I wish my parents where vegan or at least vegetarian. My mom told me the other day on my 43rd day of being vegetarian that I should go back to eating meat. I told her no because i have felt so great since and I get 3 hours of sleep( Im a night person) and im hyper everyday!
@CenturianRule You are complaring eating meat...some fried chicken... to slavery and thinking the world is flat. LOL No moron, they are not similar even as popular beliefs go! You are immature and choose to look at life like a child. grow up. I am done trying to communicate with a juvinile.

@CenturianRule lol sorry, its the other way around...give it a few years and the "vegan" fad will end. Most of the world IS and always will be.....omnivores....eating a variety of things including meat!
Yuk! My digestive system, including my teeth are set up to be omnivore! Science, not "folk stories" proves this beyond doubt. 2/3 of any vegetarians or vegans I've ever met do not have a very "sharp" mind because somethings missing. It would be a different story if our bodies were built differently, but they're not.
@blinkme478 An exceedingly small sample such as only yourself proves absolutely nothing. Wait, it does prove you are not very well versed in Scientific Method or you would have realized that such an extremely minute sample is meaningless. Proves my point. A cloudy mind. A Sharp mind would never even think of using your argument. Never.
@jarvila2 Simmer down, sunshine. I know that you can't use one case as an example, that you have to cross reference with other sources. But just because you happen to know a bunch of dumb ass veggies doesn't prove anything. I may be the only vegan in my school, but there are five other girls in my grade who are vegetarian; all of them are active members of the school.
Wow, Ally has great overall health, beautiful skin, vitality, a peaceful aura, and a sleek body. I've known this of all the "lifelong" vegans I've encountered. It's gotta be more than coincidence. I've never met any human who consumed animals &/or animal products their whole lives (whether relatively young or old in years) who were even half as radiant & well!
@wrenbrrd I like the idea of being a vegan,I'm not though,but I think ~75%of one's condition/appearance/look is all about genetics.I'm a natural"bodybuilder"and it doesn't even matter what I eat or whether I regularly work out or not or even if at all -I will be this certain weight all the time like from 17 to present day (32),haven't even gained or lost a pound of bodyweight,just gained strength and a cut muscle frame qualitywise.I agree with you that she is a bright physical example of a vegan
As much as meat eater want to convince themselve that meat is healthy and veganism is unnatural and unhealthy it can't face up to the fact that there as been many life long healthy vegetarians and now we're starting to see life long healthy vegans too!
Google jake shield and Ben Schosha two life long vegetarians who are stronger than most meat eaters.
Go and inform yourself on the limits of animal-based-foods agriculture, because, amongst others, the growing number of affluent middle-classes in Newly Industrialized Countries such as the BRIC/S countries. Make sure you take a snapshot of your lol before you do...
Veganism will happen very soon an a very large, global scale, not because we've managed to remove speciesism, but because there are trite physical limitations of how many plants fit on a field.
What a rather pompous statement. My mate is a Vegan, I agree with the vast amount of what he says. However, I disagree that the future will be a fully vegan diet. It will be a much higher vegetable enriched diet than this modern 80% meat, 19% caffeine, or junk, and, 1% everything else. I still highly doubt it will be a Vegan (no animal product for consumption or in total?) society.

I think the reason most people eat meat is because they don't think about what it is when they eat it. Why do I think this? Well, sometimes, when I'm eating with a friend, I'll ask them, "What's that?" and they get uncomfortable and tell me to shut up. Ironically, they often ask me what I'm eating and I just tell them.

I wish my parents had brought me up vegan from birth but unfortunately they didn't. My only consolation is that I know I came to veganism on my own and no-one else 'told me to'.
Many people assume I must have watched a video on youtube etc but there was no internet 34 years ago. I just found out that meat was animal flesh and that was enough.
@marcluc1988 You sound so self rightious and full of yourself its funny. You are an immature moron. Don't want to eat meat? Who cares, just don't try to force your ideas on others. Then your just another idiodic facisct.
Most times when someone is insanely optomistic about anything, be it the Vegancult diet, political parties, actors, politicians...etc, etc, they have become an ideologue on the subject. You cannot talk sense to ideologues, waste of time. Just watch Msnbc and you will see them all day, same thing with followers of the Vegancult diet.
@marcluc1988 Uh, no you are wrong. I have never been to war, but....I know it can be quite horrible. Eating meat is natural, man is an omnivore. When early man had to live a brutal existence, he would have withered and died on a Vegancult diet. One of the reasons man evolved is due to the energy provided by meat....not tofu or seaweed. I think most Gays eat meat, they not members of the Vegancult.
Some ppl can be extremely healthy being vegan, some can be extremely healthy eating a lot of meat, most need both veggies and meat in a balanced diet, moderation. But to try to say everyone should be vegan is just stupid. Its like saying everyone should eat meat, find what works for your body and stop telling others how to eat.

