  Sir David Attenborough had us all quietly weeping to end the weekend last night, as the first episode of Seven Worlds, One Planet aired on BBC One, documenting the harsh reality our planet’s wildlife currently faces as a result of climate change
  Not one to hold back when it comes to delivering cold, hard truths about the suffering of habitats and species because of humankind’s impact on the environment, Sir David certainly didn’t go easy on audiences last night
  The fate of baby Albatross chicks, forced to face 70mph winds alone while the adult birds are out at sea, was a particularly heart-breaking scene for viewers
  ‘The albatross here are facing extinction – they simply cannot keep pace with the changes affecting their world,’ Sir David explained on the show’s voiceover
  ‘Definitely not shying away from the impact of humans on the natural world in this series
 Very emotive imagery and language. Very important messages,’ one viewer wrote on Twitter while another agreed: ‘#SevenWorldsOnePlanet has everything you need – fantastic awesome photography, suspense, drama, horror and romance
 Hats off to Attenborough and the huge team behind this stunning work – as always
’      But, as one of the nation’s most well-known champions of conservation and protecting animals of all species, does Sir David Attenborough refrain from eating meat too, or is the national treasure still an omnivore? Is Sit David Attenborough a vegetarian or vegan?  In 2017 Attenborough revealed to the Radio Times that he’d: ‘given up meat, not for ideological reasons, I just don’t care for it too much
 I do eat fish. Poor fish,’ and in a separate interview with Louis Theroux he revealed that his reasons for becoming ‘increasingly vegetarian’ were both for health and ethical reasons
  While he wouldn’t label himself as a vegetarian, Attenborough did reveal to the Radio Times back in April 2019 that he eats ‘very little meat at all’ these days:  ‘I’m not a vegetarian in the sense that I would actually throw up if I saw or touched a piece of meat, but I eat very little meat at all,’ he says
  ‘Poultry a bit, but mostly fish. And I think most people are doing the same. The world is moving towards a dependancy on fish
 And heaven help us, what we’re doing to the ocean at the same time; we are crippling its fertility
 So it’s a very, very serious problem.’ When is Seven Worlds, One Planet next on ?  In each episode of Seven Worlds, One Planet, the documentary will focus on a new continent, shining a spotlight on the unique animals that live there and the threats that they face daily as a result of the environment and climate change
      While the first episode focused on Antarctica and the threats posed to the species that live there due to the ocean warming, next week’s episode will take a fascinating look at the rarely seen animals who inhabit Asia, travelling from the desert, to the jungle and to the highest mountains on earth
  Episode 2 of Seven Worlds, One Planet will air on BBC One again, on Sunday 3 November 2019 at 6
15pm.  Seven Worlds, One Planet continues Sunday at 6.15pm on BBC One.
