Vegetarian Star

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.

Between the two non-vegan hosts who dedicated an entire show to veganism, who would you rather…

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.

A good  portion of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” where Oprah‘s staff went vegan for a week is now posted online.

Scenes of Oprah’s staff eating vegan in the Harpo cafeteria, getting coached by Kathy Freston, the discussion with Michael Pollan and Lisa Ling‘s glimpse into a meat processing plant are all included.

Cargill, one of the largest producers of meat products, agreed to let the cameras behind the scenes when 20 other producers refused.

There was only one graphic part that was not allowed to be shown on camera, and that was stunning the cow before it was slaughtered. However, Ling’s reaction to the ordeal was caught on camera. And it does say much.

Although we’re disappointed that Oprah Winfrey won’t be sticking to her vegan diet the second time around either, we’re happy to report her longtime partner Stedman Graham told her he’d like to continue.

“I’m not ready to commit to the whole thing,” Oprah said. “But this morning, Stedman said that he wanted to continue and I go, ‘Well, go right ahead with yourself.'”

Stedman is a professor and businessman who’s been paid several thousand dollars for giving speeches on his area of expertise.

Oprah Winfrey impressed us a little when she went on a 21-day vegan cleanse a couple of years ago on the advice of author Kathy Freston.

Now, O has given the diet another try and she gave the order to 378 of her employees at Harpo to do the same.

Some have accused Oprah Winfrey of being an attention fiend.

And she does push herself in the spotlight frequently, from her support to certain political candidates to letting everyone know what book she’s cuddling up with instead of Stedman for the week. She has her face on the cover of every one of her magazines, for goodness sake.

But attention fiends can be good, especially if they’re garnishing it for the right reasons. And that’s exactly why the U.S. division of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has chosen her as Person of the Year 2008.

She’s used her power to draw attention to a variety of animal abuse. After following a plea on a billboard in Chicago to do a show on puppy mills, she aired an episode that featured undercover footage of horrible conditions at one located in Pennsylvania. Her audience also got to see the torture that chickens, pigs, and veal calves endure in conventional factory farms.

Earlier this year in April, she dedicated an episode of her show to her late cocker spaniel.

Let’s not forget, she went vegan for 21 days and told the world about it!

Hats off to Oprah. Good thing Time Magazine’s Person of The Year,  Barack Obama, is a slender man. He definitely needs to make room for some other great people in the spotlight.

Oprah has been in the news lately, talking about her weight gain of 40 pounds, saying she’s “embarrassed,” by the situation and “mad at herself.”

In her January issue of “O”, the magazine in which she always appears on the cover, she writes, “I’m mad at myself.  I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me.”

Sounds like she could use the help of some vegan Skinny Bitches!

Someone needs to remind O that a vegan and vegetarian diet is not only healthier, but can help you shed bad fat all while reducing your chances of developing obesity related diseases like diabetes.

She been here before. Last spring, on the advice of author Kathy Freston, Oprah, went vegan for 21 days as part of a detox and cleanse routine.

So come on, O! Take the sunglasses off and stop hiding in shame. Come back over to the veg side!

Not only would Oprah say see ya to the extra 40, but she could finally end years of yo-yo dieting as being vegetarian and vegan is about a lifestyle-not a prescribed formula for eating.

Not to mention she could finally grant Alicia Silverstone her wish and do a naked ad promoting vegetarianism.

Some things are just too creepy. In an interview almost a year ago, Alicia Silverstone said she wanted to see Oprah naked…

But that’s not the creepy part, though, ha, ha. You see, Alicia was talking about her passion for vegetarianism and how she wanted to see such a famous and powerful person like Oprah go vegetarian because of the sheer influence the talk show diva has.

“I would love to see Oprah naked — that’s a goal for me,” she said. “It would be great if she became a vegetarian; she is a very powerful woman and would really get the message across.” Silverstone was referring to Oprah taking a stance on vegetarianism by posing nude for PETA, like herself and many other celebrities have done.

In case, you didn’t know, Oprah went vegan. But only for 21 days as part of a detox process. But she reported to have enjoyed both the experience and the food.

Now for the creepy part. How could Alicia Silverstone be so psychic? Oprah went vegan months after Silverstone made her statement. Are we in store for a nude Oprah soon?

It would be great if she returned to at least some form of vegetarianism again, or even vowed to reduce meat and made it one of her Oprah campaigns, along with designer lip gloss, book clubs, and dozens of other trends she starts and somehow makes millions of women (and men) follow. Is Oprah the next nude pin up for PETA posters? We’ll be on the lookout for more Alicia Silverstone predictions, as this girl seems to be getting all too good at them.
