Did you ever see a fat hippy*? Would a lotus position be possible with a spare tyre or two? Can you imagine Vanessa Feltz with a head full of dreads and a naval-pierced midriff? The yoga-toned, peace-loving, earth-child is the inspiration behind this new way of eating. The hippy diet embraces a hollistic approach to getting a better body and mind, and caring for yourself and the environment. *We're talking purely about ideological hippies here.
