Vegucated . . .


Another film about veganism?! I can hardly keep up! Here's the trailer and a synopsis of the film . . .



Vegucated is a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. There’s Brian, the bacon-loving bachelor who eats out all the time, Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on their plates. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.

But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets?

Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.

So you’ve seen the film, and you’re ready to make changes in your lifestyle. Congrats! You’re here, you’re ready, you rock!

And we want to help you by sending free tips and tricks for adopting a more plant-based lifestyle. We’re taking what we learned from our popular, free 1300-member-strong Vegan at Heart email coaching program and are upping the ante. When you take the Vegucated Challenge, you have two options:

Go Vegan for a Month – Take the vegan plunge and eat only plant foods every day for four weeks

-or-

Go Vegan within a Month - Phase out one animal food group each week until you’re vegan by week four.

As a subscriber, you will receive one vegan “challenge” in your inbox every day for four weeks that shares a tip or resource. These challenges take only one to ten minutes to complete. After the four weeks, you will receive weekly challenges for all of eternity…or as long as we’re able to send them…or until you unsubscribe.
We  plan to launch this program on the official film release date. In the meantime, feel free to subscribe to Vegan at Heart, which was featured on Oprah.com and selected as a GirlieGirl Army “Best Of.” Feel free to read some member testimonials. Sign up for Vegan at Heart now!
