Jay-Z, Beyonce go vegan...what???

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-jay-z-vegan-birthday-diet-beyonce-20131204,0,4826312.story?track=rss

Jay Z and Beyonce are giving themselves the gift of health for the rapper's birthday. The musical power couple are challenging themselves to a 22-day vegan diet.

The "Magna Carter Holy Grail" rapper, who turned 44 on Wednesday, made the announcement on his Life + Times blog Tuesday, letting fans know that he and his wife are undergoing a major lifestyle change in an effort to become more spiritual.

"Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you've found the way," he wrote.

"On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a 'plant-based breakfast' every day. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought ... "

Here's to you!!!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]This ought to give plant-based lifestyles a boost.

It's good for the artists and the fans who emulate them, not to mention the animals that won't be eaten and all of us who share the ecosystem!

Let's hope the 22-day trial becomes a permanent lifestyle.

Except for the garlic mashed potatoes and mushroom steak I had at Portobello, I'm pretty sure I saw the face of God herself while shoveling that into my fat face. And I'm an atheist so that's quite a trick.

But hey, whatever reason people use to quit killing animals is cool with me.
