You eat no meat, dairy, salt, sugar. You do all those wonderful things, then go and destroy your body by COOKING those foods rather than eating them raw. What a waste of time and energy. Only raw foods are truly natural. It is such a spiritual violation of the spirit of that food to cook it. Ditch the heat and respect the spirit. I personally am a Breath-arian. I get all I need from breath alone. I have respected the life in plants for over a week now and am doing fine.
Monsanto would love this menu: heavy on the soy (a poor choice for protein), and mostly processed and GMO. Very little in this video was "fresh" or organic. And Tofurky is full of scary chems.
@waterlilyjaguar7 I think you'r missing the point here. First of all, Thanksgiving dinner is almost never about healthy eating. There are certain dishes that people expect to have for Thanksgiving dinner, like turkey, stuffing and gravy, and it makes it feel festive and traditional. I'm offering animal-friendly alternatives here. I don't eat the things I prepared in this video on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. But sometimes it's okay to let go a little.
@librarising79 Sorry, but any meal can be made in a healthy way. All it takes is come effort and education. Your statement "animal fat clogs up your arteries" is only partially true: animal fat in large quantities is unhealthy, but so are GMO and additives. The truth the vegans do not want to accept is that *some* nutrients found only from animals are essential, such as B-12 and some of the omega 3s. For that matter, sustainable farming is not possible without animals.
@waterlilyjaguar7 Why don't you do a video on GMO, additives and sustainable farming and educate us unintelligent vegans? I personally start my day with a protein shake with calcium carbonate powder added, I take many supplements and eat many fruits and vegetables. I do my research, too.
@librarising79 Sorry, but any meal can be made healthy with some effort and education. Your broad statement that "animal fats clogs arteries" is only partially true: in LARGE AMOUNTS it is unhealthy, but so are GMO and additives. The truth is, most vegans have little knowledge of nutrition or even sustainable farming, both of which are impossible without animal participation. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is not healthful...
@waterlilyjaguar7 Vegan B-12 supplements are available. You sound like you have some kind of issue against vegetarians/vegans. I never understood how it could be threatening. I don't go around criticizing other people who eat meat or dairy, I only offer alternatives. You seem to have trouble understanding that this particular video was focused on VEGAN alternatives to a holiday meal. This was not intended as an educational course on healthy food. I'll get to that at another time.
@fuckinmars I don't just avoid dairy for ethical reasons, I figure it's not worth the coronary. Animal fat clogs up your arteries. And it's fattening, period. And you may be right about the mashed potatoes, I will definitely look into it!
@ToxicMonkies Good for you! I like Earth Balance. They also make a soy-free version, and I wish they made it without canola oil, but so far they don't. You ought to try coconut milk sometime if you can find it where you get your groceries.
The veggie food looks good, but what's Thanksgiving without a steaming turky, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bisquits, mashed potatoes, green beans, and pumpkin pie?
@MountainFox51 Well the whole point of being vegetarian is that you give up the meat, or at least find other tasty foods to substitute it with. And who said you had to give up the stuffing, cranberry sauce, biscuits, potatoes, green beans and pie? Not me!
@bigsammieking I applaud you for being so supportive despite the fact that you are in fact a carnivor. I am considering putting together an allergen-free cookbook and cooking show on my newer channel, "carilynnproductions". Do look me up over there and send me a friend request.
More vegans/vegetarians should try nut roast on Thanksgiving. It's soooo much better than Tofurkey. What is the big deal with Tofurkey anyway? It's awful!
I have been a vegetarian for 3mos now, wasn't sure what I was gonna do for thanksgiving this year but you've given me many ideas for this years "vegetarian dinner" thanks :) by the way your menu looks great it's making me hungry! :)
Busting out the TOfurky, right on. The sweet po recipe (all of the replacement sweeteners) sounded interesting. Kroger, they are the bastards who stopped selling my TVP.
i wont say everything, we do buy the cramberry sauce and turkey. but we do cook everything else from scratch like the mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, the stuffing..etc. its much better :)

@fuckinmars Just FYI, this year I'm making my vegan mashed potatos from scratch! Gotta love Earth Balance margerine...

I'm making Tofurkey this year for myself, and I'll be making my own separate potatoes with Soy Milk and Earth Balance "butter".
I'm a minor, and my parents eat meat and dairy, sooo I'm the only one who will try to cook as vegan as I can. XD
