Lots of nice comments on the video, too. :)
@MdoubleHB By now even you should realize that you need psychiatric help.
Or you can just admit that are an anti-vegan in disguise.
Swayze is being extremely nice in allowing you to express you freedom of speech on her channel and you are squandering it on your abuse towards her and your anti-scientific statements.
Please get help.
This is not helping anyone, especially yourself.
@MdoubleHB Good, so you are just an anti-scientific anti-vegan in disguise.
Awesome. That takes out the guess work.
Thank you for letting us know.
Goodful also has other videos like "high school student, college student, med student" and "ballerina, bodybuilder, and runner" they do seem to want to show how veganism can fit into any stage of life and any lifestyle. I made the transition only 2 months ago, but seeing videos like theirs has been really encouraging. And seeing your videos has helped me so much to make better informed decisions along the way.
Thanks for the tip! 😊
K lol
my step father became vegetarian in 90s Poland, for years it was typical for him to get a salad with lettuce and maybe a tomato at every wedding or having to ask 100 times if buckwheat is vegetarian at every restaurant and still having it fried on animal fat
he tried every type of disgusting mock meats that came out, ate a lot of tofu and survived all the gross comments about his food choices from everyone around him
and then he got to experience the shift around vegan and vegetarian food
now, he's vegan (my mum as well) living in Warsaw, 6th most vegan friendly city in the world, with every restaurant having at least a few vegan options and his fridge (and freezer) always stacked with the best tasting vegan mock meats❤️truly what we deserve
Hydrating the chia seeds probably had more to do with feeding a baby or someone susceptible to choking since they swell.
That’s exactly what it is. There is a choking warning with chia seeds if they have not been soaked first. it would especially important for small children.
@@heatherdodge8304 Is it possible to blend or grind chia seeds to cut down on the choking hazard?
I'm a 54 y.o. guy that is going on my third year as a vegan and dont see me changing back.
vegans and vegetarians have a short life expectancy.

That's so cute. I remember when I went vegetarian as a teenager was right when Morningstar started being carried in stores. My family and I had no idea how to cook tofu or where to find it. Eventually I found tvp and "soy nuggets" at an Indian grocery store and those really saved my health and a lot of money. It was so much cheaper.... it's crazy how much you can find now but I only ever see something similar to what I found back then in your videos (the soy curls look really similar) I think westerners forget that a lot of the world is actually used to eating at least vegetarian. It's not that difficult once you have access to the right products and recipes.
Ooh yes! I think those Indian soy nuggets are called soya chaap. I had some when I went to India.
For the unsoaked chia, the issue is they can grow in your mouth/throat, especially in little kids who are less likely to swallow correctly.
Came to say this. She wasn’t talking so much about soaking like soaking beans or rice it’s just letting them expand first cuz the amount they can absorb is concerning when it’s a little kid
Wow I jus randomly searched your name to see if you had any new videos only to see you uploaded less than a minute ago
My oldest child went vegetarian at the age of seven in 1996. (He is still vegetarian to this day.) We ate a lot of beans, pastas and rices because the mock meats available were not good. Boca Burgers and Tofu Pups were the least gross, but they were not a regular purchase because they just were not that good. Any kind of meat free nuggets was so yuck. Hard no. We did eat a little tvp, but it had a weird sweetness I didn’t like. Soy curls are so much better!
Fast forward about 8-9 years and my middle child went vegan. By this time I was a pro at cooking lots of yummy bean, rice, and pasta dishes so I didn’t really care about mock meats, but I started looking at vegan cheese. This would have been around 2004-ish. Omg, vegan cheese was all absolutely disgusting. It was waxy and gross and for sure would never melt. I just didn’t cook anything which required cheese. I did get quite good at making a vegan cheese dip with nutritional yeast, though.
When I started trying vegan cheese again over the last few years, I was amazed. There are some really good ones out there. And the mock meats available now are miles away from the weird gross stuff we tried years earlier.
For sure the technology has improved, but think the real difference in vegan cheeses and mock meats came when the low fat craze faded out and they stopped trying to make vegan cheeses and burgers and hot dogs and nuggets with zero fat.
