Gwyneth Paltrow’s Quick Chicken Gets Quick Criticism From Viva!
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 27th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian, Videos.
Gwyneth Paltrow has gained some criticism from the UK vegetarian group Viva! (Vegetarians International Voice For Animals) for demonstrating how to cook roast chicken on her Goop website.
Although once upon a time Gwyneth professed to follow a macrobiotic, vegan diet, her actions over the past year, including wearing fur for a photoshoot and demonstrating how to cook turkey for Thanksgiving, have both disappointed and disgusted her vegetarian fans.
“To hear of a so-called vegan promoting the use of chicken meat is extremely disappointing,” Juliet Gellatley, Viva!’s director, said.
“It not only condemns the cruel conditions that millions of these birds are forced to exist in, but it also shows complete disregard for the damage that the meat industry – including chicken production – is doing to an ever-fragile planet and to peoples’ health.”
“If Gwyneth wants to promote healthy eating, she should think twice about cooking chicken.”
“A medium-sized bird contains almost a pint of fat. It also releases cancer-causing compounds when it is cooked”
“We encourage Gwyneth to rethink her diet. She obviously does care, but needs nudging back in the right direction to veganism”
Yes, back to the direction of vegan B.L.T.s.
