You have no idea how many times I have had a nefarious urge to say screw my ethics and come up with some sort of pseudoscience or woo to sell to the woogans. A part of my brain thinks it would be better for the money to come to me instead of the quacks, scammers and snake oil purveyors. I used believe a few new age things, I still have tarot decks maybe I should just set up shop 🤣
I never understood people who said "I ate [non-vegan food] and felt TOTALLY better!" because I have been vegan for 7 years but I've accidentally consumed non-vegan food that contained milk and eggs a lot over the years. It happens, it's life. Never felt suddenly better, never felt like I particularly sick, i'd just go "aw, that sucks" and move on with my life. I don't think think I can ever understand stuff like this.
It depends on why you're feeling unwell. My wife has an inability to process a lot of common plant based foods. She got sick and developed a ton of food intolerances. Tomato,potato, all red spices, gluten, garlic.. the list goes on and on. This severely limits her plant based food options to the point that she cannot avoid malnutrition on a solely vegan diet. It broke her heart but she needed to start eating fish. Her health improved almost immediately.
The only time I noticed a big difference was after struggling with anemia. After 6 months of minimal improvement I reduced my fibre intake and added 2 animal products to my diet daily. But it still took 2 months before I felt that big difference. Once I built up my iron stores back up I was able to maintain more easily with just supplements.
You wouldn't understand, as it has not happened to you. For those of us it DID happen to, the described feeling is very familiar. For me, eating eggs after a long period of veganism gave me a strange feeling I wasn't expecting-- it was a feeling of sharpened senses and a clearing of mental fog to some degree.
@@heidih3048 Oh sure, I understand changing diets and things being more compatible over others, don't get me wrong. I mean the idea of "I suddenly felt better within the first bite of an egg" rather than transitioning your diet
If you really want to eat an egg as a vegan and you’re spiraling about it that much, just eat the egg and move on. People are so all or nothing that they go FULLY back to animal products-it’s absurd to me.
Yes! How do they go from a backyard egg to steak!? It’s mind blowing. Can’t they just eat their own chickens eggs? Seems like it was not really for health- it was cravings or something.
I did that recently this summer. Long story short, Got some back yard eggs... realized that I don't actually enjoy eating eggs. It was a bit like Breaking Amish.
Ikr! A friend adopted some chickens and they're happy, healthy, free-range birds who don't eat their eggs even given the opportunity, so she always has some unfertilized fresh eggs that are humanely acquired. Meanwhile the chickens have a home safe from hawks or foxes, and lots of healthy food, and kids who they welcome home from school, happily running to greet them. Edit: spelling
That's because veganism is all or nothing. You don't go around chanting "meat is murder", then go "yeah, but like, it's cool bro if you want an omelette". I know UnNaturalVegan tries to be nuanced and fair, so she'll say it's fine once in a while, but veganism is inherently all or nothing.
I eat mostly plant based diet, but I do have animal products on occasion (every few months) - and I've got to admit, I have no idea what those people mean by "feeling so different" after they've changed their meals. I mostly feel the same, hardly any difference. Placebo effect is strong with this community.
I don’t know, everyone has different needs, I assume? I love when someone comments on someone else’s experience „NO, THAT’S NOT TRUE, I KNOW FOR SURE, BECAUSE I HAD IT DIFFERENTLY”
No I think she explained why she didn’t feel good with the statement that things really changed after her pregnancy: she had standard mommy fatigue. Processed foods vary in how they effect different people. Each processed food is different from another and sometimes what makes a person feel unwell isn’t the fact that a food is processed but how it’s cooked, both unprocessed and processed food can be deep fried and some people don’t do well with fried food, especially as we age. There’s also the strange effect of people feeling unwell if the over do it on “healthy” whole foods, while fibre is good too much fibre can cause discomfort and even health issues. Not feeling well is ambiguous and could have multiple causes and reality is someone can even feel unwell even if they are eating perfectly balanced because not all things are caused or cured by diet. Aging and having children bring about lots of changes via hormones and life stress.
Also never mind the fact that she always portayed herself having vegan gluten free organic whole food shit for years. It’s hard to believe when she says they used to have a lot of processed foods, but maybe she lied before.
This is exactly it. She makes her income from social media and she’s redefining her influencer identity. She’s now moving to a cold climate and all the rage is homesteading and “ancestral” diets are hot. Vegan isn’t good for her bottom line as it’s not the current trend and won’t look as sellable in her new climate. I don’t trust half of what she says, everyone who is no longer vegan needs a long drawn out video with a million excuses because they feel guilty.
Yeah you can pretty much tell from day one who's just a tourist, they're definitely a "type," all cut from the same cloth (probably wool or leather!🙄💀) Their foray into "veganism" is just a cute story they can tell their kids while they & their normie carnist husband sit around the dinner table feasting on the SAD flesh & secretions of sentient beings. I'd rather be d3d than be one of them.💯
i just have to say, when i first had an egg after being vegan for 5 years, mostly high raw, doing lots of ‘juice feasting’ and enemas and dumb shit, i did feel immediately better 🤣 i would have felt better just eating a vegan curry though. for some reason, in my mind, that wasn’t an option. i was so all or nothing. but i have no idea what this lady was eating and if eggs truly would have had an instant impact on her. i’m back to being plant-based, but honestly thanks to you, re-evaluated my relationship with veganism in a positive way, and realized that yeah, i should be drinking soy milk and eating beans and cooked food without feeling guilt. so thank you ♥️
Sounds very similar to my own experience! The juice feasts and the raw detox stuff is what gets people in so much trouble... it's always the same story with the detox yoga girls... they starve themselves, and then they eat an egg and wow health! Yeah.. because eggs would be better than living off of kale banana smoothies!!!
It's better than being a wah wah "moral" vegan which is about as cringe useless inhumane shit you can be. Animals are human property to use and eat as we see fit. The only moral considerations an animal has is that it's wrong to take pleasure in unnecessary harm. Ergo as long as you're not enjoying the harm of the animals their death has no moral content at all. But vegans anthropomorphize animals and pretend they would die happy surrounded by grandkids in a cave rather than ripped apart by a different animal. Like some animals literally eat their moms or murder their womb mates upon birth. You bring a ridiculous disney horse shit view to a system that you have no understanding of
@@FlawlessP401 when you eat animals, that's something you enjoy doing and it's completely unnecessary. Harming animals in general is completely unnecessary.
@@elizabethelias1005 never any need for people to be nasty and rude. I'm glad that persons comments have gone and I agree with you. It's almost Friday so have a great weekend too!
The amount of times she came on her stories and shamed people for eating animals or non organic. Or telling others what's best for their bodies 😅💀 I think that's what gets me with her saying..plz keep your feelings to yourself. She never cared to keep her own feelings to herself about anything.
I’ve started to put believing in organic into a special category of woo, maybe I’m too jaded but I believe someone’s critical thinking skills a bit less if they are still believing organic food myths.
@@nicolesapphire3696 pesticides, synthetic nitrate fertiilizer and different amounts of nutrient density are a myth now, ok. just like the cancer suffering farm workers and reduced bees that we depend on for survival. All a myth.
@@III1l Hive collapse was resolved and was only a concern for honey bees, wild bees are indeed struggling but it’s for a variety of reasons. Some of the problems affecting wild bees are: lack of habitat in the sense that not as many people plant flowers in their yards,p; honey bees pose a threat to wild bees and other wild pollinators as they are often shipped into areas and end competing for resources; monocroping is another big problem; organic pesticides are also a problem because they are not very specific and target all insects instead of other pesticides that can target specific insects and misinformation about GMOs is also a problem because GMOs reduce the need for broad non specific pesticides. As for farmers getting cancer from pesticide use, yes, in areas where they are impoverished they have a problem of not always having the right safety equipment, all the problems related to cancer and pesticides come from improper use. Many people don’t understand either that just because something is a problem at a very large dose it does not mean it’s unsafe in micro amounts. GMOs could also help in this area as well as GMO crops don’t require as much or sometimes any pesticides. So the issue is people don’t really understand the problems or the nuance of the issues. So yes the organic industry is filled with some misinformation, the first is that they don’t use pesticides, this is incorrect they do use pesticides and some of it is worse for the environment. The second is the belief that organic farming is better for the environment, it’s not. Third the false belief that organic food is healthier, it’s not. Neither conventional farming nor organic farming is completely good, there’s room for improvement on both sides. You have decided to only hear or listen to one side of this debate.
