Apologies for the audio-only during some of Sarah's clips. Something failed during rendering.

Her strawmanning of vegans is interesting, seeing this as a non-vegan. She's talking about about ultra-vegans. Which is similar to people talking about Christianity while only recognizing Young Earth Creationists and the hardline literal interpreters. Sure, those people exist and they're worth talking about, but they aren't the majority.

As a Christian Vegan, thank you!!! One of my favorite videos by far! I appreciate your thorough analysis of why her "cherry-picking" of the Bible is bs and dangerous.

I really like how, instead of saying "religion is bullshit, that's not an excuse" (like i did at first), she went IN on the Bible and explained why it is perfectly christain to be vegan, this is why I love you, using her own faith against her!

As a Christian vegan myself, you have thoroughly debunked Sarah’s poor understanding of God’s word and veganism. Thank you. I am grateful that you were able to point out her hypocrisy without throwing Christianity under the bus as other atheist vegans do.

You should do a TED talk... Your eloquence and arguments are way too good! Thank you for this video

I don’t believe people when they say “I’m not vegan because some vegans suck.” I just don’t think someone can be that stupid. Dishonesty seems more likely.

Sarah: "I really hate this gotcha vegan internet culture" Also Sarah: *spends 20 minutes being the embodiment of internet gotcha culture*

I'm sad you didn't see her previous videos. she literally said she doesn't feel anything when animals are tortured and laughed about throwing her goldfish into a toilet. then she turned it into a pro life propaganda and it was a mess. funny she deleted everything and posted this

Why do "ex-vegans" go back to eating meat instead of "just" being vegetarian? Never understood that But great video and great response!

The thumbnail is the best * adjusts glasses * "Um, actually..." EDIT: Regarding the actual video: Sarah's argumentation sadly suffers from serious whataboutism, generalisations and lack of understanding of the vegan philosophy. Great response.

I can't take people seriously who justify causing harm with their religious beliefs. It's 2018.

I've watched your videos for a while and this one in particular really points out how understanding and reasonable you are. Probably one of the (if not the) most compassionate vegans on youtube. You do an amazing job of bringing light to the flaws in a person's reasoning without out coming across high and mighty or like they are bad people. And even though I am not Christian I am incredibly impressed with how you handled the religious aspects of her video without demonizing Christianity or undermining her faith. Which I think is the easier way to respond as an atheist. It's more impactful and likely to create change to come from a place of gentleness and reason. I really hope she sees this video.

I love that you did your research on the Bible. I know you're an atheist but you recognize that within religions we must use our reason to interpret texts and teachings and that it matters how we do that. Thanks from a Catholic theologian and aspiring reducetarian!

I'm a vegan Christian. I believe that God wouldn't be happy the way we treat our animals today, so I prefer not to contribute to that. If God gave us all the animals, I believe he ment us to take CARE of them, not the opposite...

I'm a Christian Vegan. I found her video obnoxious and uninformed. Thank you for your more well-reasoned response.

Thank you for your measured response. I’m a Christian vegan as well, and the Bible does not say veganism is against Bible standards. It’s true that after the Flood God allowed mankind to consume meat, but He clearly did not agree with the industrialisation and overall inhumane treatment of animals we see today. He doesn’t agree with hunting for sport or mass killing. Like you said, there is NOTHING in the Bible that says you shouldn’t be vegan, and if anything, the Bible makes it very clear how sacred God considers all life, including that of animals.

"I don't want to be vegan because of THOSE vegans" *goes on to be THAT Christian* wow. you're the reason I don't talk about my religion fucking thanks. thank you for your considerate responses 💙 when someone is using Christianity poorly like this it's so easy to attack but you handled it in a way that was very inclusive 💙

I am also a Christian, and I agree with your argument in this video. I also really, really appreciate your well-researched and extremely respectful approach to the whole Christian argument. A lot of people don’t have this perspective, so I really appreciated how you handled it!

