Vegetarian Star

“First let me say that two of my four parents have actually gone vegan, which I think is shocking and out of character for traditional southern parents. But they saw the impact it had on my life and it just sort of happened.”

“For the most part I only talk about veganism when I’m invited to because I believe that it’s such a strong personal choice. I feel like it’s more effective to introduce people to this lifestyle when they can set the pace about what they want to learn. So I wait until people ask me questions.”

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin took a stand for animals during the Humane Society’s Taking Action For Animals rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.

“As long as we keep sharing there will be a mass domino effect. And only good can come of that,” Goodwin said, praising the Humane Society of the United States’ efforts for better animal protection laws.

Ginnifer was one of several celebrities to take part in the HSUS TAFA event.

The fifth annual Taking Action For Animals conference is wrapping up its last day and several stars showed up for a banquet to share their vegan and animal rights experiences.

Nellie McKay talked about her recently adopted pit bulls, who apparently love to eat some vegan things, because they’ve been chewing on her shoes, which she pointed out to the audience.

Humane Society of the United States president and CEO Wayne Pacelle talked about his decision to work with convicted dog fighting ringleader and ex Atlanta Falcons football player Michael Vick.

And Ginnifer Goodwin discussed how various “moments” like pouring milk over her cereal led to her making the vegan transition.
