This is a DVD review of the Vegan documentary, Vegucated.
I was presented with the opportunity to review the documentary DVD called Vegucated. Vegucated is a film where three New Yorkers voluntarily attempt to take the journey of being a vegan for a mere six weeks.
Why did I tackle this DVD review? My wife became a vegetarian in 1999 after attending an animal husbandry field trip to a dairy farm for a Vet Tech class. From that day on, she never ate meat again. Because of her lifestyle, I might be about 50% vegetarian as I eat a lot of salads and soy-based products during the week.
Because of this aspect, when I was presented with the opportunity to review this DVD, I thought I would have an interesting perspective on the subject matter in this documentary. And it’s moments like this, that I appreciate the opportunity to talk about something more than fictional entertainment, but rather, something real and educational. Something that can lead to a healthier and greener lifestyle! If you want. It’s your call!

Vegucated is written, directed and hosted/narrated by Marisa Miller Wolfson, as we watch three meat and cheese lovers voluntarily attempt to be vegans for six weeks.
In the process of reviewing my screener, I came away learning a lot about what it means to be vegan. My generic impression prior to watching Vegucated was sort of correct, but I didn’t realize the additional steps they took to not eat animal related products. What I learned was that the practice of being a vegan is not only about what you eat (or don’t eat) but also what you buy for clothes, shoes, products you eat, etc.. Being a vegan is about a lifestyle of non-violence towards animals! And surprisingly, a lifestyle that helps humanity live greener and decrease people’s impact on the environment.
Yea, there’s more to this vegan practice than meets the eye!
