Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays. My New Years Resolution is to be nicer to ppl in real life and on the internet in general. What is yours if you dont mind saying or making a video about it!
Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas Lovely Lady🎄See you next Year🎆
happy holidays!!!
You too, Swayze! 😁
@@MdoubleHB..x Oh yes, It's so very late! Good riddiance
My personal best news of the year is going vegan in May 2023 for the animals. After years of halfheartedly trying but succumbing to my taste buds, I watched Earthlings and have not gone back. Watching you helps my motivation with every video!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! That is a big step and every individual matters ❤️
I went vegan at about the same time!
❤
That’s awesome!
It's definitely not anti Spanish to be anti bullfighting. I'm Spanish and I would have trouble finding people where I live who do support BF. And below a certain age, it's almost unheard of.
Happy holidays!
Apparently it's mostly funded and kept alive by tourists 😥
Disney pass holder here! Wish more people were talking about it, but in 2018 Disney made it so every restaurant and store on Disney property including resorts and water parks has at least one vegan option on the menu without modifications
Which is so amazing!
News like these always cheer me up. Here in Mexico, vegan options and restaurants are becoming more common, and the fact that more people even know what the word vegan means seems like progress to me
It´s harder in places where the traditional diet is centered around meat and seafood, like Spain.
Our whole household (3) are going vegan for new years! We went vegetarian in july and gave ourselves a while to do research and prep. Our deva vitams came in the mail last week, 95% of the animal products are gone from the house and we wont be buying more once they’re out ❤
Also got 2 of my coworkers to try tofu and they didn’t hate it W
That's so good!! Just be patient and don't be hard on yourself if you accidentally buy a product with animals derived ingredients or have something from an animal when going out.
Well done. It is certainly a whole lot easier than doing this on your own too.
@@MdoubleHB..x It’s amazing how anyone survives cooked food lol.
I became a vegetarian in 1972 and vegan 12 years ago. There has been so many positive changes over the decades! I am optimistic for the future! Also, Stella McCartney is a vocal advocate for sustainable, cruelty-free fashion sourcing and calling out COP 28 for serving animal food at their conferences! I love your channel and look forward to each new episode. Thank you for being such a productive advocate for animals!
Vegetarian for 50 years! Awesome. I’ll be excited to have been vegan for that long one day.
I didn’t know that Esther passed away. I recently have been avoiding social media and hadn’t heard. I had started following her in December 2013, 9 months into my veganism.
That sweet piggy inspired SO many people ❤
I have been struggling with staying vegan after going strong for 3 years due to some mental health issues / isolation etc. and my social groups dropping veganism left and right and these kinds of recaps really help me stay positive every year. I am going to try my hardest to realign myself with my values and work through this. Thank you for the videos as always!!
Stay strong. You are right, they are wrong.
@@SamuelBlackMetalRider You know everyone is wrong for something ?
2024 will be my first year with entirely no animal products! Been vegan for most of this year, and never going back. News like this is what I love to see; it's much better than hearing about depressing world events all the time. Much appreciated.
I agree. I am just completing my second year. Still sad that it took me so long to make the necessary change.
Our dogs have been vegan for years. Petco and Pet Supermarket both carry products like Natural Balance and Halo which both offer vegan options for dogs. What is great to hear is that a new product is entering that market!
I don’t think we need to project vegan diet on dogs
Despite not being vegan, I do enjoy hearing about improvements in the treatment of livestock. Hopefully animal welfare continues to improve, so they can have decent lives while in our care.
I agree. You don't have to be vegan to care about the welfare of animals in general.
I had to pause 😢, health stuff, income stuff, but silently I'm still vegan except for certain things, still trying to be vegan as many days and as many meals as I can
@@therabbithat every bit helps. Being vegetarian is the best way to go, as you do not restrict yourself to the extremes and not have to worry, depending on your sources, where you get your dairy and wool from.
I'm pescatarian, but currently going down a vegan rabbit hole, must have watched 100s of videos etc. Not going vegan (not up for discussion) but I support the vegans none the less, going to join a few patreons etc.
I love it that you lift some positive stuff. Its easy to feel bad when thinking about what happens to animals, but its important to see these changes. Things are happening ❤ thank you! Happy holidays!