I wish more vegans seemed to appreciate harm reduction like you do. My household is getting there, but its nice to know youd see that instead of hating us immediately.
@@celiareed1402 babies may be more exhausting than children but children are still exhausting like babies but just for different reasons. Aging and motherhood can lead to hormonal changes, no one gets to feel as vibrant as they did in there 20’s even if they don’t have babies.
Interesting how she talks about sourcing her food but also about being free eating whatever at a restaurant. So you only eat at restaurants that buy from small farmers? Sure
“Don’t take advice from adults that believe in magic” 🤣 love it and totally agree. Maybe she felt tired and exhausted after pregnancy because babies are a lot of work and exhausting, why would she think that waking up several times in a night would be anything but energy draining? As someone who chose not to have babies it’s always surprising how daft some people are who choose to have babies on the whole subject of babies. Why do I suspect that because she’s a yoga person that she thought her yoga energy would magically make her a super powered yummy mummy and she would not have any of the woes other mothers have 🤦♀️
When Yoga Girl mentions "no-harm", it references to the Yoga Sutras' Ahimsa. No-harm/Ahimra is something one strives towards, aka try to cause as little harm as possible. In my personal opinion, if you strive to do as little harm as possible, you have to be vegan. 🤷🏼♀️
I use to follow her before and after her pregnancy. After she had her first daughter she did a bunch of “cleanses” and bizarre diet shit. I knew I had to unfollow her, but she’d always had good vegan content. Then she posted an anti-vax comment and that’s when I was done.
@@Darmok_onthe_ocean It's not stupid to ask questions, it's stupid not to aak questions. Can you prove that anyone, anywhere, has ever proved that contagion is real ?
@@apteryx7080 I mean. Yes. You’re right, it’s not stupid to ask questions. But it is stupid to jump off a building just because gravity is a theory and you want to test if it exists or not.
I should have done the same. The anti-vax post was such a red flag for me, and then she pack everything and left to Sweden, no thinking at all in her family: it was like: me, me, me
I think this is my favourite video of yours. Sometimes i start feeling crazy for my cynicism but you always help me feel like critical thinking really is as important as i feel it is. Thanks for your great criticism and use of citations. I wish there were more people like you. Lol
Even though she says she's not eating steak at every meal, it seems like that's the road she's headed on. She sounded like many of the "ancestral diet" people. She reminds me of a joke by Joe Rogan. She was vegan because Scientology didn't find her first. Some people are just more predisposed to cult mentality.
As someone who's been a vegetarian since the late 1990s, I can say with certainty that many MANY omnivores have been personally offended by my choice to not eat meat or acted like i was insane for suggesting they try a vegetarian diet. Vegans are absolutely not the only people who are offended by the suggestion that they eat different foods...
I'm vegan now, but long ago I was vegetarian and you are so right. I was young and although I actually loved being vegetarian, I couldn't handle all the reactions. I didn't even talk about what I ate, never commented on what others ate or not, and still people were upset with my plate of vegetables. (After many years as an omnivore I realised I don't care what people say anymore, and went vegan).
I love yoga & some of my beliefs might be considered woo-woo, however I'm pretty science-led too. The RAS (reticular activation system) I believe, is the reason for 'signs'. As far as I know, it's a deep, ancient part of the brain that is constantly scanning for patterns & 'proof' to support our thoughts, beliefs & things our brain deem to be important to us. She didn't get a sign from the universe to eat eggs: she was already looking for one so her RAS found one. (Chase Hughes gives a *much* better explanation of this if anyone's interested!)
Yes indeed, the pattern seeking was to predominately to keep us safe from predators and other dangers. This is either Apophenia or pareidolia. Our brains are fascinating, for me finding the logical reasons for these things is far more fascinating than anything I learned exploring various woo over the span of 25 yrs 😉 I too believed some woo-woo but I did also remain interested in science and always had a bit of skepticism, but really changed my beliefs was beginning to explore skepticism, ie James Randi.
@@nicolesapphire3696 Yeah, I definitely think it's important to remain skeptical & think critically. I agree, a lot of the woo can be explained by physiological processes which is really interesting like you said. I still think there's a lot science has yet to uncover though & it benefits us to acknowledge that we don't know everything ☺️ Thanks for the name drop, will try remember to check him out
The problem I have with woo woo is when it doesn't stay within the person. It ends up being externalized and adversely effects others. Then they have the audacity to try refuse the freely given feelings offered to them, while they sell their own for $1k.
I enjoy your content so much I'm not vegan but I also will say since watching you I have really been watching more about? what I eat and I have cut out a lot of things. I truly think I will be able to make a complete change. Thank you for educating us for taking the time to do these videos and not attacking us that aren't completely vegan 🎃
Digestion takes roughly 2-5 days total for it to be broken down in the stomach, nutrients absorbed in colon, and excreted. Her feeling *immediately* better is placebo cause she was hyping it up so much as a sign from the universe.
I can't stand judgemental vegans. I live in Las Vegas. Earlier this month I went to the Asian market to look for oyster sauce. I had never tried it and don't have any ethical issues with bivalves. While I was there I encountered some vegan oyster sauce. So I took some pictures of it and posted it on the Las Vegas vegans Facebook group. My autistic brain feels the need to give certain details. So I mentioned buying oyster sauce and included a link to info on ostroveganism. I expected some controversy. But the way people came at me in the comments made me not want to be there. I haven't been back since. I don't know if I want to go back. Which is a shame because it's a fantastic resource for vegan food in Las Vegas. It's thanks to that group that I learned that the Filipino grocery store chain Seafood City carries a Philippine meat substitute brand that includes vegan SPAM! It's really sad to be driven away from such a great resource by judgemental vegans over something as unimportant as oyster sauce. Sometimes I don't want to call myself vegan anymore. Sometimes I just want to throw up my hands and say "fuck it!" and just not be vegan anymore. But I still carry on doing the best I can because it's not about me. It's about all the sentient beings who no longer suffer because I made the right choce. This "no animal products ever under any circumstances." attitude is helpful. It completely ignores nuance. It ignores the fact that under certain circumstances it's ok to consume animal products. Veganism isn't about not consuming animal products. It's about not contributing to the exploitation of sentient beings. Buying oyster sauce, animal products on clearance, or second hand leather doesn't contribute to the exploitation of sentient beings. Grocery stores have really narrow profit margins. So if I buy a milk chocolate bar that's on clearance; the store isn't making any money on it and isn't being encouraged to keep stocking that product. Allowing myself animal products in these limited circumstances helps keep me otherwise vegan. And that's a good thing! We need to stop shitting on people who aren't level 100 vegans. We need to stop the black and white thinking and understand that nuance is a thing. Thank you Swayze. You are helping me not burn out and give up. We need more rational vegans like you in the world.
Every humane choice adds up to a more humane world. Fewer animals would suffer if 1,000 people ate a mostly vegan diet, than if 10 vegans drove them back to an omnivorous diet by sniping at them for things like garage-sale leather shoes or a chocolate bar on clearance.
@@zxyatiywariii8 COMPLETELY agree. We all do our best. Being judged isn't going to magically make some options available for those of us living in a rural area and not having the gas money or time to go grocery shopping in the city that's an hour away every week. We eat mostly vegan foods, but sometimes eggs and cheese and the only option when there is no tofu and we want to eat something other than beans. I have asked for certain products to be available in my local grocery store and have gotten some success, but they can't order in every single vegan option just for my family's sake. And I don't plan on giving up my job to advocate in my community. Empathy goes a long way.
