Ginnifer Goodwin’s story of veganism is featured on Oprah Winfrey’s website in the Aha! Moment section where celebrities discuss memorable moments or make crucial decisions in their lives
Goodwin says growing up she always considered the animals on her grandmother’s farm as family
But her Aha! moment came when she realized over breakfast she could no longer consume those animals.
“For most of my life I naively lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets; a family dinner always meant steak. Then one day a year and a half ago, it hit me over the head while I was making a hearty breakfast that it wasn’t, in the grand scheme of earthly things, intended for me. What would happen to my body, to my soul, if I did not consume an animal or anything taken from an animal? So I educated myself. I relinquished the safety blanket of my ignorance.”