@Morethanenough1 If you did a 10 year study on 100 people on animal-only food and 100 people on plant-only food, I can guarentee you the plant-only eaters would be far, far healthier.
@marcluc1988 It all depends on the person. But lets face it, MOST ppl eat and NEED a variety of food....meat and veg. I know many ppl who can't be a vegitarian if they wanted to, and yes I know some ppl who are vegitarian or vegan and healthy. The issue with most vegitarians is they make food a moral stance..which is wrong. It is natural and normal to eat meat and if any vegan was hungry enough they would eat a bunny any way. If you CHOOSE not to, who the fuck cares?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Morethanenough1 No. MOST people do not NEED a variety of food. I get a variety of food. May be you think of what YOU eat and then imagine taking away the animal ingredients and think, "There's nothing left." Well, I don't eat like a typical Westerner minus the meat, cheese and dairy. In fact, I would say that I eat a wider variety of food than most people I know.
The problem with non-vegetarians is they ignore the ethical and environmental inpact of the diet.
It is not the food the moral stance. It is the discrimination of the non-human animals (they are given less or no consideration of interests) and the suffering caused by the animal exploitation.
@Danquebec01...... "discrimination of non-human animals(the are given less or no consideration of interests)
..True. I don't care as much for the vague thoughts (or should I say instincts) of chickens over the thoughts of my friends and other humans...the only "animals" who are able to even conceive of ideas like consideration...lol.
Oh, then it is intelligence that makes interests consideration ? I don't see why it would be, but let says it is. It would then mean that it is acceptable to make suffer a mentally handicapped person or a baby and to kill them for food and clothing ?
A pork cannot play a video-game or read a book, but it sure feels pain when castrated without anaesthesia. I don't know what is fun for a pork, but it sure has to do with it's natural behaviour, which can't be found in factories.
@Danquebec01 Wow, talk about lack of intelligence. Some humans are not smart, some are young and developing,but as a whole species we are amazing. There is not pig out there, young, or old, even the smartest pig, that can read a book, let alone understand an idea like compassion, a purly human trait. Animals are NOT the same as ppl. They do not think like us, feel pain like us, or emotions like us.
@Morethanenough1 Now just bc I understand the natural world, accept the fact that like most ppl(not all) I need to eat meat and enjoy it, does not mean I accept animal cruelty. Most ppl don't want cruelty...to humans or animals...which is agian only a human trait, animals(pigs included) are cruel by nature. You seem to think it is impossible to kill without cruelty. It is possible. And if there is some pain, like when I butcher porpoise, we as humans try to minimalize it.
@Morethanenough1 Nature is NOT fair, all creatures are NOT equal and we are at the top bc of our minds and ability to think unlike any other animal out there. If you don't want to eat meat, who cares? Good for you, but don't judge others just bc they think different than you. A lot of ppl NEED meat, so get over yourself. You are not better than anyone else. Live and let live.
@Morethanenough1 You are not better than anyone else bc you CHOOSE not to eat meat. You are not more moral bc you don't eat pig. But you are more selfrightous bc you judge others for being human. Most ppl ( not all) need meat, so you are hating on them bc they are following nature and their body? lol. If you don't want to eat flesh, don't. No one cares but you.
Life is NOT fair. All creatures are NOT equal and humans are at the top. Deal with it. Eat what you want and let me eat what I want.
I didn't say I'm better (and I don't believe it). I'm not more moral either, I'm just doing better actions. Please, stop with this ego thing.
Also, it is important to judge what people do. This often means loneliness and hatred for the ones who want the word to go forward, but it is necessary.
Also, I didn't said I hate meat-eaters (and I don't believe it). You're saying a lot of things about me without knowing me at all.
Also, I don't care that life is not fair. I just want it more fair.
And the fact that all sensible creatures are not equal and humans are at the top is a big problem. And I won't deal with it. And while I'm not gonna force you to stop eating animal products, I will all my life struggle for that you and others stop doing it.
(btw, I'm not an english-speaker, I must have done a lot of errors)
@Morethanenough1 I agree, have your own opinions. At least know where the product comes from, and accept it. If you "block out" thoughts of where your meat comes from, you are being ignorant. I hope you aren't ignorant.
Humans are animals. Also, some humans are not intelligent enough to read a book. By example, babies, or very mentally handicapped peoples.
And, on what do you base yourself by saying that animals feel less pain ? I have no proof either, but a logical one : cutting a leg does as much problems to a human as to a pig, so the nervous system must react.
And I think it is possible to kill without pain, but there is also the farming conditions before that that are bad for them.
@Danquebec01 Hello there, Yes babies can't read and talk about morons..lol. Humans as a whole are intelligent...minus a few. NO PIG WILL EVER READ! Read my posts if you're going to respond.
You do act superiour but you are right...you're not.
As for wanting life "more fair" and " I will all my life struggle for that you and others stop doing it."
GROW UP and stop trying to force YOUR opinions on me! Fasism is alive and well apperently.
