Comments on: Oprah Goes Vegan(ish)…Again http://nashveggie.com/blog/index.php/2011/02/02/oprah-goes-veganish-again/ Thu, 03 Mar 2011 21:51:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.6 By: lauren http://nashveggie.com/blog/index.php/2011/02/02/oprah-goes-veganish-again/comment-page-1/#comment-38815 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 21:51:23 +0000 http://nashveggie.com/blog/?p=861#comment-38815 They should have taken a different approach to the topic and shown more diversity and “real” vegetarians and vegans lifestyle. That would have been much more encouraging and interesting. I also think that the “fake meats” are a great way to get away from eating meat products. It’s such a norm socially and eating with a family to have meat in most American homes. For example, the veggie hot dog. I haven’t eaten a real hot dog since I was a little kid. When I discovered fake hot dogs at a Reds game in college I was so excited. I felt like I was really at a baseball game doing what everyone else enjoyed doing. Its nice to have a substitute to meat on occasion- like baseball games 🙂

In all honesty, this show simply proved that I *can* make simple substitutes that are equally healthy (if not more) without having to “shock” my current eating habits. I think this show simply increased AWARENESS of what we put in our bodies and ways to make our eating habits better. I’m uncertain that it intended to swing the pendulum from one end to the next. Which is something I can appreciate.

I’m a full on meat eater, so are my kids. Would I like to make a few changes? Absolutely. Did this show implant the seed to get the thought process going? Absolutely.

Problem is, so many of us don’t even know where to start. WTH is a Boca burger? Tofurkey? And what does this stuff even taste like? How do I prep it? Heard of it but never took the extra step to pick it up, read the labeling let alone TASTE it. Did Freston answer some of my questions about it? Absolutely. At best, it piqued my interest and I *just* may purchase it the next time there’s a sale on it.

What I DON’T appreciate is the constant push for chains like whole foods and trader joe’s to support healthy eating. Those places are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. I’d hate to think that a vegetarian or vegan-like diet can’t succeed without being loyal to those stores.

I too would’ve preferred a stroll down a local farmer’s market with tips on what to purchase, tips on how to cook it and a price comparison for making basic changes to our diets.

Overrall, I think the show did well in INTRODUCING the OPPORTUNITIES families or individuals can make to begin changing their diets. Showing a little bit of everything IMHO was a great start. It made the content relatable. Had the show been a total dive on full fledged vegan people and their lifestyles, while it’s uber healthy, the average person does not identify with that. I appreciated that the show maintained a tone of allowing the viewer to make “personal choices”.

Thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion on this! 🙂

However, I do believe that vegan substitute products can help encourage some people to go vegan. It was wrong the show focused on only those types of products in the very *little* bit of time the show actually focused on vegan eating. They should have included both the vegan processed foods AND ways of eating vegan without processed foods to appeal to people who go vegan just for the animals but aren’t really interested in changing much about how their diet currently is and for the people who are doing it mainly for health, respectively.

I completely agree. Preaching will get you nowhere but showing how easy and rewarding the change could be can be beneficial, neither of which the show did.

Honestly, as powerful an influence as Oprah is, not even she can make the average slob give up his/her chicken wings. Probably doesn’t help that her advertisers are pitching Big Macs and Yogurt.
