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.

Mashed potatoes processed with animal products? Yuck.

@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.

@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.

@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...

@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 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.

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.

How is this healthy eating?
