Here is the Alicia Silverstone Oprah video of her Jan. 27, 2010 appearance and interview, discussing ‘The Kind Diet,’ her new book, detailing her transition to a vegan diet and lifestyle. She was featured on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show devoted to food safety and food processing entitled Food 101, with additional segments featuring the documentary Food, Inc. and best-selling author of ‘Food Rules’, Michael Pollan. Details and video are below after the jump.
The actress rose to fame in the 1990s with her appearance in movie Clueless. As she reveals, she confronted health issues including asthma, acne, insomnia, and constipation. Through changing from a “steak and doughnut diet” to a vegan diet, three years after appearing in the 1995 movie, she reveals she was able to overcome her health issues. She said:
“I used to have all those white marks on my nails and they were very brittle, and now they’re so strong I cannot bend them. My eyes got really white, and I feel like I look less puffy.”
She also discussed her lifelong history as an animal lover and noted that seeing a film on how animals are slaughtered was a turning point:
“I just took a look at my dog and said, ‘If I’m not willing to eat you, how can I continue to eat these other creatures that have the same desire to live, are just as funny, just as cute as my dogs?’”
