went vegan after taking AP environmental science in hs and have been vegan for 8ish years now! it’s def hard in the beginning but gets better once you have core ingredients/knowledge to fall back on
omg that class is why I went vegan too!
I kind of want to but having to tell everyone I'm vegan even when they didn't ask seems daunting.
The entire problem with people that are vegan (or other) is that they can never break their "diet" of being 100% vegan.
They will refuse to go to places or eat things (that they have eaten most of their lives and are some of their favorite foods) just to stay in their cloud.
If you went to someones house, they made you a great meal and all you ate of it was like the side dish or picked out bits of the food instead of eating it whole while drinking only water (or something else vegan) or complaining in general (because you're vegan), that's more entitled and wasteful than eating the already dead animal that you didn't buy, that was already cooked for you by someone else.
@@PuffTheMagicDragon11BAs a person whose been vegetarian for 10 years now I've learned to just cook for myself and bring my own food. You really can't expect people to cater to your dietary restrictions.
@@PuffTheMagicDragon11B- You're clearly protecting your own insecurities on a group of people that have nothing to do with you.
Some people have principles. Some of those people actually stick by them.
I went vegan back in 2020 after watching a film called Dominion. I went vegan literally over night, legit donated all non-vegan food to food pantry's and family members. Honestly it was super easy and actually really fun because, I practically had to re-learn how to cook and bake. I never saw it as a negative, I saw it more as an "ooo I get to to be a scientist in the kitchen now!" kind of vibe. FYI: most Indian and Mexican food is very easy to make vegan! When I talk to co-workers and family about my diet they are generally excited and astonished how many things are vegan as well as learning what things are very much not / what is actually in their food. The hardest part about being plant based is looking out for ingredients that "look" vegan. For example, everyone knows gelatin is made of bones, but when you see confectioner's glaze you think "oh like powdered sugar" when in reality it's made of resin secreted by the female lac insect. So in short, being vegan / plant-based is relatively easy just read your food labels really carefully.
Preach, I share same brain with you
Going vegan is really easy if you know why you do it. Its weird how people can just detach from committing horrible acts of violence towards animals and the be against animal cruelty
Kinda crazy to see that Aunt May survived getting merc'd by the green goblin.
Dried pasta often has no eggs. Fresh pasta can be with or without eggs. Pasta with eggs is normally used for ravioli and similar stuffed pasta and some long pasta like tagliatelle (not spaghetti). The label should say if it has eggs in it, but you can also recognize pasta with eggs by the strong yellow color
chickpea or lentil pasta is good,also beans,black rice etc
Best advice I can give for going vegan is trying to make your favorite foods but vegan. It makes the change super easy and comforting so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything. First thing I made was Shepard’s pie and it helped a lot. Good luck!
vegan of 8 years & i fully endorse this. eat faux mac & cheese at least once a week 💀
vegans cant eat vegetables though, the amount of fauna killed to make and maintain a plot of veggies would put together in bio-mass about 1,000 cows worth of protein alone. So that leaves you with water, you could make a nice water pancake i guess.
how do you make a dish made of animal vegan and not miss out on having real actual literal not fake not subpar, at least as good as expected meat?
Oooo like masalas and currys
I’ve been vegan since I was 8 (22 now), for me it’s kind of the opposite, I had a period where I just stopped enjoying food somewhat recently, started cutting out all the processed substitutes, and then most of the foods that are what I call trying to vegan, and eating more stuff that doesn’t try to be vegan but just is, there are so many cultures with lots of food we can eat, if the substitutes don’t work for you, start exploring other cultures and other foods, there’s so much to learn and enjoy!
I've been vegan myself for about 2 years and it was overnight after watching Dominion and Cowspiracy.
It's really a pain at first and powdered milk is your enemy, but after a few weeks you figure out which products you can buy. It's all a question of habit.
And also very important! Pay attention to vitamins such as B12 etc. It's best to take an all-in-one supplement. If you're not already doing it anyway
The good part is that you have to learn about food. Real food.
So proud of the direction you're headed in. I appreciate how thoughtful and transparent you are being instead of jumping into it blindly -- realistically it's about easing into it slowly not just for habit but also for your gut microbiome.
