I SOME TIMES WONDER............When a wild lion sees a human being.A vegetarian human being.Does the lion reasons:: NOT!!!! I ;M WILL NOT EAT THAT LITTLE FAG
*yawn* hitler ate caviar and sausages....how does that possibly constitute vegetarian? It's myths like that which just make meat eaters seem more desperate.
As a vegetarian for forty years, I can tell you we get a lot of grief from meat eaters. Sometimes it seems like we are the only one of our kind in sight. So Its nice to see famous veg people.
Also, kudos to the uploader for including nice looking and successful Indian people.
all my friends are constantly asking me y i dnt eat meat nd how i can live without it. i've been a vegetarian my whole life nd i've never eaten meat. i cant miss what i never had ya know. im glad to be a vegetarian, i wont eat something that went through pain just to satisfy my meaty needs. I ♥ animals
i have type 1 diabetes. i've been living a raw food lifestyle for some time now. no weight loss has happened yet. doesn't work for everyone. NO i am NOT using it as a diet, but as lifestyle. i am 100% raw during the week. it's more difficult on the weekends, but i try to stay as raw as possible. for MY health. i think MY health should come before any animal. just saying that i choose to not eat meat because it's not healthy. is it wrong to kill animals for food? to a vegan, yes. but not god.
im not a vegetarian but sometimes think about being one. although i dont think that could happen coz im really bad with food and if i didn't eat the meat i do then i would have next to no nutrition. I don't think people shouldn't eat animals, but i HATE the way most farm animals we eat and use are treated and their quality of life. i tell my mum to get free range eggs coz of battery hens.
i'm beginning the raw food lifestyle for ME and ME alone. yeah, it's wrong that farmers treat animals the way they do, but what can be done about it? it is what it is. the percentage of vegan people aren't going to be able to change that. but it's nice to have something to believe in and talk with others that have the same beliefs. i think going vegan/vegetarian/raw is great for optimal health. nothing more. you want to feel good and be truly healthy, this is the way to eat. nothing more..
@finneyfaery What do you mean, for you and you alone, why else would you eat raw food?. As long as you don't call yourself a Vegan you can eat whatever you want, since Veganism is not a diet. The fact that you recognize that you are doing it for egocentric reasons just demonstrates common anthropocentric behavior associated with most omnivores, and yes indeed you are no different.
OMG basically all the well-known geniuses in history! Einstein, Issac Newton, Nikola Testla, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin. Had no idea, certainly strengthens my beliefs a hell of a lot!
I see some very heated argument here about the pros and cons of a vegetarian lifestyle. I think it detracts from the ideals of vegetarianism to argue the toss about whether it is right or wrong. If you want to do it, simply do it. If you don't, then don't.
Just one more. Rynn Berry points out in his book, "Hitler: Neither Vegetarian nor Animal Lover," that the woman chef who was his personal cook in Hamburg during the late 1930s was Dione Lucas. In her "Gourmet Cooking School Cookbook," she records that his favorite dish - the one that he customarily requested - was stuffed pigeon. "I do not mean to spoil your appetite for stuffed squab, but you might be interested to know that it was a great favorite with Hitler, who dined in the hotel often."
What is this shit? Yet more exposure for individuals to appeal to a vacuous celebrity worshipping society. Just because these 'famous people' were vegetarians is not a reason to adopt it.
Incidentally, why did you leave out that most famous vegetarian of all - Adolf Hitler?
@CrankCase08 That's because no one cares about Hitler anymore. There are plenty of bad meat eaters out there, so there's no way that she was intentionally making so that Vegetarians seem more appealing by choosing appealing people. Get over it.
@PecanSandy309 - Crap. You don't care about Hitler because you are ignorant of history, and obviously consider the lives of vacuous celebrities more interesting.
@PecanSandy309 - I'm not obsessed about Hitler, but if anyone is going to make a video about 'famous vegetarians', leaving the most famous one in history out is a glaring oversight, whether it be purposeful or not. To suggest Hitler was not vegetarian is an indulgement in appalling historical revisionism.
My comment about 'vacuous' referred to the priority of including vacuous celebrities and omiitting the most famous vegetarian of all.
@CrankCase08 It is common knowledge among noted historians that Hitler was not a vegetarian. Get your facts from somewhere other than youtube. Also, Bush eats bacon, does that mean that all omnivores are imbeciles?, of course not.
@truth2748 - Why do you choose to invent fictions about Hitler's vegetarianism? I'm well educated on political history and require no Youtube propaganda.
Did I suggest that all vegetarians, like Hitler, were war-mongering megalomaniacs? Not at all. Vegetarianism is not a political party or tendency, so why be so defensive regarding Hitler's vegetarianism to the pointing of telling falsehoods? He disapproved of hunting, animal cruelty and smoking, and WAS a vegetarian. Fact.
@CrankCase08 Again kido, Hitler was not a vegetarian. While he paid lip service to vegetarianism, he was not consistent in his practice of the diet. He was often found eating his favorite Hungarian Pick salami and German ham among others. Stop using google or youtube as your historical sources, and visit a library or talk to a real historian.
