Carrie Underwood was a guest on Australia’s The Circle to promote her Play On album.

Underwood has been a vegetarian since adolescence, but has recently removed all animal products from her diet due to a medical condition.

Will Carrie be our next vegan celebrity hero?

“I grew up on a farm. Once I learned why we had a farm, that was that,” Underwood said, referring to her decision to go vegetarian.

“I’ve recently made the switch to vegan because I’m actually kind of lactose intolerant.”

Welcome to the club, Carrie. Both the vegan and lactose intolerant ones. Contrary to what millions of dollars in advertising campaigns want us to believe, the ability to drink milk without severe consequences–as in a belly ache or worst later– is actually NOT normal.

Outside of those with Northern European heritage, most people in the world lose their ability to digest lactose after birth. Thirty to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant and the majority of Native Americans, Asian-Americans and African-Americans cannot digest milk products properly.

Milk does a body good?

For many people, only if it’s sourced from rice, almonds, coconut or soy.
