Lea Michele said she’s never eaten fast food

So Lea Michele just said something shocking, and we’re honestly having a hard time believing it. The actress claims that she’s never had fast food. Not only that, but the Scream Queen star went on to say that she also never drinks soda and never eats candy. It’s not that we don’t trust Lea Michele, but it’s so hard to imagine a human who has never had any of those things!
Are we to believe she never snuck a soda at a friend’s sleepover party as a kid? Never got to play with a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy? Never went trick-or-treating? Or even worse, went trick-or-treating and watched her parents take away her candy?
We just have so many questions!
Michele made this shocking reveal in an interview with E! News where she discussed her workout routine and eating habits. She went on to say that she works out a lot, but part of her reasons for doing so is so she can feel comfortable eating whatever she wants (except fast food, candy, and soda of course).
"I love working out. I work out to feel good but also so I can eat whatever I want. I want to be able to enjoy myself," she explained. "I’m Italian. I like to eat big meals. I love red wine. And you know also when you’re traveling and stuff like that I like trying new restaurants and going on adventures, so I can’t limit myself.
This makes sense to us. Under this definition it sounds like Michele hasn’t completely eliminated treats from her diet. Her treats are just Italian food, wine, and new cuisine. Also when you think about it, she can probably have dessert under these guidelines. It just can’t be candy or come from a fast food restaurant.
When you put it that way the possibilities feel endless!
Honestly, we love Lea Michele and support whatever makes her happy. So if not having fast food, soda, or candy is part of her happy place, we’re all for it! We might not totally get it, but that’s just fine. Variety, after all, is the spice of life!
