A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
Hot off the press of the prestigious Journal of Celebrity Affairs (Us Weekly), Natalie Portman is eating animals during her pregnancy:
The 29-year-old Your Highness star -- who is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millepied later this summer -- is no longer a vegan.
"I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff," she said during a Monday phone interview with the Q100 Bert Show in Atlanta. "I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff."
"I know there are people who do stay vegan," she added, "but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in in your diet."
The Oscar-winning actress -- who became a vegan in 2009 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals -- doesn't regret her decision to become a vegetarian again.
"If you're not eating eggs, then you can't have cookies or cake from regular bakeries, which can become a problem when that's all you want to eat," she laughed. "I actually wanted eggs at the beginning and then they grossed me out after awhile."
Good for her. The body knows what it needs. Story here.

What a cute, and completely false comment.
And Portman stated she was going back to becoming a vegetarian, not "eating animals" again.
So weird that you'd use that as the title to this blog post.