It is so inspiring to see all the news! It is easy to get down when there is so much animal suffering. But i am seeing vegan food so much more now then i was when i first went vegan.
Thanks for the uplifting news! If you are getting into the coughing fit phase of your cold, try gargling with salt water. It's gross, but it staves off the coughing fits for a long time for me.
your videos are so calming, i always put em on to relax and focus for art projects or working out
Same I put them on while cleaning, I've watched every video like 5 times hahaha
It’s 45 countries that have banned animal testing!!!! Chile passed the bill just this week because of the advocacy of an awesome organization 🎉
Idk why but the "do all the things" in the end cracked me up
As a steady train of watching this channel - combined with conversations and inclinations before watching this channel (we would have got here ourselves, just slower) - my spouse and I are now vegetarian and are going to attempt veganuary as our first step towards going fully vegan. Now we just really need to find some new and easy recipes.
I look forward to this video every year 🥳
It’s my favorite video of the year!!
Thank you for such uplifting news! Happy Holidays!
These news are awesome and a great start to the holidays! Thank you :D
One of my favourite videos every year! Thank you!
Knew less of this good news than I expected, awesome!! Vegan casein sounds like a game changer
Thank you for the uplifting video!
Introduced my non vegan partner to your content this year and it's become a bit of a Sunday morning ritual to binge your videos while we have cups of tea with the cook books out, planning our menu for the week! Thank you for all you do. I've told my partner all about Freelee and how watching your content was a very timely antidote to all the raw BS that was fuelling my ED. We're both very grateful to you!
Thank you for including Björk!!! ❤
Thanks for this. I enjoyed it. ❤ Veg News is an awesome resource.
The ikea hot dog is so good. And they do it up with what I remember being a delicious sauce and a fermented beet salad thing
Thanks for the video, it actually found it uplifting.
This vid rocks, happy holidays everyone
Thank you for your work, Unnatural Vegan. Keep it up!
Love such videos, love you tone of conversation ❤
Also looking forward to the yearly video from Plant-based news
Thank you for this. I needed this and it gave me hope. Subscribed. Vegan love to you
so lovely, thanks for doing this 🥰🍄🌱🌸🩷
Happy new year !
Thanks Swayze!
Cool!! These are *EXCELLENT* news, many Thanks for this vid.
And personally, I tried YoEgg almost half-a-year ago and absolutely LOVED it. I also Love Oatly - and Algae Ice-Cream sure sounds cool. I can't wait to try it...🙂
Enjoying Meati right now (thanks for recommending). It is amazing! Will be purchasing again!
Great video!
Oh I was in Mexico in November and I was TRAWLING the airport in GDL for any vegan food and then the teriyaki veg subway sign descended from the heavens 😂 it was pretty good! Although doesn't help that the workers had no concept of what vegan was so the sauce was difficult to order
Wow I had no idea so many good things happened for animals this year.❤ this makes me so happy
Awesome video!
I tried the original potato milk from that swedish brand and it’s fine like most plant milks, but as always I’ll stick with oat and soy. I think they’re hard to beat.
Also it wasn’t even full potato, so it’s kind of misleading imo.
Watching your videos in 2019 helped me become vegan in 2020 after growing up vegetarian. Keep up the awesome work❤
Bittersweet... TY obviously!
I didn't know about Esther.
Very local news: The most famous and recently awarded restaurant in my tiny little part of SE Croatia updated its menu and among all their aged steaks and bone-brothy soups they now offer completely vegan barbecue and I'm sure they put as much effort into those few dishes as in all the others. I live in meatland so that is great!
Lovely video
awesome news, yay!
FIRST HIIIII HAPPY HOLIDAYS SLAYZE!!!!
SLAYZE i love that lmao
About the bullfighting, my Spanish mother thinks it's horrendous and so does her family. That being said, she isn't a Vegan, but she's told me she's going to try moving towards a Vegan lifestyle this year.
We got the Omni products quite early in Australia, surprisingly, but they musn't have done well because it's not sold here anymore (very typical) 😭 I loved the Omnipork luncheon.
Yay!
Petco being concerned about dog food being vegan is wild for me. The more they should be concerned about is these "grain-free" products, which is an overwhelming section of their dog food section and already has a connection with dilated cardiomyopathy due to taurine deficiencies, the overwhelming amount of legumes, and the lack of several essential vitamins or poor absorption. Besides that, I'm dying to try clean meat. I've been wanting to try it since it was announced in the mid-2010s.
