      this really makes me upset b/c i went pescatarian and then vegan over the last year. I had my blood work done 2 weeks ago and i was Vitamin D deficient. Not only was I deficient and having severe pain in my body - I am protein deficient. I almost fell over with upset and confusion.

      Vitamin D does not come from food, it comes from the sun. You need to spend 15-20 minutes per day outside with your skin exposed to the strongest sun available. In the winter, depending where you are, the sun may not be strong enough to help your body make sufficient Vitamin D, and you may need to take supplements to avoid seasonal deficiency. Any Vitamin D in food, like in milk, is added there through processing. You can take a better form directly, bought from the pharmacy aisle at your health food store.
      Also, look into what testing was done to determine protein deficiency, and how it measures deficiency. Are you suffering actual health issues from this alleged deficiency? If so, are you eating enough leafy greens, legumes, and whole grains? It is possible to eat an unhealthy vegan diet. You want to go heavy on fresh vegetables and light on processed foods.
      Yes, leafy greens have a high level of protein by percentage. You can take vegan protein supplements, but they're mainly processed legumes. You might as well eat a variety of legumes.

      I spend a lot of time in the sun especially in summer months. I have been in severe pain for 6-8 months now and am on a high does of vitamin D to supplement and gain my health back. Most of the foods we eat do not have Vitamin D3 fortified but Dairy and other items are fortified. Neither explain my protein deficiency though; which i have according to my bw results. =(

    I'm only 15 but I've been vegan for almost a year and I'm so glad I did, I was obese and lived constant anxiety and was crying every night, I am now a healthy weight, I'm more confident than I've ever been, I feel excited to cook healthy meals for myself and others, my parents love the things I cook and my dad is trying to at least become vegetarian because he believes he can because I've shown him how bad meat really is.

    • @tyk.3583
      @tyk.3583 6 років тому +11

      Burner Fire Not really. You didn't state how eating raw liver made you feel, you just stated that you eat it, I'd made no mentions of specific foods I eat just how veganism made me feel. Your comment came off as random or irrelevant but that's my opinion.

    • @tyk.3583
      @tyk.3583 6 років тому +7

      Burner Fire Or more likely is that your communication needs work. You made a short statement, you did not compare your experience to mine. Had you said "I'm healthy and I eat raw liver." And I thought you were being irrelevant, I'd be wrong as I was writing a fair amount about my health in relation to my diet, like the revised version of your statement did. Because you said nothing of your health or happiness, it would not have been poor reading comprehension for someone to assume anything about either trust me I got graded down for doing something similar on a paper in 2nd grade :'(

      ​@The V word
      First of all, do you believe that all that verbal slander will make a single vegan change their mind and start believing what you say?
      In general, if your facts would be correct, how did all vegans survive more than a few years? Why do they less often suffer from common health issues (cancer, diabetes, heart diseases etc.)?
      1. If you eat enough grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and/or beans, this is not an issue.
      2. According to current research, the only critical issue is B12, which can supplemented easily. Why do you think that we cannot get enough fat from plants? What about seeds and nuts which grow here in Europe?
      3. This really depends on what you eat. Even several omnivores lack these two minerals. My wife's blood iron is much higher since she became vegan. I don't know about mine at the moment, but I don't have any symptoms.
      4. I get almost enough tryptophan through my breakfast alone. Insulin resistance is less common in a vegan diet compared to others: veganhealth.org/pcrm-study-on-insulin-and-vegan-diets/
      5. I don't get your point here. Why do you think that vegans are eating more processed foods? All diary products and all sausages, burgers etc. are "processed food", too. Most animals, fruits and vegetables we eat today were not "native" at some point in time. Does that mean we should no longer eat them?
      6. I totally agree that we should try to eat as much local/season food as possible. Could you give a source that vegans eat more exotic food than omnivores? How about the enormous amount of fodder that is moved around the globe for the animal industry?
      About the killing through harvesters per acre - at the moment, we use way more farm land for animal food than for human food.
      "a diet that contains free-range beef and other carefully chosen meats." - almost all meat/diary our society eats today is not from that category. It would not be possible to do that for the amount of humans living on earth, at least if our meat and diary consumption is not dramatically reduced.
      The rest of your text is just one insult after another so I don't want to read it to the end. If you'd like to reach someone with that, you should consider a more civilized approach.

      Perhaps I'm wrong, and if I am please cite me some sources because my mum's friend has MS and has had it for 35 years.

      Katie, I've been vegan for the last 8 months. I have an autoimmune illness (Lupus & RA); I was severely ill 1-2 years ago; I tried every possible thing I could do to get back to my good health that I always had before the sudden illness. Out of all what I tried, Fasting & Veganism what helped me to get my life back, mainly veganism! I'm 99% symptoms free today with endless energy! It's amazing!
      I also felt the same way as you do during my early transition. Just like you, I also kept watching these documentaries which helped me to stay with the veganism. Now the main thing that helps me is, thinking about all the good I do to the animals, to the environment, and to my health.
      BTW, I was told by someone that most restaurants would be happy to offer a plate of steam vegetables if you request them.

