Why are so many people afraid of MSG? As you said, it occurs naturally in a lot of food items but the pure MSG that we can buy is also extracted from a fermentation process based on starch and other natural sources. There just seem to be such a strong bias against MSG because it is associated with cheap Chinese restaurants and therefore is inherently "bad" and "unnatural" to consume.

Plastic-free is quite hard and sometimes you will opt for paper products only to find a plastic package inside the paper or cardboard package itself. In addition, I recently learned plastic grocery bags are made with animal fat to create a slippery texture to avoid sticking from static. Tough times. Even bulk bins are stocked from plastic containers.

Hi Derek! I know and respect that you are working hard on the health aspect. But the tip about trying to avoid waste was a great video idea! I love the idea of zero waste and i myself am trying to do anything I can to switch to be more waste free. Not sure how far I can go with it but things like making my own oat milk and cooking my own beans, and doing what I can not to waste plastic feel like great things as they are. It's a good feeling to do what you can.

Hi Derek, I know you mentioned Iodine in a previous video but I thought I would mention that I find we need more than the RDA. In fact, I'd suggest all the iodine is gone by the time your salt hits your table, if you use salt. Iodine evaporates very fast. There are lots of site on the internet suggesting you need more and they suggest way higher amounts. I bring it up only because broccoli pulls iodine out of your system (its goitrogenic) and if you start to get cold hands and feet, it is likely due to low levels of iodine. Yesterday I noticed my feet were cold while out on a walk and forgot about it. I then noticed it again this morning. So I put a few drops of Lugals (Iodine in water) into a cup of water. Now after a few hours my feet are toasty warm again. So if people are getting cold feet or hands they should look into it. Read a lot and ask questions. Most doctors won't know about this for much the same reason they don't know about the need for a WFPB diet to stay healthy. I hope this helps.

On the plastics.. we tried for 3 months to go plastic free. We live in Norway... I think if I were living somewhere warmer with a good farmers market it would have worked better - but halfway through we started to feel SO limited in our choices. I did not feel we were getting the nutrition we should. So, we decided to do the best we could instead of 100% plastic free. It took lots of internal struggle to get to that point though. The easiest first step is to take your own bags and produce bags! And if there is a plastic free option always get that :)

Colony Co. sells produce bags I purchased from Amazon and use for bulk items and veg/fruit. Bulk stores like Costco will be harder since those foods come prepackaged...I’d say go for the least packaged (single wrapper) and finding a coop that sells braggs/soy sauce/vinegar in bulk where u fill your own jars - which reminds me - buying a huge amount of bulk foods online is one way to reduce packing (like 1 gallon of braggs as opposed to several 10 oz bottles) and 5 lb of beans as opposed to 1 package of lentils. I hope that helps!

I've been working hard at squeezing in iron sources into my diet, but my ferritin and b12 is still super low months later. Even eating vegan sources I'm having a heck of a time cramming enough spinach and pumpkin seeds down my gullet to meet the daily RDA, let alone get above that to replenish my stores. What advice would you give to anemics wanting to enjoy a vegan lifestyle?

A good rule of thumb I learned from Food Network in regards to storing nuts and seeds is ‘Nuts have oil, and oil can spoil.’ Essentially they all should be stored in the fridge. In regards to the plastic question, I absolutely struggle with that as well. I do 90% of my shopping at Trader Joe’s because they are the most affordable, but it seems that all of their produce is in plastic. If I go to another store, I pay a dollar extra per item to get it plastic free. Its super frustrating.
