When I saw your thumbnail with 'Vegans are slowly killing themselves,' I thought: Everyone is slowly killing themselves. We all live in imperfect environments with pollution, contaminated waterways, etc. that are killing us. Even vegan diets are not perfect as organic foods are contaminated with some pesticides etc. In our world there's no real way to avoid these things. Do consumers of animal products think they will never die?
Classic case of this quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."- Upton Sinclair.
Well, my father has two farms where he has cattle and I used to depend on it, when I was 13 years old I had an epiphany and realized I had to go vegan for ethics, these cows were my friends, and they took them to slaughter. I was really sad. Mostly because one day my father shot in the head a cow that kicked me while he was trying to put a hot steaming metal thing on her skin, it's called to shoe a cow. She kicked me and I almost die but instead of hating the cow I understood what she had to say, she didn't want to be there suffering, it felt like with that kick she spoke to me. It's crazy how I instead of being hateful, like my father was, I was empathetic with her. Brings me to tears because then my dad shot at her in the head and he made me eat her cheeks. But now I understand this life is a big process that I don't fully comprehend. God works in mysterious ways. Thanks

💖Vegan ❤🎉Happy because I'm not adding to the misery caused by the Dairy and Meat industries. Btw, I'm very healthy too💪🎉 Be their voice, they suffer so much cruelty, all hidden from the public eye.💔
It never ceases to amaze me when some people think vegans only eat highly processed meat alternatives, burgers, hot dogs and fries. I'm sure some do, but these foods are not required to be vegan. Also, it's incredibly disingenuous to compare minimally processed meat to highly processed foods of any kind; compare apples and apples. And finally, if we're comparing burgers for example, Impossible burgers are not the only plant-based option. There are thousands of plant-based burger patty options and recipes, from highly processed to whole food/homemade. If someone cares about health (as these people pretend to), then they can be whole-foods plant-based. The truth though is that they don't care about health at all, they just think that if 1 vegan product is unhealthy then veganism is not a realistic option for anyone.
Exactly. The plant-based burgers I eat are always made out of things like beans and potatoes. Completely healthy. To use "Impossible Burgers tho" to shore up your carnism is ludicrous.
So true...I think that alot of vegans might start on processed versions then move on to healthier wholefoods when they get the hang of it! Personally I eat mostly wholefoods and use the processed stuff as a rare treat.
you are just trying to imitate REAL beef burgers, which is really sad. Not to mention you are slowly deteriorating by "protecting animals" with some plant that never existed decades ago
His "Torygraph" articles are buried behind paywalls … what a [expletive deleted] surprise! Probably aimed at Reform voters who, momentarily, aren't eating ENOUGH crayons. 🙄
I wish people could understand that MEAT ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT (NECESSARILY) SUPPOSED TO BE HEALTHY. They're SUPPOSED TO SAVE ANIMALS. On the other hand, I always think stuff like this is positive, because it means the anag industry is feeling the pinch. Great work Ed!
Who the hell is eating that much of These products anyway? I eat maybe 50g of vegan cheese and maybe 150-200g meat alternative products a week. Back when I was still consuming animal products I would easssssily eat that much cheese and meat each day plus most days I had eggs too, and I think I was pretty typical.
Especially important to note that the MEAT these alternatives are BASED ON are unhealthy - Red meat is so unhealthy that processed plant-based beef still ends up relatively healthy in comparison.
