Eastenders goes meat-free
Fans of Eastenders will be no strangers to seeing the locals of Albert Square tucking into a bacon sandwich. However, since 2020 Eastenders producers cut meat from the screen and only allow vegan and vegetarian food to be served to reduce their carbon footprint.
Additionally, a number of actors on the show have come forward to promote a plant-based lifestyle.
Actress Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter on the show, follows a plant-based diet and regularly promotes her meat-free lifestyle to her fans on social media.
While actor Danny Hatchard, who plays Lee Carter, is an advocate for veganism has spoken on the Simply Vegan Podcast to encourage others to support the cause.
