A blogger at Vegansaurus was lucky enough to snag tickets to Martha Stewart‘s vegan episode.

Martha hosted Twitter’s Biz Stone, Veganist author Kathy Freston and Farm Sanctuary’s president and co-founder Gene Baur for food demonstrations, animal farm discusses and all things vegan.

When asked if she was ready to make the switch to veganism, Martha said she was on her way there, and told a story about how traumatized she was from a beef purchase that left her, not stained for life, but definitely tarnished.

“When programs like “The Martha Stewart Show” devote valuable air-time to the plight of farm animals and the benefits of veganism, a powerful message is planted in the public consciousness demonstrating that these issues are important and worthy of our consideration. Stewart has built a media empire based on her uncanny ability to influence the tastes and opinions of consumers. When she speaks about the importance of showing compassion for farm animals, millions of people — many of whom may never have considered these issues before — listen.”

—Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, and one of the guests on Martha Stewart‘s vegan episode which aired earlier this week. Martha recently adopted an animal on the sanctuary, a sheep named Persia.

More on Baur’s thoughts on his blog at Farm Sanctuary.

Veganism is taking over day time television.

Oprah had her 2nd vegan episode not long ago. Now, Martha Stewart can say “I did it too.”

With two of the most influential ladies of TV giving vegan some face time, there won’t be a woman (or even a man) on Earth who won’t be considering adding seitan to their lives.

Biz Stone‘s segment on The Martha Stewart Show has been posted to Gawker.

“One of the things we like to do is we like to take real comfort food [and make it vegan]. And this particular food is like a stew that’s really great during a rainy day,” Biz said.

Biz revealed that when his wife Livia is cooking at home, he reads books to her while she’s at the stovetop.

“We have a bunch of classic books. We just finished Treasure Island. We have a lot of the Sherlock Holmes stories…That’s kind of like, my role in the kitchen.”

Using Westsoy brand of seitan, Biz and Martha walk through the steps of cooking seitan bourguignon. While Martha is stirring the seitan, Biz jokes, “I guess I should be reading to you.”
