What Made Jessica Chastain Start Eating a Vegan Diet?

Before Jessica Chastain became vegan, she had been a pescatarian. She was one of those people who accidentally became vegan as she admitted how it happened at random.

Jessica Chastain told W Magazine that “I found myself going to veganism because a friend of mine had a two-week vegan food delivery program she wasn’t going to use so I used it, and immediately I just had more energy than I’ve ever had in my life. Being vegan was not anything I ever wanted to be. I just really was listening to what my body was telling me.”

She went on to admit that “I was really low on energy; my cholesterol was very high, and the doctor wanted to put me on medicine.”

Thankfully that never happened as Jessica Chastain’s vegan diet quickly resolved those issues!

As she has made it a priority to adopt animals. Becoming a shelter animal advocate as she encourages others to follow in her footsteps. And to prioritize adopting from shelters over supporting breeders.
