Vegucate (vegan/vegetarian + educate); Vegucation

To “vegucate” someone is to educate a person about veganism/vegetarianism. “A Good Vegucation” is the title of a song that was copyrighted in 1997. Paul Dickson’s 1998 book Slang defined “vegucation” as “education about vegetarianism.”
 
The 2010 film Vegucated (described as ” a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks”) helped popularize the word.
 
“Veducation” (vegetables + education) is a similar term.

Summary:
“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. 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? Part science class, and part adventure story, this entertaining documentary 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.

Being vegucated is understanding what it takes to be a vegan. Why don’t they just eat cheese? If you were truly vegucated you would understand the motives and mindset behind that decision. There’s a lot to think about when it comes to shunning animal products altogether, but plenty of benefits to reap.

Vegucating The World

I like that word “vegucation”: I believe it is the name of a fairly recent film, where some omnivores tried out a vegetarian diet for a time. I haven’t seen it, but if anyone has, do let me know what you thought of it! We need to spread the word about veganism, therefore we need to “vegucate” people. How best to do that though? That is the question.
