Running a Pioneering Plant-Based Restaurant with Camilla Fayed

Camilla Fayed is the Founder of FARMACY, a plant-based restaurant in London known to provide customers with high-quality and organic plant-based foods and drinks. Camilla founded FARMACY on the belief that plant-based food is medicine to the human body. She is passionate about natural farming and sustainability, and upholds a strong belief that future restaurants must coexist with nature.

Camilla joins me today to discuss why she shifted to a 100% plant-based lifestyle and how food became her medicine. She shares the idea behind FARMACY and the struggles she encountered before it became a household name in London. She explains why it’s not the food we eat that is really harming us, but the additives megacorporations put in to make the food taste better. Camilla also describes her thoughts on those who view plant-based living as expensive and what she finds exciting about living a plant-based lifestyle.

"If the world wants to limit climate change, it needs to start with your plate." - Camilla Fayed