I'm super excited for January now!! Been vegan for 3.5 years and not going back. Keep up the good and kind work Maya!
lmao if the UK were to be gone with a finger snap, only 3 percent of carbon emissions would have been saved. there's your reference.
so if you think what you're doing is beneficial... lmao
the number of animals eliminated just to maintain vegan related farms is quite hilariously high.
Equate, a Walmart generic brand, has a pea and quinoa plant based protien powder that is very good. Although, I mix it in fat-free milk, which isn't vegan but is extra protein, vitamin d, and calcium.
I went vegan, full fledged vegan, about a month ago. I had been thinking about it for months, and it was actually watching the stream where Daily Dose visited, and Maya just casually said "oh yeah, you understand because you're vegan", and for some reason that just made it click in my head that I could do it. Way, way easier than I thought it would be, and as a surprise bonus, I feel amazing. I watched a documentary about slaughter houses to really set it in stone. I think about Winnie a lot. Thanks Maya, you're making a difference.
got for it, being vegan feels great and is easier as expected. Be prepared to educate yourself about food more than before (which I found quite interesting)).
For a lot of people a gradualist approach works best. I was raised on health food, then went full vegetarian for a big chunk of elementary school/junior high, but then got some bad information in high school and switched to a diet of almost all junk food. After college, I tried going vegetarian again, but for some reason it was much more difficult than when I was a kid, and I’d slip up - there’s meat and fish literally everywhere - and then I’d get discouraged and not try again for months. So the trick, for me, turned out to be NOT getting discouraged after slipping up and having a tuna sammich, but instead telling myself “Oh well, at least I’m 95% vegetarian” and being happy with that. The slip-ups became rarer and rarer, and now I’m full vegetarian again, working on being vegan around 80% of the time, and increasing the stretches of time between when I accidentally eat cheese or ice cream or something. I figure I’ll be full vegan in another year or so! Just accept your own occasional slip-ups, I think is the key, rather than throwing in the towel and thinking “Ah, fuck it,” and going right back to a diet of hamburgers after the first little slip-up.
This is exactly my mindset, im pescatarian, but I have eaten meat a couple times for the past 2 years I have been. A couple of times it was entirely accidentally, and a couple times were purposeful either for craving reasons or due to being a struggling uni student and preferring getting a larger meat based product to a tiny plant based one. But it is what it is, its my diet and I'm happy with it! Beating yourself up wont do anything unless you know that if you don't you'll slip back into eating meat
there is vegan "cheese" like cashew butter
@@AlienTraveller9 - There is, but I’m a huge fan of cheese, and the vegan substitutes which aim to duplicate cheese mostly taste like rubber to me. However, instead of finding vegan cheese duplicates, I’ve had better luck finding vegan alternatives - in other words, vegan foods which are their own thing, rather than marketed as imitating cheese - and those can be pretty great: chickpea spreads, flavored extra-firm tofu, grilled mochi, and other yummy things.
I save a ton of money by not eating meat, so when I have caved and bought cheese, I’ve splurged for fancy French imports from farms where the cows genuinely roam free and wear little berets and are kept entertained with accordion music and Edith Piaf LPs. That is the nice thing about France, is they do tend to value and protect little family farms, and those often offer cows a happier life … but their cheese is *_pri_**-cey!*
I guess my hope is a day when genuinely humane pasture farm practices - happy cows roaming free and milked by hand - make cheese a humane choice … although artificially inseminating the cows would still be hugely problematic … maybe a farm which hosts all-natural consensual cow orgies? I would pay good money to stay at such a bed-and-breakfast: octogenarian _Madame,_ to your surprise, brings breakfast to your room wearing only a rustic apron, “Bonjour!” she cheerfully cries, flinging open the bedroom curtains, and - BOOM!! - outside, happy randy cows banging everywhere!!
That would be the life. 🥲
Two tips for yall thinking about becoming vegan:
1. There are some essential vitamins/minerals you can miss out on based on what you eat. If youre concerned, find a complete multivitamin.
2. You dont have to throw away all your non-vegan food, clothes etc. Dumping everything out to "start fresh" is a waste of food and resources. Its ok to gradually move into a Vegan lifestyle. In fact, Id strongly recommend it. 😊
.....I guess a 3rd point. If you fuck up and eat something that you later realize isnt vegan, dont beat yourself. It happens. Just keep doing the best you can. 👍
I started out with my vegan journey due to sustainability concerns. As I learned more it became way more about animal welfare.
