Chelsea Volkina Preach!

As much as I do agree, I think she is saying that people at least used to THINK they were showing repect to the animals they ate, no matter how horrible we realise it is today. Then it was the norm to bond with the animal you would eventually eat. While that is still pretty damn horrific, it is at least not the heartless, cold and industrial mass production of 'edible' corpses we have today. Besides, even if she agrees with you, I think her message is more accessible to 'hardcore' meat eaters than the very accurate statement "any killing is bad". So, if this converts a few carnists to AT LEAST vegetarianism then the collective goal is one step closer.

Anne Bachewich true. forests are taken down to create farmland. Is that right? no. Are many animal's killed/have their homes destroyed? yes. BUT, as horrible as that is, meat production is the constant suffering and slaughter of animals every single day. Every minute. Their entire life. Furthermore, without "farm" animals' need for land, there would be more land for crops anyway, which means that less habitats would be destroyed. Insecticide would probably still be used which, yes, would damage the life of bees too. Animals die either way, but less suffer and die directly because of human action in crop cultivation, and less is wasted because "wasted" veggies can go right back into compost to produce even better plants.

Anne, it is important to note that a lot of farming provides food for animals to eat. ~80% of corn grown in the US is consumed by livestock. Yes, it is impossible to have cruelty free agriculture however we can lower the scale by stopping or lowering our consumption of animals and animal products.

Chelsea Volkina finally someone talks sense!

Tanner Michels im gonna eat some more grilled chicken.

@@BarryKhan909 hahahha! That's your right. But I choose an alternative food lifestyle.

Tanner Michels jus yesterday i ate a delicious doner kebab how the guy cut the meat was so delicious with all the fat so yummy it was i could tell ya with the gorgeous sauce and bread and meat. 🤤

Tanner Michels deep down she still advocates for a meatless society and votes for the government to ban the consumption of meat and dairy and I’m sure you think that way too no matter how friendly you come off as

@@noah-gg9fc They aren't. Why would they be?

you mean not like a crazy person

Sydney D a good argument for pasture raised animals from local farms and farmers you can talk to and ask all your questions. We use the same argument PLUS better nutrient density in the meat.

@Cherlock McFly Your “we have unnaturally selected animals for slaughter and breed out their survival instincts” There are a multitude of videos on the internet which clearly demonstrate we do not breed out livestock’s survival instincts! Nor have we bred out their terror & pain upon slaughtering them. ---------------------------- Your “There is no ethical answer for eating meat, it is just biology and human nature. Humans are animals, who were designed to eat meat and vegetables, meaning we were meant to run on it. (I don't just mean protein). No, it is not nice, but it is nature.” We actually do not need to eat meat to survive, & all animals produce some human artery-clogging saturated fat & cholesterol. There are healthy foods that promote human longevity instead of reducing it as does artery-clogging meat, & most of the world’s centenarians either do not eat meat or eat very little of it. With our advanced civilization, it is time we begin living morally enlightened which means we recognize the other animals as other species we share this planet with & stop killing & abusing them. We should be good stewards; not evil abusers of this planet. Otherwise, we do not deserve to be the apex species.

No, it's not an argument for veganism. It's an argument to end factory farming. She's be cool with murdering animals as long as it wasn't in a factory farm. Here. Read. "Animals lived symbiotically with humans for most of human history. When we cared for their needs, gave them room to roam, nutritionally appropriate food to eat, *so that when it came time to take their lives, we honored that life*, because we know that it had been treated with respect." WOW! So....it's cool to murder animals as long as they're not factory farmed. Mudering animals in never cool. "TAKING THEIR LIVES BY SLITTING THEIR NECKS IS NOT "HONORING THEIR LIFE". WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?! OMG.

Cherlock McFly Are you writing your comments in a mental health facility?

Yeah! =D

Brazil loves you? Brazil is one of the leading producers of cattle in the world!