That won't work. You have to see it from the perspective of a meat consumer. THEY, DON'T, CARE about other sentient beings, only what's beneficial to themselves. So, why would they care about saving animals? They really don't care. Just look at how all over vegan comments sections how many of them just troll and even mock the suffering of poor animals. And as long as they are convinced by these RIGGED, deceptive studies that meat alternatives aren't even better than actual meat, WHY then would they even want to buy those products (mockmeats) in the first place or ever go vegan? They want something that tastes and imitates meat as much as possible (such as Beyond Meat), but as long as they are believing the propaganda and disinfo that they are somehow WORSE than meat is (which they are absolutely NOT), they will reject any vegan diet. There is NO, WAY, that actual meat is healthier than any plant based alternative. Real meat is the only one that will always have cholesterol, high animal saturated fats, their trans fats, mammalian estrogens and animal heme iron - ALL proven to lead to all our major diseases. But these things are ignored when these biased studies show up that only attack one side and no one calls out their fraudulence. We need a video actually analyzing that study to expose all its deceptiveness and obvious bias, not back into a corner and allow them to take down plant based meats from the market. Those products are the only thing that give meat consumers a reason to try meat alternatives, as they are better for the environment, far HEALTHIER and without the great risks of major diseases, and obviously these alternatives save animals. That study wasn't even focused on plant based meats, only junkfoods like potato chips, cookies and cake!
I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
Why cut out salt and oil? Salt and olive oil are very healthy, you need salt to function properly. Seems like all those things were self induced with your poor choices.
@@saszablaze1 who's talking about a diet? I'm talking about health. A diet implies losing weight and that's not what this is about. Veganism is about stopping the exploitation and cruelty to animals. Eating plant-based food is the option that would not only be a win for the animals it would also be a win for our environment for future generations and our own health.
Your exasperation is at least cathartic given how much I can relate. It's exhausting living in a world of willful ignorance. Thank you for doing what you do and dispelling this utter nonsense.
I'm the healthiest I've ever been as a vegan. Chest pains gone. Mood is amazing. Smashing all my records lifting weights. I can't imagine not being on this side of this issue
@@Lyaganinot true for me, seven years vegan and comparatively healthier than my non-vegan friends. I'm performing better than I ever have in terms of health, strength and energy.
@@Lyagani yes, I've had an iron issue since birth so I always get yearly tests, they've been spot on every year except for 2020 when my vitamin D was just below normal. Living in a dark rainy country and being locked down will do that to you. An interesting note: my doctor actually made a point to tell me that my testosterone levels were excellent, completely unprompted. I know this is an issue for some people. A healthy plant based diet isn't a panacea, but it could save a lot of people, including a couple of my family members who died of absolutely avoidable causes.
@Lyagani I am 66, woman, vegetarian first, vegan now, for over 40 years. I am stronger than men who are 20 years younger than me. My blood tests are constantly excellent. Even carnivore doctors tell me to keep doing wathever I do.
You keep doing it ed, you keep talking sense and are somehow able to make sense of madness, I take my hat off to you sir. But I guess thats one of the reasons we're vegan hey
I know! Isn’t it awful? The only options they had for my mother were peas and boiled carrots. And apple sauce. Pathetic! Thank goodness she had me to go out and get her actual food!
@@tom4412 Are vegans the only ones who eat plants? I expect hospitals to serve only healthful options. And plants are the most healthful of foods. And sadly, hospital foods are often embarrassingly unhealthy.
@@arambarsamian6312 Hospitals have McDonald's and Burger Kings inside their hospitals now. Years ago that was unheard of. Family members and patients can buy that crap and bring it to their rooms to eat now.
I am 66, healthy, excellent tests results vegan. I don't admit to doctors if I see them, that I am vegan. I am tired of hearing what I should eat, even with my excellent, young person's like results. Once they hear the words vegan, their hackles go up. So I don't reveal it.
Same, I don't tell doctors I'm vegan. I'm never going to eat animal products again regardless of what they say, so why tell them? Blood tests perfect after 12 years vegan by the way ....
Wow. More people need to know about this blatant propaganda. Shamefully, many know but like blind faith, are only looking for affirmation of their carnist practices.

@@zed5129 Yeah, they wouldn't exist and therefore wouldn't experience all the cruel conditions and treatment from the animal agriculture industry. I don't want any animals to be born into the animal agriculture industry for similar reasons why I wouldn't want child abusers to have children.