@Morethanenough1 As others have said, anyone can get all their nutritional needs met from a plant-based diet. We are not lions. My moral stance is that animals are not a commodity. Current law does not agree with me -- for example, if I choose to put my pets to sleep because I don't feel like taking care of them anymore, I will not go to jail because I "own" them. I think that is wrong. I don't understand why you think it is wrong to take a moral stance.
@ughh00 Sorry but not everyone can be healthy and get all the nutritional needs from plants only. If you think so you are ignorant and blind. We DO own animals,,,bc we have that concpet. I OWN my land bc I put a fence around it, pay for it and keep it...I own my tree in my yard....this IS moral.
@Morethanenough1 And as for YOUR "moral" stance..sorry but I don't buy it for a min. I am against murder. If I had a choice of dying or having to kill an innocent person, I would die. If you had to choose between starving to death or killing and eating a chicken..you would eat the chicken. Your "moral" stance is only good if you are happy...put pressure on it and it goes. Thus it's not your true moral stance.
Honestly I am not even bullshitting when I gave up meat It really was not that hard, I forced myself to watch slaughterhouse videos and after that I totally gave up meat. I hate it when people say all vegetarians/vegans eat is salad. no dumbasses we also eat fruit, vegetables, veggie burgers, nuts, seeds, fake meat, rice etc. funny because I am a somewhat large guy and when I tell people that I don't eat meat they act all suprised lol.
The comments before regarding a Middle Eastern diet really hit at the crux of veganism. I've been vegan before, and am researching whether to do it again, but that folks there do tend to have long lives, it needs to be explored more fully. Certainly, though, being vegan is a thousand times better than the typical western diet.
@truth2748 If we were true omnivores than we would eat meat raw just like a lion, tiger, bear, etc.. On top of that we would be able to catch living animals with our bare hands and devour them without a fork and a knife. Catch a cow with your bare hands and eat its flesh without a knife or fork then I'll agree that we are omnivores. If your goal is to get nutrition from meat then you'd eat it raw. Once cooked meat looses most if not all it's nutritional value.
awesome i wish my parents would of raised me vegan i was never sick are anything lucky i guess but i know my whole quality of life would be much better! now im a proud vegan for life, never felt better!!
i tried being vegan for 3 months, then vegetarian for 2 months and i felt terrible the whole time.... meat agrees with me i guess. wish i could be vegan, it would be alot cheaper :)
I really liked this interview. The interviewer was nice and respectful, and it was fascinating to see a lifelong vegan. (I have been vegan for a little while now.) Good stuff.
Congratulations! I myself have been Vegan for about 2 months and I have never felt better. I have more energy, increased health, and a more positive outlook on life ever since I gave up meat, dairy and eggs.
I just became fully vegan a little over a month ago. I've been a meat eater all my life so the transition took a while (about a year to finally kick meat habit). But, I honestly cannot believe how my health has improved since I gave up dairy products, the final thing I got rid of. I've lost several kilos without even trying, weight I could not budge for ages. I feel fantastic, can't believe the difference & how easy it is now. After I finally became totally vegan I can never go back now.
Thanks Beatrice. I thought it was going to be really hard and initially the transition took some effort, but there are so many delicious replacements I don't even notice it now. This way of eating is the best and it's great to know that you're not harming animals, the environment or your health.
@abamovich1 i did the same thing from last 7 months and first time in my life of 42 years, I did not get sick with flu or fever in winter season, its amazing
@abamovich1 almost a year to give up meat? wtf? I live in a country were meat is the national dish and i would always have lunch and dinner with meat, ALWAYS and i loved it, and giving up meat was really easy, i dont understand how it took you an year to make it? i mean of course i always wanted to eat it after becoming vegan but when you realice it is wrong you just dont do it.
@ANZO89 so different people go through different processes, some people go cold turkey and others transition slowly, same goes for breaking any other habit in life. Also, not everyone does it for ethical reasons, so 'realising it is wrong' isn't a factor for everyone.
@Nephtys80 may be you are right and what i did was 2 of a sudden, i remember having a lot of desire to eating meat in the 4th month, but A LOT, i almost did it once but fortunatelly not. maybe having a slow transition is the best way.
@abamovich1 i thought that, too. i lived vegan for one year and it was great, but i got weak...and started eating meat again! But now i started it again, and it feels great. i remember, that i could literally feel my health get better, when i changed to veganism some years ago...it has so many positive side effects...good luck to you and keep on!
... you do eat carrots, leaves, grass, you just fail when you eat dead animals and their fluids. Keep it up, you'll end up looking like Ted Kennedy, dying in your own poisons.
She looks great :-) She's so lucky, I wish that my parents had raised me vegan.
It's not hard to get everything you need. You just have to know very simple nutrition (that we should be taught from birth dammit). All the best sources of protein and omega 3 and all that... they are all vegan. Honestly I don't know how non-vegans stay healthy,
And what's with using animal products in bathroom and household products?! I mean, WHY?

