Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Release any feelings of shame, guilt or blame because EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS IN DIVINE ORDER. Instead of crying ..........I suggest that you give yourself a GREAT BIG HUG😍🤗😘💯‼️‼️‼️

I would let the chicken eat me but I would not touch her egg either if I were the last person with the chicken on the planet.

Yet most carnivores look great too. Large majority of people can't eat those foods due to the gut issues that come from those foods. Only thing I will say is both ways of eating eliminates processed foods, which is important.

for sure. Vegan STRENGTH!

@lululove6175 The way people look doesn't always tell you the whole story about the state of their metabolic health. We see this everyday at the hospital where I work (I am a clinical/research scientist based in pathology). We see many seemingly "fit" people with all the symptoms of metabolic syndrome including high blood pressure (from hyperinsulinaemia with an elevated fasting insulin), low HDL/LDL but upper normal or elevated Triglycerides, upper normal or elevated HbA1c, normal, upper normal or elevated blood glucose. Central obesity may or may not be visible. I personally know many skinny fit people including close friends (we serve a population of about 2 million with a majority of Asians who are mostly plant based) who are on blood pressure medication and are pre-diabetic. So unless we see detailed blood works over a period of time, interviews like this do not mean much at all unfortunately. It's a pro plant-based channel at the end of the day and will by definition, push forward pro plant-based narratives. I can actually "see" the muscle loss on that athlete. We shall have to agree to disagree on this. She certainly has good genetics and she might be naturally slim/fit as she is as well. At first glance, she certainly looks strong enough. Her legs and calves for e.g. are very toned. However, I am inclined to believe that her build would be different and "fuller" on an animal based diet (it's more apparent around her upper body) and you won't convince me otherwise based on my actual real life experience.This becomes more apparent in vegan athletes (with no protein supplements) as they grow older and sarcopenia naturally occurs. I have challenged Dr. Brooke Goldner on one of her YT videos where she "attempted" to explain to a naive audience how animal based food cause inflammation by using the Arachidonic acid pathway to make her point. So her conclusion was that all animal based food should be removed to eliminate that pathway leading to inflammation. It's a completely nonsensical and disingenuous way of using half-truth to distort facts and support a biased narrative very much like the way vegans are quick to blame IGF1 which increases from a meat based diet for an observed increase in all cause mortality from a study taken out of context. The Arachidonic acid pathway is very much needed to maintain the right pro vs anti inflammatory balance for tissue repair an immunity for example. Too long to elaborate. LIkewise IGF1 is critical in the right amount. Exercise also increase IGF1 for instance and high cortisol and insulin can be very damaging to health. So what are we to conclude? Hopefully you see where i'm going with this. I won't even get started on saturated fat and LDL or the absurdity of the "meat causes cancer" narrative. I have far too much to say about all that with evidence. People like us who have a level of expertise in the field are able to critically appraise those "vegan experts". Sadly, the vegan community can't do the same as most in that sphere are not informed enough. Feel free to do what you want based on your sense of ethics (although I believe vegans do not have the moral/ethical high ground at all as ethics encompass many aspects of life...let's talk about abortion for example...most if not all vegans I know are liberals and pro-abortion in support of the "my body my choice" narrative which to me is completely hypocritical if one cares so much about "life"). So I still understand and respect the "ethical" aspect of veganism but It is certainly NOT based on unbiased science and that's a fact that can be substantiated by verifiable and reproducible scientific data/explanations. The likes of Dr. Greger, Dr. MacDougall, Dr. Neil Barnard, Dr. Walter Willett, Dr. Christopher Gardner among many others, do not represent "science" as a whole. There are equally if not far more qualified experts in their respective fields who hold views in complete opposition to those aforementioned "experts". You can find them on channels such as The Metabolic Health Summit, The metabolic Mind, Diet Doctor Podcast, Public Health Collaboration, Low Carb Down Under, Low Carb Conferences, InsulinIQ among many other channels. My advice to vegans is that you get out of your echo chamber and try to hear the opposition. There's far too much to elaborate on. Maybe I'll come back to this another time If I can.

