Corbyn reshuffles his diet with vegan options
LIFE-LONG vegetarian Jeremy Corbyn has hinted that he is considering switching to become a vegan.
The Labour leader said that he was “going through the process” of changing his diet because dishes that do not include eggs or milk had improved.
Mr Corbyn was quizzed by workers at Lush cosmetics about whether he was going to make “the logical next step to veganism”. This was because “Britain’s first vegan prime minister would be something worth fighting for”.
Vegetarians do not eat meat while vegans do not eat eggs or dairy products too. He replied: “It’s a fair question. I eat more and more vegan food, and have more and more vegan friends. The food has got a lot better. One of my close relatives has just become a vegan and I went to her house for dinner and it was absolutely brilliant. So I’m going through the process alright? I won’t go any further than that.”
A Labour spokesman later tried to play down Mr Corbyn’s comments, saying that he had “actually meant that he is ‘in the process’ of eating more vegan food. That’s all.”
