Dave Bautista Reveals He’s Been Dairy-Free For Over 20 Years

In a recent interview, actor and former wrestler Dave Bautista revealed that he has been dairy-free for over 20 years, going dairy-free in 2002 due to discovering a dairy allergy that exacerbated his asthma. Bautista explained that his "GOAT" cheat meal would be a New York-style pizza with a doughy gluten-filled crust, extra sauce, and sausage, as he hasn't had real pizza in two decades.

Bautista also shared that he follows a predominantly plant-based diet, cutting out red meat and pork in 2010 and going completely plant-based six to seven months prior to the interview. He still eats eggs daily and cooks fish one or two times per week. The percentage of Americans consuming plant-rich diets has increased over the years, with many considering adopting a plant-based diet to reduce emissions from food production. Widespread adoption of a primarily plant-based diet could have significant health benefits and prevent early deaths.