@@youbeever methinks the lady doth protest too much.

⁠Dr Wareham Ellsworth - vegan for over 60 yrs - died at 104, Dr Schallenberger - veg his whole life - still lecturing worldwide at over 100. Mike Femont - 101 yr old vegan runner. Dr T Colin Campbell, Dr Caldwell Esselstyn both are now 90….. I could go on. There are so many - obviously a vegan/plant based diet has not killed them yet! Failed logic with an extreme bias!

Awesome thanks so much for watching and commenting! So glad you're doing what you're doing :-)

*Word Up!* 💥💯💥✨🌿💚💫💪👍

What a wonderful, compassionate, intelligent woman. Vegan for the animals and for life 💚🌱

But yet how many animals are killed to grow crops? Herbicides like Round up, are very deadly to people, animals, and possibly even insects. I seen it myself destroy a thriving wetland by the run off from a field over many years. If there was cattle grazing there, none of that would have happened.

Awesome! Thanks for watching and so glad to hear!

You got this. It all seemed a little chaotic and disorienting at first. You’re in the minority so people are unsure of why you are doing this and some may act concerned for you. But stick to it. Stay true to your why. And it’s amazing how colorful your meals become. So much more variety!

Keep going forward, Mega. It only gets better. ❤❤

I have a playlist of vegan athletes you can show your son on my channel. kzfaq.info/sun/PLmSzj4R9w2MCXGSAGnWk7tj-fVQLISUPr

Make sure you're eating whole plant foods if you want to be heart healthy such as legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. And if you have health issues considered finding someone that practices lifestyle medicine you can consult with.

*Also check out 'The Game Changers' Documentary...* ☝️😏🌿💚

I have my one and only granddaughter who is only 4 years old. Right after she was born she was probably 9 months old and I had approached my son who is the father along with his girlfriend about the idea of a vegan child. The reply back was a simple sentence. She can make that decision when she's an adult😢. My son and his girlfriend have pushed so much of this when she becomes an adult to make decisions on so many different levels. I am so worried between the normal everyday life and all these other decisions she has to make because of them being opposed to other life decisions she too doesn't become depressed because of all of The decision she has to make now as an adult.😢

yeah I just discovered her.

We love you too!!! 💚

Awww 🥹 Thanks Jeff!!!

Epic turnaround for you! So glad to hear things are looking good. Keep up the great work and thanks for watching and sharing. Yes it is indeed challenging being immersed in the barbecue belt. I live in North Carolina and this town has barbecue restaurants all around that are so repulsive. And they have the liver much festival every year. It's the most grotesque thing ever. Where you at? I'm jealous! I grew up in LA so I miss the California weather and beaches. The beach is on the East Coast are okay and the water is warmer but I miss California so much, nothing beats it.

Well I try to dive into that a little bit with people. Sometimes it's gotten so deep they've asked me to take it out. So it's not the easiest thing. But I don't know how that would really help I can only imagine the carnivores using that as an example not to be vegan. But I guess if it's done right it would be really hard for them to twist it. If you want to help me with something like that let me know. It would be kind of easy to piece together with a lot of the content I already have for at least a significant starting point.

I'd be happy to help. I will contact you today via your website. --Rob@@VeganLinked

What’s wrong with being single? Lots of “hot” people choose to be single.

