Abbie Cornish On When She Went Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 17th, 2011 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Growing up, Abbie Cornish always ate the meat and eggs from the animals her family raised. Although she was aware of where her food came from, she never learned what a vegetarian was until she was 13.

Expect to see Bob Harper’s Smart Success on the shelves sometime in April.

Vegetarians and vegans can also expect not to be disappointed, as Harper says on his blog he was careful to work with a manufacturer who adhered to his strict, animal-free standards.

“When I first started thinking about this project I had a very long laundry list of what I wanted for my products. Namely, I was looking for clinically proven key ingredients. I wanted it to be vegan and vegetarian friendly. It needed to be gluten free and dairy free. I wanted veggie caps. I wanted supportive ingredients like natural goji berry & pomegranate. The list went on and on – and the world-class company I teamed up with delivered on every single item.”
