Oprah's 21-day cleansing diet leaves her 'awakened'

What's up with these 'cleansing' diets and why are they so popular? In the latest high-profile example, Oprah has just completed a three week vegan cleansing diet, and, according to Access Hollywood, she feels not only refreshed, but awakened. She states that she is now more aware of the global food crisis.

Oprah's diet was based on Kathy Freston's book "Quantum Wellness." To find out more about her cleansing experience, you can read her blog. Apparently, everything she ate, with the exception of olive oil, came from her garden. I can understand feeling healthy after a cleansing diet, but I'm not sure I'd say that it made me more sensitive to the world's food problems. Oprah, coming from you, that just seems a little ridiculous, not to mention a bit insensitive!

Have you tried a cleansing diet? If so, which ones and how did they work out?

By now, you've probably stopped reading articles about the food crisis by now. You probably read a few at first, and a few turned to two a week, at best. Now your eyes skim by as journalists continue to cover this problem that's plaguing people around the world. But as long as it doesn't directly affect you (except where prices are concerned), who cares, right?

For a pared-down, concise, but still informative look at what you do (but mostly what you don't) know about the food crisis, check out National Geographic's quiz, What's up with the food crisis?

The quiz discloses the answers to such questions as "does buying U.S.-grown rice deprive struggling economies of income?" and "which two countries are having the greatest effect on the global grain market?"

And if you're not completely depressed by the results to the food crisis quiz, see how much you know about the safety of your produce.