@CrankCase08 Hitler was regularly given injections of a protein serum made from the testicles of a bull -- not exactly a treatment that would be tolerated by vegetarians. Common knowledge among historians.
@CrankCase08 Biographers who wrote about Hitler (and who knew him quite well on a personal basis) openly describe his love for Bavarian sausages and game pie ("game" meaning wild meat from birds and other creatures). Also common Knowledge among historians.
@truth2748@truth2748 - That you suggest I use Google or Youtube as reliable historical sources is both patronising, insulting and hypocritical. I could easily accuse you of the same, as I've found many of your assertions listed on a single website!
Why would Hitler feel the need to pay lip service to vegetarianism when it wasn't fashionable?
What are your "noted historian" sources that he was not a vegetarian? And what sources that he was often found consuming ham and salami?
@CrankCase08 More fun FACTS. Hitler suffered from severe flatulence (where do you think the idea for the gas chambers came from?) and was advised by doctors to follow a vegetarian diet from time to time in order to calm the gas attacks. This is probably where the myth about Hitler being a vegetarian first originated. No doubt his lieutenants wanted Hitler to be a vegetarian; especially the ones seated closest to him at the dinner table.
@truth2748 - Again - more 'facts' lifted from that same website. No authorative sources, but just heresay evidence that means nothing. Those a not facts, they are assertions that are claimed to be facts made by some non-entity by the name of Mike Adams . You've just copied and pasted your so-called 'facts'.
The gas chambers were not even Hitler's idea! He left that to others in the SS, distancing himself from the whole process. Flatuence is more common among vegetarians.
@CrankCase08 The New York Times' definition of vegetarianism includes cooked ham. I suppose if you define vegetarianism as including cooked ham and sausages, then sure, Hitler was a vegetarian. But you'd have to be a numbskull to adopt that definition in the first place.
@CrankCase08 Payne's biography directly: "Hitler's asceticism played an important part in the image he projected over Germany. According to the widely believed legend, he neither smoked nor drank, nor did he eat meat or have anything to do with women. Only the first was true. He drank beer and diluted wine frequently, had a special fondness for Bavarian sausages and kept a mistress, Eva Braun, who lived with him quietly in the Berghof.
@CrankCase08 Page 89, in the chapter "Obersalzberg," describing Speer's move to the mountain, states that "Hitler usually appeared in the lower rooms late in the morning...The day actually began with prolonged afternoon dinner. The Food was simple and substantial: soup, a meat course, dessert..."
@CrankCase08 Page 119 of the chapter "A day in the Chancellery" states, "Such was the 'Merry Chancellor's Restaurant', as Hitler often called it...The food was emphatically simple. A soup, no appetizer, meat with vegetables and potatoes, a sweet.....Hitler was served his vegetarian food...and those of his guests who wished could imitate him. But few did... It was Hitler himself who insisted on this simplicity. He could count on its being talked about in Germany,"
@CrankCase08 p. 128 describes how Hitler enjoyed gorging on caviar, eating it by the spoonful: "For a few weeks, Hitler actually ate caviar by the spoonful with gusto, and praised the taste, which was new to him. But then he asked Kannenberg [the house steward] about the price, was horrified, and gave strict orders against having that again."
@CrankCase08 Finally from the mouth of his own chef. Writings by Dione Lucas, Hitler's chef, clearly document that while Hitler in his later years sometimes posed as a non-meat eater, he was not a real vegetarian, and did frequently or at least occasionally eat meat, fowl, and other animals products (eggs, caviar) & always served them to his guests.
@truth2748 - And your last few 'facts' copied from a website that was linked from the original dodgy website by Mike Adams.
There were plenty of people around after the war willing to make controversial and uncomplimentary claims about top Nazis - it provided kudos and money; to say anything complimentary would lead to accusations of being a Nazi.
@truth2748 - Incidentally, you quoted from that website a claim that Hitler used protein from bull's testacles as evidence of his non-vegetarianism. When Linda McCartney was dying, Paul permitted animal sourced products to be tried on her. So, I guess on the same qualification you give for Hitler, you can now claim Paul McCartney is also a fake vegetarian.
You really should try practicing what you preach, and stop using Google as a historical source and then advising others not to do as you do.
@truth2748 - Why should I? I'm not going to scour through the library books I've read, nor my collection of history books. You are the one that claimed your so-called 'facts' are not copied and pasted from Mike Adams' website, but come from books you've read. In that case, as you looked them up so recently, I suggest you quote the historians you took those quotes from, and the names of the books, considering you have them so conveniently at hand.
@truth2748 - Hold on there. I've already stated my position. It is YOU who has stated that you took those quotes about Hitler from historical sources and denied lifting them from a website. If that is the case, then as it was so recent, I suggest you supply your historical sources, because I'm not inclined to go rummaging through a load of history books from my past.