Imagine not being able to understand supply & demand

Ahhh your research is merciless

I stopped watching Sarah when she made a video on why she was circumcising her son. Spoiler alert: there is NO reason to circumcise an infant any more than there is a reason to cut off their ear.

I can not believe she brought up abortion..

I hate when they flip the "you don't care about the humans suffering"card. Lady, you boosting about it does a hell of an lot less for them then me a being a vegan for 1 day. Also it's just some crazy competition for them. I do this cause I care. You can have the shining armor, I really don't care.

So actually I am a little conflicted with your response about fast fashion. Since you care so much about the environment, I would urge you to watch "true cost" on Netflix. On one hand, you are right about the the sweatshop workers. On another hand., fast fashion is also a major polluter of Earth. I guess it's not black and white issue since these workers are in a bad situation as you mentioned. But I am transitioning into veganism because of environmental reasons, that means not supporting fast fashion as well to me or if I ever purchase anything from there, wear it out until it's almost unwearable or give it to someone who will wear it so I can offset the environmental impact.

Isn't this the girl who giggled about dropping her fish down garbage disposal? Pretty sure she is also an anti-vaxxer

The second she starts talking about the bible I’m checked out.

Okay, I find her reasoning annoying. She is just listing everything wrong in the world as an excuse to eat meat. She can do everything she mentions and still be vegan. There is nothing and no one stopping her, except herself.

So weird that she tried to make “not following emotions” sound like a Christian thing. From a Christian standpoint, God GAVE you those emotions (empathy) so that you could know how to do good (have a conscience). Why would you want to ignore that? Not only would you feel bad about yourself, you’d also be totally directionless and have no sense of right and wrong.

I feel like all the Christian vegans were holding our collective breath when we saw this title. I love this channel and was so ready for UV to come down hard on Christianity but this was awesome and it's some of the same theological reasoning I use when talking to other Christians about veganism! I would have gone for a more historical/cultural argument for Christian vegan/vegetarianism (such as vegetarian religious orders, monasteries, etc) and I also heavily lean on the story of Daniel but UV made a great theological argument and now this is honestly one of my favorite youtube videos of all time! Science! Religion! Vegans! Woo!

I keep coming out of watching these videos with a massive craving for beans...

The problem with your comment about sweatshops in Bangladesh is two-fold: 1) continuing to purchase from companies that use sweatshops sends those companies the message that consumers do not care about who makes their clothes and that it's fine to carry on with business as usual; and 2) continuing to purchase from these companies contributes to incredible environmental damage in developing parts of the world. Why do you think any companies have shaped up by monitoring their supply chains and/or creating more sustainable garments, etc? It's because of bad press (from Rana Plaza, for example) and the potential for boycotts that companies ditch the sweatshops and create recycled-water-bottle shoes. It's because some consumers have moved away from H&M and toward Everlane. It's because sustainable and ethical fashion has been proven to make money. People seriously need to consider their clothing purchases also because they have an outsize impact on the environment (much like diet, though not to the same extent). America has a serious problem with over-consumption. We buy more clothes than we need, wear few of them, and throw the rest away, where they eventually end up in the landfill (whether you donate them or not). Combine that with the fact that many of our clothes are now made with plastic (polyester, spandex, elastane), which doesn't always biodegrade, or are just terrible quality, which means that we have to keep producing and purchasing new clothes, and the fashion industry does serious damage to the planet. In short, I would encourage you to do more research and not suggest to your followers that people continue buying from sweatshops. I also really hope people do a bit more research and consider buying clothes made from natural fabrics (which biodegrade) and also fewer clothes. Though we can't control the trade policies and regulations of the world's governments, that doesn't mean our individual actions don't matter. Collectively, they send a message to companies and politicians that we care about human rights abuses and the environment. I'm really disappointed in your comment: it seemed like a very ill-informed and ill-thought-through part of your overall argument--not something I expect from this channel.

As I was watching her video a few days ago, I was hearing your commentary in my head the whole time....

