Lea Michele “Women’s Health” June 2010 Discusses Dairy Dilemma
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 18th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink.
Lea Michele is on the cover of the June 2010 issue of Women’s Health.
The Glee actress says she used to curl up with a block of cheese for a good time, until she learned more about the deleterious effects of dairy on people and animals.
“My idea of heaven used to be relaxing at home with a cheese plate and champagne… I’m a foodie, but I think it’s much more fun to find things on the menu that are good for me,’ Michele says.
Reading the best selling book Skinny Bitch gave her what she called a slap “in the face.”
The vegan diet book contains an entire chapter titled, “The Dairy Disaster.”
Having Italian heritage on one side of her family, leaving cheese off the pasta and sauce dishes wasn’t the easiest transition.
“Coming from an Italian family, you can imagine [they] couldn’t understand. But they respected my decision.”
And she has learned to veganize some of her mother’s favorite recipes.
