Your Pita looks cute

Hi,

Thank you, Ellen (and Gerrie), for reminding us of what is important -- laughing, being happy, being aware of the beauty that surrounds us. Being happy is so much more important than being right about everything. And humor is everything. You can approach subjects that would otherwise be too uncomfortable, and you can educate many people with humor -- without anger or hostility. So, to the vegan(s) and anti-veal folks who thought that sprouts being compared to veal was horrible -- it's a joke -- Ellen tells jokes. She was eating sprouts, not veal. If anything, Ellen used humor to further your cause. I'm anti-veal, too. If more vegans had senses of humor, maybe more people would listen to them. Thank you, Ellen.

I used to watch your sitcom a lot. It was hilarious.) I haven't seen but a few minutes here and there of your talk show. (I'm rarely home during the day -- and I‘m not into most talk shows.) I will, however, be watching and logging on more in the future. I will watch because you make me laugh, because you are basically a decent person, and because you bring humor and happiness to so many people. And you mostly do good things.

To everyone out there (on both sides of the Iggy or whatever argument) -- enough of these mean personal attacks, especially ones aimed at sweet people like Gerri Van Rooij. (I'll get back to that later.) Gerri, I really hope you are a real person. And please don't get caught up in all this nasty stuff and name-calling and become them.

I first came to this website (and several others) to get info on the Iggy situation and form my own opinion. I was very alarmed by the tone and level of anger -- from both sides, not to mention the one-sidedness and demonization of the other side -- by both sides. My conclusion was that there was enough blame to be shared by all in this situation, that noone (not Ellen, Portia, Marina, Vanessa, the hairdresser and her family…) acted appropriately/ responsibly, that egos got in the way, that noone acted in Iggy's best interest. (Ellen has since apologized, by the way, and that should have been the end of it.)

Even more than the Iggy situation, I was concerned with the hatred and nastiness being exchanged. And quite honestly, it was not hard to believe that some of these people might have harassed and threatened the women from M&M. I posted ONE!!!! brief comment about this, noting the nastiness and apparent obsessive nature of some fans (and "anonymous"-- or one of the many “anonymous‘s“ -- who I still think is Marina or Vanessa or a close friend/ relative). To "V" or "T" -- or whoever the one-letter person who said I was "anonymous" -- no I'm not, I have a life -- and I'm not mean, nasty, hateful or vindictive. Well, maybe just a little. (That’s called a joke -- or is it? Nya-ha-ha!!!)

To the ladies of M&M, your lives/ careers are not ruined. Go to any poll at any other site. The opinions were running about 50-50 the last time I checked. (OOPS, it's gone way down in your favor in the last week, i.e., it appears to not be helping you to keep this going.) It’s up to you whether you make lemonade from these lemons or become obsessed and let it ruin you. I’ve been through worse and came out stronger. If you leave Ellen and her fans alone, I bet none of them will remember you in two weeks. At this point you are losing the support of people like me who came into this undecided.

To Ellen’s fans: Ignore them. Don’t give them an audience, and they’ll get tired and go away. And leave the M&M folks alone. This crap needs to be over before something really bad happens.

To the jerk who was nasty to Gerrie (the real reason I‘m writing): what is wrong with you???!! I really did not intend to enter this discussion again, but you really ticked me off. Even when I listed the obsessed fans (many of whom I still think are Ellen’s staff) who worried me (which I probably could have worded much nicer -- yes, I APOLOGIZE), was Gerrie there??!.. NO!!! Why not?! Because if you read anything she wrote, there was not a mean word or thought to it. She is clearly a sweet, nice person trying to have a little fun and better herself by improving her English. At worst, she’s a little odd, but who isn’t? The only thing she ever said to you people was “be happy”. That sure deserves your nastiness. And what do you find to pick on -- her spelling and grammar, not anything she did wrong or said that was offensive. No, you are a bully, and you thought you’d pick on someone that appeared less educated or intelligent, i.e., an easy target. Coward, even a jerk like you should be ashamed of that one. I think you were one of the many “anonymous” posters, but I could be wrong. So for the rest of this letter, you are “The Ugly American”.

To Gerrie: I apologize for “The Ugly American”. I think your English is great. In the less than two weeks I’ve been logging onto this website, it has improved a lot. I’m not good at other languages. I can’t think in another language. I’m always translating in my head. Keep working at it -- and be happy. Don’t let the jerks of the world discourage you. They are the minority, even if they are louder.