I started by cutting out red meat, then most meat. I never liked fish much so I didn’t have to worry about that. Cheese came last due to being a broke college student living off pizza…but eventually replaced that with rice and boatloads of tahini.
Maya - thank you for sharing your steps towards trying for a veganuary! Working up to it and finding alternatives to your go-to meals is a great way to help making transition!
I went vegan about 3 years ago and my health and piece of mind has never felt better!
Can you explain your "piece of mind"?
This reminds me of the South Park gluten episode
yea until you have to go the hospital to get pills to survive because of the nutrient deficiency that vegans have
or they end up eating fish which is still still meat.
Love your channel and really don't care what you eat as long as you stay healthy. Love from Canada.
This comment section will be really wholesome
or it'll be derailed by colliding worlds lol
Been vegan over a decade. Was vegetarian at the time, but I did go vegan overnight after seeing videos of milk and egg factory farms. Really not hard once you get over the initial hump of doing your research and finding new foods. First note, as many people have said, is that storebought dried pasta is almost always going to be vegan -- only non-vegan thing I see in pasta aisles is egg noodles. Second, people worry about protein too much! It's incredibly easy to include protein in a plant-based diet with nuts, soy products, and all kinds of beans. Most nutrients can be gotten fairly easily (even iron and calcium, which people also commonly express concern over) if you just do your research and eat the right foods; the only one that's usually problematic is B12, which can be easily supplemented. That being said, there's obviously no issue with protein powders, but you probably won't _need_ them if you're only using them because you're worried about protein lost from not eating meat/eggs/dairy.
Good luck to Maya, I'm glad she's doing this!
I went Pescatarian on a whim one day and within a year transitioned to vegetarian. I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare as a kid and this was one way to prove it to my younger self that I still cared.
It’s been almost 8 years and i don’t particularly have any interest in trying meat again
Yehey! Thank you! I have been vegan for 12 years now (for animal rights reason) and not turning back. And seriously even if people don't really like many animals, it's helpful for the environment and the future generations deserve it. I don't take protein supplements (in my earlier years only but not really for long). I just eat beans, lentils, tofu (also TVP) and leafy veggies. Protein substitute had never really been an issue for me even when I was based in the Middle East and I was talking about a few years ago when substitutes were scarce and the word "vegan" wasn't that popular in that area.
omg i'm so early, first time ever. alveus is my favorite
I went vegan like 4-5 years ago, and it’s pretty easy where I live. Most of the supermarkets stock plant-based alternatives. I eat a lot of the same meals, just vegan versions, and for real half of them taste better than what I used to eat (I might have just gotten better at making food)
It does take a little bit of practice to learn which brands are good and what you can replace things with and sometimes finding a place to eat while out is annoying.
Before going vegan pretty much all of my meals included some chicken, cheese, or eggs. Swapped to fully vegan over the course of a month or so
People always say they could never give up cheese but that just sounds kinda pathetic to me, like it’s just a tiny part of what you eat, you’ll be fine. I think people are too addicted to luxury anyway
Ora Organic has great plant based protein powder and collagen! It’s pricey but might be worth taking a look at! 😊
Have been trying to go full vegan for 3 years. I'm _almost_ there, still eat protein yogurts with milk in, but that's it, and going to try to switch to buying protein to put into soya yogurts.
personally i would by those pants as merch they are cool. i luv da beetle
it's been over 10 years for me being vegan ... beef .. to only chicken to only fish and then eggs and now none.
always get enough calories .. always switch up what you are eating and try new stuff to keep it interesting
in your first month your mind will feel more clear
huel is vegan protein and I love their salted caramel flavor! It tastes like a dessert for me and when you mix it with yogurt it tastes like cheesecake, so it could also be good with vegan yogurt potentially. Good luck with the plant based diet!
You can have leather stuff just don't buy more :) great to hear she's trying Veganisim. Hopefully it lasts!!! :D
Fake leather is actually worse for the environment as well. Animals aren't usually slaughtered for leather the leather is a bi product industry.
