Bill Clinton Goes Vegan, Famous Vegans, and Ellen Talks about being a Vegan
Have you heard? Bill Clinton has gone vegan. He lost 24 pounds and looks quite gaunt at the wedding of vegetarian since age 10, Chelsea.
Pretty cool!

Pretty interesting group of people!
Finally check out this great vid of Ellen explaining why she went vegan and why she is a vegan. She gives a great explanation. I’ve always found this is a hard question to answer — why are you vegan or why are you a vegetarian. There is so much to say and so much that seems so obvious it can’t be said. You know? How do you explain to someone what goes on in a factory farm in pleasant conversation? How can you convince them of the truth when you’ve seen the footage with your own eyes, but you know they aren’t going to change their beliefs, and in fact, you may just make everyone feel guilty.
Thoughts?
Damn, that IS an interesting group of people. The Ellen video is really sweet.
Thanks for the comment, and glad you liked it. Ellen seems so nice.
