Oprah Winfrey has decided to become a vegan for 21 days in order to detox her body.

The chat show queen will stop eating meat and dairy for three weeks and hopes that her attempt at cleansing her body will inspire others.

She says: "How can you say you're trying to spiritually evolve without even a thought about what happens to the animal's whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?"

Did spending time at Tom Cruise’s abode do something to Oprah?

Choice quote. Sounds like she's actually cleansing her thinking. Quoting Plutarch probably goes way outside the scope of this site, but many hundreds of years ago he said, "for the sake of a little flesh we deprive them of sun, of light, of the duration of life to which they are entitled by birth and being." Hopefully Oprah will learn that there is no justification for consuming products derived from the bodies of sentient being.

Fantastic choice Oprah, since my wife and I went vegetarian 15 years ago, and then vegan 6 years ago, we have felt excellent and enjoy better meals than ever. My wife is 43 years old, just gave birth to our first child, a beautiful baby boy, and the doctor was amazed how fantastic her abdominal area looked. He exclaimed that there was no excess fat whatsoever lining the entire area (which is the precursor to heart disease and such), that the insides of her tummy resembled that of a 20 year old.
