PLANT BASED NEWS petition signed...the public need to be given a fair chance to hear all sides. Blatant deceit is just shocking

PLANT BASED NEWS typical bbc.... BBC thinks it’s special, with their old draconian tv licence bullshit. BBC isn’t anything worthy of a draconian tax.

Please check the petition link - it redirects to another website selling supplements.

well said.

eric jones I remember that quote from somewhere. Good quote

@@mildreddavis1684 Upton Sinclair said that quote in the documentary "The Inconvenient Truth".. "It is hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it " (not exact words)

Deep and true

I thought the tragic case of Jim Fixx (google him if you're a youngster) had put a permanent end to that idea.

Ajit Varsani better call the doctor!

James 1984 he needs a plant based doctor. Will help him to lose excess weight clear his arteries and improve his complexion.

+James....haha! ;)

He's ugly!

@@likesarah7119 Ugly inside and out.

I would say he's more like Yoda: 'Whole Food Plant Based, you must eat'

Alexander Jeans Exactly, carcass crunchers carry no credibility. "As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other " ~ Leonardo Da Vinci The Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness [ fcmconference.org/img/CambridgeDeclarationOnConsciousness.pdf ]

Peter Rabitt agreed!

hobbitkicker The best kind of savagery - words with science-based facts mixed with conviction

People just haven't been taught. Most people know at most only that vegans do not eat animal flesh, eggs, or milk (other than human mother's milk in infancy), so they assume that to be the definition of veganism and have no way of knowing that it is the result of veganism. The word veganism was coined and officially defined by the original Vegan Society as "the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals." The other problem is that there is no simple, memorable, one word term for "whole foods plant-based diet," so it is easy to slip into using the term vegan has as "shorthand" even though it is not accurate. Personally, I prefer the term "practicing herbivore."

Maybe WFPBers should start calling themselves "Edenites" in commemoration of Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Or: Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Genesis%201:29

They always say that! I lost weight from a non plant based diet and still had health issues. It didn't get me off my pain meds, my BP meds, I still had high cholesterol which my Drs said they should get better. Then I slowly gained the weight back plus some. I watch McDougall and though we'll, it can't hurt! I lost 75lbs the first yr and within months I was off BP meds, pain meds, and 6 months later I was off cholesterol meds! My other health issues started to reverse! No other diet ever did this!!!! I lost a total of 100lbs and am finally at a healthy weight and feel great!

TwoSnakes OneSword That is REMARKABLE! Congratulations! 🎉 🎉 🎉 👏 👏 👏 👏

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing and well done Annette

Annette Fowler You are remarkable!!! What a positive inspiration you are!!! We are all very proud of you! 🌹

mildred davis Awwwww, thank you so much! 💚💚💚

If flesh eating dies out, I think it will be a very slow process. First, the livestock industry is probably the most profitable branch of agriculture, so the supply side will not easily go away, and its profits will always give it political leverage. Second, humans are status-obsessed creatures. Third, because it consumes more resources, animal flesh will always be more costly than plants, and the greater inherent cost of animal foods make them high status foods by default. Paradoxically, some of the worst externalities of flesh-eating make it more likely, not less, to be perpetuated. Fourth, Plato and Aristotle already understood 23 centuries ago that plants were healthier and less resource intensive than animal foods, yet dead animal consumption has not died out. Even earlier, Pythagoras was the first "ethical" vegan, and vegetarians/vegans were known as Pythagoreans for many centuries, yet his example did not spread. The Bible presents plants as man's original diet, and pre-Enlightenment Christians held that animal flesh consumption excited man's carnal passions, and any animal with a spine was abstained from during Lent and similar periods, yet consistent abstinence from animal flesh remained rare even among very pious believers. So spread the word, but do not wait breathless with anticipation.

"any animal with a spine", more accurately, mammals, poultry, and any sea creature with a spine, however reptiles and amphibians could be consumed even during Lent, probably because these types of animals were likely to be consumed by the poor. Shellfish was also not considered a luxury food when these rules were adopted.

Yes. To argue with a character like Yeo is a total waste of time for a serious scientist like Dr. Campbell. Yeo's ignorance and dishonesty do not deserve a response.

@@realalsenor 🤣 serious scientist?

Dr Yeo calls them ,"Diet related diseases" himself on this video.

Me tooooo so gd

I keep seeing that time stamp in comments as a great part and the desire to skip to there is HUGE 😊 I'm gonna watch it through though but I was always the person who skips to the back of the book to see how it works out ☺

Julian Warmington yes it was spot on...

Right?! I was so impressed how much work he put into his interview. Obviously came prepared as hell! Wish more interviewers did that....

"why the opposition exists?" MAMMON. WFPB diets are good for health, but bad for profits. No more complicated than that.

Neoteric Phoenix For profit$

Meat vs disease

thank you!!

Michael Billups Agree. Give them the rope..and wait

You mean Plant Pure Nation(2015)? Yeah. great documentary :-D

Well done on that interview!!!

"Yeo've" no idea! LOL!

Paul J Kimberlee I am going to find more vegan friends 👍☺

EM More like Klaus the Master (interviewer)

sajfen It is as if the latest science of epigenetics is not talked about

Is it even about genetics though if you can circumvent the "genetic" outcomes by just doing the opposite?

thank you my friend!
