Vegucated

I saw this film on Netflix a little over six months ago. I convinced my husband to see it as well, and we immediately stopped buying any non-plant-based foods.

If you still eat animal products, I urge you to see this film. It will change your life -- for the better. As someone who used to love raw fish and rare steak, and ate meat twice a day, I can say that nothing is better than the feeling I get after each meal in which I didn't contribute to animal suffering.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'm already vegetarian, inching towards vegan, but haven't seen this movie yet.

Thanks for the recommendation.

You feel so much better physically. That is, if you are truly plant-based and eating lots of nutritious plant foods. People need to hear what a joy it is to eat healthy. Blows their minds: a lot of them think it is like a starvation diet.
