I'm honest about caring about animals. You know, eggs and milk products, there's a lot of animal discomfort in that, too. I don't know if it's a permanent thing."Natalie, 26, says she first become a vegetarian because she didn't want to eat a kosher diet.The brunette beauty - who was brought up in a Jewish household and went to a Jewish school - told Marie Claire magazine: "I used to bring non-kosher food in my lunch bag and my mom would make me lie and say I had tuna when really it was non-kosher chicken salad. I hated that, so I said, 'I'm a vegetarian.' It was my out."(C) BANG Media International