We do the best we can and that is good enough! The judgmental attitude tugs at our guilt and is not helpful. You shouldn’t guilt someone into changing their life, but inspire them instead. Otherwise every time they look at food they will just feel guilt
Great video!! When Swayze started saying "She put the egg on an altar and prayed" I thought she was joking, and then lol. Also, yoga girl's voice was cringe to my ears 🙉
It honestly always seems to be Fish and eggs that they eat and it’s miraculous. Like the fish and eggs have some sort of magical powers that suck them in.
Isn't that just that they were missing some nutrients (not saying that you can't get all nutrients from eating vegan, just that those people specifically were missing nutrients). And so their bodies craved foods that contained those nutrients, and generally fish and eggs are healthier than say beef. And so that's what the body craves if it's depleted.
Ok, I am someone who went back to eating meat because of health reasons, I was vegetarian but became really ill after gall bladder surgery. I was not able to work out how to get the protein I needed from a low fat vegetarian diet (I had mostly been living on cheese and nuts for my protein. When I added meat back into my diet I did feel much better because I was getting the nutrients I needed in an easy to source format. But that does not make it ethical to do so! I am not pretending the universe wants me to eat animals. I need to cut down and actually do the hard work of working out how to get what I need from plant sources.
Yeah, I feel drained of energy after pregnancy too, because now I have a baby to take care of that doesn't sleep... I'm going to go with that instead of a vegan diet "catching up" with me.
I have to take medication with lactose but that doesn’t mean I throw my hands up and start eating meat because it’s not technically “vegan”. You have to do the best you can.
THANK YOU about the palm oil. I'm a total super fan, like obsessive, of orangutans. They're my second favorite animal (#1 for me is the cheetah) of all time. They are amazing beings and you can see them looking into your eyes and you know they're our relatives. I feel the same about primates in general but there's a saying about great apes: "if you give a screwdriver to a chimp, a gorilla, or an orangutan, the chimp will try to destroy the screwdriver, the gorilla will throw it away, but an orangutan will hide it, and then when no one is looking, will use it to disassemble everything in their environment." Palm oil is destroying all of the forests of Borneo and Sumatra, and it's killing the orangutans that only exist on those two islands.
I'm not vegan I do eat more plant based options now than I ever have before. I have chronic health issues that would make a totally vegan diet not great for my overall health. I watch you because you share new vegan things but also are logical about different diets. Pregnancy is so difficult regardless of diet. I had my 2 kids 17 months apart and I felt like a zombie the first couple years. Edited to add I'm a practicing witch (over 20 years now) but believe in science and don't look to the universe to choose my meals...not all of us are woo woo in the same way she is😂😂
I’m also a practising witch who believes in science at the same time. I was personally quite offended in this video when she kept attacking astrology and making fun of spirituality.
@@nikanh9946 I live in a tiny conservative southern town so I've seen much worse reactions and heard way harsher things so that didn't really phase me 😂
@@sisterursuline I wasn’t offended because she doesn’t believe in the same thing that I do. I get offended when people attack or make fun of any belief system. It’s fine to agree to disagree but don’t judge other people.

I almost never leave any comments under your videos, yet watching them is always interesting and insightful. Thank you so much for your work. I'm not vegan, and I'm not vegetarian, I'll say 40% of my diet is vegan, 55% is vegetarian and there is still 5% of fish or seafood now and then. Yet, watching your video, has been a huge support to increase the vegan part of my diet and try to be more ethical without shame. Thank you so so so much.
As matter a fact eggs contain a range of vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin E and selenium which all act as important antioxidants in supporting eye health, retina function and helping counteract degenerative vision as you age. Eggs also contain useful amounts of vitamins such as A, E, B5, B12, as well as iron, iodine and phosphorus - all vital nutrients in supporting a healthy diet. It also has a good source of protein. Only too much oil or undercooked eggs can be risk factor for a person, that is why I use little amount olive oil to make my eggs. Eggs help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - or “good” cholesterol as it’s commonly known - and this is one reason why eggs have been found to have little to no effect on heart disease risk.
No, it has been scientifically proven that eggs increase cholesterol levels in your blood, clog your arteries and contribute to a higher risk of heart diseases and strokes. Every vitamin you listed can also be found in vegan food.
“And then she puts the egg on the alter and… prays..” Me: No she didn’t. That sounds like an exaggeration. “And then I put the egg on the alter and.. prayed.” 😐 🥚
been vegan around 8 years but stayed at my friends farm and tried a fried egg and blaugh i couldn't stand it and I certainly didn't feel magically "better" after
Thank you, I enjoyed listening to this one (and all your other videos) but this one had a few bits that made me chuckle! I agree, doctors belong in surgeries and hospitals - not on Instagram!! 😃
It’s funny/sad that years ago veganism was super trendy and back then all these people were soooo dedicated to the lifestyle. And now it’s not trendy anymore and suddenly they all drop it and the animals suddenly don’t matter anymore…sigh…
@@AntiVegan Thanks. I'll be just fine following and commenting on this vegan channel, as a vegan, whilst you parasitic trolls continue to visit this channel to try to discourage us.
The healthy narrative again … it’s always sooo « me,me,me » with this kind of influencers. No questions about there privilège, the philosophy of veganisme and justification with spiritual belief and pseudo science. I’m tired about this ex vegan speech 😫
Magical thinking is the opposite of critical thinking. I spent near to 25 yrs on and off exploring various new age spiritual beliefs, I did exactly what she described waited and sought out signs and direction from the “universe” waited for spirit guides (never experienced any), it’s all 💩 it wasted my precious time that I will never get back, it never made anything actually better in my life. The only certainty is that we have a limited time in this existence as this person in this time, magical thinking wastes this.
I have to say when I was pregnant and needed to eat meat for the first time in 30 years (on medical advice of my consultant). I felt immediately better, Like a fog had lifted. Haven’t looked back since
Only 3 min into the video so just guess viewpoints, but mold colonization is a legitimate concern. Particularly here in the PNW. It causes a ton of health issues, primarily immune suppression due to the constant CDR response
Personally I notice that when I eat vegan I feel better. Dairy honestly makes me sick for one. I’m lactose intolerant. Meats feel heavy in my system so for me plant based is more of the way to go.
"Were going to disappoint you." Yea I am still waiting on that Kale Seitan recipe. Yes I did just revive a dead meme. LOL Yes I know she explained why there is no seitan recipe.
I noticed all the ex vegan celebs all jump on the bandwagon when it was cool to be vegan. Now that they want to go back to eat meat when the trend is no longer popular or oversaturated. SMh
I don't understand why she feels the need to talk about it? You are good at listening to these people drone on and on. I can't. Anyway, Thanks for sharing.
Not on the topic of the video but, am I really the only person that loves kale? I mean I looooove kale because it reminds me if the taste of a leaf we have in Brazil and I grew up eating it but I can’t find it in Europe.
Thanks. A good response video. 1) good word, consequential: I haven't come across it before in this context, for which it is useful so thanks. 2) amusing and catchy title and attractive cover of the video 3) yet again the feeling constantly hungry, weak etc. on a vegan diet: not only could that be due to a) other factors like mould, candida etc. b) that vegans aren't Superpeople, any human can become ill but most importantly c) it's quite possible indeed likely and definitely demanding investigation whether a sound vegan diet is being followed such as having enough legumes, whole grains, tubers and also supplements particularly B12: starch phobia translating to phobia of grains and tubers, or legume phobia due to the spectre or bogey of gas are both seen. Well thanks for the good video.
@@jcruit6057 true, but I've learned that if you're not getting enough nutrients during the pregnancy, then your body will take nutrients from your body to give to your baby.
I’v noticed a common theme with these no longer vegan videos, there’s always something else whether it be emotional stresses, eating highly process food, under eating, believing woo woo things, ect. Health isn’t just about food all key parts play a role.
Exactly, all key parts play a role. And mental health is a huge part of that. If you always feel like missing out on good food, have cravings for meat and cheese and have to eat your own stuff when invited, feeling isolated on the same table with friends and family. Than it will longtearm lead to depression! Vegan gives you the feeling of having to save the planet and all the animals 24/7. It's a continuous bombardment of bad emotions. Extremely unhealthy and stressfull! It makes me sad if I think back on the two ears as a vegan. I feel sooo much better now. Finally free and able to eat whatever I want. Such a release!
