During the 2016 Cheltenham Literary Festival, Renee McGregor and Bee Wilson were booed by fans of a clean eating guru for pointing out that coconut sugar is metabolized in the exact same way as refined sugar. Since then the two have looked closely at the fanaticism surrounding this dietary trend and its restrictive dogma.
Joining them to discuss the movement is Times columnist Emma Woolf who has written extensively about her own struggles with food and the extent to which the pursuit of the ‘perfect’ body can have damaging effects.
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the authors.
