I want to give a big shout-out to Ellen DeGeneres for being such a strong voice for the voiceless! Since going vegan years ago, Ellen has been extremely vocal about her reasons and dedicated to spreading the word and helping others get on the path of compassion and health. Since her interview with Katy Couric several years ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-4j6vSyDu0) Ellen has made it a point to do interviews with other vegan celebrities such as Bill Clinton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N6SbPolnd4&list=PL0750DC26D579C835&index=1) and Kathy Freston (http://www.ellentv.com/2012/03/19/kathy-freston-talks-healthy-eating/). She did an amazing job when she was on the Rachel Ray show, demonstrating her ability to share her knowledge and experiences in a way that doesn’t alienate people (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_wCA2AH3dg). A large part of her website is also devoted to vegan tips, news, recipes, etc. GO ELLEN! Keep up the great work!!!
Shout-Out to Ellen DeGeneres

ellen isn’t vegan, she eats eggs.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention Jessy! I have to say, I’m a little bummed. I still want to give Ellen props for all that she does do to educate the public about factory farming and provide people with lots of good vegan-related information through tv and her website. At the same time, it is disappointing that she has been misleading about her own veganism. This post, although harsh, gives a good explanation of the situation. http://supervegan.com/blog/why-it-matters-that-ellen-degeneres-eats-eggs/ Again, I still want to give Ellen credit for the things she has done to promote a vegan diet over the years. We need more celebrities giving voice to the voiceless!