My blood pressure and cholesterol levels are near perfect. Only exercise I do is my bar job and skating once or twice a week. Even super shitty vegan diets are still great for your heart and weight loss this shit is complete bunk
Problem is, if you need a 20 minute, annoying video to debunk something, and ultimately persuade people to completely change their diet, then you're already fighting an uphill battle. Just enjoy being a vegan, and leave everyone else alone. Demand for meat has never been higher, and that's not changing any day soon
@eklein89 scientists have differing views from each other, this is normal and always has been. To be a scientist you have to be open minded, and not so arrogant as to presume that others' opinions don't matter, since you are right, and your opinion is 'the truth'. Science evolves over time, so calling your chosen sources 'the truth' is just childish and shows a lack of understanding of science in general

THNK YOU - - - > You can still eat really satisfylingly, I recently had lions mane mushrrom steaks with vegan gravy and it knocked my socks off. PLUS Vegan cooking is amazingly fun, the aromatic aromas and scents are lovely.
Unhealthy plant-based alternatives argument is embarrassingly flimsy. I've been confronted about it a couple times and my answer is always the same: I eat ultraprocessed plant-based alternatives less frequently than I ate their animal based counterparts before I was vegan. I eat less junk in general on top of not taking in ldl, carcinogens and lactose from animals. The funny things is, on the flip side, when I go out to restaurants with a group, someone always suggests that I might order a salad from a place that doesn't cater to vegans. So we have people thinking we're going to have a heart attack from shoveling beyond burgers down our throats and people thinking that we'd consider a bowl of iceberg lettuce a meal. I'm visibly in better shape than all if these people and am more educated on nutrition, but they think they know better because they follow conventions.
Ofc God didn't make processed vegan food, people did :) God made chickens and fish though, neither of which seem especially intelligent to me, so I'm cool with eating them.
Shame about all the extra insect deaths you contribute to. I can never understand why vegans consider insects so worthless. Personally I find insects fascinating and do everything I can to protect them.
@@tom4412 we do not concider insects worthless , i assume you're talking about crop deaths and insectacides. These deaths are unadvoidable, whereas sacrificing animals for gustatory indulgence is intentional and here is the difference.
Insect deaths from use of pesticides, insecticides can be reduced if simply less crops were grown. Grass pastures don’t need pesticides, insecticides, herbicide and fungicides in order for grass to grow. So the insects living there don’t get disturbed. If only more people realised the benefit of pasture raised cattle and sheep. Yes a few cows and sheep are slaughtered, but millions of insects get to live.
KINGGGG!! Always got the fire to throw back. love you Ed keep on doing this you have inspired me and others to do more activism and say more, do more, post more. There is change happening and the products that keep coming to market along with us exposing on social medias will keep creating curiosity and change in people. Apparently only takes 3.5 percent to make a movement inevitable. ❤🔥
Let's be honest, a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I don't want to paint the devil on the wall, but when I see how farm animals are treated today and what ailments the animal suffers as a result, I can't imagine that the meat and milk are really free of viruses and bacteria. Maybe that is also the reason for my problem. I can't eat this anymore! and the industry scares people so that they don't stop buying their products
I can immediately see the issues with articles and studies like these. The problem i have is that people i know who are well educated and intelligent will make similar arguments to me. And they will go looking for some study based on the conclusion without questioning the methodologies. It is like they have to justify their own diet.
Sometimes you eat something because it’s tasty and you just feel like it, not because it’s „healthy”. People writing such „articles” always assume that the consumers are idiots.
I went vegetarian about the same time you became vegan (but now vegan for the past ten years). I said the same thing, maybe in another 48 years this diet may catch up with me.
I think a lot of people struggle to realise that going vegan is not just changing ur diet but relearning nutrition and the nutrition you’ve been taught as a kid and thats why a lot of people go straight for processed vegan food or give up veganism quickly bc they don’t do or understand that it requires a lot of research to do it right and see the benefits of being vegan
Yup. My first try at giving up meat ended up with me feeling miserable and sleepy all the time so it's probably not something anyone should be doing cold turkey. But I learned my lessons, did some research and now I feel great. I gave up meat a while ago, then last year I finally went full vegan. Now I'm motivated to make even more positive changes this year. I quit smoking, I signed up to a gym, and started working on my own comicbook. Best year of my life so far, I kid you not :D
@@martialartsnerd7673 I'm rooting for you, coz I remember that very well. I suggest you dive deep into UA-cam vegan channels, there're some that even focus on a budget eating if that's a problem (unfortunately, the one I follow is in Polish so not gonna recommend). Anyways, fun thing about looking for alternative eating is that you DISCOVER a lot and LEARN a lot about food. So without even noticing when it happend I realized I can always prepare something good with leftovers in the fridge. And I hope it goes well for you, I'm pretty sure you'll have it easier than all the vegans that came before you :)
I wish you had been around about 50 years ago then I would not have had the health problems I have experienced in my twilight years. However 5 years ago I did start seeing this type of video and since then I have been plant based. Keep up the good work hopefully the next generation will not be so ignorant.
I have been eating a whole food plant based diet for 10 years and I couldn’t care less about all the noise that’s made by any group whether it’s carnivore keto vegan etc. it’s just noise.

