Those who follow the dirt on Alicia Silverstone knows she’s committed some infidelity in her life.

Like that one time she totally went behind vegan cheese’s back and had a sample of real cheese at party.

While staunch vegans roll their eyes and dismiss her as yet another flaky celebrity who makes a bad name for the lifestyle, her latest cheating revelation may actually be good for pushing people toward more plant-based meals.

During an interview with Women’s Health, Silverstone admitted that every once in awhile she gets the urge to be a pescatarian.

“When I see oysters or scallops at a restaurant I sometimes get a little, like, “awwww.” But once I gave in and had a taste, and happily confirmed they’re not better than anything I’m eating now.”

If anything, her admission may make some vegan wannabes know if they mess up, there’s always another meal.

Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer illustrated this during one of his interviews when he said: “Unfortunately, it’s framed ‘You’re this or you’re that.’ ‘The light switch is on or it’s off.’ You make a choice three times a day. If you’re using one meal to excuse 1,000 meals, that is just crazy.”

Strict vegans will probably not start eating fish and cheese because Alicia Silverstone cheated. People will probably not think the word “vegan” means you still eat hamburgers once a week if you eat vegan for the rest of it because Alicia Silverstone cheated. But because Alicia Silverstone chose to reveal not even she is perfect, the next time her fans make the choice to eat three times a day, at least one of those meals might be vegan.
