"Raw Food" Episode 37 - Jenna In The Jungle - Super ...

[mazzabrittany]

Mmmmmmmmm

[pfdtrader88]

raw gourmet is a fallacy, it isnt health food. it is expensive dogshit that the "gurus" sell

[Ineedmorelives]

That's an extremely expensive dessert. Anything you can do to bulk it up so you don't have to use so much powders?

[2138red]

@Ineedmorelives you can use avocados add in cocao powder and some honey or agave nectar blitz them all together in a food processor or blender and there you go. OR if you live in the tropics you might be able to find black sapote fruit which tastes like chocolate pudding add in some coconut milk or cream and maybe a vanilla bean and stir together and viola! :)

I've seen hundreds of these raw videos while trying out the diet and,or thinking about it and in all that time these are my favorite videos, Jenna in the Jungle, it really portrays aptly the sense of living in 'paradise', and the Super Duper Raw Chocolate Fudge is my favorite all time show. thanks

[aNaturalHealthCure]

Cool Video...

[zuphu]

[GpD79]

[crasster1]

I hope he didn't get a raw organic chest or armpit hair in it.

[equitably]

One's to eat raw food for thirty days just to make up for tasting this fudge. Love the open air kitchen.

[liplylips]

you need to be real active for this diet

[xthesexxx]

vegans = eat no animal products or byproducts. honey = made by bees. bees = animals, so honey = not vegan.

[maicongphuc]

do you have any ideas what vegetarians eat?

they don't eat meat, eggs, shellfish. but they do eat honey and drink milk because those 2 things have nothing to do with vegetarian foods, you know why?

if people want to eat meat, they have to kill animals, if they want to eat eggs, then they kill unborn chinks.

but it's totally ok for them to drink milk or honey because they don't have to kill cows or goats or bees for them.

you got it?

[xthesexxx]

I said VEGANS, not vegetarians. Vegetarians eat no animal flesh; vegans eat (or wear) no animal PRODUCTS.

Milk is produced by cows, which are animals. Eggs are produced by chickens, which are animals. Honey is produced by bees, which are animals. Therefore, vegans do not consume these products.

You may think that it's totally ok because you don't have to kill the animals, but you do have to force them into captivity, which vegans, including myself, do not support.

You got it?

[maicongphuc]

yeah, i got it.

[madrugao5am]

@xthesexxx Your such a silly person.Plants are also alive and in some cultures have a spirit.Just eat what you want to eat.

[r4x2]

some vegans eat honey, as some don't consider insects as animals (thinking they don't feel pain). obviously they could've used agave nectar...

[xthesexxx]

That's where you're wrong. Bees and other insects are part of the animal kingdom; this makes them animals. A vegan does not support the use of animals for food, clothing, or entertainment. Anyone who consumes honey and other insect products and claims to be vegan is a liar.

[r4x2]

I'm not wrong, SOME vegans (obviously not including you) DON'T consider insects animals, this isn't my personal opinion, it's others I'm referring to (I abstain from the consumption of honey as well), that's why I suggested agave...

[xthesexxx]

By scientific definition, insects ARE animals. You can't just decide whether they're animals or not. Therefore, "vegans" who consume insect products are pretending to be something they're not.

[r4x2]

I agree. But there are those people who are misinformed (like the dude in this video).

[ibnerdsunite]

some vegans consume honey because its NOT an "insect product", its an insect by-product.

[xthesexxx]

Milk and eggs are animal by-products; does that mean vegans can consume them? Idiot.

[ibnerdsunite]

Who the hell are you?? You're the idiot. Many vegans choose not to eat milk and eggs for health reasons. So if you're looking at it from that stand-point, there would be no reason to eliminate honey, as it is beneficial in many ways. Bees naturally produce honey, it doesnt have to be extracted out of them tortuously as in the case of milk. And as for eggs, most vegans also choose not to consume them because of the potential life factor, which honey obviously does not have.

[xthesexxx]

If they choose to eat a vegan diet and not follow the vegan lifestyle, they are not vegan; they are total vegetarians. Vegans do not consume, wear, or support the use of animals for entertainment. Honey is produced by bees, which are animals, so honey is an animal product, therefore it cannot be considered vegan.

[ibnerdsunite]

I think many people call themselves vegan and just follow a vegan diet. It's pretty much impossible to live life without harming insects, because every time you step in any kind of automobile, you're party to killing insects. I know that seems like a random statement, but do you see my point? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying that even vegans sometimes harm animals. Many even do it unknowingly through every day products like soaps and cosmetics.