Keep going! do what you can and you will help the world

You're heading in the right direction. However, you knew this video was about Mayim's veganism. It took me several years to get myself to total veganism aka, "plant-based". I didn't do it for compassion for the animals, I did for my own health. My mother and sister and mother-in-law all died of breast cancer, my father died of Alzheimer's as did my maternal grandmother. I reduced my cholesterol by 50 points, my weight by 50 lbs and am no longer pre-Diabetic. It also relieved 90% of my arthritis. As I was in a wheelchair up to one month per episode, at least 4 times a year, it was rather secure. My husband did not want to go with me into veganism, until he had Prostate cancer. The fact is that cancer tumors can be removed but not ever single cancerous cell from that tumor which just goes and makes a tumor in a different place. The only way is to stop feeding your cancer so whatever raises IGF1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) which helps to grow the blood supply for cancers, the cancers cannot grow. IGF1 promotes angiogenesis which means it makes blood vessels multiply in order to create new growth -- only adults are not growing, but this promotes cancer. "The China Study" showed that animal protein turns on cancer growth and plant proteins turn them off. With so much cancer in my family, the only one left alive was me, did I have to get it right or miss seeing our grandchildren grow up? I decided to give it a try and I do enjoy what I eat. My bloodwork now looks like I am 20 years old but I am 67. Since turning Vegan, I do know have the compassion which I blocked so that I could continue eating animal foods. Now my emotions match my resolve to stay plant-based. Dairy cannot be produced without some cruelty and the cows which are milked which could live up to 20 years, are spent after 5 so their bodies are slaughtered for hamburgers. Their male babies are killed and their female ones, are due to be dairy cows. From the constant milking, even cows who live the "nice life" still get mastitis but the gov't allows pus cells to be sold to you anyway. Most likely you are consuming pus when you use dairy and it is concentrated in the cheese. This is not healthy and the fat in cheese is rancid no matter how "kind" you think the process is, it does not change that it is not normal for us to consume the secretions of another animals mammary glands. I spent my whole life constipated. I am never constipated now. I sleep better and have more energy. Used to get migraines, Gone. No more asthma, gone. What did I give up when I went Vegan? I missed cancer and you can miss it too.

Nita Bilyeu don’t reduce animal abuse.. remove it. You don’t need it

wtf are you WAITING for? Be strong. Show some discipline. If you don't ACT on your values, they're not values. They're hobbies. Quit being weak. It's disgusting.

Oh they’re treated well on the farm..........Until their throats get cut. Real nice 👍

These are only two of them. There are too many vegan hollywood stars out there.

Live long or die trying! :) I'm only a few years vegan and just turned 50 ---- I figure I'm officially middle aged because I'm going to live to at least 100.

The Leguminator Haha yeah right.

Robert Howes :)

Robert Howes I hope to be like you :) I'm 20 and 4 years vegan♡

Fred J3 not even true lol

metal passion and how does becoming vegan help the poor animals? They are and will be killed. Go promote better animal conditions. At least that’s realistic.

@@B.H.1987 Supply and demand?? That's how. If more and more ppl give up eating animal products or at least cut down their consumption, the industry will notice. Also vegans and vegan activists DO promote better conditions, that's part of what vegans demand. It's also about building up political pressure in many ways: for animal rights, our own health, climate and environmental aspects and what scientists keep warning us about: antibiotic resistance... Please get informed.

true story

Baraa H. Dude, you can‘t be serious??!! When nobody buys it, nobody gets killed

@@jamizo9390 and just to add to your comments, vega life style also shows that it is possible to live without animal products and it isn't hard. It sets an example.

Is it still going well??

I wish I could say it was, I really miss it and hope to come back 😢

Mitchell Dexter that’s a shame, but just do what u can! Rome wasn’t built in a day😊

@@mitchelldexter4917 Check out Happy Healthy Vegan and Mike the Vegan. They've got nice recipies besides the rest of great content. You don't have to eliminate foods, it might be easier and more sustainable to replace and displace. I myself switched to whole food plant based when I was breastfeeding for my child's health. It was 2.5 years ago. No ethics were involved back then, however I learnt a lot about the effect different foods have on our body. Since then I don't even consider meat/dairy/eggs food). I'm glad I don't sponsor animal cruelty, but firstly I'm glad not to pollute my and my child's body with dead flesh, chicken period and bovine secretions.