@@PySnek personally can’t relate as I’m still vegan, not depressed, not deprived, don’t feel isolated not eating murdered animals when friends do, actually feel kinda digested physically energy wise if I was to eat like them, but each there own :)
Thank you for this very compassionate and sensible video. I have been vegetarian for over 16 years, vegan for 2 of those years. As a strict vegan, I struggled with weight gain, low energy, and low iron. Being a vegetarian, I feel better and my weight is healthy. Yet I have been so judged by many vegans, which has been painful since I care a lot about being kind to animals.
If you have free range well cared for chickens that you raise and all that, would it be ethical to eat those eggs? Hens are stimulated to lay as soon as there is 16 hours of daylight, meaning they can lay between 1-2 eggs per hen, per day. They aren’t always going to brood and incubate those eggs, so they would just go to waste. If there is no rooster those eggs won’t hatch no matter how long the hen lays.
Does she say when she went vegan? I remember listening to a podcast with James Aspey and she went vegan after that. So she’s been no longer vegan before!
I agree with and unterstand almost everything you said. There's just the thing about kids growing up in "spiritual households", that you feel sorry for (19:10) that doesn't sit right with me. "Not being prepared for the real world" - what is the "real world"? Everything that's hard and exhausting about life? Does life have to be perceived as something so negative that you have to be prepared for? I don't think/hope so. ❤
Thank you!! I just heard about this person on a Swedish podcast where they talk about her choice to give birth to her second child at home without any check-ups or so. Which I think is fine. Then she was talking about ”being closer to the land, buying local” etc etc. Having cravings. Just like any other person not eating a balanced vegan diet 🙄 I never finished litsening to the podcast (it’s called Blenda) because it’s always the same story anyway 🫠
I would appreciate a video about seed oils! Especially regarding long term use and Omega 6 to 3 ratio and the consequences of that, because I have read, that the excess in Omega 6 could be problematic in the long run… regarding brain health, inflammation etc. :)
You being a consequentialist first makes it easier for me to trust your suggestions. I can’t go full vegan, but I have over the years added some of your vegan suggestions to my diet. I’m also a super taster, so when you describe foods in a certain way I can be like “oh yeah I probably won’t like that.” But I have debilitating migraines, type 1 diabetes, and some sort of undiagnosed irritable bowl issue (that I’m looking to get diagnosed food.) I’m also Irish so dairy is notoriously a staple of our diet. Looking into research saying that 90-100% Irish can digest dairy into adulthood. Was wild.
I have to say I’m a little thrown by this seed oil business. Could you talk more on it deep dive style for a video? There’s some seriously mixed messages out there to the point I’m even confused and I research all the time. I’m team seed oil… I think?
I discovered toxic mold in my house a month ago (who knows how long it was there before I found it and had it tested). I'm still waiting on insurance so we can have it remediated. But let me tell you, other than closing the door to that room, I am not trying to detox anything. Lol. What?! If you have a bad reaction to mold, see a doctor.
I am an adult and I believe in magic and I can be taken seriously :') Spiritual people do things and make decisions just like other people, they just put it in other words. When I am waiting for the universe to answer me, I am just waiting till I feel right about something, waiting for my intuition. Mostly about bigger things, than what to cook that day, but you know what I mean. I think it's a cool thing that she prayed about that egg, because it's a really big thing after being vegan for so long, and that's her way to being connected to herself and her feelings. But yeah, I agree that we shouldnt reach the point where the universe is responsible for our decisions and not we ourselfs...
This is a beautiful explanation. Non-spiritual people just don't understand. But if they need belief put into scientific terms, there are plenty of studies that show people who have a spiritual practice are happier, healthier & live longer than those who don't.

I'm listening to this while making dinner, and the moment you started talking about how kale is gross, I had just taken some kale out of the fridge to make a salad. I really like it with some delicious dressing! But yeah, not on its own.
How can you promote backyard hens? There's too many unknown and possibility for it to be a bad decision, that it's not a good idea. In theory it might be okay, but people don't live in theory land.
I appreciate those who advocate people taking steps towards better consumption habits-I think a lot of people end up turned off to the idea when they’re only exposed to the more militant side of veganism-I’d contend that more numerous people choosing to go lower in consumption of animal products would likely lower impacts more than trying to get people to remove them from their diet entirely. Maybe I’m just talking out of my butt cause I’ve never been one to seek out meat at every meal-but it’s definitely an easier/more accessible(and cheaper) lifestyle choice than when I was eating raw vegan,so probably the best first step for a lot of people to lower consumption impacts
Why do all these ex-vegans turn straight to meat eating? Why not just include backyard eggs and oysters? Having not eaten meat in 15 years, it’s literally looks and smells beyond repulsive to me. And the magical powers thing … just … wtf
I recently discovered your channel and I love it! I don't like to use the term vegan because it is so strict and I prefer to evaluate everything and make my own decisions. For example, I don't really include bugs. I live in Florida, I'm going to poison roaches, termites, etc. I also use honey from local beekeepers that love the crap out of their bees. So I'm not vegan technically but I do have to use that label with non-vegans because they don't understand the term plant based and will continue to offer dairy. I chose to go plant based for my health, animals, and the environment so it's very nuanced since I don't do it for just one of those reasons.
Re : the seed oil thing you scoffed at: The oils extracted from soybeans, corn, cottonseed, safflower seeds, and rapeseeds must be refined, bleached, and deodorized before they are suitable for human consumption. First, seeds are gathered from the soy, corn, cotton, safflower, and rapeseed plants. Next, the seeds are heated to extremely high temperatures; this causes the unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds to oxidize, creating byproducts that are harmful to human and animal health. The seeds are then processed with a petroleum-based solvent, such as hexane, to maximize the amount of oil extracted from them. Next, industrial seed oil manufacturers use chemicals to deodorize the oils, which have a very off-putting smell once extracted. The deodorization process produces trans fats, which are well known to be quite harmful to human health. Finally, more chemicals are added to improve the color of the industrial seed oils.
I would be interested in seeing you do a video on the science/health of seed oils. I've really only seen them be spoken about negatively online recently.

You have no idea how many times I have had a nefarious urge to say screw my ethics and come up with some sort of pseudoscience or woo to sell to the woogans. A part of my brain thinks it would be better for the money to come to me instead of the quacks, scammers and snake oil purveyors.
I used believe a few new age things, I still have tarot decks maybe I should just set up shop 🤣
I never understood people who said "I ate [non-vegan food] and felt TOTALLY better!" because I have been vegan for 7 years but I've accidentally consumed non-vegan food that contained milk and eggs a lot over the years. It happens, it's life. Never felt suddenly better, never felt like I particularly sick, i'd just go "aw, that sucks" and move on with my life. I don't think think I can ever understand stuff like this.
Yeah, it’s all in their head
It depends on why you're feeling unwell. My wife has an inability to process a lot of common plant based foods. She got sick and developed a ton of food intolerances. Tomato,potato, all red spices, gluten, garlic.. the list goes on and on. This severely limits her plant based food options to the point that she cannot avoid malnutrition on a solely vegan diet. It broke her heart but she needed to start eating fish. Her health improved almost immediately.
The only time I noticed a big difference was after struggling with anemia. After 6 months of minimal improvement I reduced my fibre intake and added 2 animal products to my diet daily. But it still took 2 months before I felt that big difference. Once I built up my iron stores back up I was able to maintain more easily with just supplements.
You wouldn't understand, as it has not happened to you. For those of us it DID happen to, the described feeling is very familiar. For me, eating eggs after a long period of veganism gave me a strange feeling I wasn't expecting-- it was a feeling of sharpened senses and a clearing of mental fog to some degree.
