what being raw vegan?

[porolita22]

Es la gente que come unicamente comida cruda, no cocinan las verduras o las frutas, sino que las consumen en su estado natural.

[serafim71]

I was wondering...is your husband vegan as well?

[porolita22]

No :(

[GeezLeeweez]

i would not marry somebody who is not ..feel like i would be supporting the wrong doing, if in fact i felt strong about an issue..

[porolita22]

Yeah that's easy to say, but my relationship predates my veganism. People go vegan everyday while already being married and having kids who don't want to go vegan. Or are reluctant, so what are they supposed to do? Get a divorce? It's better to stay around and influence people than just to walk away. The world doesn't work like that.

[GeezLeeweez]

oh i see, you married and then you went vegan..ok that makes sense. by the way i wasnt attacking you, i just found it strange..^__^

[porolita22]

No, but I was already in the relationship with my husband and already in love and engaged. Still, I think for some people it gets worse and ends up bad. I still have hope he'll go vegan. Our home is vegan and he loves the food I cook so we'll see how it goes. :)

[GeezLeeweez]

well i hope it all goes good, and by the way, its nice to hear someones journey. I have not consumed meat for over a year not for vegatarianism but for self restrain, i felt i was over indulging in life, and i'm interested in becoming Vegan so for the past week i've been reading, informing myself and i'll see how it goes for me too. Best Wishes Porolita...

[Caleb396]

I love your explanation of you becoming vegan.. I think I might become a vegan know. I am already a vegatarian

[cujosdad]

Tell your Mom she did a great job with the English teaching :-)

I love those french fries too..pretty much anything deep fried actually..(anything vegan of course)..I think you could deep fry piece of wood and it would taste good..LOL

But, I try to behave myself most of the time.

[mikeythevegan]

I had a very similar transformation process from vegi to vegan like you :)

I've been happily vegan for a year now yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

[devilishflower]

cool thank you!

[Checkmass]

Love the video. ^_^

I am happy to hear your mum's okay. Music to my ears. :)

Keep up the awesome work!

mmmm, I love homemade fries. ^_^

[SHould13]

Oh I am so happy that your mom is doing better and that she is realising that her old habbits were really not good. That makes my day knowing that she is doing good, thanks for letting me know!!! Hugz Pao!!!

[1Vella]

About the french fries make sure you don't take any from MacDonalds. They are cooked or seasoned with meat products....... I'm not sure exactly what it is but I just know they're not good for vegetarians/vegans

[porolita22]

Yeah I know. It's disgusting. The best ones are the home made ones I make... yum. But so unhealthy lol

[cristoretornebiblia]

Mouth watering Im hungry looking at that tender meat

[porolita22]

Congratulations. You're blocked now. Pervert.

[WanderingGnome]

I felt alone and like an outcast too. It was like coming out of the closet. Things are better now but I still don't have any vegan friends in my life. (except on-line)

I hand out flyers and post stuff on the internet about veganism but would like to do more.

Something as simple as changing your diet shouldn't be so hard and one day it won't be. We are like Vegan pioneers - clearing the road for others.

Looking forward to more of your videos!

[porolita22]

Hang in there. I met a vegan guy last month, we are friends on twitter lol it is hard anyways but you're not alone. Before you know it, people around you might become vegan.

[devDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD]

U look pretty as ever Porolita but a little tired, do take care of urself princess, you are precious

[porolita22]

Yeah I'm really tired. As I said, I have been really busy, and having soccer practice almost every night after work. It's quite exhausting. Championship is coming and I'm the goalie XD

[TheVeganHere]

Your English is excellent and that is the correct pronunciation for "cassava".

I too love french fries, although I haven't had them for several weeks. I used to eat them all the time.

Also I am glad to hear your mom is doing well. :-)

[SilentEmptySoul1]

hi porolita22 fivestar  greatvideo =)

[dovad16]

The YouTube channel: stevenLOVEstephen helped me understand that its all about living opposed to speciestism and power imbalances. Now, for me..what I eat is a moot point. As I elect to in no measure contribute to the enslavement, cruelty, or death of other creatures...vegan eating is the natural fruit of this thinking. Love and compassion properly expanded shuns speciestism practices and everything benefits...even the humans.

[dovad16]

Oops! I typed it wrong. The channel I referenced is called:

veganlovesteven. His video is only 4 minutes long, but says a lot !!

[porolita22]

Thanks Harry I will check it out.

[dovad16]

Steven is listed as one of your 'friends' on your channel. That's how I discovered him.

[OneAnnoyedVegan]
