Halle Bailey has been vegan for years. However, she said she had to give up her usual diet and eat meat because she was pregnant.
In explaining what he meant by this, the The Little Mermaid The actress said in an Instagram Live that while she was pregnant she had a craving for meat.
“And the answer is: not anymore,” she responded to fans' questions about whether she was still vegan, as she was seen eating while her 8-month-old son Halo, whom she shares with boyfriend DDG, was with her in the clip.
“And the reason is, I think I told some of you that when I was pregnant, I started craving meat.”
She continued: “I thought, well, I'm going to give my body what it wants right now because I'm doing such a hard job growing a human, and I also wanted to make sure that Halo was getting the proper nutrients and things that she needed.”
However, Halle, who has been vegan for 13 years, said her meat-free diet still makes up a large portion of her diet.
“If I feel like eating chicken or something like that, I'll eat it,” he adds. “But I don't eat a lot of meat. But if I feel like it, I'll eat it and that's it.”