Yes, processed foods are not good. And while plants only use 20% agricultural land for 80% global food intake only 17% is whole plant food, the rest is processed and most of it tainted with not just oil, salt, and sugar but animal secretions as well. Furthermore, when people eat animals they're eating something very processed. As autotrophs plants have the most energy and energy is lost when the animal you eat consumes the plant as they process/metabolize the plant for their body's specific needs. This is why plants have on average 64 times more antioxidants. The animals people are eating are forced into existence through an artificial insemination process. Then they're housed in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO's) of which there's 200,000 in the US alone that are toxic to surrounding communities and their anaerobic lagoons spread pathogens and create aquatic dead zones. The animals go through an unnatural feeding process, supplemented, a slaughtering process, cleaning process, packaging process, until finally they're cooked and seasoned with plants. No, plants are food and the only "whole food". I can get all legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs & spices without packaging and easily grow a lot of what I need as well. Whole plant foods require the least amount of land, resources, processing, packaging, and even refrigeration.

Why do you think it's hard to get all your nutrients eating plants? I know hundreds of people personally doing this effortlessly, I've interviewed several hundred doing it on my channel. Many have been for most of their life, even their entire life, and not having issues with nutrients, or any health issues. I mean, unless you call shopping for more variety of awesome food choices because you care, I mean yeah, caring is harder than not caring if you don't care about the ramifications that come with not caring. Otherwise, I LOVE my options and find more joy with eating now than ever before. And I don't have to deal with blood, guts, and gore, going vegan is win, win, win, win, win in every direction.

as for going carnivore for depression, I would only imagine that would make someone suicidal. Actually, I was a mental health counselor post grad for 15 years. The most violent and aggressive people on the planet, they usually love to hurt animals as kids. And zoosadism isn't something I want to foster for the future of my grand daughter. There's more evidence supporting plants as beneficial for mental health than body parts, organs, and secretions. Even medications are from plants. Plants improve cardiometabolic disposition, which improves energy, healing, clarity, strength, and it's the easiest way to obtain and maintain the perfect weight. And you're not hurting animals. Like, everything about vegan is perfectly inline with being sane and healthy. The only challenge is dealing with people who don't care.

"Take care and be kind to one another" is not consistent with supporting slaughterhouses. And a well planned vegan way of eating is the kindest in every way, it's really the only kind way. Furthermore, according to the totality of evidence a plant based diet is most protective against chronic disease and all cause mortality, eating animals increases your risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality. There's really nothing kind about eating animals.

But veggies tho???? 🤣🤣😂😂

If it was organic, there should not have been any pesticides on it. However, zucchini can produce dangerous toxines, especially when exposed to longer periods of drought and heat during growth. If zucchini tastes bitter, don't eat it. And best to buy young, small ones. Please do try other veg. Just avoid zucchini so as to not remind you of your traumatic experience. Maybe try kale, even just as chips for starters - a true superfood!

Interesting I've been vegan since 2011 and I don't even eat zucchini unless somebody puts it in a dish at a restaurant. You can buy organic and the benefits of non-organic still outweigh the risks, at least according to the environmental working group. That would be more concerned about consuming animals since environmental toxins bioaccumulate in their fatty tissues if you're worried about consuming something toxic. And buy fruits and vegetables that are easy to wash and don't absorb herbicides and pesticides and for those that may more likely absorb them, like strawberries, by those organic or grow them on your own. Or just avoid them since there's tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other edible plant options to choose from between legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices.

Some people dont react well to plant based diets. From watching lots of videos on carnivore and vegan, it's clear that every body is different.

@@mark2073 If you're not one of these so-called people that can't eat plants then it's a moot point. There's no sense in you worrying about this theory. Be accountable for your own actions. I seriously doubt you're one of these people that can't eat plants so don't let some idea get in the way of you doing the right thing.

Well you cared enough to comment at least I suppose

And hopefully you care enough to stay vegan! 💚

Interesting, since I've heard so many people say their family members last meal was their favorite thing, a steak, and then they died within 48 hours.

One of the longest living populations on this planet eats more sweet potatoes than any other food. Maybe it was the rotting necrotic flesh in his gut that killed him. Maybe the sweet potato was trying to push it out before it ultimately led to his demise.

The turkeys, deer, rabbits, pheasants, ruffed grouse, partridge, and other small game he often ate are more likely to contribute.

