 Okay, so here we are at Tesco's I don't know if you guys remember George from the other day We sat down and had a really motivational conversation because you know this might be a better way How can you turn a meaty into someone who's vegan who's never done it before and has no idea what he's doing? A lot of you guys loved him and wanted to see more So at Tesco's we're gonna take him through get him some vegan options to choose from and we're gonna go meet him now Let's do it. Hey bud. Hey guys, good to see you. You got good responses, dude What we'll do is grab a trolley. We're gonna enlighten you to the vegan sections But we're gonna try to navigate it around your budget as well. No, that's all right. No, I'm shout this one This is it because this one's gonna be like I'm gonna grab a few different things for you So then we can um, if you've got a few different things like then you can just like I'll prefer that one You can look at the price look how much you get. I'm just like looking at these ones Sometimes it's good just to know 100% Just says may contain egg soya, but it doesn't say contains eggs. It just says contains weak So that's a little trick as well like um if it says may contain it's just it's just covering for allergies But if it says contains and it's in bold thing, then you know, it's an ingredient Do you have cereal or anything? You don't have oats or cereal? Do you have oats? You got is that what you go for? Because because these are a bit more expensive than Weedabix might be These are these are vegan. These are all right They're vegan as well. I think we'd be extra good like stuff like this brand flakes or But like I don't know what type of milk we'll get you on because I just wanted you to try some cereal would so you Could try your milk. Oh, yeah, here we go. I'll say what I this is what I usually get so These are soya They're 59p. That's a price match to Audi these are But this is I don't know if you drink coffee. I get this one for coffee It's expensive, but it's our at last it lasts me about a week Before like cereal and that and for budgeting. I just this is like 59p. What wait wait? So if you get a liter of dairy milk, how much is that? That's like 170 So you only you know you only spend your feet people how about I'm gonna grab you one of these anyway. This is a bit cheaper So why are they better in drinks and that one's better in like because for hot for hot coffees this doesn't split I don't know if you um What source you would usually get but you'd probably go on the cheaper end These are 39p. Oh, okay. That's is that vegan? Yeah For me this is more like Noticing that pretty much any food I could have could easily be vegan and if it says Vegetarian on it. Sometimes they just don't label it as vegan. So you just do a quick Google up And there's usually like a it sounds like a repeat process for any like the thing is like once you know what's vegan you You're basically set. I don't know if you do mayo. Do you do I catch it's vegan by the way wait? No, that's vegetarian. See I see I messed up Vegetarian because it's got an egg in there eggs macerate chicks Yeah, they macerate all the males because I don't produce eggs, but We've got oh here's one. This is 125. Okay, you can man. I don't you like mayo a yes Let's go through that down the metal like murder aisle. See how they Where's the where's the animal? Where's the animal hanging from the hanging from their leg with the knife in their throat and like nobody sees that and then you see It's a baby's leg So small that his bone come off of a slaughtered lamb Blood Just crazy So like so what's your mind? What's your process when you go on somewhere like this? I would get the 500 the 500 gram 25 cent fat because I'm too long So 20% fat something like that. That's what you get ones that you know, even you know, they might be cheap and nasty 149 okay, okay So there's probably multiple animals in that mince because they mince them all up together. So this is probably Two or three personalities in there. I normally get diced chicken Even cheaper again, but this is I don't know I come from a family where you try to save as much money So did I yeah, yeah Get away from the frugality I guess because of you know being human about it Do you notice how like this is all like packaged cleansed Disconnected from the animal. Yeah, you're not even thinking of a slaughterhouse right now. Yeah, look at look at the sign here It's like a green part. They don't show you the blood and the fear and the animal. This is called nutritional yeast I don't know if you like this. I'm gonna buy it for you. Anyway Because it's like cheesy flakes Yeah, I like it. Oh, okay. So wait a second. Here's the vegetarian section Okay Yeah, I know Some places actually a little bit There's usually two there's usually two little plant-based section. So we'll have a look around the corner. So these beyond burgers They're some of the best Vegans for their five clue for two. Yeah, they don't get subsidized by the Meets getting subsidized. So the reason that's so cheap is because it actually costs way more to produce But the government just hands out billions worth of subsidies We'll get you some of this but like maybe like I don't know if you if you're going like with if you if you're going vegan obviously like There's more than just price for the motivation as well. Like, you know, I know it's Physically can't eat a pig now like I'd make me sicker It's it. I'm ethically against it. The gas chambers are disgusting in places. So when I thought of when I saw it You saw me shake and shiver. Yeah, it's not a fun thing No So like if I had to buy that for three quid and this is a really good one Actually, then I'd