Veganism spotlighted on super mainstream TV shows: Oprah, Ellen, Extra!
Lisa Ling Reports: How We Treat the Animals We Eat on Oprah
Tuesday, October 14, Oprah covered "How We Treat the Animals We Eat." Go to http://www.oprah.com/index . On the screen on the rights side of your screen, click on "Tue" to see the promo video. You'll see footage of horrendous battery cages and sow gestation crates, and hear HSUS's Wayne Pacelle saying "The issue is the decency toward the animals." He is no doubt talking about California's Proposition 2, which would ban some of the most heinous caging. To read more; http://www.oprah.com/dated/oprahshow/oprahshow_20081008_animals

Ellen Degeneres goes Vegan!
Along with Oprah and millions of people across the country, Ellen read all about a healthy, compassionate diet in the popular book, Skinny Bitch. She then began inviting vegan chefs, featuring vegan menus, and interviewing vegan writers and activists on her daytime talk show. Then she had a full vegan wedding! Now, after hosting a benefit party for Proposition 2 in California to eliminate caging animals raised for food, Ellen announced her conversion to veganism!
With big celebrities like Oprah and Ellen being more food conscious, more and more people are learning about the treatment of farmed animals and delicious vegan alternatives. One by one, compassionate individuals are becoming inspired to make changes for the better. Congratulations to all of you for making a difference in this world!
