Let's face it, as a culture we just can't get enough celebrity news and gossip. Activism by celebrities then is a useful tool in getting the word out about a veg lifestyle. Veganism got a great push recently by the Queen of All Media herself, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah went on a 21-Day cleanse during which she abstained from all animal products, gluten, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar. She talks about the process on her blog, and while she won't be sticking with her vegan diet, she talks about how much she has learned throughout the month. Check out the cleanse section of her website for some great vegan recipes and information. We don't always buy into the Oprahverse, but the woman definitely has major media pull and we're happy to see her using that power to extol the benefits of veganism.