@@heidih3048 Oh sure, I understand changing diets and things being more compatible over others, don't get me wrong. I mean the idea of "I suddenly felt better within the first bite of an egg" rather than transitioning your diet
If you really want to eat an egg as a vegan and you’re spiraling about it that much, just eat the egg and move on. People are so all or nothing that they go FULLY back to animal products-it’s absurd to me.
Yes! How do they go from a backyard egg to steak!? It’s mind blowing. Can’t they just eat their own chickens eggs? Seems like it was not really for health- it was cravings or something.
I did that recently this summer. Long story short, Got some back yard eggs... realized that I don't actually enjoy eating eggs. It was a bit like Breaking Amish.
Ikr! A friend adopted some chickens and they're happy, healthy, free-range birds who don't eat their eggs even given the opportunity, so she always has some unfertilized fresh eggs that are humanely acquired. Meanwhile the chickens have a home safe from hawks or foxes, and lots of healthy food, and kids who they welcome home from school, happily running to greet them.
Edit: spelling
Well said! Thank you.
That's because veganism is all or nothing. You don't go around chanting "meat is murder", then go "yeah, but like, it's cool bro if you want an omelette".
I know UnNaturalVegan tries to be nuanced and fair, so she'll say it's fine once in a while, but veganism is inherently all or nothing.
I eat mostly plant based diet, but I do have animal products on occasion (every few months) - and I've got to admit, I have no idea what those people mean by "feeling so different" after they've changed their meals. I mostly feel the same, hardly any difference. Placebo effect is strong with this community.
That happens when you are malnourished, you do feel better in minutes. If your body is nourished properly then you will feel the same
times that i consume animal food on occasion i feel so heavy and It Is very annoying and ugly sensation at the throat
@@cicciomattese oh yes same. But I guess it's different for everyone?
I don’t know, everyone has different needs, I assume?
I love when someone comments on someone else’s experience „NO, THAT’S NOT TRUE, I KNOW FOR SURE, BECAUSE I HAD IT DIFFERENTLY”
@@moonlady2299 damn tell that to indians
I mean, she even explains why she was feeling poorly. To many processed foods- vegan or not will make you feel crappy
But even swayze doesn’t feel like processed foods should be avoid
Hahahahah youre hilarious. Swayze lives off bags of shit and candy
No I think she explained why she didn’t feel good with the statement that things really changed after her pregnancy: she had standard mommy fatigue. Processed foods vary in how they effect different people. Each processed food is different from another and sometimes what makes a person feel unwell isn’t the fact that a food is processed but how it’s cooked, both unprocessed and processed food can be deep fried and some people don’t do well with fried food, especially as we age. There’s also the strange effect of people feeling unwell if the over do it on “healthy” whole foods, while fibre is good too much fibre can cause discomfort and even health issues. Not feeling well is ambiguous and could have multiple causes and reality is someone can even feel unwell even if they are eating perfectly balanced because not all things are caused or cured by diet. Aging and having children bring about lots of changes via hormones and life stress.
Also never mind the fact that she always portayed herself having vegan gluten free organic whole food shit for years. It’s hard to believe when she says they used to have a lot of processed foods, but maybe she lied before.
I noticed all of those girls not being vegan anymore did veganism because they treated it like a trend.
This is exactly it. She makes her income from social media and she’s redefining her influencer identity. She’s now moving to a cold climate and all the rage is homesteading and “ancestral” diets are hot. Vegan isn’t good for her bottom line as it’s not the current trend and won’t look as sellable in her new climate. I don’t trust half of what she says, everyone who is no longer vegan needs a long drawn out video with a million excuses because they feel guilty.
It was a cool trend for them,, hippy
Or, she started getting sick and depleted from the unhealthy vegan diet, and had the nerve to all you sheep… which is actually commendable.
Yeah, once adding "vegan" to a video stopped being the SEO golden ticket it used to be, a lot of them lost interest.
Yeah you can pretty much tell from day one who's just a tourist, they're definitely a "type," all cut from the same cloth (probably wool or leather!🙄💀) Their foray into "veganism" is just a cute story they can tell their kids while they & their normie carnist husband sit around the dinner table feasting on the SAD flesh & secretions of sentient beings.
I'd rather be d3d than be one of them.💯
“If I saw my doctor on Instagram… it’s over” 😂 Girl, I’m totally with you.
Why though? 😂
@@milky-way15 A bit unprofessional tinge there. And I suppose no one wants that anything to do with their immediate health.
i just have to say, when i first had an egg after being vegan for 5 years, mostly high raw, doing lots of ‘juice feasting’ and enemas and dumb shit, i did feel immediately better 🤣 i would have felt better just eating a vegan curry though. for some reason, in my mind, that wasn’t an option. i was so all or nothing.
but i have no idea what this lady was eating and if eggs truly would have had an instant impact on her. i’m back to being plant-based, but honestly thanks to you, re-evaluated my relationship with veganism in a positive way, and realized that yeah, i should be drinking soy milk and eating beans and cooked food without feeling guilt. so thank you ♥️
Sounds very similar to my own experience! The juice feasts and the raw detox stuff is what gets people in so much trouble... it's always the same story with the detox yoga girls... they starve themselves, and then they eat an egg and wow health! Yeah.. because eggs would be better than living off of kale banana smoothies!!!
Good for you!
I'm so sick of these people. These woo woo wellness spiritual "vegans" always stray from being vegan.
It's better than being a wah wah "moral" vegan which is about as cringe useless inhumane shit you can be.
Animals are human property to use and eat as we see fit.
The only moral considerations an animal has is that it's wrong to take pleasure in unnecessary harm.
Ergo as long as you're not enjoying the harm of the animals their death has no moral content at all.
But vegans anthropomorphize animals and pretend they would die happy surrounded by grandkids in a cave rather than ripped apart by a different animal.
Like some animals literally eat their moms or murder their womb mates upon birth.
You bring a ridiculous disney horse shit view to a system that you have no understanding of
I hear "namaste", I leave.
@@FlawlessP401 nice personal attacks. You know absolutely nothing about me. But your personal attacks against me says a lot about you.

I’ve started to put believing in organic into a special category of woo, maybe I’m too jaded but I believe someone’s critical thinking skills a bit less if they are still believing organic food myths.
@@nicolesapphire3696 pesticides, synthetic nitrate fertiilizer and different amounts of nutrient density are a myth now, ok. just like the cancer suffering farm workers and reduced bees that we depend on for survival. All a myth.
@@III1l Hive collapse was resolved and was only a concern for honey bees, wild bees are indeed struggling but it’s for a variety of reasons. Some of the problems affecting wild bees are: lack of habitat in the sense that not as many people plant flowers in their yards,p; honey bees pose a threat to wild bees and other wild pollinators as they are often shipped into areas and end competing for resources; monocroping is another big problem; organic pesticides are also a problem because they are not very specific and target all insects instead of other pesticides that can target specific insects and misinformation about GMOs is also a problem because GMOs reduce the need for broad non specific pesticides.
As for farmers getting cancer from pesticide use, yes, in areas where they are impoverished they have a problem of not always having the right safety equipment, all the problems related to cancer and pesticides come from improper use. Many people don’t understand either that just because something is a problem at a very large dose it does not mean it’s unsafe in micro amounts. GMOs could also help in this area as well as GMO crops don’t require as much or sometimes any pesticides. So the issue is people don’t really understand the problems or the nuance of the issues.
So yes the organic industry is filled with some misinformation, the first is that they don’t use pesticides, this is incorrect they do use pesticides and some of it is worse for the environment. The second is the belief that organic farming is better for the environment, it’s not. Third the false belief that organic food is healthier, it’s not. Neither conventional farming nor organic farming is completely good, there’s room for improvement on both sides. You have decided to only hear or listen to one side of this debate.
at this point, swayze needs an “i’m no longer vegan” bingo card for these videos
I wish more vegans seemed to appreciate harm reduction like you do. My household is getting there, but its nice to know youd see that instead of hating us immediately.
There's also the possibility of postpartum depression stealing her energy, taking care of a new born is exhausting no matter what diet you follow.
Her daughter is over five years old.
