Why I wrote A Place at Your Table


Hi Reader

As one of my regular subscribers, I've sent you a few emails over the last few days about my new ebook, launching exclusively for you on Monday.

It's not just another ebook and here's why.

I hope you know by now that a few months ago, I took the big decision to stop running The Real Meal Deal as my own business and to donate all the profits to the charity Mary's Meals.

My passion has always been about educating and helping people around eating a sustainable diet. I do honestly believe that if enough people do it, we can make a difference. Not just now, but for future generations too. But I'm also impatient and I feel the world is changing fast.

I saw an opportunity to use my work to help children right now in some of the countries most impacted by climate change. Life is incredibly tough for these children. The thought that many of them can go days without food is heartbreaking.

Mary's Meals is an incredible charity and they are helping these children today. Their low-cost model means they can feed one child for one whole year in a place of education for just £19.15/US$25.20 / CAN$31.70 / AUS$34.80 / €22.00. That just blows my mind. For the same price as a few coffees, you can literally change a life.

And there's more. Because these children are guaranteed a meal at school, they go to school. Before, their parents may have had to send them out to work instead, just to earn enough to eat. A meal in school takes that worry away. Once they are in school, they learn, which means they are better placed to help their families and communties break out of the cycle of poverty. For the same price as a few coffees!

I've always wanted to make a difference and that's why, with the support of my husband, we decided to donate all the profits to Mary's Meals. But honestly, £19.15 needs ALOT of visits to my site to generate that from ad revenue. So I decided to create an ebook. It's a win-win. I'm incredibly proud of it as a product and I'm sure you'll find it really useful. But also, every copy sold changes a child's life.

That's why I've called it A Place at Your Table. Everyday, imagine setting another place at your own table for the child you are helping to feed. It's both an invitation and a celebration. An invitation to change your eating habits to a way that's good for everyone and the planet, and a celebration of your wonderful generosity.

Look out for the sales link in tomorrow's special email.