Imo The main idea of not buying leather is to set the president that animal bi-products are off-limits. While animals aren't slaughter just for leather, by buying leather products you are still funding the industry that does slaughter animals. There is still a demand for leather products, so animals are slaughtered with the biproduct in mind@@missbeaussie
@@missbeaussie leather is a co-product and it makes breeding cows into existence more profitable. This means that buying leather cannot be disconnected from the environmental impact of raising cows.
Consider also that turning animal skin into leather requires the use of toxic chemicals that contribute to pollution.
Maya as a bug lover what are your thoughts on bed bugs and other parasites
"You wanna hear something crazy? Bedbug reproduction. So bedbugs have a stabby penis, right? And they don't even aim for female genitalia, they can just stab her and inseminate her anywhere on her body, because there are canals in the carapace to take the semen where it needs to go. Crazier, 50% of the copulation they do is homosexual, 20% is cross species, and only 30% is with female bedbugs. Now, it's a common myth that bedbugs can't tell between male and female bedbugs - WRONG. You see, what happens is when a male bedbug inseminates another male bedbug, that semen goes into the male and gets combined, so when that male inseminates another female or male they get a combination of both. So, the bedbug that stabs the most things the fastest - and they can copulate 200 times a day - has the best reproductive success.
But it gets crazier. There's a tropical species of bedbug that can shoot semen several centimeters. Now these bedbugs are only a centimeter long, so I did the math, and it's about the equivalent of a human male at 6 feet tall shooting 8 gallons of semen and shooting it over 12 feet. But remember how I said how they can inseminate anywhere in the female's body? They shoot it with a velocity to pierce the carapace of the female - it literally snipes her, from centimeters away. So, 6 foot tall man, 8 gallons of semen, 12 feet away."
It's been 84 years
3:42 vegan talk. Beans!
Maya looks so pretty !!
Great video.
I always recommend more short traveled veggies and fruits. Be informed about where your produce comes from so you can make an educated choice, the distance your raw ingredients travel can drastically change the size of its carbon footprint
I like your flowers and butterfly.
..this is where it gets strange to me in that part of the world... Taking shakes, taking supplements in a chemical processed form, and thinking that it is human lifestyle to consume these food. You have abundant fruits, veggies ...real carrots, real apples, real oranges, real celery, lettuce, spinach, real tomatoes, avocados, real oven that you can buy-bake potatoes, sweet potatoes, ; ..you have assortments of nuts (almond, cashews, pecan, cashews,, unless you developed allergy already) , dried fruits, that you can even maybe buy sourdough breads, dipped in EVOO....but yet, prefer to drop 3-5 spoonful of protein powder enforced with vitamins and whatever super powers in water and drink that as near-real-food ?...
Have your youthful body absorb "real" food, before you can't even absorb more when you start aging late in 50s++...
Jeezus
The biggest challenge for me is having the right genetics to be vegan, no alternatives i have tried seem to agree with my body, so i had to be a little selfish
mushroom lives in the office? what happened to newt? sorry haven't tuned in in a while
Newt passed away I believe
Newt died. Both the ferrets were very old. She got them as rescues.
Some people ask me how I became vegan (or 'plant-based' technically) and I tell them that it was 13 years ago and I can't remember how 😂. It's unfortunate because I would like to give good advice. I went cold turkey, but I think my advice would be to maybe go 'vegan' half the week and then eat normally the rest of the week (i.e. Don't indulge). Then every month, take a day away until you're completely vegan. I heard that works for some people. But everyone is different.
Pog
I feel bad for the ppl missing out on meat.
Evryone should just respect eachothers choice to eat what makes them happy.
yeah it sucks so much missing out on abusing animals
@@SimplyChloe_ i prefer to enjoy good tasting food . It's a natural part of life untill we figure out how to survive without having to eat food. Hunting is an important survival skill. Where would you get your food if the supermarkets were no longer able to provide food for people?
@@SimplyChloe_ IMO I love animals i have a pitbull named Canelo . (He's my best friend) Given the opportunity i give my atenttion to any animal in need of help .
I'd say i love animals.
