PETA meets OPRAH

For those of you not in the Oprah loop, she went on a 'cleanse'. The amazingly difficult restraints of the cleanse? Being a straightedge vegan. No animal products, no caffeine, no alcohol (and no gluten). Please, Oprah, wasn't that, like, so 1995? Want to go to an Avail concert after you down that seitan patty? Maybe engage in some dumpster diving after the show?

Here's part of her blog about the cleanse:

"Well, I feel like I got baptized in Vegan Land today. Kathy Freston sent her chef, Tal Ronnen, to help me and three friends at Harpo who are doing the 21-day cleanse.

Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying. I had been focused on what I had to give up—sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. "What's left?" I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast—strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes. — Oprah "


And now dooce is going to do the 'cleanse'. Pretty soon well-intentioned would-be vegan bloggers like myself are going to be out of a job.
