For the first time ever, the goddess of domesticity will not be dressing a turkey, stuffing a chicken, or braising a leg a lamb on her television show. Martha Stewart, the queen of the kitchen, will host an all-vegan show with special guest, Farm Sanctuary Founder Gene Baur!
A Burgeoning Food Movement
“The Martha Stewart Show’s” special “Vegan Show” demonstrates a glimpse into the growing mainstream movement away from unhealthy cruelly produced animal foods and toward healthy, cruelty-free plant-based foods. “I’m honored to be a part of Martha Stewart’s first-ever ‘Vegan Show,’ says Baur, whose groundbreaking organization worked to pass the first U.S. laws to protect animals on farms, initiated the first cruelty convictions at stockyards and slaughterhouses, and persuaded Burger King to put a veggie burger on their menus nationwide. “When it comes to setting modern lifestyle trends, there is no one more influential than Martha, and with 9 billion animals annually being subjected to abuses so horrifying they cannot be shown on daytime television, I hope viewers will come away inspired to embrace a compassionate lifestyle. We want to show that protecting animals from cruelty is as simple — and delicious — as choosing to eat plant-based foods.”
The episode will also treat viewers to a heartwarming look at the blissful life enjoyed by the rescued animals who reside at Farm Sanctuary’s bicoastal shelters located in Orland, California and Watkins Glen, New York. Members of Stewart’s studio audience will take home a copy of Baur’s best-selling book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food (Touchstone), which was praised by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for being “a compelling testament to the need to civilize this industry and end its radical practices for producing meat, dairy, and eggs."
The episode will air Wednesday, March 30th, 2011' “The Martha Stewart Show”(Hallmark Channel, 10 AM ET/9 AM C – same day encore airing, 2 PM ET/next day airing, 1 PM ET)
Mark your calendars and set your DVRs. Miss Martha is sure to cook up some tasty dishes!