Okay you don't get hyper vitaminosis A from eating sweet potatoes, that's like literally impossible because they don't have vitamin A they have carotenoids. You get hyper vitaminosis A from eating liver, which has preformed vitamin A and is easy to get excess of. I mean you can still get hyperkalemia eating excessive amounts of sweet potatoes, he would have to have been consuming several sweet potatoes everyday, skin and all. He probably sat down to a plate of liver too often as well. He would have to be eating several sweet potatoes everyday, and I don't know why he would, a large sweet potato is about 180 g. He would have to be eating up to 500 g or more to start experiencing hyperkalemia. We don't recommend mono mealing anything here. I recommend legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. Notice how I say variety of each, and I say this consistently and have been for many years. I don't even mention potatoes but those could fall under veggies. I appreciate you sharing this but it's not likely something anyone should be concerned about much less be eating a steak over.

Have you heard of steakhouse syndrome? That's how not evolved we are to consume animals, to the point that people choke to death trying and therefore there is this clinical term steakhouse syndrome. I think I'll just stick with my non-violent, non-invasive, non-destructive, healthier simple variety of whole plant foods ;)

Why do you love violence?

It’s unsound logic to connect loving meat and violence.

@isabelbetancourt1095 I love animals but God created certain animals to ne use as food, as long as you don't treat them bad

@@VeganLinked I don't

@@braulindisla-elburrodelaba5361 okay if you want to believe it God created animals as food as long as you don't treat them bad then you better not eat animals because there's no need to. Now if you needed to then you could say God created them for you to eat. But because you don't need to eat them then the only way to not treat them bad is to not eat them. You get this right? Name a trait that the animal has is justifies eating them that humans don't have.

Is that a nodule between your shoulders? It looks like it doesn’t belong there.

I didn't notice a nodule. But I had one before I went vegan that I had removed. And another after going vegan that I had removed. And guess what by the age of 50 40% of the population has nodules, by the age of 60 10% more and so on. And they tend to be just a very common benign thing. And in vegans they may be less likely to become cancerous. But yeah I didn't notice a module, perhaps I'll take a closer look... My doctor told me because I'm so healthy and trim and fit I was able to notice mine whereas other people who are thicker may not even notice them until they become significantly larger or start creating complications, like putting pressure on other organs for example or growing into other organs. So as a vegan you're more likely to notice the nodule and get it removed before it creates other problems. As a non-vegan you're just as likely getting nodules and more likely to have complications as a result.

What a load of shite!

I've been to several veganic farms and there wasn't a dead animal inside. I bet I can work on a veganic farm for years and not see one dead animal as a result of my work. But you go to a slaughterhouse and over a thousand animals and our are slaughtered. There's 200,000 concentrated animal feeding operations in the US alone sending sentient bodies to slaughterhouses contributing to 200 million animals being slaughtered every day. You hang out in the slaughterhouse, I'll hang out in the greenhouse, at the end of the year tell me how many animals you experience getting slaughtered. I bet it'll be in the millions. I might not even see one animal get killed. I've toured three veganic farms recently, released one video so far. The animals you are eating not only are getting killed directly but they also have to eat and depend on crops. But these are the worst crops, the most mono crop, most pesticide and herbicide laden, most destructive crops go to animal agriculture and biofuel. Think about 50 times as many animals as there are humans having to eat resulting in more than 50 times the bykill plus over 70 billion terrestrial animals intentionally killed plus trillions of aquatic life and all this only results in 20% global food intake while using 80% of agricultural land. Animal agriculture astronomically kills more animals. You need to go back to school for real

Is someone has a rare genetic anomaly that inhibits their potential to produce carnitine endogenously they can simply supplement this and then benefit from a better health span and smaller footprint and overall improved quality of life on a well planned vegan diet. Super easy! But you want to be careful because your fixation for carnitine because the carnitine you get from consuming body parts synthesizes into trimethylamine n oxide which is inflammatory as f***. Again go back to school please

You think vegans don't look healthy? I have hundreds on my channel that look extremely healthy. I bet I have countless vegans that look healthier than you even. Anyone can be vegan regardless of how they look. And if there are on a well-planned vegan diet and you don't think they look good they probably would look worse if they weren't on a well planned vegan diet. Also you can't see insidious chronic diseases. This is why so many pretty people die young. It didn't matter how pretty they were when they're now dead.