      Tridhos you're better off just eating whole plant foods anyway, no need for those fancy ingredients. Trust me, here in Ukraine we have a much smaller variety than the UK but I'm completely happy with the choice I have! My food is even more varied now than it was when I wasnt vegan. I used to eat the same stuff al the time and now I buy a lot of different sorts of greens, nuts, seeds and legumes I didnt know existed!!! And I eat more fruit that I used to only buy on special occusions like pineapple, avocado etc. I can finally afford it by saving on all those animal products

      Actually veganism isn’t just about what you eat. You can’t call yourself vegan if you still contribue to other forms of animal abuse such as wearing dead animals/buying products that contain or/and are tested on animals etc they aren’t vegan yet, they’re plant based. Don’t confuse the two terms being vegan and being plantbased are two diff things.

      Watch a lion tear a deer to bits, would you blame him or think he should eat greens instead?
      Cows and sheep feed the soil. Machines and chemicals are killing the soil and it's disappearing into the sea at an astounding rate. Soon, in the next fifty years it'll all be gone. What next? What will we eat when there's no insects or soil?
      The chemical are wiping out the bees and the life in the soil now. Half of the bees are now dead in just forty years. What is going to fertilize our food when they're gone? Industry wants the animals gone and this is the result.

I hope continuing this, my blood pressure will go down dramatically so I can get rid of my bp pills .. SO the gist is, I believe in switching to plant based diet 😊..

      CJ Luckey vegans don't eat or use animal products- some clothing has leather, which is not vegan, since it's made from animal hide. Shoes, boots, purses usually have leather... wool, which is sheared sheep fluff, is also technically not vegan since it came from an animal even if the animal may not directly be harmed or killed. Beeswax and honey are also not vegan, but I don't consume them anyways even though I'm only vegetarian bc you gotta protect bees, ya know?? 😛🐝

It has been almost 3 years since I started my vegan lifestyle. Yes, 3 LOVELY YEARS, and I'm still going strong. Little did y'all know, but I love proven others wrong, yet you knew my heart was huge, and once I commit to something/someone I will always keep my promise.

      Watch more documentaries. Read more about veganism. If you do struggle going vegan you need to look at why it's better to be vegan. Instead of having that cheeseburger, or dairy ice cream, remind yourself of what the animals go through so you can just eat that, and remind yourself how damaging it is to the environment and to your body. If I ever struggle I've just got to remind myself that it's not just about my taste buds or cravings it's about the world, the lives of billions of animals (including humans) and my body.

This is a lifestyle, so it’s about changing everything in your life not just how you eat!! Start growing your own food, give back to nature as she gives to us, give your poop and pee back to nature this is how we can grow our food and never be ashamed because you are what you eat 💚💪🏽
    Plant based Lifestyle I will change my children’s life.

    In the process of veganism becoming hip and mainstream especially with celebs promoting it, there will be much more processed vegan food hitting the supermarkets and restaurants. Just remember what made you healthy and made you feel good in the first place and that is implementing RAW foods, uncooked plants. I have to remind myself of this sometimes as well.

      Its a briliant habit to eat as many raw fruits and veg, and some raw versions of certain 'store-bought' foods as one desires, can afford and can find locally.. But please remember that for many, many people first going plant-based/vegan, it will be far easier transitioning if they know they can still enjoy their favorite cooked foods as well - pasta,rices, beans cooked cereals, vegan breads, plus cooked versions of all vegetables. Restricting, or fine-tuning, if you will, one's individual plant-based diets can come later. Just become vegan first.

      I am from the South. Raised on meat. I am now 52, and have found it incredibly easy to get rid of meat. There are so many great products out there now. They are not that expensive either. I've been eating Boca Burgers and Earth Grown chicken patties and tenders. They're pretty good. 4 patties for 2.99 is cheaper than meat. I love my peas and potatoes and all veggies. Also almond milk is good. We eat more veggies now, and i have saved money since veggies are cheaper than meat. We haven't been sick either.

    • @martam.2768
      @martam.2768 7 років тому +11

      Scrappy Velazquez There's no such thing as "humane way to die", it's bullshit because the animals know very well when they are about to die, it's called instincts. And even if, miraculously, you'd manage to kill them without the animals being able to notice (🤔), you'd still be ending a sentient being's life, before its time, without its permission, just so you could eat something you don't need.

    • @NaturallyNature22

      What is a humane way to kill someone who doesn't want to die? We have lots of other nutritious food options, no need to cause violence and death to other beings. Whether we are omnivores or not we can meet all our nutrition needs eating this way and have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many types of cancer. Be vegan

    Great show but a big issue I think needs more attention is Dairy milk in Public Schools, especially High Schools. More then half of it is wasted, my son told me at his high school almost no one drinks it and doesn't even understand why its still served. When I was at my daughters elementary school I noticed the same and cartons were thrown away that weren't even open. They don't even have Juice as an option just Milk or Chocolate milk which is rediculous.

      Cheri H. Yeah of course! My boys are tall but they’re solid and on the 75th percentile so they’re doing great on the diet. Does he like avocado? Because this is just a great food to get healthy fat on him, mash it down like guacamole and once he’s used to that you can cut up greens like lettuce or spinach reaaaally fine and mix in it like a salad. I also make my boys smoothies which is a great way to cram in loads of fruit (and sneaky veg) if you want to add my on IG my name is yasminmccann and I’ll add you back and we can swap tips :)
