I have mixed feelings about this. I think the guests in the video are great (haven't seen the full episode) and I love that they show that you can be vibrant and healthy on a vegan diet. I like that they show some examples of healthy vegan food and hopefully it encouraged people to look into it further.
But I hate hate hate that they call it a crash diet, even if it's supposed to be a 7 day thing that teaches you how to incorporate these habits into your regular lifestyle it's still rather misleading. Also, as someone who went vegan for ethical reasons and includes all animal products in that it's a little irritating to once again see veganism referred to as a diet only, plus with this crash diet you can still eat meat and dairy, just a lot less. Does anyone know if that's a modification for the show or is that actually what Dr. Furhman recommends? I always thought he encouraged a fully vegan diet.
In the end I think it's mostly positive though, I'm always glad to see a mainstream show with a large audience talking about healthy vegan cooking. If it gets anyone to reduce or even eliminate their consumption of animal products that's a win from my perspective.

Vegans are basically saying, "Hey, animals shouldn't be needlessly harmed." It's amazing how many people that sentiment freaks out. - Vegan.com