My bf also was like 'mock meat is disgusting', he was raised by Adventists and they encourage you not to eat meat so he had those awful hot dogs and burgers at any function and thought they were terrible. I was like no, it's different now, and then we ate impossible burgers and yes, they are delicious.
The clock is based off salvador dahli paintings :) lots of companies make them, they’re SO cool
The verdict is still out about vegan for all ages. They haven't put that statement back into the health guidelines saying the diet is acceptable for all ages and stages of life.
@Unnatural Vegan+𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟏𝟐𝟓𝟕𝟒𝟑𝟎𝟒 Did you mean someone else below who watches them? Mabibas?
My younger son went vegan at age 15, in 2000. We’ve always had this thing where we’ll try a new food in the parking lot of the grocery store if it’s a food we’re eager to try and if it doesn’t have to be cooked, obviously. Anyway, we bought some vegan soy cheese. I spit mine out on the ground it was so bitter and somehow simultaneously grainy, rubbery, and greasy. It was bad. It sat in the fridge for a while until we both admitted there was no way we were eating that and just threw it away. And, yes, he is still vegan 22 years later.
Wow! Major respect to your son for being vegan for so long. It must have been tough back then.
Wow how the hell did people even know about veganism in 2000?
I went vegan in around 1988 and yeah no Internet no UA-cam, and yeah, very difficult.
Your face when she started talking about iodised salt was so cute
I agree with you about the 30-year vegan. I didn't use them as transition food at all. I avoided ANYTHING that looked like or reminded me of animal products. Everything I made was basically a new experience in food from around the world in vegan form. It was a fun adventure and I enjoyed each dish without nostalgia or other emotional triggers that wouldn't be so fun. I do enjoy mock meats and similar products now, but that's because they are so easily available today (11 years for me) and I am also in support of it for people who feel they would prefer familiar food over exotic.
My mom went vegan at age 71. After less than a year, doctor said she no longer needs her 2 high blood pressure drugs and 1 high cholesterol drug.
This is my new favourite video of yours. It's great cos it's Friday evening where I am here. Usually you release videos Monday morning, about 8 am UK time and im late for work 🤷♂️
The thing with soaking the chia seeds first is that if you're unlucky, they'll hydrate in your bowels and turn into kind of a plug which is reaaaally bad
With a kid having such a small gut, the risk of it being clogged by chia seeds is much higher that an adult's
This was so cute! Its sweet to see a video on positive vegan parenting!
I've been vegan for 6 years and I actually eat more mock meats now than when I first transitioned into veganism. I'm in college now (I went vegan when I was 13) and mock meats are a super convenient way to get protein and necessary nutrients into my diet without having to spend much time cooking. A lot of the people who say that mock meats are only good for transitioning seem to think that all processed foods are equal, but that's not the case. For example, a gardein beefless patty is miles different from vegan mozzarella sticks. It's totally possible to incorporate processed foods into a healthy vegan diet.
what about carnivore at any age? feed kids steak and eggs and they get all their nutrition easily
Living in Norway, it feels like the vegan selection is much like how it was in the 80s in the US. Its usually hard to find tofu and tempeh in regular stores, and i live in one of the largest cities. When i find vegan cheese etc. its veery expensive. Seeing your video reminds me of what the future here will hopefully be. :)
All my kids eat tomatoes like apples- it’s messy
Loved seeing positive content from you! And if anyone knows who these people are I’d love to get more food inspo from them
Their instas are in the beginning of the video under their names! She only showed the mom but the rest are in the original video
The last part of the video😂 not a chewed almond in the kids mouth for half an hour😭😭 thats was so sad but so funny. Good luck with that, you seem like an awesome mom:)
My daughter (3) loves cherry tomatoes... especially home grown ones. But good luck getting her to eat any other veggies that aren't hidden in a blended pasta or cheese sauce. She thinks emerging else is too crunchy or just gross. Hoping she'll grow out of it
15:09 Didn't realise that it was his name until you said it.......
Off topic, but you look so nice in this colour 😊😊
Video Idea: What my Vegan Partner eats in a day? There were videos of what kids eat, why not Partner?
Such a lovely, feel-good video! Thank you 🥰
Well said!
