I've been inspired by people like him to leave my software engineering job to start a plant based milk/coffee company. I want to rival Starbucks and, shamrock

Nobody give a fook about yur vegan story

Dear tv, pls be kind, have you seen how r pigs being gassed n electrocuted to death n how calves r separated from their mothers at birth so that their mother’s milk r used to feed humans? The baby calves climbed across the fence crying out for their mothers. I became a vegan after watching those images. N no one gives a damm toyour cruel meat eating habits. Damm you as well. Be careful of karma.

+Paola del Rocio Ardila Alvarado - Let me get out my little violin. I live on a very large dairy farm and if cows are in pain or distress they bellow. Pretty quiet around here. - As to vegan, I'm happily saving that for those who like it. Personally I'll eat meat.

Yeah, no thanks, you can keep your CULT for yourselves.

+Jessica Huff - Vegan is fine if that is what you want. All my life I've hated the taste of fruit (except pears). I only like a few vegetables, but love meat in all its forms. Oh and I only like cashew nuts, no other nuts. So you can have all the vegies and fruits, I'll stick with meat, and FYI, I live on a large dairy farm. Because of that I've very strong bones.

Dairy is extremely acidic for the body. Our body leaches the calcium from our bones to neutralize the acidity. The US has the highest rates of osteoporosis and bones fractures due to our extremely high dairy consumption.

Probably because they drink skim, 1% and 2%. Here on the farm we drink whole milk meaning with all the fats, and most of us never get broken bones.

Vegans have higher bone density than dairy consumers.

Likely funded by the dairy industry. Read The China Study.

Unilever and DuPont of two of the corporations that implemented SAI agriculture. It's all a scam with a great sales pitch.

***** Animals are sentient. Plants are not. Plants are not "one single source". There are countless plants used as food on the planet. Far more than for anyone to ever have to worry about going hungry.

WorldOfRandomStuff yes

+WorldOfRandomStuff - Some animals are not sentient. Worms, Snails, etc. However when you are done with this life, and your spirits decides to return to another life form, it might be a tree or a weed, or?????

benchkey Ever try cutting a weed? It continues to grow unless you take out the root. I'm not really sure what your point is. The torture and abuse of animals just for our tastebuds and clothes is egregious and unnecessary. As for worms and snails, even they know to run when in danger so I doubt they're not sentient. When you step on a worm, you see it coil up in pain. Plants don't have that reaction. Carrots don't scream when put into a pot of boiling water, potatoes don't scream when you peel them. But when you slice a lobster while alive or boil it alive you know it's in pain!

+WorldOfRandomStuff - I live on a very large dairy farm milking about 1,500 twice a day. The cows don't suffer, in fact they live a fine life. They are quiet and when they are quiet they are happy. Humans invest a lot of effort to keep their cows happy. I'm looking out the living room window every day and look over the herd in pasture. When do you think they are in pain? City people need to get a real agricultural education. You watch too much youtube videos showing cow abuse. Lets address that. Feed lots where cattle are headed to slaughter don't want distressed cows because if the cow is in distress their distress turns the meat dark and so is not salable except for dog food. Believe me no one wants to loose money on a cow sent to slaughter. Most of those distress cows video's are FAKE. If any employee is found to be harming cattle they are fired and blacklisted. While I'm not involved in other species of livestock I'm fairly confident that the situation is the same. Why are those video's faked? Mostly they are created by so called 'animal rights' organizations. Its a way of raising donations plain and simple. Who's going to send donations/money to an organization that shows healthy, well cared for animals? Think about it. OH and don't confuse pain for sentience. Sentience is the ability to think and be self aware. A worm, snail, etc feels pain but only reacts to programming so to eat and react pain. It is the same as you suddenly burning your hand, you pull away before your brain can react. You can be a vegan if you so desire, no one is stopping you, but please don't try and inflict your preferences on others. We don't see or taste the world as you do.

+cotes42 They use peas. Peas are the new replacer for almost all meat alternatives now, like Beyond Meat. :)

Marcus Fall I'm a homesteader, eggs are the easiest thing to produce, easier than a garden. You can have,a nice garden, eggs, and a couple goats on just a few acres.

@@cheryljeffali8251 the thing is, you just dont need eggs for nutrition. Our bodies font thrive off the cholesterol that eggs have. We need to supply our bodies with more raw natural organics from the earth. Alkaline foods are the way to go. Quit it with this thinking that we need animals to survive. It's the other way around. They need us to survive. What I mean by that, is they need us to start making smarter decisions for the sake of the future of the planet.

stevOkanevil TM one can say we don’t need grapes but you’d be lying to say we don’t derive any benefits from grapes as we do from eggs

farming animals uses too much water, land and food, meat doesn't cost enough, it should reflect the true costs.

