I just watched “Vegan Love”. Did I enjoy it? Yes, well kind of, but “Auntie Lesley”’s advice in the situation (if it was real) would have been to go along to more vegan events where you meet lots of vegans, try NOT to appear too desperate, be happy to go along and enjoy the vegan community and what it has to offer (even if Ms Right does not appear right away), make some good friends anyway. Instead “Alex” gave up and seemed ready to settle yet again (despite his bad experience with Sarah “the monster”) for someone who was not even veggie! Shame!
It was just so flippin obvious what he had to do! It made me a bit cross to be honest!! He never went to London Vegans, VEG-London, Vegan Meet up, or any other groups where he would meet vegan women, what a wuss! He was quite OK and would probably have found someone if he had made the right effort to move in the right circles. I know it wasn’t real but it should reflect reality and in a more positive slant. Maybe he was being portrated as shy and someone who did not like groups but going to groups really would be the best way to go to find first of all nice like minded friends and possibly a girlfriend who is also vegan. That waitress he liked who was not even veggie, she worked at Neal’s Yard of all places so there was no excuse for her not being veggie at least, she was obviously perfectly well-informed about it and knew how good the food could be but did not care enough to change her ways, unlike some omnis who have never been properly exposed to veganism and the reasons for it, but who turn out surprisingly open-minded and willing to change once they know about the animal suffering and the other reasons. I personally thought she was the worst type of person for a vegan to ask out, completely ethically incompatible and if she has not converted already she never will! I don’t get it why you chose to make the film that way, it was so damned defeatist and negative against the idea of vegans finding love with other vegans. How can anyone fall in love with a corpse-muncher anyway??
OK I guess I just like happy endings.. and a vegan finding love with another vegan would have been better. It can happen!!