The “transition food” thing has always bugged me too! So many wonderful meat substitutes came out long after I gave up their “real” alternatives, and I’m not going to miss out on them! 😉
I’m a primarily wfpb vegan since nearly 6 years now. We never thought, that our baby could be a picky eater, bc we ate everything growing up. So it hit me very hard. My baby is a picky eater since he started eating food. He is now 20 months old and he is eating not enough and also nearly no fruit and veggies. I am really well educated about nutrition, but of course I had appointments with specialists, like a pediatrician, specialized in vegan diets, a dietitian, specialized in picky eating… I’m a little bit desperate. I also booked the picky eater course from solid starters…
Swayze has talked about this in many videos so in case you haven't seen them yet it may be worth looking through her videos
I think a lot of it came down to the consistencies/textures for her kids
30years is so impressive. Mad respect!!
This was a nice video. Was definitely cool to see different ages and what they eat.
Rather eat a real grass fed burger in moderation than a fake one
Ok, if your Brussels sprouts are bitter, they haven’t been properly cooked! That means their outsides have been cooked but not the inner layer. When properly cooked they’re actually a bit sweet.
It’s a very nice video, hopefully encouraging to people who have doubts. Not at all the same generation but I became vegan ~7 years ago. I live in the south of France and vegan alternatives were a rare sight (or it was so out of my student budget, I didn’t even try those).. man, I have cooked my own cheese (even have a cookbook), never would have imagined that mockmeats become a reality at the time.
My mom hates bread crusts, so growing up I always found the crust she left behind. I loved it, so I used to eat people's crust.
@Unnatural Vegan+𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟏𝟐𝟓𝟕𝟒𝟑𝟎𝟒 Scam
This was so nice to see! Thank you for reviewing this video :)
If you like salad, try your greens the way Cava makes their super greens. Kale, brussel sprouts and broccoli. Just pulse each ingredient in a food processor until pieces are pretty small, then mix together and add the rest of your salad ingredients. It’s a way to get in some brussel sprouts and when they’re raw they don’t have that bitter taste.
"All these silly vegans saying meat is transition food are probably not going to be vegan in a year" Too true lol
That was fast! I'm glad you did this.
Your purple cake story reminds me of when I needed green frosting. Realised I only had blue, so improvised with turmeric. It did not go well 🙈
on the crust thing, my mom would always cut the bread first, and then toast the remainder into breadcrumbs! I also have had some success making croutons out of them, but the breadcrumb route is the way to go
That’s genius! I’m going to use your moms wisdom from now on.
Best Brussel sprouts roast 415f 30-40 min. Chop in halves or quarter. Make glaze with whole grain mustard, brown sugar or maple syrup and balsamic vinegar bit of olive oil salt and pepper. I don’t find them bitter that way. Hope it helps!
If I had nine of my fingers missing I wouldn’t type any slower.
I love the three wishes cereals! The fruity and the frosted are my favorites!
About keeping food in the mouth - when I was a kid I sometimes zoned out and kept chewing something for too long to the point that it was a gross pulp and I didn't want to swallow it anymore. To fix this situation my grandma told me that if I chew something for too long it turns into a toad in my mouth 🤣. So one time I was walking around in the house and chewing a carrot for too long and I didn't want to swallow it anymore cause at that point I was sure it's a toad, I was thinking what to do with it and suddenly I unleashed a monstrous sneeze and evenly sprayed whole white wall with carrot pulp, ceiling to floor. After this event my grandma dropped the food-turning-to-toad rhetoric 😁
Haha that's a hilarious story!
can you talk about your conversations with your kids about other kids in their school eating meat?
Please read the book "Becoming Vegan: The Complete Reference to Plant-Based Nutrition (Comprehensive Edition)" by Brenda Davis, RD and Vesanto Melina, MS RD for proper vegan nutrition guidance before becoming a vegan. Happy vegan journey!
If you have an Aldi near you I saw oatmeal squares for 2.50 a box there!!
Soaking chia seeds is a safety issue, to prevent choking (bc they can expand in your throat I guess?)
To take the bitterness out of brussel sprouts try boiling in half milk half water rather than just water. Vegan milks should work fine.
Such a mom vibe 🤣 @ draw your shapes on paper, eat your sandwich!
