Another great video Hannah - hair color/cut looks awesome and so do you...your skin and makeup looks beautiful! Thank you for the continued inspiration.
Hannah you have conveyed your message so well and so clearly and with such openness from the start. What a beautiful circular moment. Thank you for you xxx
I’m so happy for your family! Can you take us grocery shopping with you or do a haul?
Beautiful Hannah✨Compassion, compassion and yes more compassion..is the what’s needed more than anything…that’s all we really want especially from our partners, husbands, love ones, society💓🙏🏽🌻!!!
This June I'll be 5 years Vegan and my straight up from Mexico mexican boyfriend who likes home cooked Mexican food eats meat. Now we live together and I cater to my man. My man will be my side through thick and thin, he's my provider, he's a family man and he's my best friend. My point being Veganism isn't going to give me all that so my partnership first then veganism. I'm vegan and he eats meat and we're madly in love. ❤
I think this applies to many different things in marriage ( more than just plant based) . Letting go isn’t always bad though. Thank you for the reminder! ❤️
This was articulated so beautifully 🧡
this is a great way to approach all kinds of differences! well said Hannah!
I've been very slowly becoming plant base for 7 years ! At first it was just '' let's have one meal without meat each week'', and I slowly added more. Last month, I ate porc at my sister and I did not like it at all. I felt very bad , physically and mentally. The day after that, I saw a movie with animal torture , I cried my eyes out and said ''that's it, i'm not eating meat anymore''. Last week we had a family reunion and they realised I brought my home made falafel instead of eating sausage. I told them I'm plant base. People had opinion 😆 Some were curious and asked genuine question and other were ''oh my god, your going to die, you need protein ''🤣 But it's ok, i'm doing what's good for me and I dont need to bring people on the good side of the force with me !!
I am still in the pretending to let it go stage with my husband lol happy for yall!
This is great news for your family! Your recipes are fun and great and I love so many of them. While I'm not a vegan/ plant base person, I do enjoy the food.🙂
Can’t wait for styling your home 🫶
It took my husband 13 years and now his vegan with his choice
Hannah-I love your hair!
Omg Hannah you're just so incredibly relatable! I'm in the same boat here, been vegan almost 7 years and when I first got with my partner, she was still eating meat. It's just such a gradual process. We've been together 3 years and she's probably 80% plant based now ❤
Love your haircut!!!
I remember the articule you wrote about being married to a non vegan, many years ago at your sisters mango island Mama blog:)
Hannah thankyou you have always helped me be more patient with my own husband he is also non vegan. I must say it has got harder with our two kids they are plsbt based starting to see what he is eating. How did you handle this with cosmo prior to your husband going vegan would cosmo want his food ect ? How dod you approach that ? I love how you said your relationship always came before your veganism so important ! So glad HD is now plant based ❤
Accepting our spouse differences out of respect helps so much. We can never change anyone. It has to come from them. But we csn give love support and acceptance and sometimes thats all they really need. 😅
Thanks Hannah..well said😊
I completely agree letting your spouse be your spouse no matter what. I have struggles however with the fact that we have kids together and we have differences in what they should eat and we can't agree on it. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on how to handle this?
He gives me hope for my husband. Mine might be a little harder. He’s a big guy worked out in the gym. Most of his life believes he’s got to have all of his meat protein. Good news is he doesn’t eat any dairy and he only eats chicken and not red meat and he actually eats some of my plant-based meals so you never know.
HE FINALLY WENT PLANT BASED!?! I can't believe this!
So helpful!!!!
Loved this. Lead by example is always the best way too go. There is nothing more off putting than a militant vegan.
Love your hair Hannah.
There is nothing more off-putting than a vegan who tries to make activists feel bad for doing effective outreach. Showing people that their actions don't align with their moral values is really important and people will call you militant for being sincere and honest. Nothing wrong with passionately defending animals from abuse.
@@GoVeganForTheAnimalI see your point about passion, but I think realistically while it’s important to raise awareness and not let things sink too far back, human beings are naturally very defensive creatures, especially when it comes to decisions that feel personal, and subconsciously make them feel like they’re defending their whole family, or their loved ones, from being labelled as immoral or bad. It’s so natural for people to not respond well, to being called a murderer 😂 The style of activism where you’re constantly placing animals feelings over your friends or families, or constantly redirecting every conversation to one about your message etc, can be very off putting and can distance you from people in your life who feel berated. You can only help change the bad habits of people in your life… if they’re in your life, and you don’t drive them away. Of course, this method gets through to some people, but realistically in the blur of human life with all the struggles and obstacles we already face day to day, sometimes a softer approach is so appreciated, and more effective in the long term.