If the legumes in grain free food are causing the dcm, wouldn’t the plant based dog food have the same issue? From what I’ve seen the protein is entirely from legumes
the hospital food thing stands out as really great to me, and it makes sense that it worked out well in New York (as opposed to somewhere like where I live) because I guess a higher percentage of those patients wouldn't eat a lot of meat anyway due to religious reasons. easier to give out tasty veggie meals that suit a number of different kinds of dietary restrictions than to bring the patients bacon and eggs then have to return to the kitchen to whip up something else. and that would prompt them to come up with more vegan options that are more nutritionally balanced. then the patients who normally eat meat probably figure it's hospital food so it's going to taste funny anyway.
one time I got locked up in the looney bin against my will in Madison TN, and despite that place being one of the worsts, the kitchen did really try to accommodate me. they were great. not that the food was incredible, but they made sure I didn't go hungry, though I sure was on arrival. they gave me 2 loaded pb&j sandwiches and huge iceberg salad with 2 tomato and 2 cucumber slices. breakfast was toast, fried potatoes, and chili beans, then one time for lunch they gave me a veggie burger and a heaping plate of spaghetti with marinara and carrots on the side.
I just want to say THANK YOU for making this video. Over here in england my hubby and I have been feeling pretty knocked down recently about how it seems veganism is disappearing and its a losing battle etc. It's not though and your video made me see it.
Im wondering if you could make this like a quarterly thing?
Also, with no "vegan 2023" out (so far) im sure lots of people have come here instead
England is going through a hard time right now. People remember that they want to be vegan ❤
yay
Thanks Unnatural Vegan for debunking the prejudice of AntiCapitalism!
I think potato milk would be great for savory dishes, like soups and cream sauces for pasta.
So wonderful! Along with Disney, Universal has a good variety of vegan foods to eat.
Beyond steak in the UK is what I really need for Christmas
In Poland meat consumption declines year by year ;)
Hey if you didn't buy any of the vegan EFT when S. mentioned it last year, it's really dropped in price so now is a good time to buy!
Disclaimer: I bought high.. 😂
The stock market is gambling and ultra rich people invest instead in funds that we aren't allowed access
i tried the taco bell vegan nacho cheese and it was really good!! not trying as hard to imitate the cheese flavor that ends up tasting like socks. I really liked it but yeah it went away so fast
Wow, 50% less fur in two years 🎉🎉
'I thought this was a shoe' 😂😂😂 i cant
🌱
The best vegan news would be Unnatural Vegan marrying me...I know, I know she's got a partner but a man can dream.
omg the default option is huge.
In reference to the chocolate that you showed: Do you think, fairtrade is important or not?
I have to admit, in switzerland, I'm so lucky when it comes to chocolate, so much choice and it's really easy to just buy fairtrade. But it's still a choice that has to be made at some point. So, if you think fairtrade is important, I want to encourage you to make more deliberate choices for it (of cousre not only fairtrade, fairafric or gepa are also good or maybe even better labels imo) and if you don't think that it's important, I'm interested why.
Thx :)
Still hold the most hope for lab grown meats. Never tried it but am anxious to see what it tastes like and what it costs. Tried a bunch of egg/milk substitutes this year and that was a dreadful experience. Nothing came even remotely close for a breakfast alternative. Sticking to eggs and Fairlife (half sugar, 50% more protein) for the time being. I'm pessimistic about good alternatives for them but you never know. Technology marches on.
Just grow up, wean yourself off dairy. Change your tastes. Eggs are one of the most unethical animal products & the difference between a plant based milk and processed dairy almost nothing these days. Try being a little less you centric for 2024.
@@jonahwhale9047 "almost nothing" LOL, you won't change nonvegans by outright lying.
@@gregorygreene1940 Well, personally, I think they taste better (& I grew up in the days when milk was really milk & not some washed out, homogenize product). There is no significant enough difference to warrant you not using one instead. If you think there is, then it just confirms you're a picky, infantile eater &, as I wrote, you need to get over putting you first & think of that it means to the cows & calves instead.
@@jonahwhale9047 Again, if your goal is to change nonvegans better substitutes will be needed. Neither your sanctimonious behavior or ad hominem attacks will work.
