Michael Jackson Expressed Interest In Vegetarian Pregnancy
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 27th, 2009 in Male Singers.
The year was 1983 and newly vegetarian Michael Jackson had wandered into The Golden Temple restaurant, where he was a regular.
Although Michael had no children of his own yet, he was extremely interested in learning how the mother’s vegetarian diet would affect pregnancy and the outcome of the baby.
He met David Wallechinsky, now editor-in-chief at Allgov.com, who’s wife was pregnant and the two engaged in conversation and kept in touch so Michael could see the beautiful and healthy child born to a vegetarian mother and learn what it was like to be father.
Although some otherwise vegetarian woman say they experienced strange meat cravings during pregnancy, the truth is, nutritionists and doctors say vegetarian and vegan pregnancies can be completely healthy.

My best and easiest pregancy was when I was vegan (last one). No unnecessary weight gain, less nausea, and a short labor.

There is no scientific evidence that vegetarian pregnancy is a better pregnancy. Millions of babies are brought to this world by non-vegetarian mothers and they are as healthy as any other baby.
