After announcing that she wants to try her hand at a vegan lifestyle on The Ellen DeGeneres show, Meredith Vieira has finally taken the plunge.
After her appearance, Vieira received a copy of Paul McCartney's book on slaughterhouses, Glass Walls, from PETA along with a vegetarian/vegan starter kit and The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen. It seems PETA's generosity helped Vieira make the switch.
"I've done a lot of stories on the way food is, you know, processed in this country -- animals -- and it's very disturbing," she said.