Mixing ground up legumes with wheat flour makes decent pancake but it tastes more like hash browns.
Hahaha your comment on lentil pasta is so accurate! But I love it anyways 💁🏼♀️
You have to try the three wishes - it’s SO good. The cinnamon and the chocolate flavors are BOMB
Great video!🥰
Another good protein powder is peanut butter, I used make for work half/half whole wheat, white flour pancakes with peanut butter powder for flavor they are so good. Peanut powder is game changer in foods. 😋
That much nutmeg would kill me dead.
Hmm, didn't know that about acid & legumes. Thanks!
The clock is super cool, but imagining having to dust a white clock with 3000% surface area to grab dust is really off putting.
I’ve found the same basically any pasta that isn’t flour (chickpea, lentil, bean, etc) stays very firm. To be fair while wheat stays kinda Al Dente
Why not ground the chia? That's the best thing texture-wise.
Are you doing traditional or baby led weaning with baby 3? Would love to hear your thoughts on BLW 🥰
Instead of just egg, go to your local indian/South asian shop and grab yourself some chickpea flour and black salt. The chickpea flour = base and black salt has a very eggy taste so mixing a bit in will do the trick.
Aww the emotion is understandstandable, I thought it was a great video too
Just Egg is just moong bean daal pancake mix marketed at white people. Look up a recipe for moong bean daal pancakes, and you can make it for dirt cheap 😊
I thought it was chickpea flour, that's what I've used instead of egg, either in omlet or baking
my vegetarian kids (3 and 5) are very picky but will eat raw tomatoes - specifically grape tomatoes because they're sweet. there is hope!
The crust is my favorite lol
Loved this one :)
Aaaaw. This was such a feel good video
Try the Brussels sprouts roasted with maple syrup and vegan bacon x
Once my mom got me a cereal made from beans. Absolutely disgusting. I've tried Catalina Crunch which I really like.
love to see it!
I never understood why nuts and seeds were in the protein group..theyre not good sources. On average only 6-7 grams per ounce...and in conparison to fatband calories thats not much. They are really just sources of healthy plant based fats.
Peanuts have a lot of lysine, so they're a bit different. But yea, for adults, I think of nuts as primarily fat sources. It's a bit different for little kids, since they need so little protein and lots of fat. A tbsp of peanut butter is a pretty significant source if you only need ~20g of protein.
@unnaturalvegan...didnt know about about peanuts good point. Also, I dont have kids so nutritionally they never come up on my radar but makes sense.
Oh yay it isn't just my kids who hate tomatoes. They will crunch celery all day and eat spinach out if a bag but if you give them a tomatoes it's a no go also pepper they will eat raw but it its cooked they won't touch it.
My oldest doesn’t like fruit. Any fruit. She’ll eat her body weight in Olives and pickles and hummus but grapes? No. Middle doesn’t like chocolate. My kids are odd and I love them.
Helloo I've been wondering if you have a P. O. box? I live in Germany and I'd actually like to send you some vegan stuff to try :)
What happened to the other 2 videos? Only the toddler one was shown!
She showed the three videos and commented on them. What are you talking about?
Three wishes is sooo good but sooo expensive
Glad it’s not just me that doesn’t wanna put oat flour in things 😂
Phenomenal Video
If I give my toddler a shape cut sandwich I will never be able to give her a regular sandwich again 😂 no thanks
😂
Excellent.
A Friends moms are vegan for 30 years in January. One of them lived of bier(?) for most of the time😂 Welcome to Germany, bier is vegan by law
When I heard her say soak the chia seeds, it reminded me of a news story about a man "drinking" dry chia seeds with a gulp of water and they expanded in his throat and choked him.
I must be crazy.. did I hear her saying a little bit of cows cheese on top?" I hope I’m just confused here…
she telling that to people that won't fully commit to being vegan "and probably never will" at least they are eating less cheese.
@@christylbk good! I’m glad I heard it wrong!
This video never came up in my subs feed.....
yes anyone can be vegan at any age. But what about thriving at any age
Greatly depends on the person and their particular food sensitivities.
IMO Most people can thrive on a vegan diet at any age, few cannot and would require some animal products to fully thrive.
Is fully thriving, instead of merely being healthy, worth paying for animal harm though?
