I agree. Although I haven’t eaten meat in over 32 years and was very glad to see such a glitzy movie about veganism, I wondered who the movie was targeting? Mostly men who somehow didn’t feel manly enough just being a normal vegan-eating person, but someone who had something to prove. All we’re young and somehow they morphed into super human beings after veganism and a lot of training. I feel the regular, hard-working, grocery-buying, family with kids might not relate to this movie. Having six-packs, lifting thousands of pounds, or winning a triathlon, or football championships is not something the normal, everyday person aspires to. They just want to feel better, be healthy and get through each day. Even though I know first-hand the benefits of veganism, I watched this movie as a skeptic and wondered if I wasn’t already a vegan would this movie inspire me to be one? I am undecided. I am a vegan not because I want to look like any of those individuals. I am vegan because I want to take care of my body so I can live in it comfortably for as long as possible. I don’t want to live a life of hospitals and doctors visits thinking I’d be better off dead. Who wants to live a life worse than death?
