Vegetarian Star

Robin Quivers took a break from filming her web-based cooking show, Vegucating Robin, to blog at the Huffington Post on Oprah‘s most recent vegan stint.

Quivers’ post highlights how the several hundred Harpo staffers that went vegan with Oprah may have alleviated some of the most common medical problems caused by diets, if only for the short duration they stuck to the diet. She reminds readers that even the United States government is now telling people eating a more plant-based diet may go a long way to maintaining good health.

It’s not known how many of Oprah’s staffers continued the diet after the challenge was met. But Quivers hopes many at home who watched the episode will continue the course, seeing how taking control of one’s own health through the food he or she eats may do more than any discovery in the medical or biotech lab.

I hope that many of the people who participated in this experiment noticed at least some of these positive effects and wanted to continue. It’s great that the people of Harpo took this on and reported their results to the audience. Let’s continue the dialogue; we need to stop leaving it to the food manufacturers and the pharmaceutical companies and remember that we are responsible for our own health and well-being.

Some researchers estimate we could save billions in medical costs by adopting a plant-based diet.

And the big food related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease aren’t the only consequences that occur when people stop taking responsibility for health, as conditions like joint disorders and cancer have also been linked to obesity caused by poor diets.

Quivers took control of her health a few years ago when she adopted a vegan diet and lost 70 pounds.
