Hot on Oprah and Ellen’s footsteps, America’s reigning domestic diva, Martha Stewart devoted an hour-long episode of The Martha Stewart Show to veganism! The episode aired on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 on the Hallmark Channel and not only featured prominent vegans like Twitter Co-Founder Biz Stone, Farm Sanctuary President and Co-Founder Gene Baur and bestselling author Kathy Freston, but also included everyday vegans in the audience.
The benefits of a healthy plant-based diet and a cruelty-free lifestyle finally seem to be getting the widespread mainstream media attention it deserves. The show also featured rescued animals residing at Farm Sanctuary’s animal shelters and members of Martha Stewart’s studio audience took home a copy of Gene Baur’s best-selling book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food.
We’re glad that Martha decided to include such a diverse group of vegans (a business executive, a founder of an animal protection non-profit and a healthy living expert) to share recipes and talk about the meaning and benefits of adopting a vegan lifestyle. We hope that Martha Stewart’s dedicated fan-base is inspired to make positive changes in their lives after watching the show. After all, veganism not only benefits your health, but also animals and the planet!

CONTEST QUESTION: What do you think are some of the main reasons preventing people from going vegan? (answer in the comments section below)
Rules: There must be at least 10 answers for winners to be chosen. One answer limit per individual. S&H not covered for winners outside the U.S & Canada. Contest valid until April 30, 2011.
Veganism is an evolution of the mind, body and spirit. What stops people from evolving forward is ignorance and fear. Fear of change. Fear of not knowing how to cook without meat. Fear of feeling unsatisfied. Fear of not getting enough nutrition. Fear of inconvenience. Fear of ridicule. And most of all, fear of really seeing the horror these animals must face. There are so many graphic videos on the internet, however, people are afraid to confront that last fear. It is this last fear that prevents many from evolving to a better state of being, alleviating so much animal pain and suffering. The remedy is to get people to watch these videos so no more denial is possible.