@@117SympathyForTheDevil I don’t think you understand that hunting isn’t the common way to get meat now there are slaughter houses that’s where most of your supermarket meat comes from, actually all of the meat that you eat from restaurants to supermarkets to fast food chains come from slaughter houses, they don’t come from hunting. And the way the animals are treated in the slaughter houses is inhumane and cruel not even mentioning the way that they kill the animals.
@@M00Leigh I don't think u understand I raise my own cows and they are treated well, we let them roam & even built scratching devices all over the property (Wich they love). Also deer meat is some of my favorite. During the right season I get my deer meat from hunting. It's an amazing experience. I do agree with you i'm not a big fan of slaughter houses. But if it wasn't for them ppl wouldn't get their food wich would cause society to collapse. As far as animal products untill someone comes up with a material strong enough to protect my feet or hands from withstanding a nail going through a boot or glove I won't stop using them while I'm on a job site building a house. Same goes for the material used for construction. I'm all for not using animals for products but untill science & technology catches up things won't change
What is it that looks so different about Maya in this video? Is it just the glasses?
She also dyed her hair a bit ago. Or maybe it's the bangs?
@@littlebirdy3545 ahh yeah it might be the hair, and combined with the glasses which I don’t ever think I’ve seen her wear she just looks different.
Dont let people tell you going vegan is hard, its just propaganda from the meat industry. Easy af, you just need to spend some more time in the grocery store for the first week and learn some new recipes, the you are set for life.
You're so cute I'd help you take care of all the animals and do handyman work
damn Maya's lookin good here am I right?
Must be the vegan diet
she looks pretty with make up
Why Vegan and not vegetarian.
Tldr: denying a (renewable) resource makes the other far worse instead use both and reduce the impact/ self regulate the production by researching where your stuff comes from. Rather than just blanket ones bad so other must be good when both are bad.
Plants require far more vehicle based maintenance, and require far more Diesel to produce than animals and far far more destruction of land and chemical pollution, (US does things not to best in emmissions for meat production in fairness).
Buying meats and produce (plants) responsibly in general is better than an exclusive diet as it reduces the demand and stress on a singular resource,
The demand for a plant exclusive diet inevitably calls for mass importation which on an individual level is your responsibility as you created this demand, due to changes in weather and water supply and to avoid importing we need artificial conditions we make is insanely worse for the environment than meat production as it leads to even more fossil fuels to be burned to maintain the conditions.
A bit of everything done well is better than hammering one thing as its inevitable that shady stuff will happen, like the 'organic' label on foods.
Whenever I hear about plant based Diets Its as if people dont think aquatic life is a thing (run off from crop fields even organically produced destroys rivers also illegal dumping of milk as both industries are bad) animal regulations mean that field boundaries have to be a certain distance away to prevent run off from animals damaging the rivers (the run off that occurs is far less).
Vegetarian using ethically and environmentally safe sourced animal products like eggs and milk is an option that is better for animals and the environment.
While valid all your points about negative effects of crop production have a major flaw: Most crops aren‘t used for human consumption, but for Animal feeding.
You also leave out the Animal welfare aspect completely. Most milk producing cows are kept perpetually pregnant to keep producing milk and it‘s Not Like they live out their life outside on a pasture all day.
@@jonash5102 thank you for not freaking out I was expecting any response to this to be insults.
American methods of production is far different to the rest of the world and really screws up the metrics like how America corn feeds or zero grazing feeding methods are terrible for quality of product and animal welfare its why its sold really cheap,
some ethical/ Deemed animal Friendly farms in America produce to a similar baseline standard to other countries which can also improve in this regard aka everyone can improve and continue to improve.
Free grazing paired automated milking parlours are a far better system for the cows which is made obvious when looking at the cows run for the parlours in the morning with zero outside encouragement.
For milk production at this point its a genetic issue like with Pugs and breathing issues. Cows and chickens now heavily over produce Which isnt their fault but also by not milking them it punishes the cows as the calves physically cant drink that much hence why alot of milked cows are also left with the calves until the weaning stage it doesnt really reduce the production.
for the continually pregnant point thats not a great measure and isnt exactly correct as cows arent only pregnant for milk production but also for meat.
