I love RZA's statement, "No animal needs to die for me to live;" and agree 100 percent! 💜💚🧡💙
So you might as well stop eating then.
@@hamletsmill258Clueless comment
I resonated so much with what lewis hamilton said: once you’re past that hill, you never want to go back; you look at what others are eating and you feel disgust. 💚
❤🤜
Same here, and it’s even worse when is one of your family members
I NEVER thought I'd be vegan. Now , just over 4 years in, I can't imagine being anything else. Tbh, 'celebs' change their 'diets' as often as they get married and divorced. And veganism isn't a diet.
Some celebs are ethical vegans like Moby in this video.
When people ask why I am Vegan, 100 reasons go through my mind, but I always say because I love and value all life.
When celebs go vegan, millions of people pay attention.
But when celebs stop being vegan, millions of people also pay attention to that.
Yes, well people should go vegan because it's the right thing to do, not just because we want to copy celebrities for some reason.
At least those celebs got people to learn about veganism in the first place. So people can look more into it.
It helps to normalize veganism. Every bit of help counts.
I agree, and it definitely needs to be normalized. If it helps open the door for people to learn more about the actual moral philosophy etc. then yes that is an absolute win! However, I just hope it doesn’t also hurt when this celebrity or that stops being vegan and then people use that as a justification, because that seems to happen also.
Woody Harrelson is also vegan, and so is Ricky Gervais.
Two words - Joaquin Pheonix. The god-tier of vegans.
Add Kipp Anderson.
A lot of celebrities have either adopted or at least temporarily attempted a vegan lifestyle because of Woody Harrelson, he's definitely up there with the greats.
Woody Harrison and Joaquin Phoenix.. you just don't get better than these two..
But Joaquin Phoenix rode a horse😢😢😢
@@NatalyBlackberry Was that before or after he went vegan..? 🤔
Wonderful to see people speaking proudly and confidently about being Vegan. That is right, no animal should die nor needs to for us to be healthy.
My heart breaks at the scene cut in when RZA speaks and the pig is shown shaking as the man begins either cutting the pig or moving towards cutting it? I am not sure, but it’s so nonsensical to cause unnecessary harm and fear! Vegan life!!!
I thought the EXACT same thing bro 😢. My heart " hurts" watching it. 😢😢
It broke me 😢
Nice to see more people waking up about the meat and dairy Industries and going Vegan. Plant based food Rocks!❤
All animal products in food but also other forms of animal products such as in clothing and other activities and services that exploit animals
Such as (other animal foods of course), and leather, down, wool, fur and silk
@@SticksBontop do you know what veganism is? No one in this world is going to be perfect but you should try and strive to do the least amount of harm. Do you do any research on the subject of the meat and dairy Industries? Did you know that up to 75% of the soy crops goes to feed the livestock? Did you also know that the meat and dairy Industries are part of the climate change issue? Are you for or against animal cruelty?
@@SticksBontop I personally do not use leather down wool or even fur or silk. You are just trying to justify your taste buds. And not all food has animal in it because plants don't. Animals eat the plants and then you eat the animal but I prefer to not eat the animal and go to the plants myself and just go right to the source.
@@Rescue127 What are you talking about dude? I'm vegan. I'm just pointing out that veganism isn't limited to diet. It's an ethical stance against animal exploitation in all areas of life ("as far as possible and practicable", yeah).
NO JOAQUIN'S OSCAR SPEECH??
Ikr?? I just assumed that would be #1!! It was such an epic moment… 😭🙏✌️
It would've been predictable and we all know what we're talking about. Let's give others some space. Anyway they could've give him a honor mention, yup
He let us all down with his repeated horse riding in movies.
Solid video. One more, for the good guys. ❤ 😎
Excellent news 📰
YESS!! Decent humans with a brain and a soul are vegan. ✌️
Yes! More of these!
There's also Lenny Kravitz
Unfortunately he just follows a vegan diet, he still wears leather and uses animals products!
Please make a differentiation between Vegan an PBD
Vegan for life . 👌 best decision I ever made .💎
Thanks for this vid :)
Moby is the REAL DEAL! Some celeb vegans will eventually disappoint, but Moby is very obviously in it for life.
I'm 42 years vegan , what an education, great decision too , go go
wow! Incredible 👏
Brilliant video! Love it when celebrities enforce such a positive message, they're the people the average person takes their advice from so it makes a change to the usual corporate rubbish!
with you on this 🙌
Thank you for putting this video out and all you do!
Keep focusing on the health benefits. This message will resonate more than the moral argument.