If she wanted to distance herself from the vegan community she could've just called herself vegetarian or just not talk about her lifestyle unelss asked. It seems like she never wanted to be vegan in the first place...

I don't think that animals and humans are on the same level but veganism is about recognizing that animals are sentient beings that can feel pain and don't deserve to suffer for our 5 minutes of pleasure. also how can people think that they are better or worth more than animals and nature? how could we humans exist on this planet if it wasn't for the biosystem, all these plants and animals living and working together in symbiosis? if nature and animals die, we die too

Who said if u vegan , you can not adopt animals... Wtf... Who making rules... Mad

This may be the best video of yours I've seen, and I've seen a lot of 'em. Super thorough, informative, and respectful. Well done, Swayze.

i love leather but i would never buy it firsthand which means that if someone i know is going to throw away anything in leather i’ll take it and if i buy it myself it’s always secondhand

*sees video* *clicks immediately* *smashes like button* *watches video*

Hello, I'd really love to see you talk about the fast fashion/ sweat shop topic. My knee-jerk reaction, having taught in a poor industrial region in Cambodia is to reject the industry but I'm well-aware that the issue is a lot more complicated and a large part of me still hopes that this initial, quite brutal industrialization will lead to more wealth and benefits for the population. It'd be quite different from your usual topics but could fit as it is connected to sustainability and environment preservation and seems to need some demystification.

I hate the argument I see that vegans only care about animals and don’t care about human rights or other issues when I find it is actually rare for the vegans I know to not be extremely aware of the impact their choices have on...pretty much everything

you probably won’t see this but, i love how unbiased you are. from watching i have no idea whether your catholic, atheist, or a total different religion. good job!

You knocked it out of the park on this one, Swayze.

i watched a couple of her videos about minimalism a while ago and then she uploaded a video talking about her pro-life stance and called people who are pro-choice "pro-abortion"... decided that was enough to stop watching

I haven't watched the video yet so I don't know how applicable my comment will be, but here's my take on the whole theological side of veganism (in relation to Genesis): I'm not Christian but I am a prospective convert to Judaism. Both of us follow the first five chapters of the Bible, called the Torah within Judaism. In Genesis 1:11-13 it says that G-d created seed bearing plants (fruits) and filled the land with vegetation, seeing this as good. In Genesis 1:20-26 G-d talks about the the birds and water animals which should be fruitful upon the earth. They then talk about land animals and how they should produce upon the Earth, however the names of the animals vary. In the NIV Christian version of Genesis the animals are referred to as wild animals and livestock. In the Torah version, which is in Hebrew, it refers to them as beasts and cattle. It also talks about humans ruling over the animals in both translations BUT says in the Torah and NIV Bible in Genesis 1:29 that G-d has given you every seed bearing fruit and vegetation, and it shall be the *humans'* to eat. My take from this is that with time and translation the narrative changed to fit the lifestyles of those reading the texts, Christians in this case. Hebrew is the original text of Genesis, making it the most reliable if someone is going to base their beliefs off of it. Not sure if this made any sense but my point is: Look at the original text of Genesis and it supports veganism.

Nasa just found my wig on the moon, such a good structured response.

Animal sacrifice is no longer practiced by the Jewish people. There is no beit hamigdash and therefore no animal sacrifice

Pulling "facts" from the bible is an act of desperation when you have nothing else meaningful to say

You are on fire with your latest updates! I really enjoyed the video, especially the fact that you are able to meet people where they are, and argue about Christian ethics without being a Christian. Most responses to people who justify eating meat with religion by atheist vegans is “your religion is fake!” Which is not helpful and doesn’t contribute to a productive debate.

You are so intelligent. I wish I could be as convincing as you are to shut people down. Your research is on point.

