Oh great thank you! Yes sometimes is disheartening seeing the crap that goes viral, but then I remember all the people I am helping and I am motivated again. :D

@siwuz84 He did point out that other greens (like spinach) have oxalic acid which can be problematic. Hard to respect that you say " He never ever informed his viewers about the potential risks ..." when he did that. Maybe your strong antiveggie bias made it difficult for you to hear. That might prevent you from hearing things that could be good to know. If your nutritional beliefs fail you in the future, remember the alternatives.

@siwuz84 there are always alternatives. Well balanced for who? Some perspectives you might consider: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLN-ZL2gxMmbj3U.html

@siwuz84 I agree that "vegan" does not really describe a diet, more what one DOESN'T eat. Coca cola and potato chips is vegan, but hardly healthy. I eat "whole food plant based, low SOS (salt oil sugar)" and try to include fermented stuff like sauerkraut, combucha and bread and a big portion of what I eat is cooked. Some people say that meat was what allowed us to develop our brains, but I find that the discovery that we've been cooking much longer than previously thought supports that COOKING was the big change that helped us get the nutrition/energy needed. (It could let us get MORE out of plants and also make meat, which in raw form is not very tempting for herbivores like us :-), into something we could eat) There are 10 times as many cells in (the bacteria) in our gut than in the rest of our entire body. They make many essential things that we need to be healthy (for immun system) and happy (for our hormones). They can and do use fiber. Smoothies can have many advantages, but one disadvantage is that least nourishment is left for the bacteria! I don't know if you checked kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLN-ZL2gxMmbj3U.html , but you haven't mentioned it. It is about a lot of different signs that we are basically herbivores. Several things in it were new for me. Please give it a look and if you find errors point them out. Otherwise embrace the herbivore sides of yourself! :-)

@siwuz84 The human body is amazingly able to adjust to so many different situations. Though I think that most people think that humans used more animal stuff than we did historically (and prehistorically), I'm thankful that humans have been able to eat meat in difficult situations, esp far from the equator, but that doesn't make it the best food (though it is better than nothing when you're starving). You continue to write "We are omnivores after all,". Have you checked the video I linked to? I hope you will. Do you see any errors in it? I have during some periods eaten raw eggs, gone back to "real butter" and haven't felt any radical changes in how I feel. I've basically been able to "eat anything" most of my life without any acute problems. I do feel that the changeover to whole plantbased food was an important part of being able to get my weight down where I wanted (From BMI 26 to around 21-22) without any calorie counting, portion control, hunger. (Though eating connected to emotional stress is a very important factor). Glad that you feeling good on what you are eating. Glad that there is the whole plant road for you to try if things change for you. The most common death type in US is heart attack. Unfortunately there are many people that feel fine and have (so called) "normal" levels of colesterol etc. but have a intense heart attack that kills them, before they can try changing their diet. "They arent good at all for my digestion" What happens?

He is always watching.. :p

It was the cutest thing ever!

@@nfamoudou best part of a great video

I missed it! :(

@@Divya736 12:12

Ooo I’m going to try that for my shake! Thanks

Sounds good

Every day I have Ginger, Kale, Spinach, Bannana, Lemon, Cucumber, Chia Seeds and Celery in a shake, makes me feel awesome

@Ryan nice, I have wulnut milk, kale, dandelion, seamoss, mangos, strawberry, burdock, bladderwrack, hempseeds. Full of protein and full of energy

Yes or wash it really well!

Even better, try to grow your own. At least you're in control of how organic it really is.

Still much lower pesticides than eating animals, which bioconcentrate the pesticides they consume from grains and soybeans.

@@baohoainguyen really? That's why organic everything

Yes and Yes. Great ideas! Tempeh or soy?

@@Simnettnutrition I'd say both.

All of the above!

@@Simnettnutrition do a fermented foods video - you can put sauerkraut, Kim chi and kombucha together. I would do it, but you are the you tube expert :) :)

@@Simnettnutrition both...

"Massage your kale" I would definitely rock that shirt, and if someone understood, they would probably be a vegan.... .

Kale is beautiful in soup! I pretty much add a big bunch of kale at the end of every one-pot meal I'm making.

2 big handfuls kale Large glass of water 1 banana 1 cup frozen mango Blend enjoy Yum less green taste compared to spinach

Yes you know all the secrets! I will have to do more soups with it.

Recipe, please? Sounds great!

Omg that soup sounds great 😯

We’d love the recipe! Sweet potato, white bean soup with kale? Yes, please!

@@christiebvr yop

Wandering Goblyn lol hilarious!!😂😂

that was my favourite part of the video for sure. super funny!

Thanks so much! That means I am keeping you entertained. :D

Hey right back at you! I am so far. It was a late night, but I woke up and put the video live and am reading some nice comments. Pretty good day so far. Sunny outside too!

Alena .Zubritckaia you should try planting it! I live in the north east USA and it’s pretty cool here but kale grows very well in my back yard and it’s quite easy to care for :-)

That is crazy. That so often happens with exports. Collard greens is another great one. Russia has always fascinated me, I would love to visit one day. I know they love their pull-ups over there.

