Ellen DeGeneres was interviewed by Katie Couric and she told Katie about her motivation for going vegan.
It all started with a little film narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.
“I watched a documentary, Earthlings,” Ellen said. “It’s inside footage of factory farms; 50 billion animals a year are killed. They’re in pain, treated badly, diseased, pumped full of antibiotics. I saw the reality and just couldn’t ignore it. And I’m healthier and happier.”
You’ve heard Ellen’s reason’s for giving up meat, dairy, fish, cheese and poultry.
What’s yours?