Very interesting what you said about buying fast fashion... I never thought about it that way. It’s been a while since I don’t shop this brands, as I believe that change is choosing who you give your money to. Instead I rather spend on more quality sustainable clothing (therefore consuming less as they are more expensive) or shop second hand. I thought doing this can help changing the industry. What can really be done then to change the bad condition that people suffer in this factories? Still supporting these brands that created this business structure seems counterproductive. (Absolutely love your videos by the way)

Why I am not Vegan: my cats. I love them, I want them to be happy and healthy and they need meat for that. My male cat also have liver problems and needs a special diet... I wont toy with the health of my animals. I also want to have cats in the future... this is the main problem I see for myself. Also honey. My grandpa is a beekeeper and I grew up with bees. He is a small beekeeper and I simply don't see a problem with honey (when it comes from small beekeepers). Like... they produce so much? I am not vegan... I eat mostly vegan and vegetarian at home and try to use as little animal products as possible. But I don't see a point to go completely vegan. I love my pets and I can't see myself having a vegan lifestyle. Sometimes I think I shouldn't even try because I will never be a full vegan and I will make people more angry with trying, do you know what I mean? Like... vegans will be angry because I am not a vegan and my family will be annoyed because of my eating habbits. Please don't be to harsh in the comments. I am really afraid to post this because of the angry vegan stereotype... but I would still love to hear some constructive help!

This video was SOO well done. You made a bloody good argument & covered all the bases extremely well 👏✊

I wish you had responded to her first video.it was truly disturbing. She's also an Evangelical Christian and anti vac

I just recently discovered your channel and I love your videos. You have such a calm way of explaining things without ever insulting someone and are always very well informed

You should do a TED talk on these topics....I came across your channel not long ago and now your my go-to -on the bus watch....the way you speak an debate these things are just so inspiring.. so researched and in such a calm unbiased manner... incredible

I literally just uploaded a video about acceptance and judgement in the vegan community. We're all vegan and we're all on the same team! It's OKAY to do vegan your own way.

I've made an entire video about why Christians should go vegan! I respond to the common anti-vegan Bible verses that people misinterpret and touch on Eden, how killing animals will be banned in the future, how all animals will be vegan, and even the fact that animals have souls and that heaven is vegan. All backed by Bible verses.

Just came across your videos, I love them !!! I love how much research and evidence you put into them. I also love that you explain both sides of most things and never hate on anyone for their personal choices. You just try an enlighten people and give them better information so they can make educated decisions. There are some things I strongly disagree with like people non vaccinating there children but I know that, that is my personal belief and opinion and me shoving it down someone else's throat won't achieve anything. The best we can do is give people all the information and let them make there decision because at the end of the day we all will anyway. Sometimes hate even makes people go in the complete opposite directions which is even more unproductive. I have begun binge watching ! Thank you for sharing your sophistication and intelligence with a world that certainly needs some rationalism.