have like to two bacon signies a week instead of one every morning If price wasn't a problem for me then it wouldn't be an issue But like if price was and I wouldn't go for the bacon just because I couldn't afford You know, I'd either eat more beans eat more rice eat more bread and eat less of this mock meat stuff But this is this is for like a transitional food anyway Like the more and more you're vegan and you're getting trying all the plant foods trying all the whole foods your palette changes And you're like you want less of this. That's what I found anyway, but But we'll grab you some I'm gonna get you these just just for a treat just so you know what they taste like So maybe we can do a little you can try one of these one of these see which ones you like How much is usually spent for a pizza a pound each Like you get a bunch of pitta breads and some tomato sauce and just chuck some cheese and some like some mock meat on there Okay, sorry. Have you had this before? No, never. Never had tofu in my eyes. So what you do is you scramble it up Okay, so you grab it and you squish it up in the pan With like onions and peppers like you like put some of that stock powder in there a bit of bit of like This to make it cheesy and you put it on some toast With like ketchup. So you make your you're essentially making a scrambled eggs. This is like this It's not a piece of someone. Hey, this is a dairy-free section. So this here is one of my favorite. It's a bit It's a stronger cheese. Yeah, like it's so salty. This is a mild cheese This is mild by a life is like mild mozzarella type of cheese This is like parmesan that you sprinkle on your Pass that's like hard salty Because I'm fighting against my taste buds, but then the eventual saving We're like, you know, I mean, it's yeah It's like your taste buds over the suffering and cruelty and killing of so many animals, you know, so Well, I have to we need to keep reminding ourselves otherwise Otherwise we fall into the illusion. So you hear pepperoni See how they change it into like a little circle and kids just grab that and they don't they don't even know what's in there You know what I mean? Most people and thought that you cared more than most people I talked to So I wouldn't suggest that to you like I'm not saying you don't care at all I think you care more than you're coming to the store with me for God's sake The first person who's come to the store with me after a bloody debate. What do you um, what do you usually put in your wrap? rice, fish eat a seasoning. I mostly just peppers, onions, mushrooms and Okay, then I you don't really you don't really do many vegetables Veganism's not about your health anyway, because that's just a personal your health is a personal choice But you want an advent calendar? We're gonna have to get you a vegan advent calendar if you always this is me being your mum right now your vegan mum They said like look George, we're okay with you But you sound like you're a person who needs to have a protein diet because of working all the time You know protein is probably not the best source for that carbohydrates a better source for fuel Yeah, like fruits and great whole grains and they all contain protein like there's this misconception that plants don't contain Enough protein. Thank you because we know a little bit about um non-vegan Bathroom stuff as well This is a thing too. Yeah, go on mate. So you just learned that that shampoo was vegan Though sometimes they put animal products or they test they do the testing. Yeah. Yeah, these are always a quid See vegan vegan vegans. Yeah. Hey biscuits. I don't know what big biscuits you like Oreos are good only the original so not these ones with all this stuff on there cool We're smashing it mate What what what the best place to go fruit for in Tesco's for the vegan chocolate is the free from the free-from aisle It's called free from and they got cookies and they got chocolate and all that sort of stuff in there Yeah free from slaughter free from exploitation. I was going to get some meatballs The meatballs these are Linda McCartney's ones So you've got the you've got the the gangster beyond burgers in there for a bit of a treat So you know what they taste like and that and then you've got those ones are a bit cheaper So so you can try them out. So we think these are these chicken style pieces here So these meet fruit chicken style pieces. They're cheaper than the um, than the corn ones And you get more So it's 175 for 300 grams It stays longer. It's just not you don't have to worry about poison The only time you get poisonous if it's cross contaminated with animals. Oh dead bird in the body bag here This is going to be pricey. This is going to be pricey because it's not a normal shop We're just we're splashing out like what I would suggest like is increasing You know your your fruits vegetables and grains and beans and then get get like okay You got some burgers there, you know get a packet of cheese a week that chicken there was 179 and then just try to like Blend in these things with what you usually get like this brand here Tesco's got their own mince They're out so quid 75 it's probably around it's probably competitive with the other mints get but I love this mince I put it on everything. We're gonna flash it up on the screen. Anyway, that means Tesco's mince is really good This is a free-from section. This is where This is where the naughty stuff is but uh, this is our like Nutella vegan Nutella. Do you want to give it a crack? It's just it's naughty But we're gonna look after you mate Beans are all good all of this basically all this stuff here unless it's got the cheese in it If you ever want like make something creamy