Go, Oprah! Go Vegan!
Target: Oprah WinfreySponsored by: Care2
Oprah Winfrey recently started a 21-day cleanse diet to "jump start an inner makeover," and the diet involves eliminating all caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products. In her blog about this experiment, she writes, "How can you say you're trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?"
We say, Go Oprah! Go Vegan! Oprah Winfrey has the media reach and personal integrity to spread the word about the ethical and environmental reasons to embrace a vegetarian and/or vegan diet and lifestyle. Let's thank Oprah for embarking on this journey and encourage her to continue using her visibility to promote the ethical and environmental benefits of veganism to her audience.

Dear Ms. Winfrey: We applaud you for exploring a path to conscious eating and spiritual integrity through the 21-day cleanse diet you are promoting on your website and show. We encourage you to further explore the ethical and environmental benefits of a vegan diet with your audience. There are so many reasons to go vegan: * A vegan diet can lead to lower rates of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. * A plant-based diet uses less water and less land, and produces less pollution and waste, than a meat-based diet. * Industrial meat production inflicts great suffering on animals. * A vegan diet is a simple choice anyone can make to help the planet - every time we eat a meal. Thank you for spreading the word about how delicious and fulfilling, both spiritually and nutritionally, a vegan diet can be!

Dear Oprah, I am a big fan of yours and now that I live in Germany, I cannot see your show anymore, so, I try and snatch snippets online... Now, as somebody at the receiving end of violence and you being a rational, kind, considerate, health-conscious, sentient and thinking person, I think it's only the next logical step for you to become vegan. Please, respest other being's life as much as your own and the ones of your loved ones. Love and peace. John in Berlin.

I am just making my journey into being a vegan and while I am excited that I won't be contributing to the slaughter of cows or the abuse of cows and chickens I am also happy about cutting all that fat out of my diet. I applaud you for making the effort and I urge you to do research if you have not already, UTube has many videos, Alec Baldwin does the voice over for one of them. I learned a lot and it gave me a great reason why I want to be a vegan. I tell you that I never enjoyed eating meat as much as I enjoy eating fruits and veggies. And there is so much to eat, so many dishes that I can make, I never get bored. It feels good that I know that I am not harming any animals. I would hope and love you to join our efforts and support the suffering cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, and sheep. Did you know that most of the animals arrive at the slaughter house dead or sick with cancer or another horrible illness, than they kill them cut them up and people eat them, gross. The unlucky ones arrive alive and most pigs die from going crazy as they are kept in pens too small to turn around. Chickens live with dead rotting corpses and they have to share a wire cage in a factory just for an egg. Cows are mutilated while on the milking machines and then are slaughtered for veal mostly by having their hides or legs ripped off while they are still alive. Sheep are abused for wool than the same fate befalls them. This travesty has gone on long enough and it is time that we say no more. If animals have to die for food can't they be treated nice, good and loved while they are here than killed in a humane way? I think so and say yes they can.

Way to go Oprah. I have been a vegetarian for almost 3 years now. I stopped eating animals when I started finding out about all the cruelty that is involved in the meat industry. I had a complete paradigm switch and I have not eaten a dead animal since. I see the death of them for food as such a devastating thing and such a waste of innocent lives. I believe that thou shalt not kill includes animals as well. Let's face it animals are the purest of spirits ,and they truly are innocent, and deserve our respect and humane treatment always. We would not want our pets to be treated the way animals in the meat industry are treated and slaughtered. So what's the difference? There is no difference. I was extremely happy when I found out that you were going vegan for a few weeks Oprah. I really like the person that you are, and I believe that your heart is always in the right place. I have watched you on the new earth series and I really got to see your heart even more through that experience. Thanks for spreading the word about going vegan Oprah. The animals would thank you for trying the cruelty-free way of living as well if they could. All the best to you and yours. Brenda
