The only reason that I included this article was to show you how celebrities are more worried about which cause is trendy rather than the cause itself.

Now why would she stop when she got pregnant if she wasn’t worried about the effects of this diet on herself and her baby. It just goes to show that a balanced diet which includes meat and dairy is still the best way to go.
