vegan (veganism)
If this was a modern film, I’d go with:
You should become vegan.
What do they eat...V-guns?
Raw food, bro (/dude).
*the “a” in vegan and the “u” in gun sound exactly the same.
For older speech patterns, maybe you can play around with the above, or exercise some literary freedom, and try something like:
You should consider veganism. (/I recommend you try/switch to veganism)
Is that like hedonism?
Quite the opposite. (/Unfortunately, it’s quite the opposite).
Hard to suggest a precise formulation as I haven’t seen the film. If nothing else, it’s a cheesy joke. :)

Another idea (inspired by the chat):
I recommend a raw diet.
I can't eat straw!
I said raw diet, not straw diet.
*people that haven't had good vegan food often think that eating raw is like eating straw (disgusting, есть солому)

How to Follow the Raw Food Diet
To follow the raw food diet, make sure at least 75% of the food you eat is raw.

Foods to Eat:
All fresh fruits
All raw vegetables
Raw nuts and seeds
Raw grains and legumes, sprouted or soaked
Dried fruits and meats
Nut milks
Raw nut butters
Cold-pressed olive and coconut oils
Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut

Discussion
Is there a way to avoid making a joke at all? Something like:
"You should try the raw food diet."
"I don't eat raw meat."
"I never said you had to." or "That's not what I meant.(I meant raw fruits and veggies)"
Or maybe:
"You should try the raw food diet."
"Sounds cheesy."
"Cheese has nothing to do with it!" or [insert some other comeback line]
- You'd better switch to raw foodism.
-I don't practice Buddhism. [Buddhists also eat vegetarian diets ]
--I am not saying Buddhism, but rawism [a raw food dietary practice ]
- I do not use straw
- I said, you should eat raw vegetables, but not use poppy straw
- I don't eat crows
- I didn't say crow food diet. I said raw food diet
