Interview with Omari McQueen

1. Please tell me a little more about yourself and your social media.

1. I am 11 years old, I’m also the CEO of Dipalicious a vegan food company, the youngest restaurateur in the world and youngest vegan chef in the UK.

I live in London with my mum, dad and 5 other siblings.

2. I have been vegan for nearly 4 years.

3. I saw a PETA UK video on YouTube and I didn’t like the way animals were being treated for food and clothes so I decided I will go vegan.

4. Since I’ve been vegan I kept on hearing people say you can’t be vegan and healthy so I started to research for myself and I realised how much healthier it was for my body.

Now I teach others about the benefits of healthy foods on my Top Tip Tuesday’s.

5. I don’t see anything hard about being vegan, being vegan isn’t a diet it’s a lifestyle that chooses not to harm animals.

If you believe that harming animals is wrong being vegan is easy.

 

 6. What’s your favourite meal?

6. I love my BBQ Jackfruit wraps they are the best.

                                                      7. Are there any foods you miss or crave?

7. No as I now know what happens

8. Yes, I have two of my siblings a few of my friends and my family eat mostly vegan as they love my cooking.

9. Gordon Ramsay inspires me but the more people I meet the more I am inspired. I would love to one day meet with Jaden Smith he inspires me too.  

10. I would say try different foods use seasoning to adapt to your own taste and if they are going vegan for the animals like me I would say don’t think about what it used to taste like think about the process and you won’t go back.