I have argued for a redefinition of scientific literacy, and this is an example of why. We're talking about a socio-scientific issue coming from people believing they are smart enough to interpret any study on their own and come to conclusions that differ from the experts. I believe intellectual humility and multidimensional understanding beyond your own view should be more important for being scientifically literate than just understanding how research takes place//the scientific method
Consuming any animal products was hurting my heart in an emotional sense once I learnt about the extent of suffering going on in eggs and dairy industries too, cognitive dissonance causes stress and tension too.😢
Ed, it’s so scary when the facts are turned upside down. Guys, I’m currently reading ‘Not the End of the World’ by Hannah Ritchie and there are so many interesting facts about the effects of animal farming on our favorite planet🌏 . The book gives a highly compelling argument and the facts no one can deny. Wonder, what are your thoughts?
To be honest, i'm not a big fan of any of the processed vegan meat. I can have an occasional beyond burger or gardein, But I much prefer to use lentils and mushrooms. I also like to make walnut burgers from scratch. They are delicious.
When I was in hospital with appendicitis, the wards were chock full of vegans. You couldn't move for blokes with long hair, or tie dye T-shirts! Jokes.. they served bacon buttys for breakfast, butter pies for dinner, creamy chicken curry for tea.. then wonder why everyone is sick.. I was the only one in the ward that wasn't obese, never mind a healthy weight.
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat". Genesis 1:29
Hi Hugo, as a Christian vegan I prefer to describe my diet as a “Genesis 1” diet to fellow Christians, rather than vegan 😂. Not only that but how many Christians justify their meat eating on the basis of the word “dominion” in the preceding verse!?!
@@philiptaylor7902 Very true. We all try to justify our sinful behaviors. We all have a choice to make. God bless you. Praise Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!
Beyond has the seal of approval from the AHA for 3 products. The burger, sausage and steak. Even the ADA approves some of these newly formulated meat alternatives. Obviously, unprocessed plant foods are best, but the alternative meats are improving.
The study seems intentionally deceptive so that those claims can be made. Most people will never even read more than the headline and almost none will look into whether the claims in an article are true especially if it conforms to their bias. The damage is done and the study probably did what the designers set out to do.
Nah, the study designers and researchers are actively out there trying to fight fires, responding to and dismissing the nonsense misrepresentation from the media coverage. The study is perfectly fine, and worded clearly and objectively. But even the most transparently clear study can be lied about by unscrupulous scumbags.
22 sets of twins tried both vegan and meat diets. Researchers at Stanford University studied the twins' cardiovascular health. After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings. "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote. The study was published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Pescatarianism was established pretty early - microbes eating microbes, fish eating fish, long before mammals existed. Arguably eating plankton was first I guess, but not by much.
According to the computer models, a 20-year-old who went all in on the plant-based diet could add 10 years to their life. An 80-year-old who started a plant-based diet could add three years to their life expectancy, according to the study, published in February 2022 in PLOS Medicine.
I don't want to remember what it taste like to eat a chicken, cow, pig etc......that is why I am not into the fake stuff. I eat clean. Real veggies and fruits. I have been a Vegan for over 20 years now and it is also the best thing that ever happened to my food bill. Eating Vegan....as raw as possible has allowed me to avoid any medications at all at my age of 71. But even if I were told that being Vegan would shorten my life span....let's say 10 years or more....I would still be Vegan because it is the right thing to do. The Meek (those who do no harm) will be the ones who inherit the New Earth. This last train only carries those who are pure in heart.
That's exactly why I think those highly processed products are best enjoyed by carnists and new vegans. Once you've been at it a while, your craving for the taste of muscle and blood and the feel of sinews goes away. You also start to break taste associations and realise that some of the tastes you crave have nothing to do with animal products at all, and are actually natural flavours of spices that we have been told are the taste of bbq meat etc (eg, when I first went vegetarian, before I was vegan, I thought I was craving hotdogs, but I was actually craving the smoky taste they apply to hotdogs. So there's actually zero need for hotdogs).
Not vegan here, but I regularly cook and eat vegan for my girlfriend. And it's NEVER unhealthy. I separate legumes into their proteins, starch, and fibres to use those, along with fresh fruits, mushrooms, and vegetables as ingredients for various patties, orbs, sausages etc. Technically high processed, but my meals have nothing to do with the industrial crap that's ridded of vitamins and trace elements and loaded with salt, sugars, and fats. Vegan meals are amazing when done right. Or just as bad as other industrial garbage when left to the British food industry.
And you didn't even mention that by concluding "veganism is not healthy", he firstly not only refines veganism to a diet but secondly refines veagnism to only eating processed plant based alternatives!
Hasn’t it been confirmed that products like impossible products are detrimental to your health? Just look at the long list of ultra processed ingredients in a product like that. Are all meat substitutes the same? Probably not. Some companies try to use better ingredients, but most of them still have unhealthy oils and protein sources. I think we can all agree that plant based Whole Foods is the way to go with minimal processed foods like tofu, Tempe, bean pastas, etc.
For those who have read Ed's books and are looking for some related books that can be attributed to this topic I recommend Bad Science and It’s a Bit More Complicated Than That by Ben Goldacre. I get frustrated when I hear people talk about UPFS where they don't take into account that over half their diet consists of it.
Which one is it? Nobody is eating vegan alternatives or so many people are eating vegan alternatives that it's a danger for NHS? Thank you Ed for pointing out the inconsistency of their articles!

