The vegan enthusiasts and animal rights activists are all aflutter at the news of Oprah’s twenty-one day vegan cleanse, and now Ecorazzi reports that Ellen Degeneres might be following suit, with a series of vegan-inspired authors appearing on her show last week. Here´s more from the source:

Tomorrow on the Ellen show, friend of Ecorazzi and Skinny Bitch author, Rory Freedman, will be on to discuss her two bestselling vegan books. And then to continue Veganmania, on May 28th Ellen will welcome Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness — also known as the book that encouraged Oprah to take the vegan plunge. Ellen is a huge animal supporter and encourages eating local and organic food, but she still eats meat. Many people have expressed disappointment that Ellen valiantly fights for the animals and then later consumes them with the same passion. Will Ellen follow Oprah and adopt a vegan lifestyle? We will just have to wait and see! [Ecorazzi.com]

It’s no secret that a diet free of animal products is the best diet for the environment. You might not be ready to make the vegan switch entirely, but incorporating more vegan and vegetarian meals into your diet is a great first step.