Exactly, babies are tiring and they continue to be exhausting even after they aren’t babies.
@@celiareed1402 babies may be more exhausting than children but children are still exhausting like babies but just for different reasons. Aging and motherhood can lead to hormonal changes, no one gets to feel as vibrant as they did in there 20’s even if they don’t have babies.
@@nicolesapphire3696 That’s not the same as postpartum.
You do realize that unnatural vegan also had a newborn so she knows.
Never heard an adult speak to other adults about their ‘big feelings’… I’m conflicted and in case you were wondering my feelings on this are small
Interesting how she talks about sourcing her food but also about being free eating whatever at a restaurant. So you only eat at restaurants that buy from small farmers? Sure
“Don’t take advice from adults that believe in magic” 🤣 love it and totally agree. Maybe she felt tired and exhausted after pregnancy because babies are a lot of work and exhausting, why would she think that waking up several times in a night would be anything but energy draining? As someone who chose not to have babies it’s always surprising how daft some people are who choose to have babies on the whole subject of babies. Why do I suspect that because she’s a yoga person that she thought her yoga energy would magically make her a super powered yummy mummy and she would not have any of the woes other mothers have 🤦♀️
She put the egg on the altar and prayed….. hmmm, not weird at all lol The things we tell our selves when we want to justify our actions smh
hahahahaha I can't even.... like wtf? jhahahahahaha
When Yoga Girl mentions "no-harm", it references to the Yoga Sutras' Ahimsa. No-harm/Ahimra is something one strives towards, aka try to cause as little harm as possible. In my personal opinion, if you strive to do as little harm as possible, you have to be vegan. 🤷🏼♀️
I use to follow her before and after her pregnancy. After she had her first daughter she did a bunch of “cleanses” and bizarre diet shit. I knew I had to unfollow her, but she’d always had good vegan content. Then she posted an anti-vax comment and that’s when I was done.

lol, I loved the cookie example. The universe is always telling me to eat more cookies, I better not pay attention to the universe :D
😄🤣👍
The universe tells me to eat a LOT of cookies and cake lol
I've noticed the universe places a lot of candy in grocery store check-out lines. It must be a sign! :D
It's not the universe that wants you to eat cookies it's your own body because it's confused by modern civilisation
Even though she says she's not eating steak at every meal, it seems like that's the road she's headed on. She sounded like many of the "ancestral diet" people. She reminds me of a joke by Joe Rogan. She was vegan because Scientology didn't find her first. Some people are just more predisposed to cult mentality.
As someone who's been a vegetarian since the late 1990s, I can say with certainty that many MANY omnivores have been personally offended by my choice to not eat meat or acted like i was insane for suggesting they try a vegetarian diet. Vegans are absolutely not the only people who are offended by the suggestion that they eat different foods...
I'm vegan now, but long ago I was vegetarian and you are so right. I was young and although I actually loved being vegetarian, I couldn't handle all the reactions. I didn't even talk about what I ate, never commented on what others ate or not, and still people were upset with my plate of vegetables. (After many years as an omnivore I realised I don't care what people say anymore, and went vegan).
EXACTLY! The non vegan mindset is way more judgemental in my experience of being vegan
Yes and thank you for mentioning this! Omg, it's so weird how offended some of them are
I love yoga & some of my beliefs might be considered woo-woo, however I'm pretty science-led too.
The RAS (reticular activation system) I believe, is the reason for 'signs'.
As far as I know, it's a deep, ancient part of the brain that is constantly scanning for patterns & 'proof' to support our thoughts, beliefs & things our brain deem to be important to us.
She didn't get a sign from the universe to eat eggs: she was already looking for one so her RAS found one.
(Chase Hughes gives a *much* better explanation of this if anyone's interested!)
Yes indeed, the pattern seeking was to predominately to keep us safe from predators and other dangers. This is either Apophenia or pareidolia. Our brains are fascinating, for me finding the logical reasons for these things is far more fascinating than anything I learned exploring various woo over the span of 25 yrs 😉 I too believed some woo-woo but I did also remain interested in science and always had a bit of skepticism, but really changed my beliefs was beginning to explore skepticism, ie James Randi.
@@nicolesapphire3696 Yeah, I definitely think it's important to remain skeptical & think critically. I agree, a lot of the woo can be explained by physiological processes which is really interesting like you said.
I still think there's a lot science has yet to uncover though & it benefits us to acknowledge that we don't know everything ☺️
Thanks for the name drop, will try remember to check him out
The problem I have with woo woo is when it doesn't stay within the person. It ends up being externalized and adversely effects others. Then they have the audacity to try refuse the freely given feelings offered to them, while they sell their own for $1k.
I enjoy your content so much I'm not vegan but I also will say since watching you I have really been watching more about? what I eat and I have cut out a lot of things. I truly think I will be able to make a complete change. Thank you for educating us for taking the time to do these videos and not attacking us that aren't completely vegan 🎃

Digestion takes roughly 2-5 days total for it to be broken down in the stomach, nutrients absorbed in colon, and excreted. Her feeling *immediately* better is placebo cause she was hyping it up so much as a sign from the universe.
I can't stand judgemental vegans. I live in Las Vegas. Earlier this month I went to the Asian market to look for oyster sauce. I had never tried it and don't have any ethical issues with bivalves. While I was there I encountered some vegan oyster sauce. So I took some pictures of it and posted it on the Las Vegas vegans Facebook group. My autistic brain feels the need to give certain details. So I mentioned buying oyster sauce and included a link to info on ostroveganism. I expected some controversy. But the way people came at me in the comments made me not want to be there. I haven't been back since. I don't know if I want to go back. Which is a shame because it's a fantastic resource for vegan food in Las Vegas. It's thanks to that group that I learned that the Filipino grocery store chain Seafood City carries a Philippine meat substitute brand that includes vegan SPAM! It's really sad to be driven away from such a great resource by judgemental vegans over something as unimportant as oyster sauce. Sometimes I don't want to call myself vegan anymore. Sometimes I just want to throw up my hands and say "fuck it!" and just not be vegan anymore. But I still carry on doing the best I can because it's not about me. It's about all the sentient beings who no longer suffer because I made the right choce. This "no animal products ever under any circumstances." attitude is helpful. It completely ignores nuance. It ignores the fact that under certain circumstances it's ok to consume animal products. Veganism isn't about not consuming animal products. It's about not contributing to the exploitation of sentient beings. Buying oyster sauce, animal products on clearance, or second hand leather doesn't contribute to the exploitation of sentient beings. Grocery stores have really narrow profit margins. So if I buy a milk chocolate bar that's on clearance; the store isn't making any money on it and isn't being encouraged to keep stocking that product. Allowing myself animal products in these limited circumstances helps keep me otherwise vegan. And that's a good thing! We need to stop shitting on people who aren't level 100 vegans. We need to stop the black and white thinking and understand that nuance is a thing.
Thank you Swayze. You are helping me not burn out and give up. We need more rational vegans like you in the world.
Every humane choice adds up to a more humane world. Fewer animals would suffer if 1,000 people ate a mostly vegan diet, than if 10 vegans drove them back to an omnivorous diet by sniping at them for things like garage-sale leather shoes or a chocolate bar on clearance.
@@zxyatiywariii8 COMPLETELY agree. We all do our best. Being judged isn't going to magically make some options available for those of us living in a rural area and not having the gas money or time to go grocery shopping in the city that's an hour away every week. We eat mostly vegan foods, but sometimes eggs and cheese and the only option when there is no tofu and we want to eat something other than beans. I have asked for certain products to be available in my local grocery store and have gotten some success, but they can't order in every single vegan option just for my family's sake. And I don't plan on giving up my job to advocate in my community. Empathy goes a long way.
We do the best we can and that is good enough! The judgmental attitude tugs at our guilt and is not helpful. You shouldn’t guilt someone into changing their life, but inspire them instead. Otherwise every time they look at food they will just feel guilt
Great video!! When Swayze started saying "She put the egg on an altar and prayed" I thought she was joking, and then lol. Also, yoga girl's voice was cringe to my ears 🙉
It honestly always seems to be Fish and eggs that they eat and it’s miraculous. Like the fish and eggs have some sort of magical powers that suck them in.