coconut milk is vegan as well on these sauces here like um Wait a second Sriracha and this sriracha mayo. Oh, it's a vegan. This is vegan. Yeah, see Sawyer sources vegan obviously Silken tofu you can blend this this is soft tofu you can blend this up and make a little dessert with it If you put some chocolate You put that you'd be so surprised if you if you mix that with that in a blender You make chocolate custard with it full of protein calcium really good for your two tofu's These come out of a hen's cloaker And a cloaker you know cloaker is it's a it's a butthole a vagina and where she wheeze and poo's out of Like all out of the same hole and that's where the egg comes out of animal She's like all the all everything comes out of the same hole Yeah, like lentils man these red lentils they cook up pretty quick. You can make a curry with them so onions peppers Potatoes lentils are super high protein super high fiber Super nutrient dense especially these red ones. So that's how to do it super cheap Like if you really wanted to be vegan on the cheapest rice rice beans legumes fruits vegetables whole grains a little bit of this stuff You know and you can stretch out your budget even cheaper or if you just ate beyond burgers every night and like Rashes of this bacon and stuff, but then you can make it cheaper with these these with these one a couple of quid So it just depends on like you just you can make it as cheap or as expensive as you want basically You can blend them up make hummus out of a may you need a zap these ups hundred I was right All got all going to supply. You know, this is feeding the demand for vegan food for ethical food Okay, so a good cause You're rolling All right, so this is what we got George for a hundred quid Now George was on a bit of a budget So obviously like what you would tend to do if you're on a more of a budget is you would increase Your starches you would increase your beans You'd increase your fruits and vegetables and your rice's and things like that and you decrease These things here, you know beyond burgers beyond burgers and now they're the most expensive burgers Vegan burgers you can get But you know we can you can get cheaper cheaper burgers as well I'm dropping everything everywhere, but you know that stuff like this been more expensive So you'd go less on that George is trying to Try to contain my um, but you know like you can make basically what you do is you'd be more top-heavy on the whole food and more bottom-light on the um the meat alternatives, but We thought we treat George because George been a good sport and he's he's really interested in trying to make some ethical decisions So we thought it give him a bit of a selection to choose from here, but I reckon um What would you do is cut open some of the cheeses so you could test them out see which ones you like Maybe even um, I don't know you want to fry up some bacon or do you want to do you want to cook up some meatballs or something? It's lunchtime. Let's have a bacon sarni. Okay. Yeah, that sounds nice Just I'm getting that golden golden sizzle on that What I was gonna say what what bread are you gonna use? So I'm using We're going we're doing traditional British shiny British bacon sarni But then you think about these gas chambers and all that and the pigs and that and lucky You know, that's so hot that horrible feeling that because that's the part that likes to escape our minds after if I'm It's in the forefront of my mind a lot because I do this for my job But like this is the part that sometimes we get exposed to it and then we tuck it away And then we go back to seeing the packets and not seeing the animal and so it's more of It's okay to feel stupid. It's okay to feel stupid when it comes to your philosophy and trial, you know, of course like I mean I'm Like long-term vegans and no know all about this stuff because it's been years Yeah, but I guess I love to beat my you know, it's like when you seen what was going on to the animals You knew that was wrong. So that's the starting point Okay, that you feel like that was wrong and you know, you expressed very honestly like how you felt about that And you're like look, this is horrible. I don't want to be a part of this and all those things that like Now from this point on would you sort of like okay? How do I align my lifestyle with how I felt there? And you're not gonna be perfect at the start, you know, you're gonna be like You don't like overwhelm yourself like I wasn't a perfect vegan at the start I was you know, if I found out about something like I was like, oh God that I didn't check the packet the back of that packet properly I've just eaten half of it. I'll do better next time, you know, like I was just Especially the first year. I was trying to work things out and I got to check clothing and This is wool is a woolen these jump before I bought the clothing. I made sure it's just cotton or synthetic and You're just chilling at home. You're making a bacon sunny. Like you just get a rock and roll There we go. See he gets a bit of ketchup on there. He doesn't mess around Yeah, this one melts really good the um Yeah, this via life melts really good like a mozzarella This one here is more of a bitey mature sort of cheddar that More for a sandwich or something like that. It's got like a nice or just for eating like you wanted to eat cheese That is fantastic We need to Yeah Like a proud vegan educator here George on his first big and bacon sandwich Well, it's cool that you can you know, you can have bacon sandwich if you want you can go healthy if you want You know Like yeah, I think your body will thank you as well Like like if you have more fruits and vegetables and you know