You are the one claiming that there are plenty of historians denying Hitler's vegetarianism, so YOU give the sources.
Being vegetarian is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Watching this shows that other people we all know and love deserve admiration for saving animals with their diet. Good Job!
Not everyone mentioned was a vegetarian. I also don't see the point of listing famous vegetarians. There are famouns non-vegetarians too and it wasn't their diet that made them famous so what are you trying to imply with this video?
guess what, meat is very important, ask any doctor and any nutritist that eating a galon of vegis = like a piece of bisteck, i fucking hate vegis and christians
@thebloddyzorrow I understand English is not your first language so I will try and get past your grammatical errors. In the US, the average doctor takes about 3.5 hours of nutritional classes, so I wouldn't really listen to a medical doctor on nutritional facts. Vegetables don't come on gallons. The American and Canadian dietetic association says, a Vegan diet is a healthy one. Hate and anger releases a hormone which like meat gives you cancer.
@truth2748 soo...what do u mean with all that? that been a vegan is good? well I love red meat, i dont give a shit how the animal die, its a fucking animal or u prefer ur mother rip appart?
im a vegetarian and im proud of it, as everyone vegetarian should be. the innocent animals dont deserve the pain ..... and they need someone to speak up and stick up for them.
@HuGeDoooogie I hate to rain on your parade, but if you are doing it for animals, you are singing the wrong song. As a vegetarian you consume eggs and dairy products. Well, the egg and dairy factory farm machine are responsible for some of the worst forms of animal cruelty. Go Vegan or change your tune.
I really think vegetarianism is the way to go against animal cruelty. What I found interesting was Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, in his video, The Joy of Liberating Animals on Youtube, advised his students to turn vegetarian to create the causes to build an animal sanctuary or shelter. This is to show their commitment to care for animals instead of just saying they care. We dont really care for animals if we keep eating them every meal!
Commonly forgotten historical vegetarians include: Plutarch, Asoka, John Gay, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Joseph Ritson, John Ray, Isadora Duncan, Percy Grainger, Franz Kafka, Bernardin St. Pierre, Percy Shelley, John Wesley, Sir Richard Phillips, Gustav Struve, Elisee Reclus, Edward Carpenter, Henry Stephens Salt, Paul Troubetzkoy, Annie Besant, Vaslav Nijinsky, Scott Nearing, Ellen G. White, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Sylvester Graham, etc.
although you posted this comment a long time ago, i just wanted to say: you're not right at all! hitler loved sausages and especially stuffed pigeons. and by the way, if he was a vegetarian, wouldn't he force all the people to be a vegetarian and would claim, that this is the way "aryans" should nourish? he was so obsessed to do "proper" things and forced people to obey every single rule, why not to be a vegetarian if this was his attitude? besides there are pictures of him eating meat.
@zuzaci - You are an idiot. There is no evidence that Hitler ate stuffed pigeons - it's an internet myth. Dont believe 80% of what you read on the internet. Furthermore - you are suggesting that if Hitler "was a vegetarian" he would make everyone else to be vegetarian. so you are saying that vetegarians are diet-fascist control freaks.
And do tell where these pictures are of hitler eating meat - the non-fake ones I mean. I'm sympatheyic to vegetarianism, but you idiots turn it into a religion!
@CrankCase08 Ah, calling people idiots, well, that truly shows your limited intellectual acumen. Your whole point as meaningless as it is, is that Hitler was a Vegetarian so all Vegetarians must be evil. And you are probably willing to argue this to death, even if the irrefutable proof is all over your face. Prozac anyone?.
@truth2748 - There you go again with more nonsense. Did I ever say all vegetarians are idiots because Hitler was one? I've been a vegetarian in the past and I'm considering going back to it again. However, I don't treat it like some kind of religion like you people do. It's the same mentality as the man-made global warming scam - it becomes a religion.
The only 'proof' you have is nonsense that you copied and pasted from some dodgy website.
@truth2748 - You are a liar. They all came via that one website I mentioned by Mike Adams. The wording, punctuation and grammar is identical throughout because you copied and pasted them.
You really are an inadequate idiot. I suggest you try reading some history that is not from websites you find via Google, rather that copying and pasting them and then accusing others of doing what you do.
Ya.. the point is.. nonveg is not actually human food.. otherwise why should people avoid it during training? This shows that people eat nonveg only to satisfy their taste-buds.. which is surely a crime.. atleast in God's view.
I don't believe Einstein was actually a vegetarian although he did speak of its moral benefits. Carl Lewis was a part-time vegan but only when he was in training for competition.
Einstein supported vegetarianism, but he only adhered to a no animal diet for the last year of his life."Although I have been prevented by outward circumstances from observing a strictly vegetarian diet, I have long been an adherent to the cause in principle. Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind."

