Talking Point
Cedric edited a meat magazine in the Netherlands in the early 2000s and told vegetarian friends it was called Meet International – a global dating magazine. He has eaten a raw potato in front of the Vice President of Peru and used to get confused with another Cedric Porter who was the Entertainment Editor for South London Press - he was asked why he was writing about farming and Cedric got the street cred that people thought he was a band reviewer.
