Zooey Deschanel had a lovely quinoa dish cooked up for her on Top Chef Masters, but the singer and kid sis of Emily Deschanel says she wasn’t a vegan when she ate it, and her multiple food allergies keep her from being one.

From Time Out Chicago:

“Oh, man, that was awesome! Though, a long time before they aired the show, I gave up veganism. I can’t do it. And I’ll tell you why. I have multiple food allergies. That’s kind of why I became a vegan, because I was like, Oh, I’m halfway there. I can’t have eggs or dairy. I can’t have wheat, either. Or soy. It was impossible being vegan.”

No wheat or soy? Can’t imagine a life without tofu or seitan!

A list of alternatives to wheat reveal a popular vegetarian staple, buckwheat noodles, otherwise known as soba noodles, are gluten-free. Then there’s almond milk instead of soy. Unless you have a nut allergy.

Oh, boy, is there hope for wannabe vegans like Zooey?

Daily Muesli anyone?
