    Hello, Mic.
    I’m an Arabic from the middle east particularly from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
    All my life I’ve never heard of something called veganism and I’ve been raised to eat so much meat and unhealthy foods due to my culture which demands to kill and murder animals for so many reasons.
    Lately, I’ve been watching your videos not because I’m vegan but because the way you explain things is so easy and understandable
    Your sources are scientific and legit and you don’t bs like other health channels.
    Over time I’ve done my own research and looked every way around me and I’ve seen how my culture is unhealthy.
    Thanks for opening my eyes to the reality.
    I'm now a vegetarian for 3 months and I’ve never felt so great like this and planning to be full vegan after a year.
    It’s very sad how the truth is not spreaded while the lies and the deception is everywhere.
    Can I translate your videos in Arabic and upload it to my channel so may some of those Arabs who’s interested in nutrition be informed?

    • @Anikoxx

      That is great, keep learning and moving into a vegan life style. It takes a long time for the lifestyle choices to change. Meaning the house cleaning products to skincare, fashion. Animal derived Plastic, medicine, supplements and environmental affects on all of that.
      The animals pure suffering and torture, as we life in ignorance, it’s meant to be bliss as the saying goes. Diet is not as hard to change though.

      @clearmist7170 6 років тому +4

      That doesn't even make sense. Cheese is milk. You can't find one repulsive and the other good. Also, you used to love milk when your mother used to give it to you as a baby! You weren't always repulsed by it.

      Trying to find rationale in inherently subjective, subconscious arenas in life (like eating habits) is irrational. People are sensitive in unique ways to taste, texture, consistency, colour, flavor pairings, presentation, nostalgia.

      Nina, I was just trying to get her to consider another way of looking at things. Especially since I think dairy, meats and eggs are a necessary part of human diet and very healthy. Also, that vegetables didn't exist before the agricultural times. Fruits also are man-made. Insects, however were common food items for ancient humans.

      but other of my vegan friends told me that cheese was always hard to give up. Not eating meat is the easiest because it looks like the dead animal and cheese doesn't so you don't exactly make the connection immediately. At least I didn't make the connection before going vegan.
      anyway, what matter is that we don't put either animal part in our bodies anymore so yay for that

      Kitty DorkDork I think the only non vegan think I ever craved was three days into veganism that I wanted jello shots. Like 20 minutes later, I had already found a vegan replacement for the jello and that was the end of it.
      It was because my friend added me to a vegan Facebook group in my country and they already had hundreds of products that were accidentally vegan and I didn't need to worry about it anymore. We have it easy these days: in the 70s they didn't have the means we have to be vegan. *Now there's just no excuse to consume animal products.*

They have an original and also a tomato cayenne style which is amazing

      It doesn't destroy your body, dairy builds up your body. Nature wants you to eat it. After all, your first food, and the first food of all humans is the dairy from your mother's breast milk.
      Cruelty? Humans are the most humane. I guess you haven't seen a cat tearing up and eating a rabbit's face off (that is still alive). Or animals playing with their food, before they eat it raw. Animals are food. You must think all animals are the cruellest creatures on the planet. Even herbivores will stomp on animals and eat their own kind if presented with the choice.

      it's a vegan scam
      If you’re looking for an excuse to wolf down that double-cheese pizza for lunch, you may have found it in a news story that’s gone viral. Among the headlines: “Cheese Is as Addictive as Cocaine,” “Cheese Really Is Crack,” and “Study Finds That Cheese Is Just as Addictive as Drugs.”
      The problem is that the study cited in these stories found no such thing.
      Researchers at the University of Michigan asked participants to report which foods in a list were most difficult to cut down on or eat in a controlled way.
      Not surprisingly, highly processed foods with added fat and refined carbohydrates-things like ice cream, French fries, cookies, chips and cake-topped the list. Cheese ranked somewhere in the middle; it was considered less addictive than sugary, processed foods but more so than steak, eggs, bananas, and broccoli.
      Pizza was near the top of the list, but just because pizza has cheese on it doesn't mean it's solely to blame for pizza’s irresistibility.
      Going beyond the study, many of the news reports speculated that cheese may be addictive because of a protein in dairy products called casein. When broken down during digestion, casein releases substances called casomorphins, which according to a registered dietician who was quoted in many of the stories, have an addictive effect on the brain similar to that of morphine.
      But in fact the evidence is weak that casomorphins, when digested, affect most of us this way. And the dietician who made the questionable claim works for an advocacy group called Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which pushes veganism and urges people to shun cheese. Hardly an objective voice.
      The widespread attention to this story reminds us that what’s really addictive is sensationalized headlines about what we eat. Too bad there’s no treatment for that.

    Hey Mic! I've researched vegan diet/lifestyle about 3 months before I took the plunge 2 weeks ago! I thought I was physically prepared but wasn't mentally. Now I'm feeling better than ever only two weeks in. I thought I would crave cheese but... Nope thankfully... Nope! Thank you for your videos, you have SERIOUSLY made my transition so much easier 💛💛💛

    I literally had an addictive reaction to cheese and yoghurt. If I even ate a small amount I would get a strange prickly feeling on my tongue that would cause me to over eat for up to three days afterwards. I would eat everything in the house and even though my stomach was full and bloated my tongue continued to want satisfaction, I also got a kind of tension headache and couldn't stop thinking about food.

I thought we were having a good time.

  • @elisenieuwe4649
    @elisenieuwe4649 7 років тому +8

    I think it's just the combination of fat/creamy taste and salt with the soft texture.
    I haven't ate an animal food for weeks and I found some vegan cheese. It has a young cheese taste, so it's not strong, but when I ate it I immediately went: hmmm yummm. Even when while it didn't even had the stronger cheese taste that I prefer and it actually wasn't such a great cheese taste. I was wondering by myself why I still really liked it. And came to the conclusion that it's the fat/salt combination with a soft texture that does it.
    This vegan cheese does obviously not contain the thing you talk about. I seriously don't think that's the main reason people eat it. It's the taste and the variety of tastes.

    Maybe my love of cheese in my youth was why I felt no relief from 4 vials of morphine when passing a kidney stone.
    I didn't need the casomorphins, I just needed something that tastes like cheese, which definitely wasn't vegan cheese from the store. I hate every one I've tasted.
    Ground smoked almonds have helped me kick cheese, just today, and I think adding nutritional yeast will help too.

    Glad to see you are actually capable of making an honest video.
    To add about pizza being at the top of the list, I for one know I dont crave the cheese in a pizza. I crave the sauce and crust (as was the suggested reason for it being addictive) most likely for the same reasons they claimed, its high carb content.
    Im not a fan of cheese at all, which makes me glad you made one of your final comments about the reason cheese is so hard to avoid is because its in everything. Thats the only reason I even consume cheese, because it just happens to be there. I am fully capable and happy eating pizza sauce on an english muffin.
