Cultural Event: Vegucated at the ACFF

Vegucated was a documentary about three individuals that are quite into meat and dairy products that go on a vegan diet for six weeks. As someone who also quite considers themselves a carnivore of the highest degree it was interesting to watch people's life change from just changing their diet. Some of the things shown were kind of graphic when it came to how animals are processed. Some of the people in the Byrd Center felt the need to walk out after witnessing some of the footage of the animals. Honestly do I think the film impacted me that much about my own diet? Not really but it was deeply insightful to see how the vegan lifestyle actually works as opposed to the stereotypes most people promote.

http://www.getvegucated.com/ is a great resource on how the film can also be put into action. Stimulating others to go towards a vegan diet by allowing the showcase of different styles of vegan diets and how to create them. Overal it was a nice experience regardless of if I felt I wasn't giving up cheeseburgers anytime soon.
