Oprah Winfrey and 378 Staffers Go VEGAN:
The One-Week Challenge!
Today on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah and 378 staffers will take a one-week vegan challenge. This is an historic time for the vegan movement when one of the country's most popular talk show hosts will highlight vegan living on her show!
The show features vegan advocate and author Kathy Freston. Her book, Quantum Wellness, was part of the inspiration for Oprah's 21-day vegan cleanse back in 2008. Kathy's newest book Veganist provides further inspiration for Oprah and her staff to take a one week vegan challenge. In addition, viewers will get a glimpse inside a beef processing plant from reporter Lisa Ling.  We thank The Oprah Winfrey Show for bringing the topic of veganism to millions of viewers! It is our hope that she and her staff extend their vegan challenge much longer than one week. Popular talk show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres are very outspoken about living vegan, so we hope Oprah will find the same inspiration. Please send positive feedback to Oprah and her producers about airing the show and let them know topics like this are appreciated.
You can check local listings for show air times in your area. If you miss the live airing of the show, you may be able to see the segment at a later date on Oprah's website or on Hulu.com. To see a preview of today's show, click here. |
