As part of the diet, you've been eating foods that you don't really like. You've also had to eat different meals compared to the rest of the family.

In the introduction Tim Wilson tells the story of Ginger Pig which is both inspirational and also really funny. I am a huge fan of the Ginger Pig shops and the Hackney branch was my usual butcher while I lived in London, so I can testify to how good their produce is.
