“Caprica” Alessandra Torresani Never Ate Meat
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 27th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink.
Alessandra Torresani stars as the teenage daughter of Daniel Graystone, maker of the world’s first Cylon, in the new science fiction series on Syfy, Caprica.
Torresani has been a vegetarian her entire life and she spoke with HLife about her reasons for going veg.
“I was allergic to my mom’s breast milk as a child, so when I eventually started to eat normal food, they only gave me pureed fruits and vegetables ’cause my stomach was too sensitive. My family never gave me meat and they figured ‘Oh, when she is older, she’ll eventually want it’, but I never craved it. So, I literally have never had a piece of chicken in my life.”
She shared what she might eat on a typical day.
Someone’s gotta give this gal the lecture about skipping breakfast!
“Well, I hate breakfast, but I’ve been forcing myself to eat oatmeal and banana. Then, I have to have edamame every day ’cause I just crave edamame, but I really like and am really into this new spinach, zucchini and pesto sandwich. It’s really good. And then I can’t live without pasta ’cause I’m Italian, so, literally, I have to have pasta every day. I just have to do it.”