You were never vegan to begin with otherwise you would have found a way to make it work. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of edible plants to choose from. So you can tailor a well-planned vegan diet to your specific individualized needs. As a vegan you will find a way to do this and become your healthiest self. This may require getting assistance from somebody who practices lifestyle medicine since that is evidence-based and plant-based and they can help you work through any novel issues you may have. But for most people, especially the people I know, we don't have any of your so-called vitamin deficiencies. And these random excuses just go to show you never really tried to figure these things out and therefore you were never vegan. In a worst case scenario you would have to supplement. And why wouldn't you simply take a supplement if it's going to extend the quality of your life and enable you to no longer support animal agriculture that creates the most violent jobs, most horrific living circumstances for animals, leading cause of species extinction, desertification, deforestation, aquatic dead zones, zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, one of the leading causes of anthropogenic global warming, and increases your risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality. Surely taking a supplement is far more attractive than continuing to contribute to such a dumb, destructive, and deadly industry. Especially considering the fact that the animal you are eating most likely was also raised with all kinds of supplements. Instead of taking supplements through blood guts and gore you could just take one directly.

If you're not one of these so-called people that can't eat plants then it's a moot point. There's no sense in you worrying about this theory. Be accountable for your own actions. I seriously doubt you're one of these people that can't eat plants so don't let some idea get in the way of you doing the right thing.

You're asking us to be tolerant of people needlessly supporting an industry that is creating violent jobs, the most atrocious living circumstances for animals, the leading cause of deforestation, desertification, aquatic dead zones, species extinction, when a leading causes of anthropogenic global warming, because it's so unsustainable and ultimately results in concentration animal feeding operations that are toxic to surrounding communities, create zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people, antibiotic resistant bacteria, contaminate plant food supplies with pathogens, contaminate grocery stores with pathogens, every which way you look at it it's invasive, destructive, deadly, and the totality of evidence shows that eating animals increases your risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality while plants are most protective. The carnivore diet is a last ditch death based fad diet that is vastly detrimental. Yes people are flocking to it from other failed death-based fad diets like they did when they went from Atkins to Paleo, then Paleo to keto, And now if you watch the keto crowd they are dropping like flies and going to carnivore because nothing they're trying works. And we already know these are just elimination diets. Don't stop yourself from doing the right thing because some random other person theoretically might not be able to.

You're not in some other part of the world where you don't have access to legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. So don't let some theory about somebody in a remote location stop you from doing the right thing. When everyone is doing the right thing then we can help others easier because we won't be so wasteful and will be in better shape to do so. Right now Animal agriculture uses 80% of agricultural land but only results in 20% global food intake, this is gravely unsustainable and prevents a lot of people from having access to healthier food.

Vegans with an MTHFR mutation can try optimizing their body's methylation processes to reduce the risk of B12 deficiency and elevated homocysteine. This can be done by supplementing with methylated folate, which is best obtained through naturally-occurring B12 and methylfolate. The body can readily absorb these forms of nutrients even when metabolic defects are present. Here are some other tips to improve detoxification: Eat a high-fiber diet (30-50 grams per day) Eat anti-inflammatory foods such as vegetables, well-sourced protein, healthy fats, and fruits Move and sweat regularly, at least 4-5x per week, including regular sauna treatments and Epsom salt baths Here are some foods that are good sources of folate: Beans and lentils (~50% RDI) Raw spinach (49% RDI) Asparagus (37% RDI) Romaine (Cos) lettuce (34% RDI) Broccoli (27% RDI) Avocado (20% RDI) Oranges/Mangoes (~10% RDI) Some vitamins that may help with MTHFR include: Methylfolate Active Vitamin B12 Magnesium NAC(N-acetylcysteine) Glutathione Vitamin D You can also try eating foods rich in choline and methionine, such as: leafy greens, legumes, fortified grains, nuts, and seeds. You may want to avoid cow's milk dairy entirely, as food allergies and/or sensitivities to dairy produce antibodies that can clog your folate receptors. The MTHFR gene mutation cannot be reversed, but the adverse effects of the mutation can be negated with medication, supplements, or diet and lifestyle changes.