❤
Cool stuff, lots of them talking about diet more than the animals! Don't forget the #1 reason to go vegan y'all!!!!
I think these testimonies are very powerful. 💚💚💚
☺
Great video, just wish Louis Hamilton talked about the ethics and I don't understand how he can say being vegan can be hard. What is hard is preparing raw meat to cook and the clean up after the meal.
Paul Saladino talks about using the animal's energy to be the best husband, best wife, so on. You have your human will power and heart for that. No need to steal the energy of an animal. Even if it's for self-perfection.
yeah and Paul decided he needed to be healthy by adding Fruit and Honey to his "Carnivore Diet".. slowly he'll be adding back in vegetables again .. secretly he probably already has
So very glad you did not include the detestable Smiley Virus in this list.
What about Doyle from the Misfits??
Awesomeness
The band Propagandhi were the ones that convinced me to adopt a vegan lifestyle. No looking back and that was 15 years ago
congrats on 15 years!
All have my deepest respect. And I'm sure the animals feel the same way 🌱✌🏽
I liked that this was such a diverse group. Not just white women, but black men and women too.
Yep & a diverse range of industries too ❤
Vegan FTW!!!
Spoons over knives. If something requires a knife that's not human food.
Yeah it’s a big problem now with people defining vegan as a selfish diet for nicer skin or personal happiness. That’s what a healthy diet can do for you and it can be a side effect of living vegan but I see a lot of celebrities and regular old people totally misunderstanding the whole point which is to live a lifestyle that minimizes cruelty and destruction. Nice skin does neither.
The problem is that it’s easy for people to laugh and go anti vegan cause to them it’s a bunch of crazy people trying to push their diet on others which isn’t reality. Arguing against the vegan lifestyle is arguing for planet destruction and violence.
I love to see it
🥦 💪🏼 ❤
No animal needs to die in order for me to live ❤❤
You forgot Joaquin Phoenix speech at oscars or what it was :) or am i wrong
Celebrities are the most fickle. How many remain vegan after five years? It's just a fad for them.
What about Lenny Kravitz,woody harrelson and joquim phoenix?
I turned to plantbase for my health and wellbeing
awesome - how are you finding it?
I guess vegan celebrities deal with same identity & social issues as we normal vegans do...
❤
WFPB and Vegan.....works! Retired- Canada
Not for everyone
@@Jodie-mastersonworks for most given there are 300,000(few thousands are only cultivated but still a lot ) edible plants. Even if some allergy that is a lot of plants to choose from. Gas ,bloating issues due to intolerance and fiber can be over come by including variety of plants ,using the right cooking method and increasing the problematic plant food in your diet gradually.
Otherwise time to seek a good plant based doctor or any other doctor that is specialised in whatever health issue you think would be preventing you from keeping away most of your diet wfpb .
Also if you understand veganism then i believe one can be vegan even if they have to include some animal products as the definition clearly says you need to avoid animal products as far as is possible and practicable.
There are some community on social platforms like reddit and others that someone can look at for answers and most probably any questions you have ,might have been answered already or you can ask community anytime !
@@abhayagarwal5097 I have too many food allergies thay make a plant based diet unappealing and I’ve tried and failed many times
Some of these celebs need to say they went plant based and not vegan, as they changed their diet for health reasons and not because of the animals. Good on the ones that actually changed for the sake of animal lives though.
We 🩷 Sarah
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
joaquin phoenix is missing!!
Horse enslaver
He exploits horses
Joaquin uses horses
PBN I appreciate all your content but can we PLEASE make a clear delineation between "vegan" and "plant based"? For instance, sounds to me like Ne-yo and Kendrick eat plant based for their health, not the animals. Not all these people are "vegan." If we let non-ethical vegans use that word, then they are able to drag it in the mud when they eventually STOP eating that way. Please be more cognizant of the word choice.
I agree with you as words have its distinct purpose and representation ❤
Hey cartergirl...... If you HATE animals AND WANT THEM EXTINCT!!! Then, by YOUR definition, BE a hard core VEGAN, by all means..... 😢 Thank YOU for clarifying this for me. It's a mandate I feared existed......😩😭😱. Take the time to think it through!! For the animals' sake. EXTINCTION is FOREVER!! 👃👃👃✌️🇨🇦
That saved me typing-out a new comment.
THE PERFECT DEFINITION OF “VEGANISM”:
In most instances within this book, I have used the term “vegan” according to its PERFECT definition, meaning, to understand what the person who coined the word had in mind when he coined the word, and devising a new definition that comports with authentic ethics, instead of any of the past or present definitions supplied by The Vegan Society of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, all of which are fundamentally flawed.
