Comments Off on Portia de Rossi “Unbearable Lightness” Discusses Healing Through Veganism
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.”
Comments Off on Oprah’s Man Stedman Graham Staying Vegan (Video)
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.

Comments Off on Jane Lynch Wants Pet Adoption Ad Aired During Westminster Dog Show (Video)
The lean, mean cheerleader coach on Glee is encouraging officials at the USA Network to save millions of dogs from being euthanized every year in shelters.
Jane Lynch wrote a letter to the network asking it to air a PETA ad during the Westminster Dog Show that encourages adoption in a rather dark, but truthful way by asking, “If you buy a dog, what will you do with the shelter dog you kill?”
“Every time a Westminster viewer rushes out to a pet store or breeder to purchase a dog like the one he or she saw prancing around at Madison Square Garden, a dog in a shelter joins the more than 4 million animals who must be euthanized each year because of a lack of good homes,” Lynch wrote.
In case you missed it, Oprah Winfrey hosted Kathy Freston and Michael Pollan on her show today in an episode which featured the story of how her 378 staffers at Harpo Studios went vegan for one week.
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.
Video editor Rich was overjoyed about his results. Rich lost 10 pounds as well as migraine headaches and his need for antacids. Rich said he opted for vegetables and whole grains versus simple carbohydrates.