Nobody's going to fix what's broken, so he's going to replace it.

im sorry but theres no fix...a least not for next 10 years!

Are you vegan yet?

Ideally everyone would do this, but most people don't live in areas where that's doable I have a dozen chickens at the moment but that is because I live in the country where we have space :)

Yeah, let's all raise our own chickens. That's brilliant.

Michael Styles well eggs aren't good for your body, plus it's not necessary.. pro life is much more compassionate and should be for everyone not just human animals.. imo :)

But you still have to buy soy and corn. I know, I had chickens that I free ranged and they still require an inneficient amount of food to convert to eggs. Also you have to kill a bird after 3 years to get another bird who will be productive. I am now vegan and am putting in my spring vegetable garden. This is a viable option for me so i am going to take responsibility for myself and my family.

It uses too many resources to feed chickens like that… Lab grown meat is better and the animals don't have to die!!!

+Mick Silkstone - Big YUCK!

+benchkey Not as gross as clogged arteries or food borne illness, I guarantee it.

If I look at how vegans are talking around me, I am sure that is not a cult I would want to belong to.

I have to clarify that I hate maltreatment of farm animals too. But first, show me that animals like chicken, pigs, ducks, cows and sheep are "thinking" beings, then I will grant them rights like humans. Second, prove to me that we have a moral obligation NOT to eat them.

Im vegan, but i didn't just do it for health. I did it for the environment and the animals… I honestly can't wait for lab grown meat….

when people start eating plants thats tastes like eggs and meat for less money $$...you`ll see

Unfortunately yes

How so?

"40% of corn crop for gasoline". Two reasons: 1. Because farmers get subsidized for their corn production and there is tons of it leftover, they have to do something with it. 2. The presidential elections begin in Iowa and nobody gets elected unless the support the corn industry 100%. Presidential primaries should rotate by small groups of states (5-8), group by group each election cycle.

+ManuFerrara and feeding chickens GMO soy is natural ? the system we have is absolutely not efficient, and will not work going forward. ive never seen a forest that needs fertilizer and pesticides yet, tons of $ is spent on chemicals, oil, transportation, storage etc... we need localized food. Permaculture can do it sustainably, but Monsanto and a few other companies will have to go away. they spend millions on lobbyists and campaign contributions.

Why would he do that lol

+Jerry Arns Life consumes other life? There is no moral or ecological high ground to being vegan? Firstly, the moral "high ground" lies in the fact that you're not taking an innocent animal's LIFE to feed yourself, when you can keep yourself healthy by not doing so. You're causing them pain, torture. There is no such thing as a humane killing. There's something called a conscience that we are born with. The ecological "high ground" lies in a vegan diet having a much, much reduced environmental impact than any animal-product-based diet. You say that they don't take into account symbiotic farming techniques. They don't because that's not how the majority of the industry operates! Methane sequestration is far, far from efficient. Given the rate at which we need to change, consuming animals is not a viable, sustainable option. And the idiot that you refer to, Savory, is the biggest fraud known to the environmental movement. So my friend, I understand your hesitation when it comes to plant based diets, but I urge you to try one out.

Rashmit Arora​​ Life does consume other life, ie animals eat animals, bateria eat other bacteria. From a universal natural law perspective there is nothing wrong with this , in fact the ecology that humans evolved in was dependent on this happening. I am not bothered by your priciple to not eat animals .... One's which we are also able to emotionaly bond with... it is noble and very healthy to practice(which I do from time to time) But you should have no right to claim that eating only vegtables is better than not, morally or ecologically. You are right about our current state of agriculture yet this is not justification for vegetarianism. I'm afraid your understanding about the role of animals in the ecosytem is lacking due to the lack of desire to seek such information. Animals are playing a pivitol role in the new methods for growing food , they build healthy nutrient dense soil and increase species diversity and ecological balance. 

as humans there is morality involved in every aspect of life... So Faming plants to create food is better tham farming animals...dont you think?

@@PhilosopherArns humans eating farmed animals has nothing to do with ecosystems, natural laws, building natural nutritionally dense soil or increasing species diversity and ecological balance, quite the opposite, we arificially inseminate selective bred animals (most of wich would not survive in the wild), we keep them trapped in small enclosures and feed them huge amounts of legumes and cereals to send them to slaughter as babies creating enormous cesspools of waste that contaminate soils and water when we could be feeding far more people and contaminating much less by skipping the animals in the middle and eating plants directly and freeing land to rewild and regenerate ecosystems.
