Guess who decided to follow in Oprah's footsteps and do a 21-day vegan cleanse?
None other than my hero and personal savior, Heather B. Armstrong of Dooce.com fame. Until this point the only thing Heather and I have ever disagreed about was bacon, and so for the next 21 days, I guess I can safely say she rocks times about 20. 20 million.
For those of you who don't know, Heather is one of the country's most well known bloggers. I think she actually got rated in the top 10 most powerful blogs this year, right behind the Huffington Post. She's a kick-ass amazing woman, and I've been addicted to her blog for the past two years. I actually got to 'meet' her about two weeks ago at a book signing and I'm still completely twitter-pated, and now this? My week just got awesome.
Since she's obviously not just doing this for health reasons (if you read her post, linked above, you'll see where she notes she's thinking of being a veggie permanently) it'd be great if everyone could go and leave her comments for support - there are a couple people who have left quasi-moron comments about how asparagus feels pain and how small-time cattlemen are actually really nice to the animals whose lives they remove. Think of how nice it'd be to see hundreds of vegans supporting her and providing accurate information.
