Loosening up: The musician gave up her vegan diet after 20 years because of her cravings for dairy
Though Grimes seems excited about her pregnancy and has posted multiple grotesque science fiction–styled photos of her baby bump, the intense cravings accompanying it have led her to abandon her 20-year vegan diet in order to have real milk and butter.
‘Actually lately the one pregnancy craving I have is just a glass of milk. Which is so weird because I haven’t had a glass of milk in probably 20 years, but lately I’ve just been having a glass of milk,’ she said in a video for Harper’s Bazaar.
‘Just cow’s milk. It’s probably become clear I’m not vegan during this time. This trying time.’