[xthesexxx]

While avoiding harming insects is virtually impossible, this is not an excuse to purposefully harm insects. Being vegan is about reducing the harm of other species as much as is humanly possible.

[ibnerdsunite]

yeah, i know.

[Sallyakerti]

Thank you!

[JackNeedles]

I would love to try that.

[asitis0]

Like. WoW!

[joyisaware]

wow that looks amazing, thanks for sharing

[HealthyandBeautiful]

Looks yum! Might make this with agave or date paste to make it vegan.

[rawrawraw8]

2 questions for a person who is uneducated in the ways of a vegan lifestyle....1. why are latex condoms not vegan??? and 2. do vegans eat bee pollen??

[HealthyandBeautiful]

Good questions!

1. Latex is processed with the milk protein casein.

2. Vegans don't eat honey or bee pollen.

[wallyb77]

Why don't vegans eat honey?

[HealthyandBeautiful]

Try typing 'why honey is not vegan' into google and some great pages will come up. If there's ever any doubt about whether something feels pain, or whether it's wrong to take an animal's food, vegans try and make the most humble and compassionate choice. I choose to leave the bees their honey for them to eat, no harm done for me, bees keep the food they've worked for, win/win!

[maicongphuc]

i think you got the point in letting the bees keep their food, but in some cases, that's not right, you know why?

my family once had a small bee-farm and i learned that if you just let the bees keep their honey instead of taking it, they will fly away and leave the honey behind, what a waste!

besides, taking their honey motivates them to work harder and that also helps flowers pollinate.

[moyomoy]

Nice, yummy! looking forward to do it! Maybe I'll use carob instead of cocoa.

[bkmom]

Where are the dry ingredients from and what is the first one added? He says it so fast, it's tough to hear.

[bkmom]

I loved the video, but here's my 2 cents on the bee discussion. I took a bee course with a local keeper who educates people about the dangers to bees (wild and kept -esp about lawn care products), how large scale beekeepers drive hives around the country in winter to pollinate the foods we depend on! At a vegan wkshop I was told that beekeepers kill their bees each year by taking all their honey.TOTAL MISINFORMATION. As fruits & veg depend on bees, aren't vegans insect dependent? Bees go, we go!

[bkmom]

Sorry if my comments came off as a bit negative. Vegans take an admirable moral stand on food and owe it to themselves to get the best info possible. David Wolfe eats raw honey, another popular raw foodist washes with it! Beekeepers ask neighbors to not use pesticides, etc - often trading honey for it. They also collect wild hives that might otherwise be destroyed by homeowners or businesses. Don't deny yourself health benefits-do some research, then decide.

[geminipeach22]

Well said and good for you on being informed. I'm new to vegan but I have seen time and time again that some vegans do and some vegans don't, but still so many are going around saying honey isn't vegan.

[rawfoodkarma]

beautiful and yummy!!

[mekm411]

actually, thats debatable. Some call it BEE-gan : )

[itekisan]

Honey? Then it is NOT vegan!!!

[ViolinCyndee]

I agree! They should just use agave nectar instead..

[itekisan]

This or maple syrup (but as far as I know agave is far more environment-friendly).

[itekisan]

You can call your diet anything BUT vegan. Vegan is a protected word which is defined solely by the Vegan Society UK to give a RELIABLE guideline in CONTRAST to all the "but" cases! Also, vegan is not a diet. It is a philosophy and lifestyle. You can have an "almost animal-products-free" diet etc, and as a vegan your "diet" is of course also vegan. However, honey is NOT vegan, period.

[itekisan]

> all those things would be considered non-

> vegan if you're so adamant about it

As I said, what is vegan and what is not is defined by the Vegan Society. They set some simple, MINIMUM requirements that one must meet to call themselves vegan. And honey is explicitely listed as a no-no. And if you really think honey can be produced without putting harm to bees, you may simply be misinformed. However it is great that you live in general an animal rights aware way of life!

[TangerineTangerine]

mrjimmypayjo: Ever tried agave nectar (dark & light)? It's so tasty. When you do you won't need honey again, but the bees always will. Please dont take this as criticism but unlike some things you mentioned honey is really easy to avoid and that's what being a vegan is really about- minimize use of animals and suffering as much as possible. Since we're part of a society based on animal use & abuse, it's impossible to be 100% vegan. But lets do the possible. :) (btw, there are vegan condoms! ;))

[thrivesurvive]

YUM!!!!

So beautiful. Thank you!
