We’ll round up the talk of vegetarian for the animals with some recent news.
Oprah’s back in the animal activist’s eyesight with her recent show on “factory farms”. I have it recorded but not having much TV time lately, haven’t watched it yet. Here’s a good reflection on the episode at the Huffington Post.
I learned a lot about how animals are treated and mistreated before they get to our tables. It is appalling and beneath our humanity to allow the torture of animals for the sake of our gluttony. We’ve neglected basic human decency on such a large scale, and it really does bleed over into every other aspect of life.
That’s Opera from the October 2008 O, the Oprah Magazine. Back in May of this year she changed her entire diet to a vegan diet. She didn’t decide to continue with it after the 21 days she set out for, but came out of the three weeks with a new view.
…I am, for sure, more mindful of my choices. I’m eating a far more plant-based diet. Less processed food. Thinking about sugar and fat consumption not in terms of calories but in terms of what happens to my well-being.
What could 21 days show you?