You can overbreed cows and being pregnant is stressful which increases the risk for health. genetic issues and reduced quality of produce so its not in the interest of farmers to have cows pregnant all the time especially with how expensive it is to rent a bull (thousands if not tens of thousands),
How this is combatted is to have many cows and heavy regulation on welfare and product quality. Look up how much a cow can produce in one session so not an insane ammount of them.
Cows are pregnant maybe once a year if even and can produce for a very long time (10 or so months) in comparison to other animals and are retired after 2 or 3 years. Its better to say they are continually producing milk.
If the cow cant produce drinkable quality milk it wont be culled as that its a waste of time and money spent on it. It is often used for raising rejected/ orphaned calves, cows also dont have a massive lifetime (max 20 years but in reality 15) so the beef industry for lifespan which is about 4-6 is often thrown in to prove a point which is misleading.
Again Im not saying the meat industry is good at the end of the day if money is to be made dodgy stuff will happen no matter who it is
what's in the pipe bro
Vegan over vegetarian because that is what she chose to do. She is living her life in the way she sees best. You brought up a lot of points that I assume are well researched and come from a place of conviction. I have no doubt you are well meaning. But the reality is there are so many complicated variables in a food supply chain and different values when it comes to protecting the planet that it is literally impossible to come to an objective conclusion about what is “ better”. She is making a decision based on her values and knowledge that she believes will make a positive change.
I went vegan when i fell and broke my skull and my brain. Then my mom fed me some tacos and i am no longer drooling and vegan.
Whatever diet Maya has been on to make her the way she is…she should just continue to follow
i could never afford to be fully vegan. just cheaper for me to buy meat rice and so on to get my protein that way
Lol, it’s not more expensive. It depends on where you live and if you can buy raw bulk. Beans have LOADS of protein, plus protein isn’t actually as important as we once believed.
@@ericaallisoncprotein is super important. I agree that vegan diets can still get protein but don’t downplay the need for it. Protein is very important for tissue repair and growth and a lack of it can lead to muscle atrophy and anemia (both commonly seen in first-time vegans who do not properly plan a balanced diet)
@@cahan557 yup, not to mention if you work out you can easily multiply by 2.5 or 3 the amount of protein you need compared to someone who doesn't. Making sure the protein intake is on point is no joke, otherwise you'll ruin your health instead of improving it
Vegan is literally cheaper than meat... You don't have to buy fancy fake meats to be vegan you know? Rice are vegan, beans are vegan, lentils are vegan, chickpeas are vegan and so on... Also, I have no clue what's the meat price these days since I never bought it as an adult but I'm pretty sure tofu is cheaper too.
@@cahan557protein is a scam. It's important but it's legit impossible to not get enough of it unless you are poor in third world country or if you are a man child with some exceptionally silly diet like, for example there are some crazy people that are so obsessive with let's say pasta that 90% of their diet is pasta but it has nothing to do with vegans and is more of a mental issue. Most people, especially gym bros eats way too much protein than they really need. I was a sprinter and nobody was counting protein and other macros, coaches and assistants only cared about the balanced diet. And I am takiing about being a full time athlete. To me it's insane how nowadays a lot of normies that just try to get fit and only just go lift a little bit of weights are so excessively obssessed and make it at chore when it comes to macros where pro athletes are rather chill 😂
🧀🍖🍔🍕🥚🦞😋😋😋😋
Maya is thiccc
I think it's great that people want to go vegan but I would really question its environmental efficacy. Bare in mind that it was BP that developed the concept of the carbon footprint as a way to shift the onus onto the individual. That way, while we argue about avocados vs mussels or some shit, they can continue to operate as normal. It's political change that has the largest impact.
Obviously, I haven't been considering ethical arguments.
75% of farmland is used for animal agriculture and come with increased emissions, water usage, and eutryphycation as compared to plant based diets. Plant based diets are far and away more environmentally sustainable. It's just thermodynamics. Takes more energy to feed an animal then eat that animal, than to just eat plants directly. Google "oxford land use study".