If only people knew how horrific eating animals is because it's understandable and ultimately results in them being locked up and concentrated animal feeding operation of which there are over 200,000 in the US alliance that are toxic to surrounding communities, that result in the most violent jobs, the most atrocious living circumstances for animals, leaving cause of deforestation, desertification, aquatic dead zones, species extinction, zoonotic diseases that kill millions of people, and ultimately increase risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality. So if you have some sort of genetic mutation and want to be vegan you simply supplement accordingly. What part of that logic do you not understand? This is so you can take advantage of all of the benefits for a vegan diet that extend beyond you. It's the exact opposite of being selfish. Are you that out of touch with things beyond you that you don't even understand the difference between being selfish and not being selfish?

If you had this genetic mutation then how did you do well for 35 years and then suddenly start declining? It's not like you suddenly got this genetic mutation 35 years later. It sounds like you lived well beyond reproduction age. Now you need to do things a little differently. And that's the case for every single human on this planet. If we want to extend our lives beyond what is natural then we may need to do things a little bit differently but this doesn't mean we need to destroy the world in the process while killing animals and increasing your risk for other chronic diseases and premature death. Come on now, stay with it.

Hey I tell you what let me interview you and your parents on your dietitian if you don't think you're capable of being vegan I need to know this and I need to cover it. But I'm going to be asking hard hitting questions, if you're real show yourself! And explain why you weren't able to adjust your diet accordingly.

Here's a great video by Mic the Vegan he uploaded about a year ago covering your MTHFR worries: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbV8mtSBlp7GiXU.htmlsi=f-lmNVp0M6DxOH4G

I already did a video do something this years ago, it's called vegans kill. Mic the vegan just released a video Friday addressing this as well debunking Berry interviewing Lierre Keith. And he'd already debunked her 7 years prior. And we are referencing science. And we are showing our numbers.

Furthermore the worst mono crop, pesticide herbicide laden crops go to Animal agriculture and biofuel not your everyday vegan.

Here's the one Mike did Friday that debunks you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZt0Z695tdKyimw.htmlsi=wbl1xlg2bU96dU1e

One cow needs about 2 acres for a cow/calf pair. Every year this would produce about half a million calories. If that was all you ate, at 2k Cal a day this may last one person about 265 days. 2 acres of potatoes would generate 12 million calories, 24 times more than a cow. This would feed over 16 people for a year instead. This is equivalent to feeding one person for 6,000 days or 16.4 years. Of course there could be other animals in the mix just as there can be other crops like carrots, beans, and greens. Now of course, not all land is created equal. Some land isn't viable for crops. Considering that plant crops can feed 16 times more people we obviously need less land anyways. And people can and do grow in their own homes, yards, and roof tops, vertically, etc... So, not only does plant agriculture feed more people for more years, because it's healthier they'll have more years to live and more life in their years. According to a document at the USDA dated 1917 beef would produce 130,000 calories per acre and sweet potato would produce 2,851,200. While these numbers are significantly smaller the results are very similar and of course still in favor of plants producing 21 times the amount of calories. naldc.nal.usda.gov/download/ORC00000242/PDF

So are you going to acknowledge that you were completely wrong or you just going to ignore it and pretend to remain ignorant even though you've been presented with information that corrects your faulty thinking