@@gregorygreene1940 For a non-vegan to tell a vegan what to do, is like a pedo trying to tell child services how they should be acting. Look at the ethics of Fairlife; an undercover dairy investigation into one of thir farms found employees slapping, kicking, punching, pushing, throwing and slamming calves; calves were stabbed and beaten with steel rebars, hit in the mouth and face with hard plastic milking bottles, kneed in the spine, burned in the face with hot branding irons resulting in extreme pain and suffering by the calves, and in some cases permanent injury and even death. Male calves are transported to veal farms, despite the corporation's claims that it does not.
It's just Coca Cola making profits out of suckers, charging double what real milk costs.
In its case, cow teat suckers. How old do you have to be to wean yourself off their teats?
Vegan food by default in hospitals and the LA Vegan food bank are my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It´s not just food, but it´s still the main use and abuse. No one is buying crocodile boots 3 times a day, many do just that with food items.
I am not a Disney person but I did enjoy getting drunk at Epcot 😂
UA-cam recommended me this
Dude I want Vegan on my food. It makes it so much easier to buy stuff.
I am from Greece and even if a fur ban happens in papers no one will enforce it here or punish us
(Yes i am vegan and i am super sad about this reality of the shitiest country in the world)
Homemade vegetable soup is good for you
Nevermind potato milk coconut milk is the best plant based milk always has been
Still soy for me, I need my protein
I tried the vegan nacho cheese from Taco Bell, it wasn’t great. Want terrible either…..tastes very plastic like 😅 I’m hoping it was just a weird one off thing
You want more people to buy vegan meats and dairy? Make it cheaper then the actual animal meats and dairy competition! It's not hat hard to figure out. Make it look, feel, smell, taste and cook/melt like the real thing and be more affordable than the real thing and you have a winner! It's not rocket science people. 😂
The only real reason most people are not wearing real fur, is due to it's price and the world economy right now and nothing else. 😅
The popularity of fur has gone down since the 80's. Look at any street footage, film and TV shows before 1990, fur was very common to see. These days you hardly ever see woman wear fur...it's basically a taboo now.
@@prettynoose888 true, but price is still an issue for most.
default vegan really should the way things are run. it serves the most number of people.
this is what Buddhist and Sikh Temples do.
it should probably be the case for ALL publicly funded food services.
non-vegan foods should have their subsidies removed and given to vegan foods.
hi swayze, have been watching your videos for years - even your questionable ones - but i must say, your silence on gaza and palestine is deafening, this issue is beyond veganism, true, but it's a human issue it concerns all of us.
There are animals being bombed in Gaza too, but listen to me, she's working right now. Do you expect the cashier in the supermarket to whisper to every customer that Palestinian and Israeli children have equal rights to peace and life? And that killing either doesn't help the other? She's a mom doing a job to pay her bills. Focus on people in power. Focus on people who think everyone who wants to Free Palestine is antisemitic and show them how we just want civilians everywhere to be safe
Sadly I stopped being vegan in 2023. It was super stressful, emotional and extremely difficult for me to do that, since I went vegan after watching Earthlings and stayed vegan for 7 years. I was diagnosed with crohn‘s disease and struggled for 11 months before making the switch after talking to a dietitian and realizing how it was actually impossible for quiet a few people. I was vegan for the animals. 100% but I couldn’t eat beans, lentils (legumes in general and high fiber in general) and had severe cramps, diarrhea, weightloss and felt so weak, I couldn’t walk up the stairs at one point.. it was horrible. Thus I wondered, how fair it is to have such a moralistic attitude about the consumption of animals, since more and more people are developing issues longterm. I also had neurological symptoms that I never connected to my lifestyle, that completely went away after incorporating dairy, eggs, fish, meat.. just eating a mixed diet fixed issues I have had for a long time and it blows my mind. And yes, I supplemented B12, D and Omega 3. And ate a normal vegan diet with fats, protein and carbs. I‘m just leaving this here in case someone is struggling. I care about animals but my health comes first and I feel like there is a lot that the vegan community needs to consider. It’s still weird since it was such a huge part of my life from my childhood into my twenties… but I am still interested in the development and news within the vegan movement and your channel is very inviting for people and their struggles, thus I am grateful ❤ I believe in a perfect world we would all be vegan, but sadly that is not the reality (yet). One day 🙏🏽
Was it a vegan dietitian? Loads of vegan manage Crohn‘s disease just fine.