Hello from Boise Idaho ! My husband is not vegan , we had the same struggles we were married first and I found vegan after 6 years marriage and after my son was already accustomed to an American diet . With my son being such a picky Eater and having bad gag reflexes as well as food texture issues , I do allow him to still eat non vegan items , but I do limit a lot . My husband gives our son non vegan food and I usually bite my lip and now my son is 10 so I want him to choose , and sometimes he will ask mom is this healthy or is this vegan and I’ll tell him no and he will choose to eat anyways and sometimes he doesn’t. I hope that me showing him through example of what I’m eating will help him make better decisions later in life , also I’m teaching him how dos he feel when he eats certain foods and to pay attention to that. It hurts that my husband isn’t on the same page but I’m not going to let like you said my convictions ruin my relationship with my son or husband , they are there own person and I can only walk my path . I hope he eventually comes around like your hubby! Blessings to your family from mine !!!
I agree with you in that the different definitions of “vegan” and “plant based” are useful. I always say I grew up plant based because in terms of doet, we ate little to no animal products (less than 5%), but we still used leather, wool, went to the zoo, etc. Even though I’ve never eaten a diet high in animal products (I was pescatarian, then vegetarian, then plant based again), it wasn’t until I was a mature adult that I finally made the moral/ethical connection and committed to stop supporting animal exploitation altogether.
I've always had digestive issues too. I am not fully vegan, but have upped my plant based intake and decreased the other. Hubby and teenage son are huge meat eaters.
I've found whenever I eat lots of plant based I get so bloated and uncomfortable just the same. I'm at a loss, but I keep educating myself and trying. 😊
That's because you need meat. Eat a meal of plain steak and you won't bloat.
I feel this is so important 🤍 Thanks for sharing and being open and honest
I love this video so much. I resonate with everything you talked about. I’ve been vegan for almost 7 years out of the 9 years we’ve been together (just got married two weeks ago!) and he’s been supportive with the occasional jokes but I joke back too sometimes. It can create friction but I think watching each other blossom into who we are is amazing. My now husband also doesn’t eat any dairy ice creams or cows milk. And that’s a big deal! He does eat the vegan meals I prepare but I still cook non vegan meals for him because how fair is that if he’s working all day and he can’t come home to a cooked meal that he enjoys, besides the occasional vegan meals I throw in each week. Anyway, it’s all a balance! If you truly love your partner, nothing will stop ya! 😊❤
If you truly love animals you won't cook up their body parts for someone who is too spineless to stop eating them after learning what happens to them behind closed doors. Remember the victims, your husband is a bully to animals and it's important to show him that regularly.
@@GoVeganForTheAnimal i understand your frustration, I think all of us who respect animals and the earth do. But how can you sit there behind your screen and tell someone that the love of their life (who is a wonderful person) is a bully and spineless. You don’t know what he knows and what he doesn’t know. He hasn’t felt the desire to inform himself on the realities of animal ag aside from what he learned about dairy. He came to the realization on his own when I was breastfeeding our son. You can’t force someone to view your perspective. You can’t force someone to your views. Now THATS a bully and we all have to make these choices for ourselves. There is so much more needed for some people to make that big lifestyle change. Whether that is for the animals or health. Some people go vegan overnight (me) because their heart has so much space for our world and the inhabitants of it. And some people, it takes years, even decades or more to go vegan due to their perspectives, environment, and lifestyles. It’s not as easy for some, and that’s okay. Because that is historically how all things evolve. Overtime. If you think calling names and bullying other people about, “if you’re not vegan, you’re a horrible person” is going to do anything for the animals then you have a lot to learn still. You need to meet more people and gain perspective. Let’s EVOLVE, and not be so desperate. Trust me, I understand the desperation thinking about the animals suffering… but… this is not the way to change the world.
Could you tell us what was agreed regarding Cosmo before Eric decided to be plant-based? Was he ok with raising Cosmo vegan or did you have to compromise and agree to let Eric give Cosmo non-vegan food at times? Navigating a vegan/non-vegan relationship is tough but when you add children to the mix it's even more so and it would be very helpful to know how you successfully managed it.
I think in a previous video she said they agreed to raise Cosmo vegan even when Eric wasn’t.
@@joannejalan Thanks. That was great of him. Many non-vegan partners wouldn't agree or would renege on the promise after a while like mine did, and it makes things so much harder.
"You have to put your relationship above this conviction of yours" I think this kind of advice encourages otherwise activists to be soft and not have as much of an impact.
I showed my wife the truth about how animals are treated for meat dairy & eggs. After a year she was still eating animals. I expressed I don't want to spend the rest of my life with an animal abuser and that I don't understand how someone I used to think was kind and compassionate could put animals through this for a sandwich.
