Thank you ❤ I love Plant Based News. You inspire me to keep doing all I can!

@Vegan Linked You're too kind ! Thank you for all that you do!

Totally agree!! 🌺✋🏼

❤️

Agreed ❤🙏 Vegan for Animals.

As much as possible, yeah. If you pay tax you are contributing to Primary Industries. Unfortunately we can't fully get away from it 😥

@@thekrrib I don't think that nowadays a person can say that he or she is 100% vegan. You might do a vegan diet, but the industries add animal products in almost everything, even in house materials, like paint and what not.

I'm sorry you didn't have the support you needed when you were a child, hopefully life has made up for that and gave you some wonderful people to meet later

@@TamaraSL most vegans don’t have support from their families.

@@annaal7480 family members might not be thrilled they have to adjust how they cook for you or how to include you into family dinners, but that is different from verbal abuse and complete lack of acceptance. I don't think that reaction is at all normal and I hope that people will grow in kindness over time.

Thats a crazy story. Unfortunately I did as I was told, only figured out that I didn't need to eat animals until I was in my 20's... even then my parents were worried about me haha

You are an incredibly strong person! You are an inspiration!

Incredible to hear!

I met a 60yo lady like that. 👍

Reminds me of Nina and Randa. They are like vegans since foetus stage! =O

That is a gifted life...please keep up with your vegey protein and calcium long term. I had to learn this lesson.

I think that says more about Cleveland than anything else. I went vegan as a teenager in 1995 and although it was not common no one was confused about it.

Im 32 years old and i have only my 2 year vegan in august 🙈. I life in a Rabithole like the Matrix

It's never too late, keep it up :)

...switched last year at the ripe old age of 59 as well. 👍

lol. the longest living ppl eat meat.

Do you have amalgams? I am thinking of removing mine.

@@michaelt8388 I don't but I would remove them

How's your health was it good and have you mantained well

@@Chris-kr7gg I never go to a doctor, never take any medicine and no vaccination! I swim every day, do yoga, go dancing a few times in a week and hiking in the mountains. I will never understand how humans can eat dead animals.

@@gerhardparr Damn Gerhard good for you! Would love it if you made a little video like this crew, I would feature it

Damn!! That's quite the determination!!!

wowy

@Riki P. 50 years

we can never have a vegan world so long as some of us care about our health...

@@ascendtoaesthetics What's your proof?

@@nigelpearson7228 proof of what? proof that I'll never go vegan?

@@ascendtoaesthetics How can you prove the future?

1985 here and I have heard it all about my health ever since. today I am strong and healthy. Most in my peer group are gone or struggling with health! I am so relieved mote people are speaking up about the truth.

@@WFPBFORLIFE I am pleased that you are in good health , it’s not easy when you get past 60 , thank you from the animals.

@@normhanson981 I will be 60 bery soon, thanks.

@@normhanson981 same back at you

Same, only 2 months for me for now but no way am I stopping soon

Good for you.

I see my doctor just to get yearly blood tests and the tests come back good every year

@@vietnamd0820 How was your cholesterol levels ?? And how long you've been vegan

@@aspirewot8408 I’ve been vegan for five years… my cholesterol is good…here’s the most recent results: Triglycerides 70 Cholesterol 157 HDL 38 LDL 105 Cholesterol/HDL ratio 4

@@vietnamd0820 Thanks for sharing your report that's actually really nice your ldl seems normal , but idk that hdl is kinda low but I guess it's okay?

How fantastic, thank you for sharing your journey to become vegans.

Are we Herbivores? Do we have grinding teeth, long gi tract and can we digest very well vegetations? Or you mean frugivores, like primates.

My memory has improved also! I'm 62, vegan in my 7th year :))

We’re not freaking herbivores smh

Yes, a whole food plant based diet is the gold standard, any processed diet comes with health risks.

I think people need to come to it on there own. But at least you’ve planted the seed!

I agree but we have to break the cognitive dissonance however we can

As long as people are doing it, I don't care if they do it for the animals, their health, the environment or just because. Let's be grateful.

Same here and I agree, Helen!! 💚 I can highly recommend the channel Vegan Linked from where these clips are taken!

Don’t lose hope, it gets easier! No one believed me when I turned vegan and they thought it was just a fad. Been vegan for 10 years now! You will be surprised at how much new food you will discover.

Trying is the best start. It takes time at first. But then you find fun, creative ways to make beautiful food.

The planning bit is just in the beginning. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes as easy if not easier than eating a diet with meat. Just ask if you'd like some pointers. I've been vegan for 6 years.

