Ellen goes Vegan

So I don't know about all of you, but personally I love Ellen DeGeneres.  I think she is first of all so so funny.  She is also a very great example of kindness and selflessness.  Recently, Ellen also did something that is very inspirational to me,  she became a vegan.  I have wanted to do this for so long, but I don't seem to have enough self control.  When asked why she became vegan, Ellen replied this:

"I personally chose to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings. And I just couldn't disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like Diet for a New America and saw documentaries like Earthlings and Meet Your Meat, and it became an easy choice for me."

Even though you may still eat meat and dairy products, doesn't mean you can't educate yourself on what your meat is made from and what the animals you are eating went through.  Visit peta.org and find out for yourself.  It may be a life changing decision.
