Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey can be seen for the final time today on her daytime television show after 25 years in production.

Many blogs and news sources are reflecting on how Oprah has impacted the lives of millions throughout the years, discussing some of her most memorable and even controversial shows.

In both 1996 and 2011, Oprah touched on the meat industry and vegetarianism. A lot changed during those 15 years and perhaps that’s why the show in 2011 ended on a little more positive note.

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Forks Over Knives Nearest Theater

An extremely nifty tool was creator by one of Vegetarian Star’s Twitter followers @jrhicks.

The documentary that examines the claim that a plant-based diet can cure and reverse heart disease, Forks Over Knives, is out in select theaters across the United States. For some, it’s a matter of taking the train or driving a few miles, but for others, as the locator states, it’s a matter of “contemplating a road trip.”

At least that road trip is now a lot easier with detailed driving instructions, mileage, driving time and a map using Google Maps.
