Vegetarian Star

Ginnifer Goodwin "VegNews"

Ginnifer Goodwin is on the cover of the May/June 2010 issue of VegNews Magazine.

The magazine has titled this issue the “Big Love” one, and not just because of the actress’ hit HBO television series. There is also a section on vegan weddings!

Goodwin discussed the factors that led her to become vegetarian and her work with the Humane Society of the United States as well as that controversial cover shoot for W magazine where she wore leather.

“I had written the magazine, my publicist had talked to the magazine, and there was not going to be a way for me to do that cover without wearing the clothes they needed modeled, which of course made me uncomfortable because I was clad in all leather. I would never do a fashion campaign selling leather. I would never accept money to model leather.”

Goodwin took a lot of criticism from the vegan community for agreeing to do the shoot, which she says, “really did break my heart.”

“I took solace in Rory Freedman, a new friend a the time, who made me feel a lot better about the decision to have taken the cover over not having taken it as an opportunity to talk about the issues.”

Could Ginnifer Goodwin be the next spokesperson for Vionnet?

The actress recently cohosted a celebration for the brand at Saks Fifth Avenue with Ron Frasch, Matteo Marzotto and Virginia Smith, where she told WWD, “I would be very happy to be their international spokesman.”

Ginnifer obtained her custom made pair of vegan boots from the company, so she if comes on board, let’s hope her presence encourages more cruelty-free options for Vionnet fans.

You’ve seen those commercials for “Happy Cows” sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board where cows are seen roaming freely in the pasture, females get a chance to gossip while the bulls attempt to speak French in hopes procreating before slaughter time.

Not everyone agrees with the idyllic picture portrayed by the CMAB and Big Love actress Ginnifer Goodwin has written her thoughts to the Federal Trade Commission regarding what animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says are deceptive practices in these campaigns.

“In show business, we often have good reason for making people believe things that aren’t true, but there is no excuse for the CMAB’s misrepresentation of the milk industry,” writes Goodwin. “[C]onsumers deserve better than to be fed cheerful lies about ‘happy cows.'”

Goodwin goes on to say that the reality is most cows in California are confined in crammed spaces filled with dirt and their own excrement, and suffer udder infections as a result of being forced to produce unnatural amounts of milk induced through administering drugs.

Watch the video below to see an example of the CMAB commercials.

Vegetarians are just like most other human beings, meaning that around the Holidays they will stuff themselves so much, you’d think a farmer was planning to make foie gras out of them.

InStyle magazine asked Ginnifer Goodwin what her Holiday “cheat” was and Ginnifer responded, “I don’t eat animal products of any kind, but I have a big problem with vegan macaroni and cheese.”

Who wouldn’t have a problem controlling themselves with a dairy free version of one of the biggest comfort foods on the planet?

Most homemade vegan mac and cheese will contain nutritional yeast, which not only adds that “cheesy” color, but brings out a rich and creamy taste.

This holiday season, try out this recipe from vegweb.com, Mama Koala’s Vegan Mac and “Cheese.”

Because cheating on dairy is always forgiven.

Ginnifer Goodwin is starring in Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey PSA this year and it took more than one take to get a decent 30 second commercial.

Here are some hilarious Farm “bloopers” with Ginnifer and her cow and turkey co-stars.

“A little bit more ladylike,” Ginnifer advises as a turkey eats apples from a bowl.

Then there’s the cow who takes a break to “lick its ball.”

The DVD series of these would sell more than Girls Gone Wild.

Ginnifer Goodwin has confirmed her Thanksgiving meal this year will be a Tofurky.

No surprise, considering she’s the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’

Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.

Don’t forget you can have your own badass turkey for only $25 through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program.
