Tips For You To Go Vegetarian (or Vegan)

[Cammydgaf]

I want to go Vegan but my parents are BIGG meat eaters so I always end up eating meat somehow and every time I do I get sick. My dad doesn't want me to go Vegan because he's scared my iron, protein and fiber levels will get too low, and he's not too fond of "save the animals" thing that peta2.com does..... any tips?

[Ominee]

@Cammydgaf Yessum. Those are all in vegetables. The greener the veggie, the more iron ( thats my rule for looking) You have to be mindful of keeping balance with your body. Protein isn't an issue. You'd have to be calcium deficient. There is plenty of protein in the foods, beans, shakes, protein bars, a shit ton of other foods. Research. >.> You need your reason to go Vegan and you might want to work your way up for Vegetarian to Vegan. Specially if you're struggling already.

@AGAVProd you could try rice milk, i havent but i hear its very good.

[SamaraNoctine]

@AGAVProd Almond Milk is delicious, or Rice Milk, or Coconut milk... I buy all of them from my local Wally-world.

Try picking out the vanilla flavored ones first.

[georgegraffiti]

I find that since becomming a vegan i am much more open and have a clearer mind. For those that are intrested in vegan life styles try Natural-food-earth its a free site dedicated to veganism and better mental and physical health

[jeniffer247]

did you say apple sauce instead of eggs. ive been vegan for 2 mth and i havent heard that but if thats what you said if im correct ill race to the store and get some :)

[p000]

@jeniffer247 yes! depending what you're making.

[killxthexdogs]

@AGAVProd try vanilla soy milk if you haven't already. i'm not a big fan of plain soy milk, but vanilla (and chocolate for that matter) is really good.

[PsalmsNmyrrh]

@AGAVProd try almond milk...it is very good replacement

[goofygopher200]

one of the things on my bucket list is to be a vegetarian (successfully) for a week... and you can't have beef jerky or the beef nuggelets or whatever if youre a vegetarian

[kleinphi]

Great suggestions! As you said, you can always be really healthy by eating fresh fruit, but if we want the routine or the "comfort foods" we may be used to, that's where this video comes in to illustrate that we can have it all, just without the cruelty.

[Laoch111]

You are the picture of health. Great video.

[yayadenial]

fuck school!

[JadeDeepFried]

okay seriously, this is so nice. i am newly vegetarian and i was looking for informative, helpful videos and i ended up just finding ones that showed animal suffering. i dont want to be pressured into being vegetarian, i already am, i just need support and tips! this is awesome! thanks

[xyberfunk]

how come most vegetarians I meet are fat, overweight, obese, with nasty hair and nails, and with sickly looking skin...

300 pound vegetarian... LOL

real healthy...

go look in the mirror fatty...your body needs certain nutrients found in meat to lose all that body fat and to stay healthy.

[gartner10112]

i was going to come on here and bash you till i heard what you had to say. most vegans and vehetarians on youtube kinda bash meat eaters but you don't. you offer reasonable alternatives and besides that, you're pretty hot so thanks.

[rlaist]

For an ideal middle ground between meat-eating and vegetarianism, find out about mammaltarianism, a diet that excludes most mammal-meat.

Search "Mammaltarian" on YouTube.

Go Mammals!

[Miikaika25]

Do you really eat those smart dogs!? I am a new vegetarian and i tried them and i think they are soo gross.

[whoknowzzz]

wtf are u talking about staplesInk??

[staplesInk]

if it means that a vegetarian lifestyle makes ugly i would eat MORE meat then i do at this time ...

hey why ure looking through windows...ure welcome so come in haha

na just kidding eat meat and you dont need glasses...haha

[anascy]

hellloo i love hummus 2 .i am a vegetarian and i think that the simpler the food the better lots of fruit and veggies ,go veg its good for u ...take care

[belladonna2007]

Its sad that you didn't mention how easy hummus is to make from scratch. You seemed to focus on pre-packaged products maybe in a bid to appeal to a younger audience and meat substitutes. Many dessert mixes contain whey and milk derived ingredients if not gelatin animal products. You didn't once mention getting protein requirements was the reason to combine grains and beans. And 90% of your suggestions were not economical for someone living on a budget (i.e. not with their parents).

[dearmissedessa]

im vegetarian but i think the food sucks

i live on pasta- not that im complaining

[bandage327]

tofutti is awesome!

[theJAMIEamie]

i eat those exact veggie dogs and they are great!

[Pseudonym10]

"I love me some hummus." I'm going to start saying that!

[CORRIGEEN71]

zombie

[minupuppy]

you know i would love to go vegan/vegetarian... actually the vegan would be better for me i am lactose intolerent and i still drink milk.,... im getting sick from it too.... :( any way back on topic... i like chicken and all the soy stuff is too expensive for a student part-time salary

[Animalabusesucks1990]

actually silk soy milk now has calcium. and honey is from bees and cheese does have milk in it. Yeah same here. I could NOT give up those two things. People that do i applaud you.

[kbjami]

Actually you could just go vegetarian and not vegan.