And one little teensy suggestion re: pet adoptions in general to Ellen (and others). If you (anyone) want to save/ rescue an animal and you might not keep it (for any reason), go to a pound or shelter that puts animals to sleep. Even if you don’t keep it, you have saved an animal’s life. An animal already rescued and in a no-kill setting needs a stable permanent home. And noone give any animal to a stranger… for free, as these “free” animals are often sold to laboratories, used as bait by dogfighters… That’s all.

No, I lied. One more "one more" thing. About the whole lesbian thing. I'm not even a lesbian, and I am offended by a few comments I've seen about it. To:Cathy (I think) -- Ellen is an individual. I for one do not see her mistake as an embarassment to all lesbians or even related to whether or not she is a lesbian at all. She apologized -- on the air. She does not owe a personal apology to every person or even every lesbian on the planet. And to the intolerant person who said those of us who have "forgiven" Ellen for being a lesbian will not forgive this. Ellen (make that noone) does not need forgiveness from you or anyone for being what she is. But maybe you do.

Now, be happy, all of you -- or I’ll write another long letter and bore you all to death.

Hey Girl,
Just a Shout Out to say Hello, and thank you for supporting Breast Cancer again this year. I think we would have alot less cancer in the world, if everyone ate a lunch like you do everyday. Always looks so good and healthy.
Keep it up girl, no wondering you can dance all around your studio without loosing your breath. Love you lots, and hope to see you soon.

Kerry Dinardo

Great lookin' lunch....how can I get someone to fix me a lunch like that every day?? hmmmm... I would be more than happy to proof read your stuff before it goes on the web site, (like this one), where you or someone else wrote "you're" meaning, "you are" instead of "your". I am looking for a new job and this sounds like a great one!! I could really help you out! I look forward to hearing from you.
Mary S. Hayes

Good Afternoon Ellen.
You are amazing. I lmao every time I am unfortunate enough to be home at the time of day you air in my area. Either a hurricane is coming or one of my kids are sick. :)

Everyday I eat an amazing lunch. Don't eat much dinner, but, an amazing lunch. Too busy running around after work and doing homework and mommy stuff.

Just wanted to tell you that today I had country fried chicken and gravy, with mashed potatoes and corn from the cob, cut off. :) I weigh 121 pounds and I am 5'7". I have given birth to 3 kids. (All c-sections. ;)) I'm probably a freaking wreck and I just don't know it,

so.... keep up the good work. The only way I can enjoy you daily is if I pull you up on my computer during my week day at the office. It's just not enough.

You rock. Keep laughing.

Thank you,
Linda

hello ellen, this may not be the right place to say this but i didnt find another place on the website to say it so i will just say it....i never win anything.....ever!!! you are my hero, i won some diapers!!!thank you, (i am 58 years old but i have a niece who has 2 kids and she really appreciated them) Look Out Now here is the best part, i won a mug with your cute picture on it (stealing sugar packets) I love love it. Thank you for giving me the biggest kick Ive had in a while...by the way, i always watch your show.(i play poker with you a lot too, you need lessons cause i am not a good player and i win a lot on your site)

Thanks for a wonderful lunch idea. Can you make the lunches on your show sometime? I would love to see this chicken salad recipe make on air in person. Anyway it sure was good the way I made it. Keep up the great work. Have a booooo tiful howl o ween!!! :)

OK seriously. You are all taking veal a bit too seriously. So now I'm sure all the anti-veal people are going to be raising a stink about a silly joke.

The woman is eating chicken for crying out loud. She isn't eating veal.

You all need to get a grip and lighten up. There are more important things to get worked up about than veal and whether or not Ellen made a little typo with "your" and "you're". As if none of you ever did that.

Please.

Ellen,

Why do you hate animals so much?

Do you know what they do to calves to make them into VEAL?

It's cruel and disgusting.

Shame on you.

Hello ellen,
I love your show and think you are an awsome person. you have such a big heart and kindness with everything you do.
your lunch looks great.who makes your lunch for you and do you ever toss any ideas off of who ever makes your lunch on what you would like for the day? Anyways have a great day.happy halloween.

Hi Ellen,

Support Hillary!

Love, Glen and Rolando

re: Anonymous | October 26, 2007 6:38 PM
I've met Ellen. She is amazing. If you are going to slag the woman off by saying she finds it enjoyable when animals have been brutally tortured for months, have the gumption and integrity to use your name.