The perfect (though not necessarily the most succinct) definition of “veganism”, is as follows:
Veganism is the ideological or ETHICAL position that humans ought to desist from unjustifiably harming non-human animal life, either directly or indirectly (justified harm, being normally defined as that harm caused to a non-human animal as a result of self-defence, consuming animals due to true hunger as a consequence of a lack of edible vegetation, and/or eradicating vermin from one’s workplace or from one’s dwelling). The term is normally applied also to any product that was produced without causing undue harm (meaning, morally-unjustifiable harm) to any non-human animal. Obviously, this implies the avoidance of using any products of animal origin for food, clothing, etc., as far as practicable.
Ideally, because there exists no descriptor for a person who does NOT commit the sin of theft (or any other crime, for that matter, except perhaps, the word “teetotaler”), there ought not be a term for a person who desists from harming animals unduly. Hopefully, one day soon, the vast majority of humans will become compassionate vegans, thus rendering the term “vegan” (as well as “vegetarian”) redundant. Of course, it is preferred that all humans become vegans according to the above definition, since the official definition is profoundly inconsistent:
THE VEGAN SOCIETY’S IMPERFECT DEFINITION OF “VEGANISM”:
The Vegan Society’s definition of veganism has been amended and refined over the years. The current definition is overly-verbose, and reads:
“Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practicable - all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”
The most problematic article in this definition of “veganism”, is the phrase encompassed by the two dashes. The initial clause, “as far as is possible”, is somewhat contradictory to the following clause, “as far as is practicable (i.e. able to be put into practice)”. The former clause (POSSIBLE) is simply superfluous, and is made redundant by the second clause (PRACTICABLE). Theoretically, it is POSSIBLE to go to extreme lengths in order to avoid animal exploitation, but that is hardly PRACTICABLE by any human who is living a worthwhile existence, so only the clause “practicable” is required. When the perfect definition of “veganism”, provided in the previous subsection, is studied, it ought to be clear that the best term to use instead of “possible and practicable”, by far, is “unjustified”. Is it POSSIBLE for me to attempt to catch the hundreds of mosquitoes that enter my dwelling each day, here in the tropics, and set them outside my house? Possibly, yes! However, is it PRACTICAL for me to do so, since it would require a considerable amount of valuable time? Absolutely not! The life of a totally unconscious insect is truly insignificant, compared to that of a human being, especially one who is a member of the Holy Priesthood (The World Teacher Himself, in my particular case). Of course, this ought not imply that one should intentionally kill insects that one happens across during one’s morning jog, or whilst strolling through a public botanical garden - that would constitute unjustified harm, unless, of course, the insect was attacking one. This position, though eminently logical and “dharmic”, will not be accepted by the most obsessively-fanatical vegans, because, just like the most fervent pseudo-religious fanatics, as well as the most rabid feminists and communists, they are afflicted with a very close-minded mentality.
Furthermore, at the risk of seeming rather trivial, contrary to the above definition, veganism is neither a philosophy nor a way of life. Veganism is purely an ethical position, or to put it even more tersely, it is simply a moral disposition towards non-human animals, that they ought not be harmed unduly. Morality, as explained in another chapter, is nothing more than avoiding UNJUSTIFIED harm (and executing beneficial actions).
Just as the terms “racism”, “sexism”, and “speciesism” have been discredited in the Glossary of this book, the term “veganism” too, is flawed. Of course, this is conditional upon the premise that the aforementioned four words are defined as they are by most dictionaries, as well as by most humans (in the case of the first two), or by the two Englishmen who defined the latter two terms. There is evidence that the term “vegan”, when first coined by the founder of The Vegan Society, Mr. Donald Watson, with auxiliary input from his then-future wife, Dorothy, in the year 1944 CE, initially referred to a dietary usage of the word, but soon afterwards morphed into a definition founded upon the ethical treatment of animals (though worded rather differently by The Vegan Society). Mr. & Mrs. George A. Henderson were influential in the development of the term early-on, and in the year 1949, Mr. Leslie J. Cross was responsible for codifying the term to mean: “To seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man”. If the reader has carefully studied the all-important twelfth chapter of this treatise, he or she should be able to guess why this definition is problematic. Moral culpability is predicated on any intentional harm that cannot be properly justified by the perpetrator. Therefore, the above definition ought to have included the qualification “unjustified”, and thus, have read: “To seek an end to the UNJUSTIFIED use of animals…”
The definition proffered by this author (above), FULLY encompasses the ideology of veganism far more succinctly. An even more concise definition could be: “Veganism is the ethical position that humans ought to desist from unjustifiably harming non-human animal life”. In other words, there is no need to use the term “veganism” if one is conversant with meta-ethics, since the definition of the word “morality”, includes all actions that result in unjustified harm, and not only those actions that harm non-human animals. Again, this topic was thoroughly explained in Chapter. 12. See also “carnist”, in the Glossary. Incidentally, The Vegan Society founder, Mr. Donald Watson, lived to the ripe old age of ninety-five years, despite his critics informing him that he will soon die, as a consequence of his newly-adopted diet! How amazing it is that a fully herbivorous species of animal (we humans) can be completely healthy on our natural diet, would you not agree? I am being sarcastic!