Mitchell Dexter same i'm just can't be vegan I'm now vegetarian for 5 months and everythings is going great when i feel ready I'm gonna start with vegan 😊

Adriella Miri right? It must have been exhausting! Haha

Adriella Miri she probably held the same speech in two different places 😁

Adriella Miri I don't actually think she did. Looking at how pieces of her hair are laying or sticking from both angles... I think she might've recited speech twice. And then clipped back and forth :)

Yes! This is distracting and unnecessary.

Melissa Pinilla Actually, I think it helps the viewer to focus on what she is saying because it brings some variation to the speech. I didn't even notice that she was switching places until I read the comments but I didn't get distracted from her until then.

now stay vegan!! please!

OMG! That is wonderful. Kudos!

So many meat plant based options available now too. But also get creative in the kitchen with jackfruit, mushroomsoyesturs , tofu etc

How tho?

As a respectful vegan I am really thankful i found more vegans here in this comment section thank you for all youve done (:

I have one question cab I eat Human instead

I have not watch it because I am already vegan an am extremely sensitive and know that I will cry my eyes out.

Vegan!

Vegans always look way younger than they are. I'm 56 and someone thought I was in my 30s. That was 3 days ago.

@@alexanderhamilton8585 That's actually bullshit. Every vegan I've ever met looks awful. They look about 20 years older than they actually are. Kind of unsurprising when you have such a horrendous diet. Nice try though ☺️

Courtney The Dope so eating fruits and vegetables, beans is now horrendous? Damn, where have I been, absolutely missed the big news!

I'm 42 and people usually think 30 .yesssss

Why would anyone not eat honey? I keep my own bees for honey and wax and pollination, and keep chickens for eggs, why would I consider stopping that?

I was vegetarian for years too... until I started seeing the very similar if not worse cruelty of the dairy and egg industry. There are great alternatives. It's healthier, better for the planet and better for the animals.

NT S the better question is why can people not stop eating honey? It's not even processed in a lot of things and doesn't taste THAT delicious that you can't cut it out .. hm

It is great that she's vegan and all. The more the merrier. The arguments in this video, however well put, are very weak and ill informed.

Nia LaLa V I actually gave my omni boyfriend the beyond meat burger and he said it was super good! I know not everyone would think so, but the texture is similar to real meat and I think that's the biggest issue with most veggie meats!

What do you mean by "almost completely free?" I'd like to watch it, but I'm pretty hypersensitive to animal suffering, probably more than the average person.

I remember there being a scene (like 5 seconds) where there are a bunch of recently caught fish (I think they were still alive, not sure) on a boat. I think there are like 4 similar scenes. You could also just watch the short 15 minutes version on youtube. I doubt all of those scenes made it in there.

Kevin Sarpei thanks!

Mmmm gardein

And pretty! ;)

Puta Madre that's not important 🤷

@@lalalalana3181 I know. But this is true! 😃

what a funny joke (if it is meant as one)

Nah, not eating animals is not only unnatural but also illogical and stupid.

Many vegan activists are rude for saying to stop hurting animals and people who eat animals are the victims? LOL

No... They are rude for forcing their opinions on others. That's what he meant. I eat meat and I'm not calling you a bad person or fight with you because you're not, the same way the Mayim doesn't eat meat and does make us feel bad about ourselves and tell us how our opinions are wrong. She tells us her opinion in a nice manner. She even says she knows it won't make everyone vegan now but that's not her point or her mission. If you're vegan, that's fine, I'm not forcing you to eat meat, but don't force other to become vegans as well :)

They are not forcing their opinions they are putting the information out there and are having discussions. Meat eaters force their opinions on everyone and most of all the animals who don't have any choice in all of this. You have no reason to call me a bad person because being vegan isn't anything bad about. Killing innocent, sentient animals however is bad. What you're saying is that choosing to kill, torture and exploit animals is a personal choice and that no one should be able to stop you. Well that's just not ethical. If I kick a dog you cannot tell me to stop because it is my personal choice. This makes no sense and is just an excuse to keep on eating dead animals because they taste nice. But all the meat eaters start whining that vegans are being preachy, this shows that they care more about their own taste buds than the lives of animals.

