause has allowed him to develop a relationship with the team behind the popular YouTube channel and Facebook page ‘Plant Based News’, featuring in some of their videos.
Our conversation touches on many of the important topics that surround the vegan diet. Why is dairy bad? Where does your protein intake come from? Do carbohydrates make us fat? At no point does Patrick claim to be an expert, but his knowledge speaks for itself. Many people choose to turn a blind eye to the arguments of the vegan community, but it is time we started to take these more seriously. In the next year, nearly half of all milk in stores will be non-dairy. Is this the diet of the future?
