  • This coming-of-age story of a Muslim-American is a lot like the documentary I’m recently obsessing over, "My Reincarnation". The main character, Yeshi is a Reincarnated Tibetan leader living in Italy who struggles between his two identities. An interesting documentary that spans twenty years and leaves you wondering if Yeshi made the right choice. I enjoyed this reviews from the Chicago Tribune. bit . ly/uIr2nk

  • Did anyone else notice the extremely scary clown doll at the start of the video?

  • idiot

  • 1:14 lamb chops from goats??

  • Where can I watch the whole thing?

  • lol. its ironic that the very fact that our ancestors ate so much animal protein allowed our brains to grow to the size they are now. That allowed us to have higher level thoughts and emotions such as empathy for our food for instance. You think Homo Erectus cared about the wellbeing of its food? haha

  • ok its simple , humans have teeth that are designed to eat both meat and vegtables because we need to. however i will say the excess eating of meat is questionable. in todays world there is an over consumption of meat.

  • Unhealthy? ..not really. Maybe people would go vegan if the whole world knew all the healthy vegan food. You wanna go teach everybody? haha

  • What a primitive thing to do... to consume animals. Totally unhealthy. Totally unnecesary. Go Vegan.

  • I say keep it up brother from your brother in kuwait stay safe and happy and take care.

    peace out
