She is widely known for her promotion of various ideas about health and nutrition and was the former host of Channel 4’s You Are What You Eat from 2004 until 2007.
Gillian claims she was raised on junk food, so now advises against, and told viewers: “We all know the kind of food I grew up with — a typical Scottish diet.
“We’d have meat three times a day. I certainly never ate a mango, and had no idea what macrobiotic meant.”
