Bryce Dallas Howard Doctor Said Meat Protein Essential For Health
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 21st, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Bryce Dallas Howard revealed to Self Magazine that she took to eating meat again on the advice of a medical “professional.”
“I actually had a rare condition that was triggered by pregnancy, where consuming the amino acids from meat became critical to my health. My doctor sat me down and finally said, “Bryce, you need to choose between your ethics and your future.” The transition was emotional, but I was grateful to my doctor for putting things in perspective for me, and I’m grateful that I can still appreciate where my food comes from.”
Bryce doesn’t mention the name of her medical condition, but unless you’re allergic to soy, the old myth that only meat contains all necessary amino acids is as phony as the “vegetarian” vampires in Eclipse.
Although some experts once thought soy lacked sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine, soy is actually a complete protein, providing all 9 essential amino acids (those the body cannot synthesize on its own). Soy is only limiting in both and only methionine is essential.
There are numerous meal ideas combining nuts, seeds and legumes that offer a chance to complete protein sources.
Is Bryce’s doctor just a meat eating quack?

She’s “grateful” she can appreciate that her food comes from factory farms?
I have a REALLY hard time believing any doctor would imply that not eating meat could be life-threatening. It probably came down to what was easier and most convenient for her in terms of getting those amino acids.
If I had a doctor tell me that I had to choose between my ethics and “my future,” I would get a second opinion.

I agree. She changed her mind. Period. Veganism can be a challenge and requires attention to food combinations, vegetarianism is easy. Humans do not need to eat meat or consume the milk of other animals. Her ‘justifiction attempt’ is lame.
I had a vegan diet for years too, but stpped calling myself vegan when i stopped looking at labels for traces of honey, cassein, and insect dyes. Nobody cares. As my bf put it “its not a contest of who is more vegetarian than who”
