"cleanses" are ridiculous, IMO. the body is not made of actual pipes that need to be roto-rootered. there are no "toxins" that you need to "purge." we have our own waste-disposal system that works just great. (next, ask me how i feel about colonics... *shudder*. eat some broccoli and drink plenty of water, seriously.)
on the other hand, i totally support oprah having any damn kind of diet she wants, including a healthy vegan one. fruit, veg, whole grains -- NOTHING wrong with that in the slightest.
I think it's curious that someone as powerful as Oprah is taking on a vegan diet, which is still considered fairly weird and fringe by the masses. But pretty soon, every mom in America will have a rough idea of what "vegan" means; I don't think that's a bad thing.
But the "cleanse" part...yeah. I'm with you on that, "toxins" are flushed pretty quickly from our bodies. I honestly think the bottom line is simple: If you eat nothing but junk food, you feel bad. If you eat mostly good stuff (for some value of "good"), then you feel good. Pretty much every "cleanse" I've ever seen operates on this principle.
absolutely not a bad thing for people to be aware of their healthful diet options. i'm not a vegan (or even a vegetarian) but i am aware of what i put in my body. i definitely think people need to be more aware of that stuff. the label is right there, why not read it? i remember once searching in the supermarket for almost 15 minutes for a jam -- ANY jam -- that didn't have HFCS in it. ugh.