If they don’t sit it won’t be work like an egg
I feel like this word is overused as I spend waaay too much time on politic tube lately but clarifying "fortified" plant-based milk was so BASED.
If i ate that much vegan processed food here in my country I'd go bankrupt hahaha
🔥
I would not raise a child to damage his body just for the animals....being all minecraft skeleton, if he would need the most important food to gain weight , I will protect his rights against veganism
Did you read the book Swayze recommends before you posted this comment?
If so, please let me know why feeding a child as recommended in this book would make it become a skeleton?
@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear to not let children have real milk, needing meat in his body the most.....also I'm anti vegan, so I'm definitely not agreeing with you
@MdoubleHB to raised children to have bone fracture....well you can have fun with that....your most risk then vegetarian
@MdoubleHB for being underweight...that's unhealthy if they get weight 90....but if you wanna be underweight, I advice you eat avocado 🥑
@@darthdripwalker9400 Why would you 'definitely' disagree with? I am not an anti-anti-vegan. Just pro-science.
In fact I completely understand that you would not want to ever risk the health of your child, but I am also pro-science so I ask you for your evidence, not your feelings.
PS: You can ignore MdoubleHB. He is just a troll who pretends to be a (raw) vegan. No need to waste your hate or pitty on him. All he needs is help. (Or a girlfriend?)
The try new things part of veganism is honestly very off putting to me as an autistic person. It takes a lot for me to try a new food and those new foods have to be on their own. I can't cope with stuff mixed together or too many different things on my plate. The messaging of you can just try new delicious foods makes me very anxious. It's overwhelming and my brain just says no.
That sounds really hard!
Veganism is about reducing harm - as far as is possible and practicable. So don't feel discouraged if making big changes isn't practicable for you right now. Your mental health matters most.
If you're interested in reducing your consumption of animal products, maybe you could pick one ingredient that you feel ready to leave out and commit to trying one alternative per week (or month or any other timeline that suits you) until you've found something that works for you. Once you're comfortable with that, you can move on to the next ingredient.
Any change you implement for the long run has a positive impact. :)
Good luck on your vegan journey!
I hate to be that person, but I just found a channel that critics vegans based on absolutely nothing but her feelings. There's so much dumb stuff and she did a video on some of your videos. She even lies and says at some point that the academy of nutrition and dietetics no longer supports veganism for all stages of life.
I know you'd completely debunk everything with *actual evidence.*
The channel is Vegan Deterioration or something like that.
If you feel like destroying someone with facts sometime soon then perhaps that's the channel to reply to.
Then again I hate giving channels like that publicity so I understand if you'd rather not react to the video. But I also know it would be so satisfying to see that video get completely debunked with science 😄
I've seen her videos. It's really cringey
@@Espresso_plz 100%, so I was surprised she has even one person who supports her channel, but apparently there's those corners on the internet that are just full cringe 😅
Hey, I love your videos, they help me so much feeling my best on a vegan diet. In this video you said (16:10) "if you can reduce your child's chance of becoming obese, honestly that's one of the best things you can do for them health wise." Until a few weeks ago I would have 100% agreed. I've been listening a lot to the podcast "maintenance phase" on Spotify, I don't know if you've heard of it. They have an episode called "is being fat bad for you?" which really made me reflect on my beliefs about being fat and the health consequences. I thought obviously you will have higher risks of certain diseases if you are fat. But after that episode I'm questioning this. It appears to be much more complicated than that. I don't know, I was just wondering if you, Swayze, or you whoever is reading this from this smart community has any thoughts on this. Anyway, thanks for the great video and have a lovely day :)
Vegan to much calories omg
Please don't take this as complaining.. but the yuck flower is back in frame and I can't.. I can't look at the screen without my eyes going straight to it and getting goosebumps..
It's her "water closet". It's cool place to film videos there. Besides, she can do two things at the same time.
@MdoubleHB There you go again. Please, go on Vegan Grains channel too.
Which one is the yuck flower? I’m curious
The real question is why be vegan at all?
Because it's better for yourself, animals, and the earth with a little planning.
@@eeng17 I mean the earth is made out of mostly plants so it’s sort of like a 50/50 I guess