I stopped eating commercial vegan burgers awhile back because many aren't that healthy (I live in the U.S.) with too much salt & veggies which aren't even organic. Instead I make my own using organic black beans, veg & a little EVOO & they're tastier, healthier & freeze well. I do like vegan tenders now & then but I've definitely moved towards making nearly all my own dishes so I can control (and know) what's inside. The scaremongers over here are also hilarious; does anyone buy claims that bacon is GOOD for you? 😆
@@GarudaLegends I have a gut feeling you didn't watch the video or do any research on this topic. You are likely the exact same sort of ignorant person that this video is addressing.. maybe watch it again
Misrepresenting articles like that is incredibly unethical. However, considering he’s a dairy farmer, I guess it’s not the most unethical thing he does.
Someone should ask him what he does to the bobby calves and dry in-calf (pregnant) dairy cows he inevitably has. As I'm betting he sends them to slaughter.

@@johnnyveganite9141what like beyond meat burgers
and climate change and immigration and protection of rich people paying tax and....
Probably because veganism is taking off so much in the UK. It's getting harder to ignore.
It never ceases to amaze me when some people think vegans only eat highly processed meat alternatives, burgers, hot dogs and fries. I'm sure some do, but these foods are not required to be vegan. Also, it's incredibly disingenuous to compare minimally processed meat to highly processed foods of any kind; compare apples and apples. And finally, if we're comparing burgers for example, Impossible burgers are not the only plant-based option. There are thousands of plant-based burger patty options and recipes, from highly processed to whole food/homemade.
If someone cares about health (as these people pretend to), then they can be whole-foods plant-based. The truth though is that they don't care about health at all, they just think that if 1 vegan product is unhealthy then veganism is not a realistic option for anyone.
Exactly. The plant-based burgers I eat are always made out of things like beans and potatoes. Completely healthy. To use "Impossible Burgers tho" to shore up your carnism is ludicrous.
Ja well no fine! What’s your story? Gibberish
These are the same people who believe veganism is unaffordable because they think we eat faux meats and cheese at every meal.
So true...I think that alot of vegans might start on processed versions then move on to healthier wholefoods when they get the hang of it!
Personally I eat mostly wholefoods and use the processed stuff as a rare treat.
you are just trying to imitate REAL beef burgers, which is really sad. Not to mention you are slowly deteriorating by "protecting animals" with some plant that never existed decades ago