Keep on keepin' on Ellen!

hi ellen
I'm Keerthana from India
my friends and I are great fans of yours

My dog and I watch you together - ok well i watch as he sleeps.
This weekend is almost over.
So what's for lunch on the weekend? Does Portia cook for you?

Hi Ellen,
I would like to say, I have seen every episode of your current season, thanks to technology and digital taping. And you are by far the best thing on television!

But I do have a pet peeve, and it's using the proper homophone:) (i.e. there/their/they're)

If you need one, I'd be happy to move to California to be your human spell-check. And while I'm at it, we could have a cocktail perhaps?

Slainte,
Aileen

I LOVE U ELLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANNA MEET U SOOOOOO BADDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE I DO I LIVE IN NEW YORK I AM TRYING TO GET TICKETS BUT ITS PACT BECAUSE EVERYONE LUVS U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U TOO!!!!!!!!!!! IM NEVER GONNA GIVE UP!

LOVE YA LOTS!!!!!!!!!!

ellen,, your the best thing on tv today..i watch everyday i wont miss the show..someday i hope to met you in person but i think it might be alittle hard because i live in ky ..keep the good work up the guess you have are awesome... i wish you the best and stay safe... just keep on dancin.

You're is 'you are' so that should read "Enjoy your lunch"

Forgive me if someone has already posted, I didn't feel like reading all the comments.

Wow, another great meal , i am sooooooooooo impressed with your chef Sean , you are eating healthy, tasty and interesting, he comes up with many different kinds of intersting meals for you. Why dont you have him share his cooking prowess with us!!
Keep on dancing girl!!!!!!

Where can I get a umberella like you and Reese had on the show on tuesday? I would love to have one.

You are what I look forward to EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You are the best...My daught Emilee & I want to meet you so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the GREATEST!!!!!!!
We loveeeeee youuuuuuuuu Elllennnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey there ellen, lol i hope it's Monday already! just missin' your show lol for 2 days eventhough i have lots of stuff to do...

anyhow, have you seen the re-run of Colbert Report with Dennis Kucinich on? It was funny, ain't it? But at the same time, it was so smart!

Colbert on pocket sized copy of US Constitution: Did you shrink it all by yourself?
Kucinich: No, George Bush DID!

Lol..
Peace!

I would be very fit and healthy if I had someone to cook for me everyday. I can't cook. I am also a teacher so when I come home from work after being with 11 2year olds- I am a bit tired. I think you should give away a prize on your show where someone gets a healthy meal delivered every day!! You could do a before and after- or how they felt before and after. I am obsessed with this British show "you are what you eat". When the people begin to eat healthy - the changes in their energy and over all mood are amazing. It could be called " Ellen's Healthiest Winner"!! I don't know. I am just babbling.

I love your cook!.....aged parmesan is your best friend if your on a diet and love cheese. I put a little on my food and get satisfied as if i ate a whole pizza loaded with cheese! I think its one of the best kept secrets...well...was!

Everything your cook makes is fabulous....to bad we can't clone him/her.

Ellen,

Do you really think that the way that "veal" are treated is a joke?

This is hysterical!

Calves raised for veal are taken from their mothers immediately after birth and raised so as to deliberately induce borderline anemia. Calves are then denied basic needs, including access to their mother's milk, access to pasture and exercise and often prohibited from any movement at all in order to produce the pale-colored flesh for which veal is coveted.

Calves confined in veal crates, usually measuring 2-feet-wide, cannot turn around, stretch their limbs, or even lie down comfortably.

Scientific research indicates that calves confined in crates experience "chronic stress" and require approximately five times more medication than calves living in more spacious conditions.

It is not surprising, then, that veal is among the most likely meat to contain illegal drug residues, which pose a threat to human consumers. Researchers also report that veal calves exhibit abnormal coping behaviors associated with frustration including head tossing and shaking, kicking, scratching, and stereotypical chewing behavior. Confined calves experience leg and joint disorders and an impaired ability to walk.

You should have Rachel Ray come make you lunch one day!! (YUMMO);-) Oh I think Barbara is back again? (she's baaaack)! Your lunch looks great Ellen and is always healthy.. good for you.

Have a Great Weekend!

given the cruelty surrounding the production of veal, the title:

Sprouts: Nature's Veal

is pretty boneheaded.

