“What the hell can you eat? Bark?” an interviewer once
asked Zooey Deschanel. The indie darling went gluten-free because of an allergy to the protein. And as if removing gluten from her diet wasn’t enough, she was also a vegan for many years. Deschanel veganized an episode of
Top Chef, during which she challenged contestants to cater to her veganism and gluten-restrictive diet. (On the menu? Quinoa pasta.) Deschanel recently abandoned her veganism, saying that, coupled with her gluten-free diet, it limited her dietary options too heavily. “I gave it a good try, but sometimes you just need a little something, a little meat,” she
told Bust magazine.