I wish people could understand that MEAT ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT (NECESSARILY) SUPPOSED TO BE HEALTHY. They're SUPPOSED TO SAVE ANIMALS. On the other hand, I always think stuff like this is positive, because it means the anag industry is feeling the pinch. Great work Ed!
Who the hell is eating that much of These products anyway? I eat maybe 50g of vegan cheese and maybe 150-200g meat alternative products a week. Back when I was still consuming animal products I would easssssily eat that much cheese and meat each day plus most days I had eggs too, and I think I was pretty typical.
@@BigBlueMan118my fat ass is poisoning itself with the Impossible whopper... sorry
I agree
Especially important to note that the MEAT these alternatives are BASED ON are unhealthy - Red meat is so unhealthy that processed plant-based beef still ends up relatively healthy in comparison.
That won't work. You have to see it from the perspective of a meat consumer. THEY, DON'T, CARE about other sentient beings, only what's beneficial to themselves. So, why would they care about saving animals? They really don't care. Just look at how all over vegan comments sections how many of them just troll and even mock the suffering of poor animals. And as long as they are convinced by these RIGGED, deceptive studies that meat alternatives aren't even better than actual meat, WHY then would they even want to buy those products (mockmeats) in the first place or ever go vegan? They want something that tastes and imitates meat as much as possible (such as Beyond Meat), but as long as they are believing the propaganda and disinfo that they are somehow WORSE than meat is (which they are absolutely NOT), they will reject any vegan diet. There is NO, WAY, that actual meat is healthier than any plant based alternative. Real meat is the only one that will always have cholesterol, high animal saturated fats, their trans fats, mammalian estrogens and animal heme iron - ALL proven to lead to all our major diseases. But these things are ignored when these biased studies show up that only attack one side and no one calls out their fraudulence. We need a video actually analyzing that study to expose all its deceptiveness and obvious bias, not back into a corner and allow them to take down plant based meats from the market. Those products are the only thing that give meat consumers a reason to try meat alternatives, as they are better for the environment, far HEALTHIER and without the great risks of major diseases, and obviously these alternatives save animals.
That study wasn't even focused on plant based meats, only junkfoods like potato chips, cookies and cake!
I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.

Unhealthy plant-based alternatives argument is embarrassingly flimsy. I've been confronted about it a couple times and my answer is always the same: I eat ultraprocessed plant-based alternatives less frequently than I ate their animal based counterparts before I was vegan. I eat less junk in general on top of not taking in ldl, carcinogens and lactose from animals.
The funny things is, on the flip side, when I go out to restaurants with a group, someone always suggests that I might order a salad from a place that doesn't cater to vegans. So we have people thinking we're going to have a heart attack from shoveling beyond burgers down our throats and people thinking that we'd consider a bowl of iceberg lettuce a meal. I'm visibly in better shape than all if these people and am more educated on nutrition, but they think they know better because they follow conventions.

Grass pastures don’t need pesticides, insecticides, herbicide and fungicides in order for grass to grow. So the insects living there don’t get disturbed. If only more people realised the benefit of pasture raised cattle and sheep.