@@MrTheoptimiserI'm not disagreeing with that at all I just think people view veganism as some kind of panacea when political change is far more important. Let's consider total anthropogenic emissions. Let's say roughly 9.7% of anthropogenic emissions come from fishing and livestock. I'm being generous here as I've included total deforestation in there as well. Energy accounts for 73.2%. In fact, in my country, the government recently agreed to allow access to large deposits of oil. Now, obviously campaigning and veganism aren't mutually exclusive but I think we tend to fall into this trap that the best we can do is change our diet or fly a bit less which is exactly what oil and mining companies thrive on. Doesn't matter how many vegans there are argentina when Milei doesn't even believe in climate change. Sorry, hope this long ramble made some sense haha
@bencutting146 veganism is an actionable change that outside of vanishingly small fringe groups, any individual can make. You're right to say veganism isn't a panacea, but climate can't be solved with it's exclusion. The UN even said that without a shift to a global plant based food system limiting climate change to manageable levels will be impossible. All justice movements work from the grassroots up. Political change (which I agree is essential) is impossible without the public being on board and advocating for it. Just quickly animal agriculture is the single biggest cause of deforestation. It needs space to grow crops to feed animals, and then for the animals themselves. Would mean the world to me I'd you googled "oxford land use study". Happy to talk about this more if you'd like. For my part I apologize for my lack of brevity as well haha.
veganism won't fix the world, but the world can't be fixed without veganism
I hope Maya goes vegan purely because she's finding different things she can eat that she enjoys that just happen to contain vegan things.
Not eating things that contain eggs or dairy is hilarious
Most people go vegan because they care about animal welfare… I lived in the dairy capital of the US, not only is milk really not that good for you, but is horribly abusive on factory farms. I’m not vegan, but even I can see how bad cows are for the environment… 😂
@@ericaallisonc There are 3x as many cows used for meat as there are dairy cows in the US. I stated dairy and eggs. Dairy includes cheese, yogurt, etc.
@@ericaallisonc "but even I can see how bad cows are for the environment… 😂"
I'm glad you have eyes.
I didn't think that was "😂" quality but then again I'm sure if you spoke one more time I would know exactly how you think based on your "Most people" and "even I can see" in the same comment.
@@ericaallisonc they're not bad for the environment. And milk is good for you
@@redfordreddington8834there’s nothing good about factory farming aside from the ability to provide a large amount of dense calories. It’s not good for anyone’s soul, any life, the environment, nothing.
Wait so is she implying she does wear products made from animals like leather? Can someone explain this to me? Feels like that's even less morally justifiable than eating meat
Leather is usually a byproduct. Most animals, not including reptiles are not killed purely for leather.
Being 100% vegan is almost impossible, there’s so many things that contain animal products
I don't understand this obsession with directly going vegan in the US, I hear about it all the time and how people fail, but how about you start with vegetarian? Seems so obvious lol. I never hear people say "I'm trying to go vegetarian". You just need to learn a bit about how to get your protein and vitamins/minerals (really not that hard with supplements, much harder if you only stick to regular foods though)
Quote from her bio "She talks about going vegan and her current vegetarian adventure."
Eat steak
Isn't eggs just chicken periods? why is that unethical
Some people believe animal farming cannot be ethical. The act of keeping chickens in some form of containment is unethical to those and so buying products that financially support them is enabling the unethical behaviour.
I think with the right regulations, chickens can have pretty comfy lives if they are only used for eggs (since they can have a large range, good food, protection from predators and medicine for natural complications/disease). Same for cows and sheep with milk and wool respectively, although unfortunately there are animals that we only use for meat such as pigs (if you don’t count truffles) which might not have a great time if the meat industry collapses. (I eat meat (avoiding beef due to higher climate change impact) although can understand why people choose to be vegetarian/vegan)
It's more to do with the way chickens in the egg industry are treated. Most of them are packed in together so tightly they can barely move, and they leave the lights on 24/7 to trick them into thinking it's always daytime so they'll lay more
from what iv'e seen, most people who go vegan do it out of without caring about logic... think about the difference between free range grass fed beef and soybeans... with the cows, the most you might do is give them an antibiotic if they get sick, but with soy oyou basically have to kill everything on that field that isnt soybeans... how is that better
@@unholysaint1987 Bro you're seriously undereducated in that field to be talking with such confidence
@@Thatonedere youre right... being raised on and around farms doesn't count, nor does having a cousin who runs the first certified organic dairy in the country, or the probably hundreds of hours of debates and documentaries on farming and their impact on wildlefe and the environment... im sorry, i withdraw my point
im not going vegan, i dont want to go bald
Eating meat causes hair loss but go off sis
so does veganism@@masi7831
Humans are omnivores.