Psychosomatic they feel better because they luve around meat eaters and are uncomfprtable being a voice for animals its too inconvenient for them.
Animal fat. it's magic.
Isn't that just that they were missing some nutrients (not saying that you can't get all nutrients from eating vegan, just that those people specifically were missing nutrients). And so their bodies craved foods that contained those nutrients, and generally fish and eggs are healthier than say beef. And so that's what the body craves if it's depleted.
@@HelloWorld-cq1sq or it’s just an addiction like you give crack to a former crack addict and there he goes, he has seen the light!
Ok, I am someone who went back to eating meat because of health reasons, I was vegetarian but became really ill after gall bladder surgery. I was not able to work out how to get the protein I needed from a low fat vegetarian diet (I had mostly been living on cheese and nuts for my protein. When I added meat back into my diet I did feel much better because I was getting the nutrients I needed in an easy to source format. But that does not make it ethical to do so! I am not pretending the universe wants me to eat animals. I need to cut down and actually do the hard work of working out how to get what I need from plant sources.
plant based proteins are mostly low in fat?
Pulses, tofu, seitan, quinoa. You went to meat over cheese instead of beans?
@@rollsaroundindirt some people don’t tolerate beans well. My mom doesn’t. She also doesn’t tolerate soy products well.
Yeah, I feel drained of energy after pregnancy too, because now I have a baby to take care of that doesn't sleep... I'm going to go with that instead of a vegan diet "catching up" with me.
I have to take medication with lactose but that doesn’t mean I throw my hands up and start eating meat because it’s not technically “vegan”. You have to do the best you can.
THANK YOU about the palm oil. I'm a total super fan, like obsessive, of orangutans. They're my second favorite animal (#1 for me is the cheetah) of all time. They are amazing beings and you can see them looking into your eyes and you know they're our relatives. I feel the same about primates in general but there's a saying about great apes: "if you give a screwdriver to a chimp, a gorilla, or an orangutan, the chimp will try to destroy the screwdriver, the gorilla will throw it away, but an orangutan will hide it, and then when no one is looking, will use it to disassemble everything in their environment." Palm oil is destroying all of the forests of Borneo and Sumatra, and it's killing the orangutans that only exist on those two islands.
I'm not vegan I do eat more plant based options now than I ever have before. I have chronic health issues that would make a totally vegan diet not great for my overall health. I watch you because you share new vegan things but also are logical about different diets. Pregnancy is so difficult regardless of diet. I had my 2 kids 17 months apart and I felt like a zombie the first couple years.

I almost never leave any comments under your videos, yet watching them is always interesting and insightful. Thank you so much for your work. I'm not vegan, and I'm not vegetarian, I'll say 40% of my diet is vegan, 55% is vegetarian and there is still 5% of fish or seafood now and then.
Yet, watching your video, has been a huge support to increase the vegan part of my diet and try to be more ethical without shame. Thank you so so so much.
As matter a fact eggs contain a range of vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin E and selenium which all act as important antioxidants in supporting eye health, retina function and helping counteract degenerative vision as you age. Eggs also contain useful amounts of vitamins such as A, E, B5, B12, as well as iron, iodine and phosphorus - all vital nutrients in supporting a healthy diet. It also has a good source of protein. Only too much oil or undercooked eggs can be risk factor for a person, that is why I use little amount olive oil to make my eggs. Eggs help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - or “good” cholesterol as it’s commonly known - and this is one reason why eggs have been found to have little to no effect on heart disease risk.
No, it has been scientifically proven that eggs increase cholesterol levels in your blood, clog your arteries and contribute to a higher risk of heart diseases and strokes. Every vitamin you listed can also be found in vegan food.
God I love this channel so much. So much clarity, so much reason. These videos should really be shown in school or in philosophy classes

@@AntiVegan Thanks. I'll be just fine following and commenting on this vegan channel, as a vegan, whilst you parasitic trolls continue to visit this channel to try to discourage us.
@@AntiVegan Thanks for increasing the engagement & visibility of this video! So kind of you to help out 🥰
💯
Me too!!
So basically she is no longer vegan because universe told her to eat eggs. Ok.
The healthy narrative again … it’s always sooo « me,me,me » with this kind of influencers. No questions about there privilège, the philosophy of veganisme and justification with spiritual belief and pseudo science. I’m tired about this ex vegan speech 😫
Magical thinking is the opposite of critical thinking. I spent near to 25 yrs on and off exploring various new age spiritual beliefs, I did exactly what she described waited and sought out signs and direction from the “universe” waited for spirit guides (never experienced any), it’s all 💩 it wasted my precious time that I will never get back, it never made anything actually better in my life. The only certainty is that we have a limited time in this existence as this person in this time, magical thinking wastes this.
Thank you for making this video!! 💜
I have to say when I was pregnant and needed to eat meat for the first time in 30 years (on medical advice of my consultant). I felt immediately better, Like a fog had lifted. Haven’t looked back since
please never stop making videos I love the roasts lmaoo
Only 3 min into the video so just guess viewpoints, but mold colonization is a legitimate concern. Particularly here in the PNW.
It causes a ton of health issues, primarily immune suppression due to the constant CDR response
« Big feelings »… the CONDESCENSION 🤡
Personally I notice that when I eat vegan I feel better. Dairy honestly makes me sick for one. I’m lactose intolerant. Meats feel heavy in my system so for me plant based is more of the way to go.
"Were going to disappoint you." Yea I am still waiting on that Kale Seitan recipe. Yes I did just revive a dead meme. LOL
Yes I know she explained why there is no seitan recipe.
Vegans are quitting left and right, who will be next?
I noticed all the ex vegan celebs all jump on the bandwagon when it was cool to be vegan. Now that they want to go back to eat meat when the trend is no longer popular or oversaturated. SMh
You probably don’t have time for this but you would be great on a podcast!
I don't understand why she feels the need to talk about it? You are good at listening to these people drone on and on. I can't. Anyway, Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed this video. The conversation about nuance, and the focus on harm reduction as opposed to sticking to a label is so insightful.
your energy is always appreciated, i truly love how real you are and how you always have been ❤
Not on the topic of the video but, am I really the only person that loves kale? I mean I looooove kale because it reminds me if the taste of a leaf we have in Brazil and I grew up eating it but I can’t find it in Europe.
Kale is one of my staple greens and we have it widely available in England. Really nice as part of our good old roast dinners!
To add to the absurdity, vegan butter has soy lecithin, which has choline in it.
Thanks. A good response video. 1) good word, consequential: I haven't come across it before in this context, for which it is useful so thanks. 2) amusing and catchy title and attractive cover of the video 3) yet again the feeling constantly hungry, weak etc. on a vegan diet: not only could that be due to a) other factors like mould, candida etc. b) that vegans aren't Superpeople, any human can become ill but most importantly c) it's quite possible indeed likely and definitely demanding investigation whether a sound vegan diet is being followed such as having enough legumes, whole grains, tubers and also supplements particularly B12: starch phobia translating to phobia of grains and tubers, or legume phobia due to the spectre or bogey of gas are both seen. Well thanks for the good video.
I'm 27 and don't feel particularly different than I did when I was 18. I was thinking maybe pregnancy depleted her nutrients
I didn’t start feeling different until after pregnancy. Which is weird because you think we’d need to be stronger to take care of the baby.
@@jcruit6057 true, but I've learned that if you're not getting enough nutrients during the pregnancy, then your body will take nutrients from your body to give to your baby.
Give it a few years 😂
I’v noticed a common theme with these no longer vegan videos, there’s always something else whether it be emotional stresses, eating highly process food, under eating, believing woo woo things, ect. Health isn’t just about food all key parts play a role.
