Last night I was talking to my sister about trying to cut down on my meat consumption and even maybe going vegetarian. We talked a little bit before she said hey -- I think Oprah is actually going vegan for a while. I was a little surprised, but more curious so I watched the episode on TIVO.Inspired by self-help expert Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness Oprah and her production staff are adopting the vegan lifestyle and cutting caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten from their lives. the show shed light on the vegan lifestyle and what it means to be Vegan. I would have liked to see more emphasis on the reasons why those who are vegan decide to do BUT the simple fact that veganism is even featured on Oprah makes me happy. This woman is a powerhouse plain and simple. Millions of women watch her show everyday -- overall Oprah has an insane and dedicated fan base. SO thank you Oprah for exposing millions of people to the vegan lifestyle.
However, on her show Oprah has a gourmet chef cooking her the vegan meals she will be eating for 21 days. But lets get real here... not everyone has a gourmet chef they can hire to make their vegan lives easier. Honestly I find it hard to cut regular meat out of my life, let alone all animal products. So while its nice that Oprah introduced veganism to the millions of viewers watching her show, she should have done more to focus on how the everyday Joe can go vegan.
