• "Documentaries are a great tool for veganism

    The data also highlight how documentaries are crucial in helping to spread the vegan message. Watching vegan documentaries (50.9 percent) topped the list of best methods for encouraging new vegans, ahead of books and articles (20.3 percent), talking to friends (17.1 percent) and family (11.1 percent), and public speakers (10.7 percent).

    Felipelli told PBN: “Whether these documentaries have helped you go vegan, motivated a new vegan to carry on their journey, or sparked meaningful conversations with friends about veganism – all of this makes a difference.”

    The most effective vegan documentaries:

    Cowspiracy 21.8%
    Earthlings 17.6%
    What The Health 12.3%
    The Game Changers 10.1%
    Other 9.0%
    Dominion 8.7%
    Forks Over Knives 5.3%
    Seaspiracy 4.8%
    Eating Animals 4.8%
    Live & Let Live 2.6%
    Before The Flood 1.8% 
    Glass Walls 1.1%  "
    
  • I didn’t know there was a vegan community on lemmy.ml. Just joined!

    Per the article, these data were collected by a vegan and vegetarian dating app company. I’m glad I found out about them too.

    I can see why documentaries were voted the most effective means of encouraging people to veganism. Documentaries can blend together so many rational and emotional points from different perspectives that it may be likely that “something sticks.”