How do you vegans explain away all the billions of animals killed in 'pest control' to produce vegetable crops? Or do only cute animals from nursery rhymes count for you?
How will you sell it to the millions of people living from animals in areas you can't grow crops and who can't afford imported veg?
Or is veganism just an urban rich self-centered, health-club hobby-diet thing?
You know that 90% of crops grown, goes towards factory farmed animals... It actually takes about 10-30 pounds of plant to finally come up with 1 pound of meat, that's 10-30 times as much more plant production than just eating 1 pound of plant, so in return, we are reducing the amount of animals killed.

Your statistics sound like a VIVA special- they always have treated facts as 'elastic'. Can you supply a source for that 90% claim that isn't an animal rights organisation?
Your answer is based on the idea that everyone lives like the urban USA- we don't! You haven't answered my point about the millions of poor dependent on animals reared in areas you cannot grow crops- ie.half of Africa, Andean America, Aboriginal Australia, Central Asia... They will starve in your vegan world.
I gave the link in your channel, government site ;). By the way, it's quite obvious that a cow eats a whole fucking lot, duh.... same with a pig. More than humans, see the size difference? They also have to eat every day, didn't know that one did you? That ends up to be a lot of food, just use your little brain to think of that.
With all the plants that will be saved from not feeding it to the cattle, and stop breeding so many so we have to feed the plants to the animals, we could afford 70-90% more plants, that's a shitload more, so much more that we could feed people in those countries that can't afford to eat healthier.
And last point, people in those countries may or may not have a choice to reduce suffering, and if they don't, that's fine. But most people on this world do have a choice to reduce the suffering and innocent slaughter of animals.

Opso- "It's common sense, cows... ever heard that cows eat quite a bit?".
Can you hear me sighing? Have you even been near a farm animal? Cows are ruminants- they have highly evolved digestive systems which, in partnership with microbes, allow them to eat material WHICH WE CANNOT DIGEST. How much a cow eats is totally irrelevant if we cannot eat it instead!
To paraphrase Mencken -for every complex problem there is a simple common sense solution, and its always wrong. Applies well to veganism.
Ouch, good response. You're correct, what they eat doesn't matter. But the work and space in which what is planted does. So, instead of whatever a cow eats, we grow plants that humans can eat.

I live in the centre of the australian desert. The soils are some of the poorest in the world and there is not enough water for crops anyway. Desert like this covers 70% of australia. You cannot just 'grow plants that humans can eat' instead out here. Its either eat animals which convert inedible plants into edible meat, or fly in foreign food-or starve. And its the same across huge swathes of the world- africa, south america, arctic, central asia...

So its OK kill animals for food in poor places but not elsewhere? Your program gets more bizarre by the minute.
Veganism is a totally artificial 21 century middle class hobby. As your answers have demonstrated its inconsistent and impractical to roll it out worldwide.
Can I ask why are you so hung up on death? There are far worse things that can happen to an animal than dying. Starvation through overpopulation for example- thats what the vegans in Canberra want for the wild Kangaroos there.

I'll repeat my earlier post because clearly you didn't get it:
"So, let me get this straight- you want to ban animal agriculture and put a huge chunk of the 3rd world on food welfare from agricultural areas? How are you going to persuade the fertile countries to give away food to the arid ones? Its not like the oil-rich countries donate it to the oil-poor, do they?"

People in arid regions with a traditional high-animal diet (innuit, aboriginals, east african herders) that I've come across have good nutrition. I'd say highly processed food is far worse.

