Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi Go Vegan!
Ellen Degeneres is all about championing good causes. So I'm actually kind of surprised that it's taken her this long to make the switch! Her wife, Portia de Rossi, recently made the announcement the happy couple is switching over their eating habits to be 100% vegan.They're both huge animal lovers, but this is a big change. You have to be very careful to make sure your body is still receiving the necessary nutrients it needs. However, when you have millions of dollars and chefs at your disposal to come up with tasty and healthy vegan recipes, that seems like it would definitely help with the transition.
As for the rationale behind going vegan, Portia says, "When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, 'Why is a fox any more important than a cow?' We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can."
And, if you're watching the Ellen Show and you happen to think she looks a whole lot smaller, you'd be right. Ellen has been losing weight. That's just an added bonus of the whole deal!
