Breaking news! Oprah announced she is going Vegan for 21 days. Okay not breaking news, but housewives across America are now going to be throwing out everything in their fridge and running out to buy all that healthy shit.
Oprah and three members of her production company (wonder how much they are getting paid) are banning caffeine, sugar, gluten and alcohol. Kathy Freston’s book Quantum Wellness is the reason queen Oprah is giving up her regular diet. Kathy is gonna make bank now.
“This 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I’m willing to do to change. Don’t know if I’m going to feel better or worse, but I’m willing to try to see if my body at least feels differently.”
Her body will be different, because her ass cheeks will be permanently stuck to the toilet seat as that shit makes your stomach do some baaaad stuff. Queen Oprah will be blogging about it every day and giving recipes, why she is giving recipes I don’t know because she is going to be having a chef do it and make it tasty, the average person will just have a plate of leafs in front of them.
