Key Highlights

  • Or perhaps the hemp protein powder?
  • Certainly, when I started adding goose-poo-coloured dust to my breakfast, the unease I have been feeling around food culture deepened.
  • Turning an already drab meal (plain vegan yoghurt, enough seeds to kill a gerbil) into what looked, and tasted, like mud felt more like self-harm than self-care.
  • But, no, what pushed me over the edge was the tiny £2 Marks & Spencer sea moss shot.
  • Sorry, not just sea moss: “High-quality red algae sea moss … high in iodine, vitamins C, B1, B6 and B12.” It was blue and tasted awful, with hints of bubble bath.