Non vegan Christian here, who recently found this channel...I HAVE to say that I simply adored this video 🧡💛🧡💛 and want to thank you, UV, for making this!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The absolutely refreshing, non-mocking, well-researched position from which UV presented her arguments was such an unexpected surprise, and genuinely came as a relief to me. Again, having recently discovered UV, and thoroughly enjoying over the past few weeks watching through her backlog of older videos, I have found such enjoyment in listening to UV’s manner of expressing information about veganism (a topic I have had many questions about, and a desire to more thoroughly understand, for some time), nutrition , weight loss, parenting, and all manner of things she has covered over the years. I have been so fully enjoying her intelligence and perspectives on nearly everything she has made videos about thus far. I watch/listen to a LOT of You Tube throughout my daily activities, while driving and running errands, etc...& I find it difficult to continue watching and learning from those who routinely openly mock my choice to follow Jesus Christ, the Abrahamic Bible and the teachings therein. Even if it isn’t done routinely, so many You Tubers and people not on YT will condescend to those who are followers of Christ, and it grieves my heart so much. Christianity seemingly is the one remaining thing (aside from veganism, apparently, 😂😤) people still feel “safe” to freely criticize about others, applying none of the sensitivity that is expected today towards other belief systems and ways of life. People are called out immediately for being the bigots which they very certainly ARE if they are disrespectful towards anyone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, for example. However, Christians are held in the seemingly lowest esteem by those with other belief structures (atheists, agnostics, other religions) and are mocked and disrespected seemingly for sport IMO, in social media, regular media (like mainstream TV, movies and music), and on YT, outside of Christian channels. By the way, I do recognize that there is not a direct parallel between Christianity (seen as simply a belief structure to most) and being LGBTQ+ (considered by some to be a “way of life” or sexual orientation one makes a decision to adopt, SLIGHTLY similar to one consciously choosing to follow a specific theological belief structure as fact-and by others as plainly “living life out while loving those persons whom I was born attracted to. Period.”)...those very significant differences aside, I chose the parallel these two things as belief structures held which reflect in a way of life that is unflinching, hopefully that makes sense? Im in NO manner trying to minimize or pigeon-hole any persons. That said.... I honesty pray that UV will see this though since I doubt she will considering how old this video is, therefore I’m addressing my points more so to UV’s usual viewers. I apologize referring to her/you as “UV” but I don’t think she uses her actual name purposely-is that accurate? What she has done here in this video is incredibly rare to find on You Tube, (to the point of being an actual 🦄 )!! I, too, feel Sarah is absolutely atrocious at making any reasonable points in her video. She doesn’t seem to understand well that which she is trying to express, as she cannot verbalize her perspectives in an intelligent, fleshed-out manner which includes much supporting evidence or many persuasive arguments. I felt that she was making the most simplistic, “basic” excuses for most of what she said. I say this with full awareness that I am often atrocious at making some of my points when defending my firmly held beliefs and opinions. This is a thing I am constantly trying to improve upon. However, I am also (thankfully) NOT putting out videos on said OPINIONS/beliefs as she is.🤷🏻‍♀️ I just cannot state emphatically enough how much I appreciate the manner in which UV expresses herself and compiles her arguments. She missed her calling, in my opinion, to be an attorney! She would be difficult to beat!! Thank you, UV. You have attracted a PERMANENT subscriber!!!👏🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍

Thank you for your straight forward scriptural presentation of arguments against Sarah’s “Biblical reasons to eat meat.” I appreciate your including them, knowing that you are atheists but that you acknowledge your viewers varied religions, experiences, etc. This is something that I am always falling back on: the heavy Biblical argument for vegan/vegetarianism in the book of Genesis. I present my arguments assuming that the recipient believes in God (an argument for my Christian friends, you might say) - First, I remind people that when God gave the animals to humans, He did not give them to us to abuse or exploit. Instead they were given as companions to Adam, and he was charged with the responsibility of taking care of them. - I remind people that Adam and Eve were vegan in the garden of Eden (where God intended for them to live their entire lives.) He told them “you MAY eat from” any tree in the garden except for the one of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were not told to eat animals there. It was only after the fall (the sin of man) that man had to eat meat because of his expulsion from the garden and the new difficulties of growing food and working the land. - And finally, a reminder that many Biblical practices were redeemed by Christ’s death. Including animal sacrifice. The significance of sacrifice, ultimately paid by Christ, was felt by generations preceding His death, making the necessity of His death, God’s only son, that much more poignant. We recognize the significance of sacrifice because God’s sacrifice is so much more than anything we have ever had to sacrifice. Again, thank you UV for your kindly response to this section of Sarah’s video.

Tbh as a kid I used to try ad save worms from cooking themselves on pavements by picking them up and putting them onto an area with soil so they can make their little homes ;)

You addressed so much in this video and i thank you so much! I actually didn't even realize how long it was until i finished it. These arguments against veganism aren't the usual, where do you get your protein from etc and you were so clear and concise addressing the responses to them. I'm going to watch it again with my bf just to make sure i got it all. Lol it's really hard hard for me to talk to people about veganism when i feel like they often hide behind the religion to continue the cruelty. Thanks again!