@@jmarie6344 thanks a lot! I'll definitely try. live in a place where we have really harsh winters but very hot summers as well. It looks like Texas in summer) So things grow quite nicely. We grow apricots, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, blackberries, watermelons and so on and so on. We can grow a fantastic variety of plants, but they're not a staple in the local diet because people are not rich in the least and tend to choose more "filling" or cheap veggies like potatoes, carrots and cabbage. And literally nobody eats greens. I was buying arugula the other day and it cost like 1.5 american dollars. The girl at the checkout asked me if I knew for sure what it was, because most people confuse it with parsley (40 cents). We are not a green eating nation, apparently 😅

@@Simnettnutrition and I've always dreamed about visiting Canada. What a funny world we live in. Oh boy, pull ups are like an entire separate kind of sport here. I don't know how it is in Canada, but we have pull up bars in every little neighborhood next to playgrounds. And just like you, a lot of sporty men can't walk past a pull up bar without doing a couple 😅

Spinach has relatively similar antioxydant contents to kale, for many anticancer compounds it actually systematically outperforms kale according to research shared on nutrition facts. So if you can get that and have kale in season, it's not too bad.

Ohh that sounds good. I've never baked it except for kale chips.

How to mix it ?

@Paras finn lol vegans eat loads of thiamine

we don't have bacteria in our stomach like herbivores do, which is needed to break down fiber. We only have bacteria our gut, like many apex predators. GG vegans

@Cthulhu According to whom? XD That statistic is smelly like it came out of your ass. BTW what's a cranist? An all cranberry diet? You misspelled the punchline XD

@Cthulhu This study certainly covered many people but it is not really accurate since the average person is not healthy. Certainly, a vegan diet is better than a processed food heavy diet. Fiber has benefits and it has cons, as does any non-essential nutrient. Again, we don't have the necessary bacteria to turn fiber into fat as ruminants can. Being in ketosis, however, grants the same benefits as fiber. There are no studies outright comparing a ketogenic diet to a vegan diet, unfortunately, but one can simply research both the benefits of fiber and ketosis to see the similarities. Science will always be behind because it aims to be precise and truthful so as an ex-vegan, I have no choice but to trust my own biofeedback. I've tried veganism for 2 years and now carnivore. Can you say the same?

@Cthulhu You're gonna have to find it for me because last time I checked we pass it out. Even soluble fiber isn't digestible, it only soaks up water and turns into a gel-like substance, useful for passing toxins through and out the digestive tract. That's interesting, was the meat grass-fed/no antibiotics? Did you it eat raw, lightly cooked, or well done? Diarrhea makes sense because the stomach flora always have to adjust to large dietary changes but a fever is surprising. It doesn't make sense to get a fever unless perhaps you've developed some kind of allergy to meat. A fever isn't something I can pinpoint with any certainty though, unfortunately.

Deep Desai Im interested on that too

YES! You have no idea how many stores I went to to get good tahini for this video. I found one brand I liked and the store stopped carrying it. All the stuff we get around here is so gritty and dry. What is up with that? How is it that the Middle East are the only ones who know how to grind sesame seeds properly?

@@Simnettnutrition I cant find tahini anywhere in my city

@@leejohnston3633 you could try to make your own

yum!

Have you tried growing & using Wild Garlic? That's a super-tasting weed local to me, grows in shady, damp locations and spreads well. I pick leaves from early April through June and use them cooked or raw. The seeds are edible and can be mixed in/rolled onto bread dough. The bulbs are mild flavoured, much better for those of us who don't care for the more pungent supermarket type. I know the bulbs can be roasted and stored in oil, but don't know of a suitable oil-free way of storing them. Will have to start experimenting there!

You could try to grow it yourself!!?

Yay these videos are working!

Derek - throw a bit of turmeric and black pepper in that dressing for some color (and added benefits). I make a similar dressing with a touch of sriracha as well!

lol. i am digging the food series videos Derek! i actually learned new things about kale. :D also, i think that lacinato is pronounced "lah-sin-ah-toh". www.pronouncekiwi.com/Lacinato%20kale much love. ;)

Sam Svalander When I read about how much glyphosate is in oats, which is sprayed on merely for uniform drying, I went to 25-pound bags of whole organic oats cooked in my instapot. Looks like wheat berries, tastes deeelish

Just pet Coco,he's a good 🐱

You read my mind... or just know the foods I like. ;)

@@Simnettnutrition wild blueberries

@@Simnettnutrition Been on a kick of stuffing baked sweet potatoes with blueberries

Canada has some good blueberries. I bought their export couple times, they're legit! really dark blue... not like the UK big ones where blue is only the skin

@@Simnettnutrition haa yea I know what food you like! I've got a daily blueberry habit. Got some growing at home this year - should be all good. Really like the videos mate! Keep doin what ur doin!

That is so cool!

In Germany we just call it "green cabbage".. That's just how Germans roll I guess:D

Just sprinkle some seaweed on top: www.limafood.com/en-gb/product/salade-du-pecheur-flakes-shaker 2 teaspoons gives you 150mcg of RDA for iodine! :)

;)

Dandelion?

How about we stop trying to make weed appear cool and harmless?
