[KLS52]

Saw this on FB this morning. I love her.

I love Ellen, and I love this clip. I'll be sharing it on my FB today.

 

[Digger]

Ellen is just too cool for school... on so many counts.

if this is an Ellen love thread, i'm all in.
here's her giving the best commencement speech ever (starts at 1:34) in 2009 at Tulane University in New Orleans and then receiving an award after:

A young woman I work with said she watched the clip on my FB page and was very upset...she's starting to make "the connection" and is seriously considering becoming s vegetarian. She couldn't stop talking about it all afternoon...I was glad.

Enjoyed the original clip thanks for sharing xxx

Love Ellen. She seems to always slip in talking about veganism in some way during each show.

The interviewing women seemed quite nervous/awkward about talking about it, I think maybe she was worried she'd say the wrong thing!

I liked it. I don't know lots about her, I know a little... I'm not really up on celebrities. I cringed a bit about the stuff to do with energy... but otherwise very sensible, honest, but without seeming "pushy". It's a difficult to walk the line between being honest about how you feel about animal rights/welfare without being pushy or judgmental. In general it's quite difficult to be able to say you disagree with something a person/most people do on a daily basis without antagonising them. But I think she got it just right.

"Food Inc was a Disney movie compared to Earthlings."

Damn she's good. Love this. She does such a great job articulating the cause.

I hope lots of people choose to become vegan because of her. I am sure they did.
