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.

The Harpo Studios cafeteria has already implemented Meatless Monday. Could the entire staff abstain from all animal products for an entire week?

The short is answer is, most could.

Out of the 378 who signed up for the challenge, 300 successfully completed it.

Oprah Winfrey is holding a contest called Your Own Show: Oprah’s Show For The Next TV Star where viewers upload their ideas for a daytime show, whether it’d be about cooking, fashion or other issues and their clips are voted on.

Convert My Grill is a segment upload by vegetarian Justin Barker that wasn’t received too well by Oprah’s people. According to the San Franciscoist, the submission was banned from the contest twice–once for using alcohol in the clip and another for Barker using his friends instead of going solo.

Picky, picky…

Convert My Grill shows Barker and a friend making over another friend’s grill, making a homemade seitan-like sausage and swapping chicken for both it and asparagus.

The Cove director Louis Psihoyos and former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry were on Oprah recently to discuss the Oscar winning documentary and distributing the movie in Japan, where it is scheduled to be released in July.

“What does dolphins being slaughtered in Taiji have to do with our lives?” Oprah asked to give her audience a better understanding of the consequences of killing the species.

Watch to hear Psihoyos’ answer.

O, The Oprah Magazine has named Best Friends Animal Society one of the 10 non profit organizations that will benefit from its Live Your Best walk on May 9.

Best Friends Animal Society is the nation’s largest shelter for abused and abandoned animals.

Given the fact that Oprah herself was named Person of the Year for her contribution to animals by featuring adoption and factory farm segments on her show, it’s no surprise an animal organization made the top 10 cut.

The Live Your Best walk is part of a three day celebration in New York to commemorate the magazine’s 10th anniversary.

Has it really been that long?

Hats off to The Oprah Magazine for celebrating its success by giving animals a chance at some.