The lives of animals are more important than your marriage, be honest with your partner and hold them accountable for when they are being jerks.
I clicked REAL fast. I remember when you mentioned/ explained why you and hubby were okay with the two lifestyles in the one family. Not gonna lie, happy to see he changed and grew into it. Love love love the non-pushing part of the story of course ❤
Instead, of course, I'm really happy for her, but it was really interesting watching a family which such a respect for each others different choices.
Obviously I will continue to watching her in her family's evolution and because she is a boost of energy, positivity and gratitude
I’m not married, but I found the dichotomy of a non-vegan husband & vegan wife very useful in handling my own non-vegan friends and family. Hannah’s example of giving Eric space and just focusing on her own life was useful to me.
@@user-no2mz9hl4f very useful for sure...as her captivating recipes even for omnivores
What is this obsession with putting the feelings of other people above the billions of animals that are decapitated each year? You can wait years for someone to go vegan and they never will, if you have difficult conversations they are more likely to see the victims of their actions and go vegan.
You really do see being vegan as a religion
Enough to have malnourished children. I really hate that Eric has succumbed to this foolishness.
It’s a philosophy which is pretty similar to a religion. Some people think Buddhism is a religion while others say it’s more like a philosophy, for example. They are closely related and that is fine. And what would be the problem if it were a religion anyway? Is religion inherently bad?
@@cantocant2346really hate that you’ve succumbed to your own foolishness! 😂 Not sure why you’re here
@@victoriamorgan2039 Every now and again, it's good to let people know the dangers of the vegan diet especially with children.
@cantocant2346 there are no dangers. Post your blood test, height and weight. I bet that you are a SAD diet eater and are threatened by health without animal flesh.go to a hospital, no vegans but alot of meat eaters.
Thank you for sharing this Video, you are so, Lovely and Funny at the same time, have a Wonderful, day, love, Diana Lipski a 12 years Vegan Lady and I love this Loving Lifestyle ❤️

Once you let The Lord in, there’s only peace. God bless everyone here 🤍
Happy for you ❤
I want to hear from him on how it made him feel 15:16
This gives me hope for mine haha. I was like you, so hot headed with my husband when I first went vegan. Now I just focus on myself and remind myself that he’s on his own journey. I wish i could say that I can see him going vegan one day, but I feel like hell would have to freeze over 😅😅😅
You are glowing.
Yes people will only change if it comes from another source. That source can be their loved one showing them how abusive the meat dairy & egg industry is toward innocent beings. I would propose not listening to Hannah in this case, she chose what is comfortable for her, not what is best for the animals.
❤
I’m sure with Eric going vegan there will be a bit of a financial change in not having to purchase two sets of food for every meal
I Believe she never allowed meat and poultry into the home and my understanding is that he ate vegan at home but ate what he wanted out of the house. I could be wrong though!
Does he regret it in a way of feeling bad that he ate animals or that his body doesn’t feel well? I wonder if he regrets it due to not feeling well if it is because he is eating a restaurant meal versus a home cooked meal not because animal products made him feel bad.
Also, I have to disagree with you on labels. I hate labels. I think they hold us back in life and can cause us to be a bit closed off.
I watched this while I ate a steak. FYI, hunting isn't cruel. No more cruel than the animals you kill but don't eat. :-)
I had held out hope that Eric would feed the boys animal products so they could grow properly but now even that hope is gone.
Wierd that both her and her sister are now cross eyed
What’s happening to them? Is this one the older one? How old is she? I thought they used to be my age back when I first started watching but idk 🤷🏻♀️?
@@eyehaveallergiesI think they’re in their mid to late thirties
So much misinformation in this video. Sounds like a divorce waiting to happen.
I think it’s so important to acknowledge that one can be ethical and want animals to be treated well and not be vegan. I personally eat meat and also love eating healthy plant-based foods-that’s what’s best for my body. I also feel very sad about how animals are treated and try my very best to buy my meat from grass-fed and finished cows and free-range wild chickens as well as salmon and
tuna that is not farm raised and has low mercury levels. I personally believe it’s ok to eat meat. I am very sensitive to animals. I know some may think this cannot exist and eat meat but I say it does for me. I believe in God and in the bible meat is a pleasant aroma to The Lord. I think it’s ok to feel different things and not argue but accept that others feel differently than I do. I know many may be angry by my comment here and I respect your feelings. but I am a subscriber and I have my own reasons for being here. I don’t need to be quiet though because it may offend someone. I am able to feel how I feel and have understanding for how my thoughts may bring out your own emotions. Both are ok. I love Hannah’s healthy content and her products. I use matcha and non-toxic cleaning supplies. Healthy living is a huge passion of mine. 🩷