humans are also born naked, you still wear clothes
ig im not human then

@@lordpelagius5078 you're not making sense
Go vegetarian, not vegan. The human body demands animal fat, especially for brain function. You dont need a lot of animal fat, but some egg or dairy will go a long way into making your plant-based proteins work more efficiently
no :)
@@SimplyChloe_ its okay if you want to be vegan, but the two nutritionists I've been referred to (for diabetes) as well as many studies you can find online suggest animal lipids are crucial for human brain function. That part is undeniable, regardless of your personal choices
@lanowyn "suggest" "undeniable" which one?
there are also many studies that show a vegan diet has 0 negative impact on health, if anything only positives such as lower risk of heart disease, cancers, and diabetes.
@@SimplyChloe_ saturated fat, simple carbs, hydrogenated oils, and generally speaking ultra processed foods are the lead suspects of contributing to diabetes. An egg, some cheese, or a natural yogurt once or twice a week will not give you diabetes
@@SimplyChloe_ oh and trans fats too, of course
Yo, dont do it. Medically, all end up eating fish for health reasons.
That's not true. But if someone wants to go pescatarian, more power to them.
Stupid comment
Not true. 😂
tell that to Anthony Fantano who's swole as fuck
@@DrRocket8775 Better example would be Clarence Kennedy. Insanely strong weightlifter who is fully vegan. He can squat 300kg+
You shouldn't go entirely vegan it isn't good for your health its good to have a mostly plant based but you should have meat from time to time .
What nutrient/nutrients do you miss out on by not eating meat?
This isn’t true, you can have a healthy and balanced diet without meat, you can have a shit diet while being vegan just like you can have a shit diet while not being vegan and you can also have a good healthy one
I eat 3-4 times the animal products to negate veganism
Being vegetarion i can get behind, but veganism feels unsafe and illogical
Why?
@@MrTheoptimiser evolition made us into omnivores, thousands of thousands years of adaptation to nature and suddenly we go cold turkey..yeah..thats sketchy as fuk. Milk products are suuuper healthy , giving them up is kinda susss
@OlgaUnKolhozs why is what we did in the past relevant to how we should eat now? Scientifically proven that a plant based diet is healthy for all stages of life, including infancy, pregnancy, and old age. The fact is we evolved from primates which are primarily plant based. Calorie density of animal products probably did help humanity survive in times of scarcity, but plants in fact are more nutrient rich. All longevity diets in the world are predominantly plant based. Animal products are associated with our biggest killers, namely heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. And no, milk isn't good for you past infancy when you should be drinking your mothers milk, not that from another species. 75% of the global population is lactose intolerant. Milk is high in cholesterol, fat, mammalian estrogen, and antibiotics, and we can see the countries with the highest milk consumption also have the highest rates of osteoporosis. You can get calcium from plants without all the downsides of milk.
"feels", maybe you can do some research and see what you think instead :)
@@SimplyChloe_ research sponsored by vegan product industry? No thanks. Everything is biased nowadays. Gotta believe in logic .
Give me a nice big fat, juicy hamburger and steak any day of the week to hell with veganism
okay
Ok Kevin, very cool
based
my worthless 2 cents... if its to help a specific medical condition, go for it... if its for ethical reasons, the suffering of animals, the environment, etc... you do you, but dont push it on anyone else
GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN GO VEGAN
I wanna embroid your middle pocket.
virtue signal gang
great another vegan teacher in the making.
id consider it but its just so bad for the environment. thanks for clear cutting our forests for gauc farms though !
Huh? much more forest is cut down to provide feed for cattle, you're plain wrong
@magemarshy guess you haven't heard about the US bourgeoisie's avocado demand that is causing Mexican drug cartels to take over the avocado growing industry which in turn is driving regular growers out of business by stealing their water rights and destroying previously uncultivated land.
So yeah, your avocado toast is not only causing major ecological damage but also societal damage and propping up crime syndicates.
But, hey, you're vegan, so it's okay.
yeah vegan is cringe. just eat what u want and be normal lol
What if someone wants to eat a vegan diet? cringe
k lol
