OPRAH EAT NO MEAT FOR 21 DAYS


Inspired by Kathy Freston’s book “Quantum Wellness,” talk show host Oprah Winfrey has decided to go vegan for 21 days and blog the entire meat-detoxification journey. Us Weekly obtained a few excerpts from her blog, which I’ve taken the liberty of translating for you. Oprah says:

“Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying!

Translation: Unbelievable gas.

I had been focused on what I had to give up — sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese.

Translation: Did I mention the diarrhea?

‘What’s left?’ I thought.

Translation: It sounds like I’m unloading a tommy gun on the toilet. And the burning. Oh, God — the burning.

Apparently a lot.

Translation: My anus literally smokes when I’m finished.

I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight.

Translation: Can still clear a room from fifty paces. Seventy-five if I’ve had sprouts. People are starting to avoid me.

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.”

Translation: I’m in hell, and my rectum is the devil.

You, too, could join in the meat-detox process like Kathy and Oprah, or you could just stick an lit M-80 in your pooper and give the ol’ colon a run for its money. I’d say they’re equally fun endeavors.
