Summary
In recent years, there has been a huge change in eating habits, with many of us choosing to eat more plant-based foods. Even some of the biggest fast-food chains in the world are now offering plant-based alternatives and nearly 1 in 3 Brits drink plant-based milk alternatives.
In this bonus episode of Changes, sponsored by Oatly, we explore this transition with the help of vegan chef Rachel Ama. We discuss why it’s happening now, the trends and the myths, along with the idea of making a plant-based diet work around your life, not rule it.
Rachel Ama became vegan 7 years ago and now has over 600k subscribers to her YouTube channel. She won the Observer Food Monthly Rising Star award in 2019, the same year she released her bestselling debut cookbook Vegan Eats, and last year she released her second cookbook, One Pot: Three Ways. You can buy those here: https://www.rachelama.com/new-page-31. Rachel is the perfect guest to speak about our new normal and share her expertise.
Our sponsors Oatly have recently launched ‘The New Norm & Al Show’ featuring Norm & Al, oat drink carton puppets who, like many of us, are trying to navigate the switch to plant-based eating. You can stream it at https://www.oatly.com/.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a very special bonus edition of Changes. |
| 0:09.0 | It's Annie here and it's so good to have you with us. |
| 0:14.9 | So for this week I have partnered with a brand called Oatly. |
| 0:18.4 | Now Oatly is one of my favorite food companies because it makes binding plant-based products |
| 0:23.3 | like oat drinks without having to bother any animals in the process. |
| 0:28.0 | As you can guess from the name, the products it makes are derived from oats. |
| 0:32.8 | Our whole house drinks it, we have the barista, creamy stuff in our coffee in the morning. |
| 0:37.1 | I've been drinking it for years and I can't really see myself or imagine life without having |
| 0:42.2 | plant-based drinks for some kind. |
| 0:44.6 | It's definitely a normal situation for me now. |
| 0:47.4 | I wanted to use this episode with Oatly to talk about transitions and how so many people |
| 0:55.5 | are transitioning to plant-based eating. |
| 0:58.1 | Why that's happening now? |
| 0:59.5 | The trends around it, the myths around it, how we can do it in a way that is easier. |
| 1:05.9 | Oatly have launched this show called The New Norm and I'll Show, an animated show featuring |
| 1:11.0 | two oat drink carton puppets, Norm and I'll, who like many of us are trying to navigate |
| 1:16.8 | the switch to plant-based eating. |
| 1:18.5 | So their kind of point of this is that it's okay, like you don't have to break up with |
| 1:23.3 | meat forever, it's all right to sometimes eat cheese, it's all right to sometimes have |
| 1:26.8 | a steak. |
| 1:27.8 | It's this idea of moderation, not having to feel like you have to fit in a box, which |