I saw an article recently equating the decline of mock meat sales to a loss for veganism. Mock meats are as essential to my diet as venison is to the typical, city-dwelling omnivore. How many vegans really rely on these products?
I triggered a totally cellular xenobiotic genebioticchelated dumping of accumunalted fluoride and mercury toxins. I ibtently felt my body cone alive when I sawlowes my first bightbof me in 10 years. I am so sorry to report I sm reluctant carnibour. In everyway I am bow thriving. Apparently I have metabolic dybdromevand any supplinatijn I
was doing to get essential missing nutrients for optimal cell wellness. I also found I was very senestivecand suffweing for oxalates. I cannot ho back to all vegetables. I apparently did a 180 diet changev in the neck of time.
It didn't seem to help your spelling any
More meat for the rest of us thanks!
I know that was just a snarky comment, but having more meat available will either have it go to waste, meaning less will be produced in the future if it continues. Or if you do indeed eat more meat, it will just make you have poor(er) health. And no I am not and will not ever be vegan. But over doing it is not wise either.
I'm not interested in buying real fur because it is produced inhumanely.
I consider myself as committed to a vegan diet as you. However, while I support the idea of informing my fellow man and woman that a plant-filled diet would do them, and the world a lot of good, I refuse to adopt the pomposity of shoving said lifestyle down the maws of other animals. It doesn't matter if a canine COULD lead a vegan lifestyle; for the most part a dog is a carnivore. And what about cats... they definitely need to eat other animals. Or do you believe that it would be a betrayal of PC politics if a vegan or vegetarian adopted a feline?
I don't consider a very committed vegan. It reads like you're still carrying a load of carnist programming to work out. Become more informed. Cats aren't obligate carnivores, they are obligate taurine-ivores, & the irony is, most commercial cat foods, which many only actually have a few % of meat in them, are supplemented with the same tauring used in vegan mixes. Dogs, on the other hand, developed the gene to produce amylase which is used to break down starches & plant foods 10,000s of years ago, as we co-evolved together.
There is real science being done about, loads of case studies including one of the longest lived dogs on the planet, Bramble, a 25 years old - that's double the average life expectancy - border collie. Dogs have omnivores for as long as they walked with us.
Basically, as far as cats & dogs go, we are the same stage human vegans were at in the 1950s and 60s, with all sorts of uninformed naysayers predicting sudden death & arguing the case for magical ingredients that only existing in meat (yes, that really happened).
Ethics aside, e.g. an average dog eats as much as 90kg of meat a year therefore causing as many animal deaths as an additional non-vegan human in your household, the other big argument is, of course, the environmental footprint of them doing so. Cats we should basically just remove from our societies. They're pretty much the most genocidal species after our own causing numerous species extinctions, so the vegan debate there should be what to feed them, but how to remove them.
I have nothing to work out. I began my vegetarian diet over 30 years ago. I became a vegan over 5 years ago. Whether or not dogs could adopt a plant-based diet is irrelevant; they are another species and human beings have no moral right to inflict their political ideologies on them or cats or whales or dolphins or on any other species. And who the hell are you to try to remove domesticated cats from being considered as animal companions. I had a cat for over 18 years (and I didn't get her as a kitten) and I will never forget her. Come down off your high friggin' horse.@@jonahwhale9047
Yeah the good news is that i know that plant-based foods are poison, and my health is back after i cut out all plants. Be vegan if you wan t, good luck with that😂😂😂😂
🙄
Public health in every single country, including the ones where the government pay for healthcare and are financially motivated to keep people healthy, recommend eating more fruit and veg.
All medical science, dietetics, all very clear. There is no "big vegetable" industry spreading misinfo. You don't have to be vegan, but eat plants, your body needs them. There might be some you personally can't eat, so reintroduce them one at a time to figure out your sensititivies.
You don't have to give up meat, I don't care, giving up veg will cut years off your life, my agenda is that.
i see you re gut has not been destroyed by plants mine is. No one is going to tell me plants are healthy when they make you sick. It s most of them my gut doesn t like not a few and there are millions of other people with the same problem. I listen to my body not some BS science.@@therabbithat
