Comments Off on Abbie Cornish On When She Went Vegetarian
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.
“I know in this day and age it’s hard to believe that,” Cornish said of her naivete. “I grew up on a farm, so I wasn’t indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. So for some reason I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.”
Actually, given the fact some adults in the 40s and beyond don’t realize what’s acceptable for a vegetarian to eat and not eat, Cornish’s realization at 13 may actually be considered precocious.

“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.”