@CrankCase08 Finally from the mouth of his own chef. Writings by Dione Lucas, Hitler's chef, clearly document that while Hitler in his later years sometimes posed as a non-meat eater, he was not a real vegetarian, and did frequently or at least occasionally eat meat, fowl, and other animals products (eggs, caviar) & always served them to his guests.

@truth2748 - And your last few 'facts' copied from a website that was linked from the original dodgy website by Mike Adams.
There were plenty of people around after the war willing to make controversial and uncomplimentary claims about top Nazis - it provided kudos and money; to say anything complimentary would lead to accusations of being a Nazi.

@truth2748 - Incidentally, you quoted from that website a claim that Hitler used protein from bull's testacles as evidence of his non-vegetarianism. When Linda McCartney was dying, Paul permitted animal sourced products to be tried on her. So, I guess on the same qualification you give for Hitler, you can now claim Paul McCartney is also a fake vegetarian.
You really should try practicing what you preach, and stop using Google as a historical source and then advising others not to do as you do.

@CrankCase08 Please point us to one reputable historian that claims Hitler was vegetarian.

@truth2748 - Why should I? I'm not going to scour through the library books I've read, nor my collection of history books. You are the one that claimed your so-called 'facts' are not copied and pasted from Mike Adams' website, but come from books you've read. In that case, as you looked them up so recently, I suggest you quote the historians you took those quotes from, and the names of the books, considering you have them so conveniently at hand.
This should be good for a laugh.

