Celebs at the Metropolitan OperaWe all remember that pivotal point in our lives when we turned vegetarian or vegan. Whether it was one last Thanksgiving meal or getting sick from a bad cheesy dish or watching a documentary on animal cruelty, the decision to go veg is often as memorable as first jobs or wedding dates.

Big Love and He’s Just Not That Into You actress Ginnifer Goodwin explained to W magazine’s editor what her defining moment for veganism was.

“We were filming the road trip episode of this season’s Big Love and we were staying in a hotel. I was doing a lot–and I mean a lot—of yoga at the time, and I’ve heard it’s not uncommon for something like this to happen when you are in a stage like that. Anyway, I was having my morning coffee, and I was pouring milk into it, and all I can say is that I suddenly realized what it was that I was pouring into my coffee. I was so disgusted, because I had never actually stopped to think about what milk is. And dairy had always been my favorite food group! I thought, ‘Surely this feeling will pass,’ but at lunchtime I was still disgusted. Over the next few days, I started really thinking about what I was eating.”

Can you remember the exact event that served as the catalyst for you go to go veg?
