As you will, but I dislike it when people toss around the word "vegan" so liberally. That's my opinion. I highly doubt it that she'll stop buying clothing/accessories/shoes made from animals or beauty products made from bee products (beeswax in lip balm), which is what I meant when I said "give up". Personally, I am not vegan but a strict vegetarian. I wear leather shoes and consume bee products, but I have a real respect for the people who are dedicated enough to make the trek to true veganism. I'm glad Oprah is attempting vegetarianism, but she is not vegan, in my opinion. The news outlets I've read reporting her diet transition have made a mistake in by calling her vegan when by definition she is vegetarian, that's all. Even on her show, she called herself vegetarian, NOT vegan.

Oprah is following a 21 day cleanse which was inspired by Kathy Freston & her book: http://www.kathyfreston.com/ From what I saw on the show, Kathy is a vegan & inspires others to be as well.

For me, I choose not to judge others on their level of transition as long as they are making a conscious effort to make themselves & ultimately the world around them a better place :-) I have not always agreed with Oprah & I believe that she is holding back on certain things but I wish her well on her journey!

Wow really cool about Tony Gonazalez. It's always great social proof when a rather well known professional athlete makes a change like this.

Great, news about Oprah as well. She is probably the most impactful woman in US society.

I saw this too! Eccorazzi informed me that Ellen was having them on so I ran and tivo'd it. I wonder what Ellen meant about how it changed the way she eats, she was kind of vague about it.. but any progress is good progress!

Me too, i'm pretty sure she was at least vegetarian before, perhaps this has encouraged her to go more vegan?