Thats completely naive. 3/4 of the world is totally unsuitable for growing human crops either because of the soils or the lack of water. These animals aren't eating lettuce and potatoes- grazing animals eat plants which human can't! Veganism is a non-option for most of the world's poor: for them its either use animals or starve.
so what are you feeding the animals? the animals in these parts of the world have to eat plants too...if the soil is good enough for this why not for humans? and where do u live? and what is your excuse for inflicting violence on the animals?
australia...right....so its hard to grow plants there? u have no excuse, there is a big vegan community in australia, it is possible to be vegan there. ur argument falls apart

I live in the centre of the australian desert. The soils are some of the poorest in the world and there is not enough water for crops anyway. Desert like this covers 70% of australia so yes, 'its hard to grow plants there'.
'what are you feeding the animals?' This comment shows how little you know about the places I am talking about. Roos and camels here graze across wild lands- they feed themselves!
South Asians have lived for centuries on vegetarian diets (not vegan though). Largely animal protein free, but included liberal use of ghee (clarified butter).
Middle East countries have an average level of consumption, whereas in Japan meat consumption is well below the line but fish consumption is high. Scandinavian counties tend to have lower meat consumption than, for example, France, Germany and the U.S.
Living organisms thrive best in the milieu and on the diet to which they were evolutionarily adapted; this is a fundamental axiom of biology.
Living organisms thrive best on the NUTRIENTS to which they were evolutionarily adapted. For humans, all those nutrients are widely found in a vegan diet. So that's another moot anti-vegan argument.
I'm also curious what your views are on whether we are evolutionarily adapted to torturing animals for shampoo and household cleaning products.
@ndrca Humans are omnivores? "We are healthiest when we eat all foods." Wasn't that the point of this video to show you you can be healthy off of a vegan diet and no side effects? I can't believe when the truth is presented before your eyes, you still are in doubt. Sorry a little rant.I don't mean it directly towards you just to people over in general that think like this. I just don't understand it.
@ndrca vegan diet is a limiting and latest fad. Obviously that's just an opinion and anyone can have an opinion, I disagree with you of course. Also, as I know of there isn't a vegan culture that have been that way since the beginning, but there are many vegetarian cultures. So, your comment that humans are omnivores falls flat. It's also notable to say just because there isn't any beginning of time vegan culture that doesn't mean a vegan diet doesn't work.
@ndrca We are vegans because in this day of age we know how to survive without eating animal products and to dismiss that is ignorance at it's finest. I think as people get smarter about what they eat and about the world around them their diet changes along with the times.
@kevinmichael Oh, and I don't mean that I think that everyone will be vegan, what I mean to say people will make healthier choices and they are doing that now. Even people who aren't vegan are eating at vegan restaurants. In today age there is vegan culture in america and in different countries and there 's nothing wrong with that.
@ndrca 2 apples a day? Who eats 2 apples a day?! How can you say being vegan is a social fad when you know nothing about it. You have such a closed minded view. I weigh 155 lbs. That's 5 lbs more than what I used to way before I went vegan. Also, my daughter and wife are vegan. My family eats better than the average american diet because we don't eat any junk food, very little of processed foods, and also a variety of fruits, veggies, legumes, seeds, and nuts. Sorry you cant see passed ignorance
@ndrca I'm done commenting on your replies. You have no open minded view on this matter and I honestly don't feel like going on with someone that thinks all i eat is apples and calls me 5 ft tall with no muscle. I only have one comment to just show you how narrow minded you are... I commented on a typical american diet which is a lot of process foods with added sugars, msg, etc. I never said your diet is bad, but you say mine is when I eat a variety of foods. I didn't single you out, but you did
@ndrca Let me comment one last time on this because obviously some people do not understand. You can be a vegan or not and eat unhealthy. A typical american diet that I'm sure everyone is well aware of is high in processed foods. I'm not talking bout EVERY american. Now I'm not gonna join in on the name calling because I left high school a long time ago and honestly it doesn't bother me, but it's a bit irritating saying the same things over and yet a select few think I'm trying...
@kevinmichael to say they eat like crap when I never said that. You can have a healthy diet eating lean meats, veggies, fruits, whatever else. You can also have a healthy diet eat vegan (tofu, seitan, veggies, soy milk, nuts, whole grains, etc.) Your diet choice is up to you. I'm not forcing my diet on anyone and I never will.
@dream2last it is similar in the western world! a lot of people think, that vegans are nuts! parents often don´t understand, because it is such a stubborn tradition here. i live in germany and most of the people cannot imagine, that it is possible to survive without meat! In fact it is even healthier, but lots of people here don´t want to believe it. thanks to the propaganda of the meat-industry and out of date tradtitions...
For juliagogreen -- I agree with you. Yes, VEGAN POWER!! It's so ironic that people who consume greasy hamburgers, hotdogs, huge steaks, fried chicken, etc... are concerned about a vegan's health! A thumbs up for your comment!! Peace, Kim
I am addressing the cultists who make stupid statements such as "humnans are naturaly herbivores/frugivores." Humans evolved as omnivores. We CAN prosper as vegetarians/vegans thanks to modern science.
Thanks, as much as they won't admit it, to their omnivorous ancestors who built the current civilization allowing them to stand on their little pedestals and pretend to be superior.
I'm vegan for about year (i don't count actually). I had the same thought as yours, but maybe it is better to make your own choice and feel that great change from becoming one. Either way great, i'd say
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If you really think being an herbivore is the best for you, go for it
But don't start trying to impose ideologies like eating meat is vile onto other people. You come across as ill-informed and obnoxious
If you think eating meat has caused you to be fat, you are also most likely misinformed. Any normally functioning human being just needs a balanced, omnivorous diet and substantial exercise to maintain weight and live happily.
It's worked for humans since their humble beginnings of hunting and foraging, but to each his own I guess. Your post would be more appropriate if you put "In my opinion," before it though
Vegans look and feel better.