You just did exactly what I said the vegan activists he was talking about do... You just forced your opinion on me. Calling someone a bad person because he doesn't believe in your beliefs is exactly forcing your opinions. I never called you a bad person for not eating meat, but for reactions like yours which do not open discussions but force opinions. You can say "I think eating meat is killing" and I'll say " well, I disagree" and we'll have a fantastic debate but you're calling meat eaters bad people that kill and compare meat eaters to people who actively abuse animals which is a complete different story to eating meat is just, again, forcing your opinions on others. Did you think that maybe one of the reasons people feel uncomfortable becoming vegans is because of people like and comments like yours that make them seem like bad people? What do you think? People would react "Oh, I'm a killer and a bad person? Better never touch meat ever again!" It's just dumb and naive. If you to convince people that your way of life is better you need to say your opinions but listen to others as well. Never insult their opinions because you want to change their opinions, not make them feel like bad people, it doesn't help your cause! If more vegan people were like Mayim, I think the amount of vegans in our world would be much bigger. Reactions like yours do not help and just make people hate "vegans" although a big part of them are very nice people (I know some vegans myself)

How did I force my opinion on you? I never said 'you have to think like this!' I never called you a bad person. Veganism isn't a belief it's based on facts and compassion. You cannot call me a bad person for not eating meat because there is nothing wrong with only eating plants. We are having a discussion, if you do not agree you have to give better arguments than me. I literally never said meat eaters are bad people. I just say killing animals is bad. Raping is bad, racism is bad, you don't mind it when people say that because you are not a part of it. Eating meat however is different for you. Eating meat and abusing an animal is kinda the same because you pay for someone else to abuse one instead of doing it yourself. I was making the comparison because you say that you can't tell someone what he/she can and can't do which obviously isn't true. I became a vegan because I was also (like you) trying to find arguments against veganism and pro meat eating. But after a while I discovered that there aren't any good arguments and that's why I changed. If you're not becoming vegan that's not my fault, don't blame it on me. You're responsible for your own actions so if you continue to eat animals than that's on you alone. If people feel 'bad' for eating animals than that's not my fault either, it is because they realize that it is bad. But instead they try to blame the vegans who are like "Uhm, dude maybe you shouldn't do that. Ya know, it hurts the animals and stuff." In any other situation people would understand that reasoning but when meat comes up everyone is like "you're hurting my feelings" and again is only thinking about themselves instead of the true victims. The animals.

Amen friend

No it's not

Yes it is. Believe it or not. They don't talk a lot about veganism or just not eating meat in mainstream media for a reason. The future is plantbased. A lifestylechange might seem scary. But you know what is even scarier: regret or learning it the hard way, for example by going out of business.

I tried to go vegan but I cant because I'm the mom and I have to cook for my family and they are super carnivorous so I always end up eating meat ,but we recently ( almost 3 months) give up on pork and that I see it as progress can I have a few tips or suggestions on how to become a vegan as family please

@@regiatfable Hey, I have basically the same problem at home. I haven't managed to completely transfer to a plant-based diet but that was never my goal anyways. What I have achieved though is drastically reducing meat in our diet. I simply take meals containing meat that my family likes to eat and turn them vegan. You often don't even need vegan meat alternatives to do so. Also, I introduced fully new meals to them and it is working out really well. So just experiment a little, there are many delicious recipes on the internet!😉

Bite Size Vegan I didn't know about her channel either. BTW, you have the best vegan channel ever. I follow you since forever lol. I know you've been to some vigils in Toronto. I agree there is no such thing as a sustainable way to farm animals and I do not believe in killing with compassion. This is what I didn't agree about her message. Moreover I am happy to see this video and I just subscribed. I glad to hear she is vegan. On the other hand her character (Ami) isn't vegan at all.

Emily, you said it so perfectly. I picked up on that "humanely murdered" part in the clip as well and it kind of threw me for a loop too after I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about the vegan part. :)

Thank you fellow vegan

So, what makes you think plants are okay to exploit? Plants are more intelligent than animals in many cases and are very well aware of their surroundings and are social creatures.

What is keeping you from going to vegan now?