This is my favorite talk of yours so far. I realize this was several years ago, but I am thankful that I found it! Very nice!

Finally first. Gonna make some tea and watch this.

I don't get when she says "All the animals are living in the grass, with each other happy and health...nothing sad is going down." I would say it's pretty sad to have one's head chopped off mid life.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the level of respect you presented in talking about faith. I think its a tough subject, specifically if you don't believe it and often its dismissed flippantly. You took a deep dive into the subject and were never dismissive of scriptures, knowing that this was an important facet of her life. I'm a Christian and a meat eater and I've often struggled with how I am supposed to eat from a biblical perspective. This video has opened my eyes and given me a freedom to investigate this with a different lens. I watch your channel all the time and always really love your insight. Thank you for always being a reliable source of solid info!

You were respectful of Sarah, but also countered her arguments so well. I ❤️ your channel!

I love the highlighting of the the real issue with corporations. It's not a secret conspiracy their job is to get money and they only answer to 2 parties their stockholders and the government (which can be corrupt, misguided, and bias too).

Thank you for this video. I feel like this addresses 99% of the more complex non-vegan arguments

Wow! I am subscribed to Sarah, (only for a few more minutes) and I enjoy her videos because I find them aesthetically pleasing and I like watching people organize. I often watch her videos before bed and she’ll say something that sounds like a clickbait headline and my husband will roll over and say “did she really just spout that nonsense?” I hadn’t seen her video that you discuss here, and I’m not impressed with her lack of reasoning or her attacking of others. I was watching her “what I eat in a day” video that was sponsored by the mushroom drink brand, which sounded like a gimmick to me. In the comments, I saw someone recommend your video on the brand, which is how I got to this video! You present facts and sources, and you reason! I am not a vegan, but my husband and I are discussing reducing our intake of animal products and I’m looking forward to watching your videos! Thanks!

I absolutely love how you do good research and use logical reasoning on everything. Clear information, clear research, neutral opinion. Thank you for all this!

"I base everything off the Bible." That's when I knew it was time to go.

Would love to see your opinion on Ashwagandha!

Just an amazing video explanation. Thank you so much for taking the time to post great content! Subscribed

Sarah’s video gave me so much anxiety because her following is quite large and I am so relieved and grateful for your video here ❤️❤️ I actually learned so much so thank you!

I say this all the time, but I loveeee seeing a different type of vegan that is not all, low protein, raw, allllll not processed food, completely closed minded to diets that aren’t just like theirs. I’ve been vegetarian then vegan for almost three years and I just loooove your channel.

can do you do a video on why you chose clothing made from artificial fiber instead of natural materials? I’m really interested in whether the carbon footprint is less for the artificial stuff. If artificial fiber pollute less than for example wool which doesn’t hurt the sheep is it then okay to wear wool?

You are a great speaker, I love to listen to you even without any pictures, great job!

The intellectual rigour you apply to any topic you cover is what makes you, in my opinion, SO essential as a public figure. KZfaq needs you. All of social media needs you. And we are all SO lucky that you choose to do what you do.

I understand being vegan but not openly calling yourself that . Because of the overall back lash, stereotypes etc. But saying you dont want to be vegan due to social media is stupid . That is what i believe , you're life does not revolve around social media . There is a whole world outside , the real everyday life. I personally think it is silly to make that a reason to give up. If you choose to try being vegan in the first place there might be reasons to back up that decision? own up to the real reason . I mean we all have a choice to what we want to share and what not. Having a account might that be Instagram, fb, twitter etc does not mean you over share. I don't careif people give up that is also a personal choice and right . Giving up is not like murdering someone . I dont understand why people think if there going vegan there joining a cult and giving up means something wrong, vile or doing something compared to murder. Veganism is a choice, lifestyle not something sacred. Why do people fear it?

You’re so pretty. Idk if you get that a lot, but it’s true. You’re also very smart, but I think that goes without saying

As a Christian I really appreciate this video. THANK YOU!!!

