Ellen DeGeneres, from her website; as quoted in "Why Ellen Went Vegan", in Peta.org (9 November 2009).
“

I personally chose to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings. And I just couldn’t disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like Diet for a New America and saw documentaries like Earthlings and Meet Your Meat, and it became an easy choice for me. If you choose to educate yourself, it’ll be an easy choice for you, too.
