EATING KALE TURNED ME INTO YODA!
Going vegan left Mike looking like Star Wars character
WHEN Mike Morgan decided to give up meat and dairy to save the world he thought he’d be making himself healthier, too.
But sadly the barista from Bristol discovered he didn’t really like any vegetables or any of the fancy meat replacement foods.
So he was left starving until he tried healthy superfood kale – and realised he LOVED it.
For the next six months he ate the leafy veg for every meal until his SKIN turned green and he ended up looking like Yoda from Star Wars.
The 24- year- old said: “I’m very keen on saving the planet and have even got a Greta Thunberg tattoo on my back to prove just how committed
I am. “So I decided the best thing to do would be to go vegan, which would really reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for my social media followers.
Vomit
“The only problem was I really don’t like vegetables at all.
“Carrots make me vomit and peas make my skin crawl.
“I tried one of the Greggs vegan sausage rolls but it gave me indigestion and all the meat replacement foods are proper creepy.
“Someone suggested I try kale – and I loved it. It was like a taste party in my mouth.
“I thought I had this vegan thing sorted and ate it for every meal, breakfast, lunch and supper.
“My followers loved all the kale recipes I was putting on my Insta.
“Then one morning, I woke up and my skin was green. I looked like Yoda from Star Wars!
“I went straight to the doctors and he warned me that I had to stop eating just kale, as the chlorophyll was passing into my skin.
“But that would mean stopping being vegan and if I do that I’m basically murdering kids, so I can’t do it.
“I’m just going to have to stay green.”
