A couple of days after Oprah announced on her show last week that she was trying a vegan diet for 21 days, Ellen DeGeneres’s program featured the authors of Skinny Bitch, a bestselling book that advocates veganism.  (One of the book’s authors, Rory Freedman, was a special guest at our May 17th Gala in New York City.)  Ellen described how the book changed her life, including how she’s lost weight and feels great. It is exciting to see mainstream entertainment icons such as Oprah and Ellen on network television discussing the importance of making sensible and conscientious food choices.  Here’s hoping that millions of viewers will follow their examples.