@truth2748 - Hold on there. I've already stated my position. It is YOU who has stated that you took those quotes about Hitler from historical sources and denied lifting them from a website. If that is the case, then as it was so recent, I suggest you supply your historical sources, because I'm not inclined to go rummaging through a load of history books from my past.
You are the one claiming that there are plenty of historians denying Hitler's vegetarianism, so YOU give the sources.

@truth2748 - Predictably, I've called your bluff. You claimed that "It is common knowledge among noted historians that Hitler was not a vegetarian."
However, you still have not given me any of the names of these "noted historians".
Of course, there are none. Like I said, you just copied and pasted and have no sources for proof.

@truth2748 It certainly wouldn't correspond with his sociopathic personality to be a vegatarian.

Being vegetarian is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Watching this shows that other people we all know and love deserve admiration for saving animals with their diet. Good Job!

Not everyone mentioned was a vegetarian. I also don't see the point of listing famous vegetarians. There are famouns non-vegetarians too and it wasn't their diet that made them famous so what are you trying to imply with this video?

thebloddyzorrow 1 year ago
@thebloddyzorrow I understand English is not your first language so I will try and get past your grammatical errors. In the US, the average doctor takes about 3.5 hours of nutritional classes, so I wouldn't really listen to a medical doctor on nutritional facts. Vegetables don't come on gallons. The American and Canadian dietetic association says, a Vegan diet is a healthy one. Hate and anger releases a hormone which like meat gives you cancer.

@HuGeDoooogie I hope you meant Vegan. One of the worst forms of animal suffering comes from the egg and dairy industry machines.
truth2748 1 year ago
@HuGeDoooogie I hate to rain on your parade, but if you are doing it for animals, you are singing the wrong song. As a vegetarian you consume eggs and dairy products. Well, the egg and dairy factory farm machine are responsible for some of the worst forms of animal cruelty. Go Vegan or change your tune.

it's nice to know who is a vegetarian so that we can see how we are not alone in our philosophy and how it has changed others lives.
and we're proud of being vegeatrian because we don't kill innocent things. it's not just a diet, it's a lifestyle.

I really think vegetarianism is the way to go against animal cruelty. What I found interesting was Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, in his video, The Joy of Liberating Animals on Youtube, advised his students to turn vegetarian to create the causes to build an animal sanctuary or shelter. This is to show their commitment to care for animals instead of just saying they care. We dont really care for animals if we keep eating them every meal!

although you posted this comment a long time ago, i just wanted to say: you're not right at all! hitler loved sausages and especially stuffed pigeons. and by the way, if he was a vegetarian, wouldn't he force all the people to be a vegetarian and would claim, that this is the way "aryans" should nourish? he was so obsessed to do "proper" things and forced people to obey every single rule, why not to be a vegetarian if this was his attitude? besides there are pictures of him eating meat.
zuzaci 2 years ago
@zuzaci - You are an idiot. There is no evidence that Hitler ate stuffed pigeons - it's an internet myth. Dont believe 80% of what you read on the internet. Furthermore - you are suggesting that if Hitler "was a vegetarian" he would make everyone else to be vegetarian. so you are saying that vetegarians are diet-fascist control freaks.
And do tell where these pictures are of hitler eating meat - the non-fake ones I mean. I'm sympatheyic to vegetarianism, but you idiots turn it into a religion!
CrankCase08 1 year ago
@CrankCase08 Ah, calling people idiots, well, that truly shows your limited intellectual acumen. Your whole point as meaningless as it is, is that Hitler was a Vegetarian so all Vegetarians must be evil. And you are probably willing to argue this to death, even if the irrefutable proof is all over your face. Prozac anyone?.
truth2748 1 year ago
@truth2748 - There you go again with more nonsense. Did I ever say all vegetarians are idiots because Hitler was one? I've been a vegetarian in the past and I'm considering going back to it again. However, I don't treat it like some kind of religion like you people do. It's the same mentality as the man-made global warming scam - it becomes a religion.
The only 'proof' you have is nonsense that you copied and pasted from some dodgy website.

Ya.. the point is.. nonveg is not actually human food.. otherwise why should people avoid it during training? This shows that people eat nonveg only to satisfy their taste-buds.. which is surely a crime.. atleast in God's view.
