Once one is CLEAN does one then go back to one's old eating habits? I had a co-worker who did a 30 day vegan CLEANSE, and once CLEANSED immediately went back to her omnivore ways, thinking somehow she had done something highly productive for her body. To me, CLEANSE implies a temporary action.Picks Over Peashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963224077750460911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947277095635982390.post-33531800568219044052008-05-24T12:51:00.000-04:002008-05-24T12:51:00.000-04:00I totally agree, Carrie, that it's great for peopl...I totally agree, Carrie, that it's great for people to see that vegans eat more than lettuce or tofu. My only concern is the fact that what Oprah is doing is a CLEANSE and therefore more austere than the average vegan diet -- I hope people don't think they must give up caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and gluten in order to go vegan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947277095635982390.post-18044563810867711662008-05-24T11:19:00.000-04:002008-05-24T11:19:00.000-04:00I didn't see the show, but of course, I've heard a...I didn't see the show, but of course, I've heard about it. I've been reading the blog, although, no posts since Tuesday. Let's hope she's sticking to it. I watched the videos (with your chef friend serving - nice!) and the food looks delicious! The ladies seemed to be really enjoying it. There are also recipes posted on her site. Regular folk can see we eat more than lettuce & tofu.Carrie™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03326682699231189746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947277095635982390.post-58085374313132706422008-05-23T09:01:00.000-04:002008-05-23T09:01:00.000-04:00Wow, Nancy G, you're right -- this thing IS snowba...Wow, Nancy G, you're right -- this thing IS snowballing. I just checked over at the Oprah site and it has grown by several more pages. If anyone wants to check it out, click on the link "Oprah is going vegan" in this post and click on "Talk with Others" then "join the online discussion".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947277095635982390.post-26126557074499816562008-05-22T22:21:00.000-04:002008-05-22T22:21:00.000-04:00i have no idea how popular this topic but there ar...i have no idea how popular this topic but there are 43 pages so far...it is snowballing on there.

I actually wrote to the show's producers yesterday and asked that they consider having a show with vegan cookbook authors and well known proponents of a vegan diet. Oprah has such a huge following that her actions are bound to have some impact on others.Picks Over Peashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963224077750460911noreply@blogger.com