You can still have those things, but not meat.

I couldn't be a vegan but a vegetarian I can.

[Animalabusesucks1990]

yeah i know i was just saying for the other people.

[mdk31]

I love animals. They're delicious.

[cobhcdr]

love that bumper sticker lol

[mdk31]

It is a wonderful bumper sticker indeed. Makes me smile every time I see it.

[ShadowsOFJustice]

and full hormones and injected chemicals to jucy-up the meat.

[beccahmelecka]

This video is awesome.

I hate it when people think that when you are a vegan there is nothing to eat..

<3 Beccah Melecka

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Another great way to stay on the Veg bandwagon is to go shopping with other more-experience Veg*ns.

[maliaSCREAM]

... honey and cheese isn't natural, at all. i think you should do some research about where your Kraft Singles come from.

[maliaSCREAM]

ooooooo, i love hummus. :D

wait, the oriental powder sause stuff for the ramen is vegan? or is it just the noodles.....?

:o

i really liked your video, helped me out a bit, haha, even though i've only been vegan for about 2 weeks, I LOVE ITT!!

:D

[cesarvivas]

to prouser07:

because of milk production many cows are kept pregnant in order for them to give milk constantly. their kids go where? those small calves turn into veal. that goes for cheese and milk. cheese and milk equals broken legged baby cows.

also, many cows are kept in bad conditions and ive read articles about cows who are sick and drip puss from their utters when they are milked.

[peacebabby13]

i thought beef jurky was meat!? plz send me a message cause i wanna go vegetarian thanks bunches!

[Alexhasgoneinsane]

She said fake beef jerky.

You could also do fried fruit pieces to snack on.

[Mizukeii]

vegtables were alive too!

just as bad as animals!

[silverblaize]

@ Mizukeii:

yeah but Vegetables dont exactly have a brain or feel pain, or PLEAD you to spare their lives like an animal would.

[Mizukeii]

how do you know that? If they live, they have feelings and same damn thing as us. Humans arn't better than animals themselves, actually, now that i think of it, WE ARE ANIMALS. so...

[silverblaize]

yeah we are animals :)

but what i mean is, plants dont have a brain that process thought. look at their anatomy, theres no brain to be found.

[Mizukeii]

Still! not a reason to kill a vegtable!

Even if it doesn't have a brain, every living thing has a soul and has rights to live.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Plants don't feel pain. They don't have any will to live. Get some damn science.

[Mizukeii]

and how would YOU know that?

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

We know, because they don't have a brain. They don't even have a nervous system. You need both to facilitate pain.

Pain is an evolutionary advantage that allows an organism to know that it's being harmed and thus remove itself from the situation. Plants cannot run away, which is another reason pain never evolved in them.

[Mizukeii]

but every living thing has a right to live.

and it is still some what murder.

even though it is not ''painful'' as you may say..then again.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

You'll say anything to convince yourself that eating plants is the moral equivalent of eating animals.

[Femicide09]

@SaganAppreciationSoc Get some science? You should 'get some science'. There is proof plants feel pain, just like you and I, except they have no way to show it. Go read the book Primary Perception by the scientist Cleve Baxter, or just do some damn homework, you'll realize how dumb you sound.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@Femicide09

Baxter is a joke and a fraud, not a scientist.

[Femicide09]

@SaganAppreciationSoc Look at you, denying everything just so you can feel good about yourself. Even if Cleve is a joke, many people have done it, just do some research for once and you'll see.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@Femicide09

Also the quack's name is Backster not Baxter.

[wodaospirit]

honey: there are ways to obtain them from cruel and harmless ways. So you just gotta watch your source on that one.

As for cheese, well, I hope you're aware how milk's obtained.

there's lots on a vegan diet anyways, in terms of choices. Meat ain't all that magical ya know?  ;)

grains, fruits, nuts, rice, herbs, veggie, beans, etc etc....so many countless things. =)

[mAkKaOuI888]

wow thanks i will try this :)

[JennyTalks]

great video and great ideas =]

i have given up red meats at this point

and im planning on dropping chicken next

then seafood =]

thanks for the great vid

[WolfChild13]

Unfortunately, I am not vegetarian nor vegan, but I would very much love to be. Currently, I take small steps to prepare me for when I finally move out and can cease eating meat, like not eating marshmallows, geliton, or lunchmeat sandwitches.

Also, the most important tip that I learned from my almost vegetarian friend: take it one step at a time. Do not quit cold turkey(well, you shouldn't eat turkey, but you know what I mean). Quit one type of meat at a time.

[whykatera81]

if my girl will look like you im making her go veggie tomorrow!!!!

[jms8220]

Thank you Marta. Your excitement and positivity is very motivating. =)

[petey65203]

[ceciliaboo]

[colorinproductions]

Thanks for the help!! I am starting being vegetarian... vegan is kinda difficult here in Mexico since we don't have so much options like you guys do at the States, but I'll try vegetarian first and maybe I'll go vegan later! ;)

And you are very cute, Marta =)

xoxo, -Malú-

[brokendoll13]