Eliana Posada if i start now im afraid i will start eating to much, im going slowlly towards this path, im restricting the foods bit by bit

we talked about changing our life style and eating a vegetarian diet.... after going to the farmers markets and organic or natural food stores I think I will just continue as we are.... looks like another money scam to me....double and triple the price for almost everything. Our food budget would run out before the end of the month... only rich folks are vegans.....

Steve you dont have to shop in farmers markets and healthfood stores to be vegan. Those places are great but they are optional. Eat things like rice, potatoes, bread, cheaper types of fruit and veg, beans, lentils, tofu, quorn. All cheap. ☺

gesus44 Yeah, calling someone names is really gonna help the cause. Smdh.

she even published a vegan cookbook :)

The Vegan Mojo same! I'm positively surprised :)

dee leigh What does that have to do with the actress? You do realise that Amy Farrah Fowler is a character she plays, right? Who is fictional?

SmilyLily1996 i think most of us are aware, but it is still funny, so why not mention it?

SmilyLily1996 I will agree to disagree. If you are a vegan and campaign for the ethical treatment of animals why portray a roll that does the opposite, As a vegan you wouldn't advertise McDonald's so why this. As I said I will agree to disagree and leave it there

mckenna loree jealous I wish I had started as young as you! Great :)

+mcKenna loree I started at 13 too! It's quite possibly one of the best decisions I have ever made. For some reason, before I became vegan, I was experiencing some kind of intense sadness that I don't think was depression, but I've never experienced depression, so I wouldn't know. After I became vegan, that constant sadness went away. I guess it was because I recognized that I was doing something really good for the world. It makes me so unbelievably happy to see people like you :)

@@NipponCat LOL, you are totally clueless....

@@snowbird7377 Why is it that Americans think that the entire world behaves like they do? We have all the junk food where I stay and instead of being subsidized, it is taxed heavily with a sin tax. It is still very popular because of the fact that some of the ingredients are addictive, like sugar. It is also very convenient because you don't get a drive-through for fruit and vegetables, to name but one example. It's all about economies of scale. The more you produce, the cheaper it becomes.

swisspeek me too. Just watched her video💃

Spreading lies. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7alhpd-v9CUe30.html Veganism is Hypocrisy

I know i watched the video.

Jazz Greiner every vegan does she just put it in a more "pro" way

Also she's a celebrity, so people will listen before judging.

She also did it in a different way. The way she talked about like what they do to the animals, and she wasn't mean or rude about it or bashing anyone. She just really thought it out and said this is why I'm vegan. Most vegans get on your case if you make one little mistake.. and that's not encouraging at all. Instead we should motivate and say, "even if you make a mistake, it's okay, you can get back on track" or something similar

Because she made a case for her personal reasons for veganism and made strong, well rounded, reasoned points for each part she discussed. It didn't go into blaming people for their choices, simply that the system as a whole is messed up and we're all kind of victims to it (which is true.) She doesn't guilt the viewer, simply attempts to inform them, and that's the important part. Guilt doesn't work - information can.

@@strongeronplants as a meat chicken farmer it couldnt be farther from the truth there probably was a time in the past when this happened but now it would be illegal to do and too much work one of our houses holds 50,000 chickens and we have 4 of them who would sit there and cut off the beaks of 200k chickens definitely not me if there is a problematic chicken we simply take it out and put it by itself and as far as cages go only egg farmers use cages as again it would be too much work for a meat chicken and the good news is less and less egg farmers are using cages and infact all organic products from an animal must be free range but no beak cutting doesn't happen in chicken farms atleast not in the past 20-30 years it hasnt been a thing just remember media only points out the bad apples so it may seem like every farmer treats their animals inhumanely but that couldnt be further from the truth Edit: no roosters dont get ground up alive when egg farmers buy chickens they only buy females males grow as meat chickens

@@anuragmalpani6270 well i don't think in this case it's really the opinion of the parents that is the matter. Because if she was living on her own there would be no problem. But she said that she was living with her parents, so I assume that's it's them who buy food that's why it must be difficult to be vegan if you don't have the control of what ingredient you buy.

Arlette S wonderful!

