Although Ginnifer Goodwin used to be a cheeseburger lover, she doesn’t crave those anymore. But that doesn’t mean cares if someone else does. From the editor’s blog at W magazine:

“So many people say to me, ‘I tried, and it was too hard,’ or ‘I had to cheat,’ and I always think, ‘Then it’s not right for you,'” Ginnifer said.

“You shouldn’t have to try. For me there’s no “try” involved. There’s nothing I want less than a piece of cheese or a burger. I have nightmares I’m being force-fed these things. I have no interest in converting anyone. It’s purely how I want to live my life. I don’t judge anyone.”

Ginnifer took some flack for posing in leather and silk for the W magazine shoot, which her cousin and Humane Society of the United States coordinator, JP Goodwin, explained to readers in the comments section on a post at supervegan.com.

What do you guys think of judgemental vegans? Should people make more effort to educate and change the diet of others. Or will this only turn people away?

W Magazine (which is on a roll doing some fantastic regular vegan features, by the way) recently interviewed actress Ginnifer Goodwin, where they discovered the newlywed vegan used to have some Big Love for cheeseburgers.

“People keep saying to me, ‘Ginny, you were such a cheeseburger person; that was, like, your thing,'” Ginnifer told W.

“I’m so anti body-image issues. It was always part of my identity that I would show off by eating everything. But I’ve made a decision that I could not continue to support these [meat] industries.”

But that doesn’t mean Ginnifer can’t enjoy a big meal like in her pre-vegan days.

While doing the interview, Ginnifer was scarfing down spaghetti and “wheat” balls at a vegan eatery in Greenwich village.

And we already know she doesn’t go without her taco fix for long. Or her vegan pancakes, which may have her doing an Olivia Wilde eating contest on somebody. 

We still know you’re the Queen of Eating, Ginnifer. Now you wear a healthier, less cruel crown.

One dilemma vegans have is whether to support non vegan companies.

Kathy Freston, the author who inspired Oprah Winfrey to go vegan for 21 days, has her stance on this and recently shared it with W Magazine’s Senior Fashion Features Editor Dana Wood. Wood and W Mag are on a full blown vegan kick, regularly featuring animal-free fashion in the sea of forest critter coats and cuffs.

Freston shared with Dana that she buys items from non vegan designers to encourage them to expand their collection.

“By buying non-leather items from non-vegan fashion houses, Freston hopes to encourage designers to step up the cruelty-free offerings. “It’s just like restaurants,” she says. “I almost prefer to go to mainstream places because I think it’s good that they get requests for vegetarian and vegan meals. The more they get positive feedback on that, the more items they’ll add to their menus. And I think it’s the same with fashion houses.””

Sounds like a good way to approach it. 

And in the end, this might just help veg food and clothing become mainstream.

The vegan “must have” item list is here!

W Magazine has compiled a slideshow of accessories every vegan and animal lover should check off on their next shopping trip.

The Matt & Nat handbags like the one shown here are a favorite of Ellen DeGeneres and that darn veggie diva Jorja Fox even has several bags named after her!

Besides the handbag, there’s a vegan shoe by Elizabeth Olsen and Vivienne Westwood shoes made from sustainable plastic.

Our favorite guilty vegan accessory: Erin McKenna’s vegan sweets cookbook, containing many recipes used in her New York vegan bakery, Baby Cakes. 

Uh-oh, did someone say vegan sweets? Dr. Ian Smith…help!
