Kathy Freston "Veganist"

“It’s a complex issue, but to put it briefly: raising animals for food is the primary cause of: land degradation, air pollution, water shortage and climate change. If we care about the planet, then eating vegan is an excellent step we can all take.”

—Kathy Freston, author of the hot-selling book, Veganist, who recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to talk about the lifestyle and help the Harpo Studios crew go vegan for a week.

A couple of years ago, Freston wrote an article that appeared in the Huffington Post on the effects going vegetarian part-time has on the environment. According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped just one meal of chicken per week and substituted it with a vegetarian meal, it would save the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as taking half a million cars off the road.

Freston’s honesty is refreshing, as she discusses growing up in a world of meat and fur, and admits she’s not a perfect vegan.

Some may be shocked to learn that while she sports Stella McCartney non-leather shoes, she still wears wool.

Portia de Rossi has written a book, Unbearable Lightness, which details her struggles with an eating disorder that began in her early teens.

Now a vegan, de Rossi used Unbearable Lightness to discuss how a change in diet was an extension to her spiritual and emotional wellness as thinking about the cruelty of eating animals allowed her to think less selfishly–an emotion that consumed her when she was constantly obsessing over her personal appearance.

“While I have never felt more healthy and energized, the most important thing that happened to me when I stopped eating animals was a sense of connectedness. When I was suffering with an eating disorder, my life was solely about me. I was living through my ego and didn’t care about life around me. I was selfish and angry, and because I didn’t care about myself, I also didn’t care about littering in the street or polluting the environment.”
