In addition to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food, Chelsea Clinton insisted on organic flowers for her wedding this past weekend to Marc Mezvinsky.

Florist Jeff Leatham told US Magazine, “It was very important [to Chelsea] to keep it organic and natural…The theme, floral wise, was organic, clean, simple and elegant.”

The happy couple and their guests may have breathed easier without many traditional pesticides and fungicides that are banned in North America for being carcinogenic and causing multiple health problems like nausea, neurological and reproductive problems in workers tending to the plants.

More details on the Chelsea Clinton and lifelong friend Marc Mezvinsky wedding are being leaked as the July 31st wedding date approaches.

It’s already been reported that the reception menu will contain vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items. Now it’s been discovered that not only is Chelsea vegan, she is allergic to gluten and also follows a gluten-free diet, and the cake will be made with such specifications.

Gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley and rye causes small intestine damage to those with a sensitivity to it and prevents them from absorbing nutrients. Common alternatives include oats, millet, rice and items labelled “gluten-free,” but according to a new survey, there are many products claiming to be gluten-free that have been tested and contain contaminants.

Chelsea Clinton is scheduled to walk down the aisle soon with childhood friend and investment banker Marc Mezvinsky.

Life & Style gave Popeater some details about the wedding for the vegan daughter of the former President of the United States.

“The food will include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, but there will also be grass-fed organic beef on the menu. And dad and President Bill Clinton prefers California wines, so he’ll likely chose those to serve at the wedding.”