Exactly, all key parts play a role. And mental health is a huge part of that. If you always feel like missing out on good food, have cravings for meat and cheese and have to eat your own stuff when invited, feeling isolated on the same table with friends and family. Than it will longtearm lead to depression! Vegan gives you the feeling of having to save the planet and all the animals 24/7. It's a continuous bombardment of bad emotions. Extremely unhealthy and stressfull! It makes me sad if I think back on the two ears as a vegan. I feel sooo much better now. Finally free and able to eat whatever I want. Such a release!
@@PySnek personally can’t relate as I’m still vegan, not depressed, not deprived, don’t feel isolated not eating murdered animals when friends do, actually feel kinda digested physically energy wise if I was to eat like them, but each there own :)
Swayse: and then she puts the egg on the altar and prays
Me: lmaoo good one swayse
*she actually says it*
Thank you for talking about this ❤
Thank you for this very compassionate and sensible video. I have been vegetarian for over 16 years, vegan for 2 of those years. As a strict vegan, I struggled with weight gain, low energy, and low iron. Being a vegetarian, I feel better and my weight is healthy. Yet I have been so judged by many vegans, which has been painful since I care a lot about being kind to animals.
If you have free range well cared for chickens that you raise and all that, would it be ethical to eat those eggs? Hens are stimulated to lay as soon as there is 16 hours of daylight, meaning they can lay between 1-2 eggs per hen, per day. They aren’t always going to brood and incubate those eggs, so they would just go to waste. If there is no rooster those eggs won’t hatch no matter how long the hen lays.
Of course it's ok to eat them, only the people who made veganism their religion would see a problem
Does she say when she went vegan? I remember listening to a podcast with James Aspey and she went vegan after that. So she’s been no longer vegan before!
Probably… who know what ppl really do in their own time and private spaces. Certainly very different from their brand
Her podcast is kind of cringey with her super calm voice and “vibes.”
That comment was during the very beginning too. The egg story was just interesting…
It's literally just her talking to herself for hours every week. She doesn't even have guests anymore aside from her husband
I agree with and unterstand almost everything you said. There's just the thing about kids growing up in "spiritual households", that you feel sorry for (19:10) that doesn't sit right with me. "Not being prepared for the real world" - what is the "real world"? Everything that's hard and exhausting about life? Does life have to be perceived as something so negative that you have to be prepared for? I don't think/hope so. ❤
I 100% thought you were joking when you said "and then she put it on an alter and prayed". Wow. 😶
Thank you!!
I just heard about this person on a Swedish podcast where they talk about her choice to give birth to her second child at home without any check-ups or so. Which I think is fine. Then she was talking about ”being closer to the land, buying local” etc etc. Having cravings. Just like any other person not eating a balanced vegan diet 🙄
I never finished litsening to the podcast (it’s called Blenda) because it’s always the same story anyway 🫠
i wish people who believe in signs from above focused on reading about attentional biases instead of praying at an egg altar
I would appreciate a video about seed oils! Especially regarding long term use and Omega 6 to 3 ratio and the consequences of that, because I have read, that the excess in Omega 6 could be problematic in the long run… regarding brain health, inflammation etc. :)
THAT CHICKEN STOry is CRAZY 💀💀 like nuh uh, I hope that’s a pr ass story
You being a consequentialist first makes it easier for me to trust your suggestions.
I can’t go full vegan, but I have over the years added some of your vegan suggestions to my diet.
I’m also a super taster, so when you describe foods in a certain way I can be like “oh yeah I probably won’t like that.”
But I have debilitating migraines, type 1 diabetes, and some sort of undiagnosed irritable bowl issue (that I’m looking to get diagnosed food.)
I’m also Irish so dairy is notoriously a staple of our diet. Looking into research saying that 90-100% Irish can digest dairy into adulthood. Was wild.
I have to say I’m a little thrown by this seed oil business. Could you talk more on it deep dive style for a video? There’s some seriously mixed messages out there to the point I’m even confused and I research all the time. I’m team seed oil… I think?
I discovered toxic mold in my house a month ago (who knows how long it was there before I found it and had it tested). I'm still waiting on insurance so we can have it remediated. But let me tell you, other than closing the door to that room, I am not trying to detox anything. Lol. What?! If you have a bad reaction to mold, see a doctor.
T so agree with you about palm oil. I actually don't even consider palm oil vegan!!!
I am an adult and I believe in magic and I can be taken seriously :') Spiritual people do things and make decisions just like other people, they just put it in other words. When I am waiting for the universe to answer me, I am just waiting till I feel right about something, waiting for my intuition. Mostly about bigger things, than what to cook that day, but you know what I mean. I think it's a cool thing that she prayed about that egg, because it's a really big thing after being vegan for so long, and that's her way to being connected to herself and her feelings. But yeah, I agree that we shouldnt reach the point where the universe is responsible for our decisions and not we ourselfs...
This is a beautiful explanation. Non-spiritual people just don't understand. But if they need belief put into scientific terms, there are plenty of studies that show people who have a spiritual practice are happier, healthier & live longer than those who don't. Whether they call it God, the Universe, power of positive thinking, placebo effect, or law of attraction... bottom line is that it works. We see spirituality improve outcomes in every aspect of healthcare
Did you see the transformed wife's tweet about seed oils. (Hint: they're demonic)
rare fundiesnark and veganism crossover
Lmao I hope this isn't real..
I'm listening to this while making dinner, and the moment you started talking about how kale is gross, I had just taken some kale out of the fridge to make a salad. I really like it with some delicious dressing! But yeah, not on its own.
How can you promote backyard hens? There's too many unknown and possibility for it to be a bad decision, that it's not a good idea. In theory it might be okay, but people don't live in theory land.
Ot isn't 'hard' to be Vegan. It is hard to 'be vegan' and remain relevant - vaganism is no longer on trend.
I appreciate those who advocate people taking steps towards better consumption habits-I think a lot of people end up turned off to the idea when they’re only exposed to the more militant side of veganism-I’d contend that more numerous people choosing to go lower in consumption of animal products would likely lower impacts more than trying to get people to remove them from their diet entirely. Maybe I’m just talking out of my butt cause I’ve never been one to seek out meat at every meal-but it’s definitely an easier/more accessible(and cheaper) lifestyle choice than when I was eating raw vegan,so probably the best first step for a lot of people to lower consumption impacts
I dream about boiled eggs a lot but more about the slice and bounce. Like I don’t want to eat them just look at the maybe squish them.
Why do all these ex-vegans turn straight to meat eating? Why not just include backyard eggs and oysters? Having not eaten meat in 15 years, it’s literally looks and smells beyond repulsive to me. And the magical powers thing … just … wtf
I recently discovered your channel and I love it! I don't like to use the term vegan because it is so strict and I prefer to evaluate everything and make my own decisions. For example, I don't really include bugs. I live in Florida, I'm going to poison roaches, termites, etc. I also use honey from local beekeepers that love the crap out of their bees. So I'm not vegan technically but I do have to use that label with non-vegans because they don't understand the term plant based and will continue to offer dairy. I chose to go plant based for my health, animals, and the environment so it's very nuanced since I don't do it for just one of those reasons.
"EGG WILL COME MY WAY" I cannot... Breathe... 😂😂😂😂😂
This podcaster is cringe. I’ve been vegan for 15 years. It’s not rocket science .
Re : the seed oil thing you scoffed at:
The oils extracted from soybeans, corn, cottonseed, safflower seeds, and rapeseeds must be refined, bleached, and deodorized before they are suitable for human consumption.
First, seeds are gathered from the soy, corn, cotton, safflower, and rapeseed plants.
Next, the seeds are heated to extremely high temperatures; this causes the unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds to oxidize, creating byproducts that are harmful to human and animal health.
The seeds are then processed with a petroleum-based solvent, such as hexane, to maximize the amount of oil extracted from them.
Next, industrial seed oil manufacturers use chemicals to deodorize the oils, which have a very off-putting smell once extracted. The deodorization process produces trans fats, which are well known to be quite harmful to human health.
Finally, more chemicals are added to improve the color of the industrial seed oils.
I would be interested in seeing you do a video on the science/health of seed oils. I've really only seen them be spoken about negatively online recently.