Yuk! My digestive system, including my teeth are set up to be omnivore! Science, not "folk stories" proves this beyond doubt. 2/3 of any vegetarians or vegans I've ever met do not have a very "sharp" mind because somethings missing. It would be a different story if our bodies were built differently, but they're not.

Just because you would kill a chicken rather than starve to death doesn't make it right to choose to kill animals every day when it is not necessary.
Being vegan means avoiding consuming or wearing animal products wherever possible. In our modern society it is easy!

What a rather pompous statement. My mate is a Vegan, I agree with the vast amount of what he says. However, I disagree that the future will be a fully vegan diet. It will be a much higher vegetable enriched diet than this modern 80% meat, 19% caffeine, or junk, and, 1% everything else. I still highly doubt it will be a Vegan (no animal product for consumption or in total?) society.

I think the reason most people eat meat is because they don't think about what it is when they eat it. Why do I think this? Well, sometimes, when I'm eating with a friend, I'll ask them, "What's that?" and they get uncomfortable and tell me to shut up. Ironically, they often ask me what I'm eating and I just tell them.

And I think it is possible to kill without pain, but there is also the farming conditions before that that are bad for them.

The comments before regarding a Middle Eastern diet really hit at the crux of veganism.

@truth2748 If we were true omnivores than we would eat meat raw just like a lion, tiger, bear, etc.. On top of that we would be able to catch living animals with our bare hands and devour them without a fork and a knife. Catch a cow with your bare hands and eat its flesh without a knife or fork then I'll agree that we are omnivores. If your goal is to get nutrition from meat then you'd eat it raw. Once cooked meat looses most if not all it's nutritional value.

But, I honestly cannot believe how my health has improved since I gave up dairy products, the final thing I got rid of. I've lost several kilos without even trying, weight I could not budge for ages. I feel fantastic, can't believe the difference & how easy it is now. After I finally became totally vegan I can never go back now.

How do you vegans explain away all the billions of animals killed in 'pest control' to produce vegetable crops? Or do only cute animals from nursery rhymes count for you?
How will you sell it to the millions of people living from animals in areas you can't grow crops and who can't afford imported veg?
Or is veganism just an urban rich self-centered, health-club hobby-diet thing?
ech1dna 2 years ago
You know that 90% of crops grown, goes towards factory farmed animals... It actually takes about 10-30 pounds of plant to finally come up with 1 pound of meat, that's 10-30 times as much more plant production than just eating 1 pound of plant, so in return, we are reducing the amount of animals killed.

Better get on to your second point.
With all the plants that will be saved from not feeding it to the cattle, and stop breeding so many so we have to feed the plants to the animals, we could afford 70-90% more plants, that's a shitload more, so much more that we could feed people in those countries that can't afford to eat healthier.

Opso- "It's common sense, cows... ever heard that cows eat quite a bit?".
Can you hear me sighing? Have you even been near a farm animal? Cows are ruminants- they have highly evolved digestive systems which, in partnership with microbes, allow them to eat material WHICH WE CANNOT DIGEST. How much a cow eats is totally irrelevant if we cannot eat it instead!
To paraphrase Mencken -for every complex problem there is a simple common sense solution, and its always wrong. Applies well to veganism.