Ellen,
we will have pasta con tartuffo today. You should be jealous.

Greeting from Germany

Boy that looks good. I'm coming by the studio if I'm ever in town to grab a bite to eat. :-)

Speaking of studios I was wondering if you planned on mentioning where you might end up when the lot's sold. Jay hasn't said anything nor has Carson from what I can recall, Carson's usually just back ground noise as I'm getting ready for bed about that time before I have to get back up at 6 again so I don't 'tune in' per say. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone planned on talking about it and you came to mind.

Keep laughing and smiling.

Ellen, my dear,
Do you like all that? I'm remembering water chestnuts in your photo-de-lunch, and i hate water chestnuts. if you like 'em, i might give them another try. if ellen likes, em...hell. just hell. bye.

YUM! This looks sooo yummie! Who makes your food for you...maybe I can borrow them so I can eat healthy like this every day!! Go you!!!

ellen!

loving this! so colorful and beautiful, just like you! wait... what is veal? all i see is a taco looking thing and salad...

love to you :)

Ellen, you're killing me.
"You're" means, "you are"; "your" is possessive. Not to be confused with the days of yore, which are something else entirely.
Bad grammar is contagious, and you have so much influence!

Ellen,

Wonderful lunches, what do you eat for DINNER?

TACO BELL!!!

Love your show!!!

Dianne

I know you sometimes have trouble pronouncing names...so to help you our my last name is pronounced -(Domaneechee) Anyhoo, I noticed you always have different styles of silverwear. Why is that? Do you have a specific kind for each day?

Ellen enjoys her lunch most when animals have been brutally tortured for months on end ... like with Veal.

ELLEN!!!

Yes.... we can call 'em brussels... why not!

You eat healthier than I. I mean. I eat good/ok. But I can always eat better.

Probably why you look so good/young at 50! (healthy/fit)

I drink a lot of water supposed to be good for the skin and the 'ole digestion I figure and were 90% of it... so its like drinkin' yourself!... OOOhhhh that's a grose thought.

We are what we eat thought. That is true!

I need to eat more fruits and veggies. I'm really bad at that.

Nice lunch Ellen! :}

Good eats to you as well 'ole chap!

Miss D.

Gotta tell ya, loved today's lunch selection but.... you need more pickle!! Or Cow Bell!

I have noticed, while naming off every little thing in your lunch you NEVER mention what your drink is. Why is that?

Looks like you have good lunches. I had leftover pumpkin soup that tasted like a pumpkin laffy taffy might taste, blah.

i love broccoli and i LOVE LOVE brussel sprouts, never heard of broccoli sprouts, but looks great anyway.
enjoy

Ellen-
Your lunch looks great!!!!!
I bet it was delicious.
You're awesome.
Have a great weekend!
PEACE,
KAREN

Okay if you leave a message and are not going to post your name DONT LEAVE IT! If you have a thought great say and leave your name to get the feedback. No Names are just cowards:)

Have a good day-

Your lunch always looks yummy in a healthy sort of way. Can I borrow your chef for about a month? I think I would need bigger portions and a cookie.

Ellen just LOVES, LOVES, LOVES animals -- especially for lunch!

That chicken was SLAUGHTERED and just because it was "organic" doesn't make it right.

You are a hypocrite and a fake, Ellen.

If you really LOVED animals you wouldn't slaughter and eat them.

I'm beginning to wonder if Iggy was really meant for Ellen's next "Korean Lunch".

Hallo Ellen
i think you lunch like a little bit as Halloween,frightening,terrifyning,alarming
and again rabbit food
but that brown thing in the bag,i dont no what that is ?????????
when i whas you i dont eat it !!!!!!!!!!!
only the broccoli

yes Ellen you are right,brussel sprouts turn into
brussels,when you wait long enough offcourse

now i sal say
ENJOY YOU LUNCH

I"am happy, i eat all ready

Looks yummy to me! :).. Ellen, I'd love to ask you to ask Sen. Obama, "Did he really say that VP Cheney was the 'black sheep of the family' when Mrs. Cheney revealed that the VP & Mr. Obama are distant cousins?" Thank you!

I don't like to criticize, but oh, the grammar is usually so spot-on on this site. But "you're"?? C'mon writers! I still love ya though. YOU'RE too funny not to. If you want to fix it and delete this comment, I am OK with that. LOL.

Please tell me you didn't eat the paper wrapped around the pita.
