Louise Gray likes to know exactly where her food comes from. For her first book, The Ethical Carnivore, she only ate animals she killed herself.  Her conclusion was that meat should be treated with the reverence it deserves and we should all be eating less for the sake of climate change. The book won Best Food Book and Best Investigative Work at the Guild of Food Writers Awards.

In her new column series for Wicked Leeks, Roots to Fruits, Louise will be taking one fruit or vegetable a month and distilling these complex stories into articles that help us make better decisions.  Having recently become a mother, her aim is to try and find ways to buy fruit and vegetables that has a positive impact on the planet for the next generation.

And yes, she will be trying to find out if avocados can ever be ethical.