Let's be honest, a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I don't want to paint the devil on the wall, but when I see how farm animals are treated today and what ailments the animal suffers as a result, I can't imagine that the meat and milk are really free of viruses and bacteria. Maybe that is also the reason for my problem. I can't eat this anymore! and the industry scares people so that they don't stop buying their products
I agree 100% Not being from the UK, I have no idea who this Jamie guy is.
I can immediately see the issues with articles and studies like these. The problem i have is that people i know who are well educated and intelligent will make similar arguments to me. And they will go looking for some study based on the conclusion without questioning the methodologies. It is like they have to justify their own diet.
Sometimes you eat something because it’s tasty and you just feel like it, not because it’s „healthy”. People writing such „articles” always assume that the consumers are idiots.
Must be killing me really slowly. I am 73 and have been vegan since I was 25. I'm in great health.
Veganism wasn’t even invented 48 years ago
I went vegetarian about the same time you became vegan (but now vegan for the past ten years). I said the same thing, maybe in another 48 years this diet may catch up with me.
I think a lot of people struggle to realise that going vegan is not just changing ur diet but relearning nutrition and the nutrition you’ve been taught as a kid and thats why a lot of people go straight for processed vegan food or give up veganism quickly bc they don’t do or understand that it requires a lot of research to do it right and see the benefits of being vegan
Yup. My first try at giving up meat ended up with me feeling miserable and sleepy all the time so it's probably not something anyone should be doing cold turkey. But I learned my lessons, did some research and now I feel great. I gave up meat a while ago, then last year I finally went full vegan. Now I'm motivated to make even more positive changes this year. I quit smoking, I signed up to a gym, and started working on my own comicbook. Best year of my life so far, I kid you not :D
But there are many resources out there who help us with that.

I suggest you dive deep into UA-cam vegan channels, there're some that even focus on a budget eating if that's a problem (unfortunately, the one I follow is in Polish so not gonna recommend). Anyways, fun thing about looking for alternative eating is that you DISCOVER a lot and LEARN a lot about food. So without even noticing when it happend I realized I can always prepare something good with leftovers in the fridge.
And I hope it goes well for you, I'm pretty sure you'll have it easier than all the vegans that came before you :)

I don't want to remember what it taste like to eat a chicken, cow, pig etc......that is why I am not into the fake stuff. I eat clean. Real veggies and fruits. I have been a Vegan for over 20 years now and it is also the best thing that ever happened to my food bill. Eating Vegan....as raw as possible has allowed me to avoid any medications at all at my age of 71.

The Meek (those who do no harm) will be the ones who inherit the New Earth. This last train only carries those who are pure in heart.
That's exactly why I think those highly processed products are best enjoyed by carnists and new vegans. Once you've been at it a while, your craving for the taste of muscle and blood and the feel of sinews goes away. You also start to break taste associations and realise that some of the tastes you crave have nothing to do with animal products at all, and are actually natural flavours of spices that we have been told are the taste of bbq meat etc (eg, when I first went vegetarian, before I was vegan, I thought I was craving hotdogs, but I was actually craving the smoky taste they apply to hotdogs. So there's actually zero need for hotdogs).
Not vegan here, but I regularly cook and eat vegan for my girlfriend. And it's NEVER unhealthy. I separate legumes into their proteins, starch, and fibres to use those, along with fresh fruits, mushrooms, and vegetables as ingredients for various patties, orbs, sausages etc. Technically high processed, but my meals have nothing to do with the industrial crap that's ridded of vitamins and trace elements and loaded with salt, sugars, and fats. Vegan meals are amazing when done right. Or just as bad as other industrial garbage when left to the British food industry.

Instead I make my own using organic black beans, veg & a little EVOO & they're tastier, healthier & freeze well. I do like vegan tenders now & then but I've definitely moved towards making nearly all my own dishes so I can control (and know) what's inside. The scaremongers over here are also hilarious; does anyone buy claims that bacon is GOOD for you? 😆

Veganism is THE HEALTHIEST WAY TO LIVE. GO VEGAN!
Yessirrrr. I love the feeling of being healthy and not having rotting flesh in my gut. Taste isn't everything!
It is not. Meat eaters live longer and have the best life expectancy. Even vegetarians are healthier than vegans.
@@Seltkirk-ABC Even if taste was everything, Vegans have plenty tasty food
@@GarudaLegends I have a gut feeling you didn't watch the video or do any research on this topic. You are likely the exact same sort of ignorant person that this video is addressing.. maybe watch it again

Misrepresenting articles like that is incredibly unethical. However, considering he’s a dairy farmer, I guess it’s not the most unethical thing he does.
Someone should ask him what he does to the bobby calves and dry in-calf (pregnant) dairy cows he inevitably has. As I'm betting he sends them to slaughter.
