 Vegans are the most hateful and spiteful to their own kind. In the recent examples of vegans no longer being able to follow a plant-based diet for health concerns, the response from the vegan community is so overwhelmingly negative. It really exposes their cult-like and illogical behavior. It doesn't matter what the conditions of the person are. It does not matter how blatantly obvious that within days of consuming animal foods the person immediately feels better. In their minds there was always a solution staying on the plant-based diet and doing it in a different way. Thankfully the young couple were about to look at here found out through nature, through pregnancy and the woman's natural biological urges for animal foods that maybe a vegan diet isn't the best for everyone. Let's see what they have to say and how the vegan community responds. So we have a huge change in our life and it's not just a baby arriving but we recently decided to start incorporating some animal products into our diet and this was a huge decision for us. He's been plant-based for a decade and I have for almost five years and it worked for us for some time but over the last few months to a year or so it's been pretty obvious to us that it's not working so well anymore being strictly vegan. Plant-based can denote just eating mostly plants which is what we are now. We eat mostly plants but... We're supplementing with some organ meats, some eggs, some sardines. Which is going to be a shock to a lot of our viewers and we debated a lot whether or not to even say this so be gentle with us. It's been about, for me, about three months, maybe two and a half? No, it's been three months. And I initiated it because of a close friend of mine who made a switch and noticed dramatic improvements physically. But for me the things that I noticed were all mental. I play classical piano and sight-reading music has always been one of the most challenging intellectual things I've ever had to do and I noticed immediate improvements like within days. My brain felt like it was working better and I like to consider myself a very responsible vegan or was. I had all the supplements, DHA, multivitamin. I would take mushroom and greens, powders, various ones and try to eat a really nutritious and wholesome diet. If you go back and watch some of the first videos I made on this channel a year or over a year ago, I was complaining so much and doing raw veganism and just eating fruit, trying to heal my digestive system and pregnancy helped heal my digestive system a lot too but also since I started incorporating meat and just some animal products it's actually been the opposite of what I always told myself which was that animal products would make it worse but my digestion is on point right now and I feel amazing. I feel really nourished and... We're not really making this video to convince you to do anything because I have so many friends, obviously being vegan for a decade like I made so many amazing friends, people that we love, both of us and we really care about and really support their message and their conviction and we don't want to upset anyone if it's working for them that's great, continue down that path and it just became something that became more obvious and clear that we had to address it because we're often lumped into this category of being like vegan parents and that's something that bothers you a little bit. I don't want to be labeled as that anymore. A lot of young women that want to have a baby and think that that's just... Yeah, have a vegan pregnancy, have a vegan family. Works for everybody and it doesn't necessarily. It doesn't. It doesn't have to be the ideal and I feel really called to share this and to be honest and authentic about our lifestyle switch now because I don't want to lead any other mothers astray and thinking that I'm a vegan and that that's the ideal because there's so much out there on the internet with good intention and a beautiful message but just with the nature of social media it can make us and it did make me feel like a vegan pregnancy and having a vegan family is the highest of highs, the ideal, the optimal like the best thing on all levels and it's just so clear to me now that it's not. It's not for everyone. It is for some people but it's not for everyone and throughout my pregnancy I did have a vegan pregnancy well I had eggs twice and some ghee during my pregnancy like a little bit, barely any. But during my pregnancy I did crave those things a lot. I craved eggs, I craved butter and ghee, I craved meat and fish and I didn't eat those things but in hindsight I wish that I had listened to my body and not judged myself for what I felt like my body needed nourishment from and gosh we could talk about this for so long about why it's okay and why I didn't need to judge myself Bridget is perfectly healthy and I'm so grateful for that I had reserves in my body from growing up eating animal products and lots of good fats and things but she took all of my protein so much she took so much from me and she's super healthy and beautiful because of that. I just wasn't working anymore so this is our truth this is where we're at and I really wanted to share this no way I am heartbroken by you don't ask us to practice kindness when you are not and now that you're a mother I thought you would relate more to not taking from the body of another mother in any form, meat or milk or egg this brings me so much sadness the first response so you would rather be unhealthy and unwell than continue the way she is going veganism does not work for everyone don't get it twisted Megan is beautiful and kind soul her teaching kindness has nothing to do with her not being fully vegan anymore the second response sending lots of love to you guys but taking life and freedom away from sentient beings who have souls and can feel pain like you is in no way spiritual it's the opposite it's discounted to follow sentient species who share the planet with us they are not here for privileged people like us who have the choice to choose an option that cause the least amount of harm and Evan, you're telling us to be gentle with you guys yet consuming animal products you're doing the exact opposite to the animals treat others how you want to be treated mental and physical health is important I don't blame you for wanting to improve your health but there are plant-based ways that you might have not tried to fix areas that are lacking I'm not angry at you guys I'm just sad and want to share my thoughts another couple quits orthorexia said that veganism is blamed for the disordered eating again veganism is not a diet why is this so hard to understand for many this is a very typical response we see from the vegan community insistence in the health of a plant-based diet they are always so right and confident that because a diet works for them at their point in their life that it applies to anyone across all of these scopes time and time again we have seen this and we will continue to see this until veganism fades into obscurity there will be a point in time where anyone who continues a vegan way of living will be viewed at as a denier of the overwhelming negative evidence and propaganda that once pushed a vegan diet whether they realize it's not the healthiest diet for them that it's not actually better for the environment that it's not better from a moral or ethical standpoint will they ever realize these things I don't know is it ever going to happen is that the negative health implications of a vegan diet show themselves drastically compared to anything we've seen in the past unfortunately for this couple despite how blatantly obvious it was that their health immediately improved after incorporating animal products they're still in denial these people are so brainwashed they will never see the light until something drastic happens to them and even then I'm sure there are many many vegans and vegetarians who have countless miscarriages so many health problems and still cannot open their eyes to the necessity of animal foods in the diet thank you guys for watching if you guys would like to support the channel please subscribe and share the video if you guys want to check out my amazon shop I do have a bunch of products on there that I use every day if you guys want to take a look at my patreon I got a little story about me my personal life, what I do I'm on Twitter, I'm on Instagram and if you guys would like to reach out to me on consultation in regards to optimizing the nutrient density of your diet feel free to send me an email frankatefano at gmail.com or contact me through the form on my website