more whole grains and less of the um Little bit less of the cheese in the meat even if it's vegan like I mean, it's got it's got no cholesterol in this by the way But there is saturated fat and you know, so this is it still raises your cholesterol Yeah, but much less than actual meat does and those sausages and pigs bodies and all those Yeah, and there's you're not eating someone no, you're not eating someone right eating plants Which one would you choose would you go this isn't or the naked but then Which one was this naked without the wink and this isn't they also do this isn't chicken Um There you go, we're not sponsored by any of these products by the way, we just they're in the supermarket and we just yeah So for me for somebody okay, so that one says unsmoked I'm more of an unsmoked fun So I wouldn't like go first one more often, but just for the pure like more bacon II Texture, yeah, that's this one's got the more meaty. Yeah, that's what I felt as well I like this because I like I'm pretty not fussy with the vegan meats, but this one here They wrote guy. They've got a really close texture wise and smoky wise for me as well So you're not lucky that far you're not that fussy when it comes to Yeah, okay, so we go guys no gas chambers no Farrowing crates no sentient being and still taste pretty good. So We've got you got a bunch of food to try anyway, mate All right, and I just wanted to say to you. Thank you for your honesty. That's your good conversation It's such a good conversation on my channel, man. I'm so happy to have it on there He did you really a lot of the audience just loved your honesty and and yeah We need more people in the world like you mate. Thank you. Well, it's been an absolute honor to go shopping with you And come on bring it in Thank you We really hope that your your your new journey goes really well and that you you know because I feel like you are so against animal cruelty Like you really expressed it so passionately and you're like But it's just like you needed to know a little bit you needed a bit of guidance a little bit of help and I hope this This video actually helps a bunch of other people that might need some guidance to anybody. Yeah If anybody is struggling, I do recommend them to just go to supermarket Because you'll see in the footage it's going to be cut down We did spend up two hours, but in those two hours we were chit chatting away But for me, I noticed significantly how short how small the aisles are So for you be easy-peasy just to nip those aisles and just have a look and just in just enjoy the fact that you Don't have to see a dead pig or dead animal or you don't have to replace it It's that it's very much of knowing that you know, it's better But I know some people with money constraints and you know, don't want to really switch up their lifestyle Like some of those people can oh, I mean not most people can switch up our lifestyle So I recommend you just try give it you know week or two weeks. I'm gonna give it as cool as I can because I Feel so much better. Yeah Have to have that on your conscience either and like like I said like what we got what we got George here was like we We sort of lashed out for him a little bit here Like we got him a bit more of an expensive shop We wanted him to try all the different things because he's you know new to everything But you can really do this on a really nuts and bolts budget if you really wanted to rice beans Chickpeas vegetables a little bit of a you know, this was a pound You know a little bit of almond milk for a pound Some some oats oats are like a pound a packet really cheap You know some dried fruit in there a little bit of frozen fruits and vegetables You could do this super cheap if you really had to But we thought we'd give him a little bit of a range and a selection to choose from and then he can sort of Try to design a budget off of off the back of this stuff and we I really hope that you watch dominion as well If you can sit through dominion, it's really educational on it. It's got a lot to I think that might give you that that final Little nudge in the right direction and the environment thing too. I don't know if you've seen cal spiracy I haven't okay cal spiracy and dominion. Okay, because you seem like you're interested in the environment as well Still I'm it's just more of just understanding Yeah, just yeah Yeah, I think it's I think we I think you said he best was not to forget the slaughtering and more It's not I mean, you know not letting that because you go like okay inconvenience knife in the animal's throat They're terrified in a slaughterhouse. Okay. This is 50p more 50p more Cal being you know forcibly impregnated had their calves taken away calves killed Cal slaughtered turn into leather and beef and All these things that a sent in being doesn't want to go through so you kind of like sort of way it up Okay, maybe I can put a little bit more starch in here a little bit less of this or something like that I don't know me. I'm super motivated. It wouldn't like it no matter what situation I mean I've been riding my bike across Adelaide desert, you know in Australia and like I'll just find some beans And get some beans and bread and some you know like some soy milk and some cereal and I'll sit there and eat a little plastic So like no matter what situation I've been in I've always found something to sustain myself So but I'm extremely motivated. So like I like like I wouldn't buy any thing to do like say child pornography or something some Something horrific to do with like some horror. I would avoid it. I would avoid it. Thanks George. Thanks for coming on mate. Thank you. All right Let's go. Let's find our next New vegan