I would say keep it simple; when starting out just eat what you are used to eating, but substitute the animal products with vegan alternatives. Then gradually, introduce other meals. I went vegan pretty much over night, didn't really know what to eat, but then again the victims was the reason and so "this is the way"

The hardest thing about being vegan is everyone else. Even my friends asked me, "where are you going to get your protein?" when I told them. And they assumed it wouldn't last, either. Now some of them have gone vegan themselves. I've been vegan since about April 2020 and went vegan because of COVID-19. I refused to fund the creation of more zoonotic pandemics. The more I learn about the USDA and FDA regulations and reports, the happier I am I went vegan. I don't know where you live but at least here in the U.S. it's legal for animals to be cannibals, even cows despite us knowing about mad cow disease since the 80's. Only certain parts of cows, though. We wouldn't want to feed them anything unhealthy. LOL Same for chickens and pigs. They are often fed the corpses of their own species and each other. If a cow died of tuberculosis, it's perfectly legal to grind it up and feed it back to a chicken someone then ate at Wendy's. There is no law against that. It's also legal to feed cows the entire corpse of pigs and horses, fur, eyes, brains, hooves, and everything. It's also legal to feed animals: urine, feces, growth hormones, and antibiotics. Giving them antibiotics is causing antibiotic resistance which will negatively affect every human on the planet. According to the USDA, cows alone have leukemia (which humans CAN get from them. It's a zoonotic disease. It's how we got leukemia.), AIDS, several strains of staph infection, several strains of strep infection, mastitis infection, and mycoplasma infection. Like Dave Gardell said, the easiest way to start out is to eat what you already enjoy eating and just take the animals out of it. Instead of eating scrambled eggs with vegetables, I made potato scramble. Oatmeal is very easy to make vegan. Instead of goulash with beef, I added extra kidney beans. Bean burritos, lasagna, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and so many other dishes are very easy to make vegan. You can do it! Let us know if you need any advice or recipe ideas. :)

@Mrs. Summers Because vegetarianism and veganism can be very healthy, and veggie/vegan food can sustain you, for you to thrive and live a long life…

I wonder at what age ur hair started turn grey ? (Due copper deficiency ) ?

@@anir8023 There is copper in a variety of plant foods like nuts, seeds and green leafy vegetables, among others. Stop spreading misinformation.

@@MindVersusMisery nuts and seeds are very high in PUFAS which sooner or later will lead to various illnesses. I’m not spreading misinformation, we all know u can’t get amount of bioavailable copper from leafy greens compared to oysters .

@@anir8023 I would like a reference to your claim that nuts and seeds cause illness. All science I personally have read suggest the opposite.

Similar stats here; went vegan in 2005, and stopped eating flesh in -97! ✌ I was diagnosed with MS in 2002, had food/pollen allergies and thyroid problems... All symptoms went away and I haven't been on meds since going vegan.

Did you investigate why? Did you determine the causal mechanism? I have been vegan for 5 years. No issues at all.

I'm so glad you agree that vegans should not be allowed to continue to be silent beneficiaries of crop protection permits and neonicotinoids.

@@GarlandFarms opinion on dog meat

I'd also make sure to keep up your iron intake as this can take a hit for runners, being male it's less of an issue, but eat lots of leafy greens and lentils. I'd also recommend turmeric and cherries (frozen are good or juice, also high in iron) for their anti inflammatory properties to help recovery. Coconut water makes a really excellent sports drink as it's high in electrolytes. Hope this is useful...happy vegan running (join vegan runners??) ✌️💚

I can be your vegan friend! Im vegetarian...trying to go vegan ...all the best on your vegan journey!💚😎

@@appleapplepiepie what made ya switch to the vegetar side

No MSG with that stir fry?

Eat tempeh, beans... But I have a gut feeling a 2 day water(or similar, perhaps with broth, tea) fast will help your body reset. Sounds like you aren't absorbing much of what you eat. All the best

Hopefully you’re also eating whole grains, legumes and beans.

Just stop the stupid slave diet.

Hell yeah dude. 💪🏼

Why not ?, Why is it fishy ?

@@aspirewot8408 It would be very odd to be a vegan 50 years ago... I think they were just vegetarian (which I also am for 25 years now, but vegan only the last 10 years)...

veganism has been around in the west since the 40s, and before then it existed but wasn’t termed “veganism”. it’s perfectly plausible that they were vegan 50 years ago

@@mongom6738I still doubt it...

It is. Like climate change and the covidian sect.

Fish isn't vegan. Salt and vegetable oils are.

Very true. More dr. Types less spiritual types. But I got to say, my wife has gone Whole Food plant-based vegan for about a year-and-a-half now for her psoriatic arthritis and it's working incredibly well. It's the turning it into a religion type of thing that bothers me a little. She's not there yet but I see it coming.