I agree with you 1000 %!! I am so sick of animals getting left behind, and now health gurus, fitness models and shallow commerce try to steal it from the animals and making it be about perfect skin and a slim waistline...
I am vegan. I get where you’re coming from but this is the kind of exclusivist attitude that ironically drives people away from veganism. You think you are helping with your labels and keeping your group “pure,” but this self righteousness has the opposite effect on people. It just reeks of the same ego condescending tone of Christians upon “others.” Zealots don’t attract people- they simply polarize into “us” vs “them.” Find a compassionate way to include people into your “vegan” or “plant based” circle.
Jedi Mind Tricks - Topic
The human skeleton needs lots of calcium from calcium-rich plants, but from animal products those carnivores need to prove it they can over time
Is Neyo still vegan?
Thankfully I listened to celebrities as much as main stream news and trust the science doctors.
Trust the science, not doctors.
Doctors will lie to you or tell you misinformation. They haven't had proper training and they aren't up with the latest research. They are humans just like average people. Fallible and with their own brain washed beliefs, delusions, and addictions.
Doctors will lie to your or tell you misinformation.
Doctors will lie to you or tell you misinformation.
Have you seen the science that the FDA released.. Fruit Loops are way healthier than steak
these poeple miss the point that even if it wasn't healthy it's still super valid to do because of the lives being taken, and life is top priority. that's why so many of them stop being vegan and go back to doing horrendous things.
Yea never makes sense to me ,even if it wasn't that much healthy or they suffered from some health issues they would immediately go back to old diet as they have no real reason to stick to current one
Not all of them are vegan - most of them are just plant based at best!
Better than not doing anything?
I think everyone can do better. There's always space in our lives to eliminate cruelty. Our world is saturated in human cruelty towards each other, animals and the planet. Where we draw our boundaries is not an absolute right way. Whilst the plant based and vegan movement gathers momentum, let's be encouraging and not cliquey, scoffing and exclusive when people make efforts to eliminate cruelty from their lives.
@@scooterboy3676 Abolition is different from tolerating. It's an important difference
@@janerainbow22 We have one movement for the animals. It's called veganism. It's important to preserve that definition and not water it down and let people think eating a plant based diet is enough. It's not. We must banish animal exploitation from all areas of our life.
Eating a plant based diet is a step in the right direction, but it's not good enough for the animals, and it's important to recognise the fact that it doesn't make someone vegan. Veganism is the moral baseline for respecting animals.
I Miss the days of the tar and feather.
Billie Eilish
Well.. celebs flip all the time.. but true animals wpuld never.. so it doesn't matter which celeb is vegan and which isn't..
Paul wesley is a different story tho.
... He's not just a celeb.. he's a true animal lover!
Can we please, as a movement, recognise and agree that there is a difference between being vegan and going on a plant based diet? If you're eating a diet to shed a few pound or improve blood lipids you're not vegan...
Most actual vegans understand it. Plant based people erroneously use the word vegan. So of course Plant Based News does too.
@@SticksBontop Yeah, I'm not worried about Plant Based News not getting this. What worries me is that veganism as a philosophy gets watered down until it stops being about animals, and instead about vanity, health or some other egotistical motive.
What are their blood types?
If bears eat carrots and lettuce, I'm pretty sure all humans can strive eating plants.
Irrelevant.
The idea of a blood type diet is pure nonsense. People really need to stop believing misinformation.
Blood type diets have been completely debunked. It was only ever just some guy who wrote a book in the 90s and never had any basis in scientific literature. Studies have found that all blood types benefit from eating the blood type A diet. That's the one that's the most plant based and it benefits everyone no matter what type you are.
Oh so it is real lol. Came across a comment from "ex" vegan saying how bad their health was because blood type and some holistic medicine practitioner put them on meat only diet and they are probably doing good or not who knows!
