Lea Michele insists that she doesn’t “eat grass”.
The Glee actress is a strong supporter of animal rights and only consumes vegan foods such as vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains.
However, Lea admits her diet does baffle some meat-eaters.
“People get confused, like, you know, I just eat grass,” she laughed in an interview with Allure magazine.
The brunette was also vocal on all aspects of her professional and personal life, including the eating disorder rumours that have surrounded her.
The actress appeared to look thinner last summer, but the 25-year-old says the weight loss was the result of a jaw infection.
Lea proudly declared that there is nothing wrong with her appetite.
"I'm half Italian," she smiled. "I can eat some b**ches under the table."
The musical theatre star also spoke about her relationship with former vegan, and fellow Glee star Gwyneth Paltrow.
Lea doesn’t understand why the actress gets such a hard time in the press.
"I don't know what people are smoking, because this woman is one of the most talented, beautiful, smart but laid-back, cool people I've worked with," she insisted. "That's what I hate about this business. Before I met her, I was intimidated because of her image. But she's the greatest.”