Ouch, good response. You're correct, what they eat doesn't matter. But the work and space in which what is planted does. So, instead of whatever a cow eats, we grow plants that humans can eat.

I live in the centre of the australian desert. The soils are some of the poorest in the world and there is not enough water for crops anyway. Desert like this covers 70% of australia.

"So, let me get this straight- you want to ban animal agriculture and put a huge chunk of the 3rd world on food welfare from agricultural areas? How are you going to persuade the fertile countries to give away food to the arid ones? Its not like the oil-rich countries donate it to the oil-poor, do they?"

People in arid regions with a traditional high-animal diet (innuit, aboriginals, east african herders) that I've come across have good nutrition. I'd say highly processed food is far worse.

Thats completely naive. 3/4 of the world is totally unsuitable for growing human crops either because of the soils or the lack of water. These animals aren't eating lettuce and potatoes- grazing animals eat plants which human can't! Veganism is a non-option for most of the world's poor: for them its either use animals or starve.

so what are you feeding the animals? the animals in these parts of the world have to eat plants too...if the soil is good enough for this why not for humans? and where do u live? and what is your excuse for inflicting violence on the animals?

Ha ha! You can be a vegan on the moon if you pay enough to fly the soyburgers there!
I live in the centre of the australian desert. The soils are some of the poorest in the world and there is not enough water for crops anyway. Desert like this covers 70% of australia so yes, 'its hard to grow plants there'.
'what are you feeding the animals?' This comment shows how little you know about the places I am talking about. Roos and camels here graze across wild lands- they feed themselves!

So how many people does living off roos and camels in that fairly hostile (glad I grew up in Pomland!) terrain there support? Probably not many.

In nature, there are no true "human vegetarians." Humans are omnivores.
which are defined as generalized feeders.
This all obssesion with plants isn't right.
I know people who lived over 80 years very healthy but smoked. Does that make smoking good? Of course not.

South Asians have lived for centuries on vegetarian diets (not vegan though). Largely animal protein free, but included liberal use of ghee (clarified butter).

Middle East countries have an average level of consumption, whereas in Japan meat consumption is well below the line but fish consumption is high. Scandinavian counties tend to have lower meat consumption than, for example, France, Germany and the U.S.
Living organisms thrive best in the milieu and on the diet to which they were evolutionarily adapted; this is a fundamental axiom of biology.
ndrca 2 years ago
Living organisms thrive best on the NUTRIENTS to which they were evolutionarily adapted. For humans, all those nutrients are widely found in a vegan diet. So that's another moot anti-vegan argument.
I'm also curious what your views are on whether we are evolutionarily adapted to torturing animals for shampoo and household cleaning products.

Latest scientific study from Australia shows that vegans have weaker bones than people who eat all foods.
Go on and read it yourself.
We are omnivores. That says all.
Animals tortured for food? What abot 30 million human slaves? Yes slavery is still around.
I mean you can find example of evil to defend your faulty argument no matter what.
Eat balanced diet of all food, work out and educate yourself.

@dream2last I didn't know that about Middle East.
Humans are omnivores. We are healthiest when we eat all foods.
Being vegan or carnivore is not natural for us. We eat all and that's why we can survive from North Pole to tropical regions.
Ice or heat..no problems for humans who eat all.

@ndrca Humans are omnivores? "We are healthiest when we eat all foods." Wasn't that the point of this video to show you you can be healthy off of a vegan diet and no side effects? I can't believe when the truth is presented before your eyes, you still are in doubt. Sorry a little rant.I don't mean it directly towards you just to people over in general that think like this. I just don't understand it.

@kevinmichael Human are omnivoers and that is why we can survive in any enviroment. Vegan diet is limiting and latest fad.
Go tell Eskimo people about vegan diet lol

@ndrca vegan diet is a limiting and latest fad. Obviously that's just an opinion and anyone can have an opinion, I disagree with you of course. Also, as I know of there isn't a vegan culture that have been that way since the beginning, but there are many vegetarian cultures. So, your comment that humans are omnivores falls flat. It's also notable to say just because there isn't any beginning of time vegan culture that doesn't mean a vegan diet doesn't work.

@ndrca We are vegans because in this day of age we know how to survive without eating animal products and to dismiss that is ignorance at it's finest. I think as people get smarter about what they eat and about the world around them their diet changes along with the times.
kevinmichael 1 year ago
@kevinmichael Oh, and I don't mean that I think that everyone will be vegan, what I mean to say people will make healthier choices and they are doing that now. Even people who aren't vegan are eating at vegan restaurants. In today age there is vegan culture in america and in different countries and there 's nothing wrong with that.