Mad Tad I know, how many times have we heard this from family and friends?

Israel Lacerda true. You can't just convince someone to go vegan just by telling them to. Would have never ever worked for me, too. The funny thing is that I went vegan for a week as a bet and then just kept it that way. not because someone told me to, but because I felt like it was the right thing to do.

Se você tiver interesse em conhecer melhor esse tema eu recomendo muito o documentário Terráqueos. É pesado mas muito importante pra gente conhecer o processo industrial de criação de animais =p Meu canal também tem muitos recursos e argumentos sobre o assunto, se vc quiser dar uma olhada fica a vontade! Eu nunca coloco imagens fortes de animais sofrendo, então pode assistir tranquilo. Abraço!

I would encourage you to learn about how Brazil's natural habitats are destroyed to grow food for cattle and the cattle themselves. Over 1000 activists have been murdered trying to protect rainforest, the cattle industry is that corrupt.

Yes you can. some people are slow changers, that doesn't mean they are for cruelty. I have kicked some of my habits, but certainly not all off them. It's a process. And I will say I am against cruelty, because it does make me sad and I am changing my ways. For excample: I don't buy as much leather shoes as I used to, not nearly as much. I walk a lot for my work and I need good shoes, but I don't buy them on a whim any longer. I used to drink milk every night, because it made me nice and sleepy. But now I rarely drink milk anymore, instead I stopped drinking alcohol with the intention of sleeping better, this was not easy because now I have to find other ways to relax. I'm in that process too. I used to eat 2 eggs a day, now I am down to 3 a week. And so on and on.I Am against cruelty. I also have needs and i will not toss something aside before having found a good working alternative.

You don't have to give up chocolate! Most dark chocolate doesn't have milk in it and there are really yummy ice creams- Soy Delicious, Almond Dreams, Trader Joes to try. Also Cliff bars are yummy-a healthier option and there are tons of recipes for awesome chocolate desserts online, in cookbooks, etc. Also even Walmart has vegan cookies-they are in the aisle with the protein bars and protein shakes. Whole Foods has some really decadent desserts as well that are vegan.

You don't have to give up wool either. Sheep need to be shaved. Otherwise, the weight of their wool can literally kill them over time.

Many of the sheep are abused however and there is a method called muesling-where the sheep's bottom is cut off-without pain killers and NO care to prevent infections! Guess you haven't seen the videos of "workers" kicking and throwing and stomping on poor sheep!!!??? All animals used are exploited, deprived and abused!

Wearing the skin of another living being is pretty gross if you think about it-what if that leather came from dogs?? You know that China kills dogs & cats and makes gloves and other items out of their fur and skin?? If it's under 100.00 it doesn't have to be labeled. China can't be trusted-period. Anyway-leather isn't "cool" at all!!! Many of the cows are skinned and dismembered while they are still alive and fully conscious-NOT COOL!!! Also ALL the chemicals used to preserve the skin and treat it so it doesn't rot aren't "cool"-like formaldehyde, arsenic, and many other chemicals that are carcinogenic and pollute, poison water, land in processing facilities. Also workers are exposed to these harsh, dangerous chemicals and suffer from cancers, respiratory illnesses and other aliments-NOT COOL AT ALL!!! There are many alternatives and many manufacturers that don't use leather in their cars and in other products. More people are more educated and aware and use their influence and power as a consumer to change the way companies produce goods-to ensure that we ALL have a SAFE, HEALTHY, CLEANER planet to live on-drink water to drink and clean air to breathe-everyone needs to connect the dots and see the bigger picture beyond their little bubble!!! NOT COOL to be complacent and support cruelty and products that also pollute and harm!!

Damn it Reina she totally didn't know that

***** soul pach?, i undertand that someone with that profile doens't have much of a conection with his soul to understand.

Hey, most famous people have above average intelligence.

I'm so sorry that they had to endure that, and so very saddened by the plight of the animals.

Sad story regarding the profit motive and suffering

Amazing to get a behind the scenes type thing. I wish you and your family the best of luck :-)

It's not like that everywhere

From a fellow Aussie...I am so sorry so many people are put into that position, and thanks for letting others know about it.