Always have great content based on thorough research. Very much appreciate your educated views and videos ❤️👏🏼

When you came at her with the bible cites I was like lmao

Another "fun fact" about the animal industy and green house gasses. The more cows are outside, the worse they are for the enviroment. If they are kept inside, the methane from the cows stays inside and can be used for other things, like heat. If they stay outside, the methane cannot be absorbed and instead it goes into the air.

It bothers me to NO END when people say "God gave us animals so we could eat them." I am and have grown up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints and members are supposed to follow the council of a "Word of Wisdom" that was written by Joseph Smith, and for SOME REASON, most members think that the Word of Wisdom basically says we're supposed to eat meat, when in fact it says that meat should be eaten only sparingly in times of winter or famine. In this day and age there literally is NO famine for anyone who has access to a grocery store in the United States.

I'm really interested in hearing more about the environmental effects of 'sustainable animals', like how much reduction would be necessary to counteract the increased methane.

I was vegan for a year and quit recently because I just really wanted to have some foods I wasn’t able to have as a vegan Im not American, I’m not British, I’m not french, I’m not Canadian, I live in a small country that hasn’t got many vegan options I can’t drive for 15 minutes to eat a vegan donut, I’m not aware of those existing where I live, no vegan pastries, only some coconut cookies I can’t cook due to my living situation Being vegetarian for now is just the option to go for As a vegan I felt like eating meat which is just weird to me because it didn’t happen as a vegetarian, I didn’t want to become a meat eater so I became a vegetarian again Will try veganism in the future when I get my own place in a few months though

Thank you for this video, not necessarily for the response to her, but for the information that you provided that taught ME a lot...from the part about grass fed beef to the stuff in the Bible that’s actually supportive of vegetarianism/ veganism.

There's a branch of the Seventh Day Adventists who point out that "mercy, not sacrifice," passage that you pointed out, and is that to endorse veg+nism within their sect. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Dr John Harvey Kellogg was one of the first (of not the first) mainstream physicians of his day to notice a link between heart disease and overeating red meat (studies since him seem to suggest that a moderate intake of red meat, say two meals a week, reduces the risk at a rate on par with a vegetarian diet, while Kellogg advised completely eliminating it from one's diet). He's also among the most famous Seventh Day Adventists (though there was allegedly a skirmish between him and his home congregation). Granted, he was also a crackpot who was obsessed with his own bowel movements, boasted that he'd never consummated his own marriage (all of his children were adopted), and advocated circumcision and carbolic acid clitorectomies to prevent children from masturbating - but, as they say, "even a stopped watch is still relevant twice a day."

I truly enjoy your videos! You are very informed and it is great to know about the fast clothing industry, I really thought it was better not to buy from them but you really opened my eyes! THANK YOU!!!!

Truly one of your best videos thus far

Logic steamroller! Loved this

I just discovered your channel and wanted to thank you for your science-informed videos. I'm not vegan but I'm deeply interested in learning more about it and being able to read the scientific literature you're basing yourself on is really valuable!

i like that you brought up the antibiotic free thing. i have wondered that when i saw antibiotic free chicken for sale are the supermarket and pondered what the farmers did to treat a chicken with a respiratory condition which is very common in over crowded, commercial chicken farms

Just found your channel and love your "philosophy" already. You are a lot like me. Glad I found you 😊

Those morality-themed response videos are my favorite. Honestly watching those kinds of videos from your channel was one of the main things that convinced me to go vegan about a year ago. I understand that they take more effort though and I appreciate it!

I've heard people talk about cows producing a bunch of methane/green house gasses, but I don't understand how not eating them solves this? Can someone explain it?

You are so articulate and I appreciate all the references. I was wondering if there are any plant-based products that you don't consume because of the harmful effects they have on the environment or humans? For instance avocado's that require so much water causing droughts or cashews where people have to dig through acidic fruits often without gloves. I hope you do a video about that, would love to know your opinions.
