The reality star first tried veganism in 2017

American model and TV personality Kylie Jenner told her 223m Instagram followers she’s trying to cut down her meat consumption.

The 23-year-old star, who previously tried veganism in 2017, shared an image of her plant-based meal on her Instagram stories with the caption: “Really trying to not eat meat rn so here’s my little dinner.”

The meal included sweet potato, couscous and broccoli.

‘Plant-based life’

It seems, the beauty mogul is following in the footsteps of her half-sister- Kim Kardashian – who has spoken about her plant-heavy diet a few times on social media- stating that a plant-based diet ‘does a body good’.

In a response to a fan, who asked whether she had removed a rib to achieve her slim waist, Kardashian replied: “No, I honestly think being a vegan now helped.”

 In a recent post, Kardashian also revealed she had  ‘officially converted’ three family members to a plant-based diet.

She reposted a picture from her sister Kourtney showing off her vegan lunch – which seemed to be mock meat, pasta, broccoli, and pesto.

Slammed for wearing fur

While Jenner is trying to exclude meat options from her diet, she has faced heavy criticism for wearing fur.

Last December, members of animal rights organization SoCal Animal Defense League confronted the supermodel and shamed her for wearing fur and shopping at Beverly Hills’ luxury store Moncler, which sells fox fur coats.

In another incident back in January 2020, Jenner was blasted when she posted a picture of her newly-bought Louis Vuitton slippers made from mink fur, only days after she tried to raise awareness about Koalas losing their lives in the Australian wildfire.

Vegan celebrities

A slew of celebrities are now endorsing plant-based lifestyles.

After singer-songwriter Katy Perry’s recent announcement that said she’s ready to be 100% vegan, fiancé Orlando Bloom revealed he is eating a mostly plant-based diet.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 44-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star said: “I’m 90-percent plant-based.”

Baywatch star Pamela Anderson told her 1.2 million followers that ‘vegans make better lovers’, a statement, which riled TV host Piers Morgan when she appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss her statement.