Thankyou, but please could you ensure that you give a trigger warning?
I know the clip with the pig wasnt violent, but it spoke volumes in emotion, of fear and bewilderment.
Im vegan for animals, and even though I force myself to watch things to learn, seeing such things, especially without warning, can affect me badly.
Unless they do it for strong ethical reasons, they won't stay vegan for the long-term. Almost everyone can include some animal products in their diet and be healthy
Stop highlighting the people not talking about animal rights. So many of these people in it for health drop it a couple years ready. Vegan for the animals.

More vegan celebs means more vegans around the globe.
We need more vegans - less celebs.
you @@farfimandon't want more competent people in the entertainment industry to endorse and advert for the healthiest of living that is veganism?
The world isn't a globe/ball actually 😊 otherwise, yes.
@@unlimitedhangout5 Its a Colloquialism
@@arjunratnadev People that follow celebs to become vegan also quit veganism just as fast. Celebs are very fickle.
I wondered whether you would feature Robert Downey Jr :)
Then I wondered are these ones all still vegan and for how long exactly and then... you accept that they claim to be vegan now when they say it but woe unto them that may consume flesh in the future... they were never vegan 🤣
Is this the new pandemic on youtube, video cutters not checking audio levels anymore?
lol " very challenging" ....Net worth 300 million. Of course it is Lewis. smh
Vegans that are athletes and in on one man athletes don't win the big titles or big titles, in a team game, for sure. But by themselves they are bad athletes. Lewis is never winning the big title, the big trophies and gold, maybe minor titles, but not the big one. Especially those Olympic level athletes, they definitely aren't winning gold medals, maybe be 3rd or 2nd place, but you wanna be 1st place if your a competitor of the sport. Kyrie is never winning another nba title ever again and chris paul definitely isn't winning the a nba title, he lost that chance a long time ago. I look at these vegan body builders and strongmen and power lifters, they aren't breaking records or setting records and they to also aren't gonna win the big titles, the titles that actually matter. There not beating brian shaw or eddie hall or mark felix.
Honestly, I'd generally rather not see celebrities having a loud voice about anything, including veganism.
If Taylor Swift and Beyonce and j-lo all become vegan and stay vegan, it would do a tonne of good for the animals.
@@Magar6 Agreed, but with great hesitation. Taylor Swift, for example, seems to have become a polarising figure in American politics; would this cause people who do not share her political views to turn against veganism just to spite her? Did it really help that Gwyneth Paltrow espoused veganism before she went back to eating meat? We desperately need something more thoughtful than many celebrities provide. Best wishes to you in any case.
Not a good idea to just follow the herd because some silly celeb is doing it.
Who cares about these people? They can do wether they want. They have zero clue about health, zero, zero
Lot's of people care about celebrities 😊
@@PLANTBASEDNEWS thanks the problem is not just celebrities and those people that we call an expert and don't have the credibility
You rely on the opinions of celebs? That's pathetic.
You act like “Celebs” are known for having an ounce of sense.
This just proves that nonsense breeds nonsense.
I am sorry but I found this video totally uninteresting! This trend the Celebs have something important to say , no matter about what.... I m tired of that. Politics , food , philosophy.... they have opinions about everything ( and that s ok!) and all the mass that just depends on that!c(-that s not good). 👎
Every cloud has its silver lining. True,we shouldn't base our decisions on some strangers hands but we do learn from each other things as we grow in life. So if we weigh things and let our critical thinking to kick in then arrive at our conclusion it's not that bad of a matter, ig you concur with that.
I also agree that celebrity worship is absurd. Yet, nonetheless, these are people that influence the youth and they are using their platform to spread a positive message. So I can get behind the positivity and look past the politics in this one.
@@StephenOfEarth Glad I bumped into you. Everywhere is celebrity fewer bs. I didn't even get why these people are categorised into "celebrity" or "influencers" as it makes no sense. They are just people just like us, what's so compelling about them to get swayed by them. As I said it has its positive side of influencing youth to make better wise choices, like you said let overlook the negative sides🧡
Basically there is no such thing as a "vegan". All of us grow up eating animal derived food. If you build your body out of normal (animal) food, you never can tell about yourself that you are vegan because you are not eating normal (animal) food for a couple of years (deprive yourself of nutrients and quit and come back to normal (animal) food)
not all of us. There are lots of people who have been vegan since birth. It has now been confirmed on multiple occasions by the leading body of Nutritionists and Dietitians that a well-planned whole foods plant based diet is suitable for all stages of life including infants and pregnancy 💚
