Vegetarian Star

Oprah Winfrey tried the vegan life before as part of what she called her “inner makeover.”

If you’re interested in improving your inner beauty without sacrificing the taste of good food, you’ll be happy to hear the O has posted a recipe on her website, Heavenly Christmas Pudding, that has some deliciously vegan features to it.

The pudding calls for non dairy milk, such as hemp, rice or soy and the recipe creator suggests vegetable oils versus butter.

“I used coconut oil in place of the animal fat that’s traditionally used, but you could use ghee, butter or a vegan “butter” like Earth Balance instead,” says Aine McAteer.

Great idea, considering the saturated fat you find in regular butter.

If you haven’t heard already, Oprah Winfrey has both shocked and angered animal rights activists across the nation by teaming up with Kentucky Fried Chicken to offer free chicken dinners to every home in America.

KFC is on the “naughty” and not “nice” list with organizations like PETA, due to the way the chickens it uses are treated.

Now, we can add one more sin Oprah is contributing to now that she’s signed a pact with the Colonel devil: swine flu.

Jane Velez-Mitchell and Dr. Gregor of the HSUS said it best: the conditions in factory farms like the ones KFC chickens are kept in are the hub for breeding diseases.

Brian Merchant at Treehugger.com has this to say on the matter:

“I was dismayed to hear that Oprah was helping to push KFC’s free chicken promotion. Wasn’t quite sure why, initially—after all, ‘free food for everyone’ is generally a pretty positive notion. But then I recalled that KFC buys its chicken from Tyson—one of the US’s biggest factory farmers and perpetrator of shady health practices. And then I remembered that Oprah herself did an expose on the cruelty of factory farms , essentially condemning them. And then I realized that the ploy couldn’t have come at a worse time: US factory farms have been confirmed to have played a role in the origin of swine flu.”

“The point isn’t that Oprah screwed up–it’s that we should all be more aware of the practices that lead to the food on our table (or in the takeout window).”

If Oprah Winfrey had a Pinocchio nose, it would stretch taller than the height of her condo’s building.

Awhile back, Miss O. did a documentary on chicken factory farm abuse.

Maybe she gave all the chickens prizes like she does to her audience members and now they don’t mind being boiled. She has no problem making the abused chickens martyrs as she’s announced she’s giving every family in America a free 2-piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken Meal.

How could she? After all, it was her involvement with so many animal rights issues that won her the love of PETA and it’s Person of the Year title she enjoyed scooting Obama out of the spotlight to share.

Could it be that Oprah is just trying to do something to feed hungry, credit crunched America and has completely forgotten PETA’s ongoing beef with KFC due to its treatment of chickens?

Whatever her reasons, she could have done much better. Coupons for Subway would have at least given people the option of  a much healthier and less cruel Veggie Max Patty or Veggie Delight Sandwich.

What other ways could O have treated America and chickens right?

Although neither Simon Cowell nor Oprah Winfrey are vegetarians, both have experimented with it. Simon tried a vegetarian diet for 1 week and loved Linda McCartney’s meatless sausages. Oprah did a 21 day vegan cleanse with a little advice from author Kathy Freston. Sure would be nice if both of them went back to it. So between the two stars who publicly gave the veggie life a try, who would you rather do…
