Natalie - No Longer a Vegan
Back in February, it was big news that Academy Award winner Natalie Portman was a vegan – not just a vegetarian, but a person who believed that no products coming from animals should be included in a human diet. This included eggs, dairy, honey – and clothing like fur, wool and silk.
To this end, Natalie Portman had created a line of shoes using vegan materials (see A is for Animal Rights – Academy Award Winner Natalie Portman’s Vegan Shoe Line).
Now Natalie is pregnant and now she is no longer a vegan. She claims that the change is due to her pregnant craving for sweets, but I believe her body was really craving what is necessary to have a naturally healthy baby.
It is possible to be a vegetarian during pregnancy, but veganism is so restrictive it can compromise a baby’s health. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions recommends during pregnancy, a woman consume six to 11 servings of grain products, three to five servings of vegetables, two to four servings of fruits, four to six servings of milk and milk products, and three to four servings of meat and protein foods every day.
Natalie Portman is not only a wonderful actress, but a smart and naturally beautiful woman who will make a wonderful mother!