@kevinmichael Being vegan is social fad.
Healthy person work out, sleeps well, aviods eating junk food, too much sugars, alcohol and eat diet of meats, fruits, vegies...all my friend.
You cannot be healthy if you are 110 lbs man who eats 2 apples per day.
Vegan diet would make Holocaust survivors very healthy. They had no meat and ate cabage.
ndrca 1 year ago
@ndrca 2 apples a day? Who eats 2 apples a day?! How can you say being vegan is a social fad when you know nothing about it. You have such a closed minded view. I weigh 155 lbs. That's 5 lbs more than what I used to way before I went vegan. Also, my daughter and wife are vegan. My family eats better than the average american diet because we don't eat any junk food, very little of processed foods, and also a variety of fruits, veggies, legumes, seeds, and nuts. Sorry you cant see passed ignorance
kevinmichael 1 year ago
@kevinmichael 155 lbs? Jesus man do you have any muscle? You must be 5 ft tall.
You argue for vegan diet by pointing at garbage foods.
I advocate work out, and diet made of fresh meats, vegies, fruits....in order to be at your optimum.
Spoiled people sport vegan style out of boredom. You were never hungry. That is your problem.
ndrca 1 year ago
@ndrca I'm done commenting on your replies. You have no open minded view on this matter and I honestly don't feel like going on with someone that thinks all i eat is apples and calls me 5 ft tall with no muscle. I only have one comment to just show you how narrow minded you are... I commented on a typical american diet which is a lot of process foods with added sugars, msg, etc. I never said your diet is bad, but you say mine is when I eat a variety of foods. I didn't single you out, but you did
kevinmichael 1 year ago
@kevinmichael You are using poor example to defend your shallow diet.
You can't point at shit and say "see that is why my food is better".
I advocate diet in moderation made of meats, fruits, fish, and vegetables.
Any extreme is unhealthy....stop working out is not good, drink heavy alcohol is unhealthy, eating unbalaced diet is wrong...and so on.
You are advocating vegan diet at 155 lbs. Unless you are short you should weigh more. Muscles.man without muscles is what? a woman :-)

@ndrca Let me comment one last time on this because obviously some people do not understand. You can be a vegan or not and eat unhealthy. A typical american diet that I'm sure everyone is well aware of is high in processed foods. I'm not talking bout EVERY american. Now I'm not gonna join in on the name calling because I left high school a long time ago and honestly it doesn't bother me, but it's a bit irritating saying the same things over and yet a select few think I'm trying...

@kevinmichael to say they eat like crap when I never said that. You can have a healthy diet eating lean meats, veggies, fruits, whatever else. You can also have a healthy diet eat vegan (tofu, seitan, veggies, soy milk, nuts, whole grains, etc.) Your diet choice is up to you. I'm not forcing my diet on anyone and I never will.

@kevinmichael Yes you are right....you can be vegan and eat unhealthy...It takes discipline to work out, east FRESH mixed diet of all foods.

@dream2last it is similar in the western world! a lot of people think, that vegans are nuts! parents often don´t understand, because it is such a stubborn tradition here. i live in germany and most of the people cannot imagine, that it is possible to survive without meat! In fact it is even healthier, but lots of people here don´t want to believe it. thanks to the propaganda of the meat-industry and out of date tradtitions...

She's got GORGEOUS hair. Look at it, so healthy and thick and shiny, I'd love hair like this.
Her skin is clear, there are no zits. She's only 19, and at that age, young people still get zits. Her skin is clear and beautiful.
She's trim, healthy, gorgeous. Veganism is definitely the way to live and raise children, she's living proof.

I am addressing the cultists who make stupid statements such as "humnans are naturaly herbivores/frugivores." Humans evolved as omnivores. We CAN prosper as vegetarians/vegans thanks to modern science.
Thanks, as much as they won't admit it, to their omnivorous ancestors who built the current civilization allowing them to stand on their little pedestals and pretend to be superior.
It is about science.

I'm vegan for about year (i don't count actually). I had the same thought as yours, but maybe it is better to make your own choice and feel that great change from becoming one. Either way great, i'd say

If you really think being an herbivore is the best for you, go for it
But don't start trying to impose ideologies like eating meat is vile onto other people. You come across as ill-informed and obnoxious
If you think eating meat has caused you to be fat, you are also most likely misinformed. Any normally functioning human being just needs a balanced, omnivorous diet and substantial exercise to maintain weight and live happily.
Eating meat ALONE normally causes health risks
