    Robert was one of the first vegans I discovered online after going vegan in 2007. His bodybuilding and fitness site was one of the best resources at the time, as it showed that a vegan diet doesn't make you weak, contrary to the popular belief. The forum was a great place for finding other vegans too.

    Yeah, I started eating one avocado and three mandarin oranges for lunch. They cost $3 from a small grocer at the Municipal Market in Atlanta. I used to spend $2 or so for two dollar menu sandwiches from McDonald's around 2005.

    Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based.
    Go vegan for the animals.
    Go vegan for the planet.
    Go vegan and be healthier and happier.
    A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals.
    Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style.

      About three interviews in, several hundred interviews ago, I knew I would be eventually doing a documentary about raising children vegan. So recently I've started working on a website to complement this direction. It's still in development but if you want you can go there and join and share a bit to help others realize this potential and get inspired!

    Loved the motovational camp in the end but here I have to join Gary Yourofsky in his last speech and exit from the media:
    Extract and quote:
    "Besides obsessing about THEIR own image, and narcissistically making sure there’s an imaginary halo over THEIR head at all times, their main form of “activism” is attacking anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of humanity, especially if they refuse to do yoga sun-salutes on a beach before exchanging energy-hugs with unbathed hippies in a Woodstock-like drum circle gathering of uselessness!"
    My observation as a vegan and I understand how Gary feels.
    If you dont sit in the circle that play the tribal vegan drum and join the circle of YOGA sun worshippers you dont feel welcome and are not welcomed in the group even though the Vegan Definition of Ahimsa and do no harm is the MAIN focus of your lifestyle.
    Gary is right. Vegans who force their tribal drum of meditation and yoga are forcing that religion on other vegans. Then its not entirely about the animals but about the yoga meditation religion

      Right on, I totally get what you're saying and I agree and love Gary's perspectives but at the same I'm not exactly sure why you're saying this here. Did this video in particular make you think this? My channel in general covers the diversity of veganism which I hope normalizes it for every walk of life, at least I hope it does...

    Go vegan for the animals? You and your fellow vegans are going to raise and take care of farm animals, if people stop eating them? KIND OF EXPENSIVE, not to mention the hard work. And there are still traditional farm animals which live in very good conditions, and are well taken care of, until they are slaughtered. Some particular, and special kinds of top quality meat come, precisely, from those animals. More expensive, of course. Anyway: Hipocrisy full force. Reminds me of some "humanist" friends that I had, few years ago: "Refugees are welcome! As long as they are not brought to my neighbourhood." Lol.

      Well considering that 200 million animals are slaughtered every day and forced back into existence based on demand, as demand goes down forcing them into existence goes down. It's amazing you didn't think of that. And because it requires so many animals to be forced into existence for people to eat them, it uses excessive amount of resources and land which is why in the '70s the government incentivized concentrated animal feeding operations of which thousands are crammed into a very small area, the most atrocious living circumstances. And their waste fills up anaerobic lagoons that are toxic to surrounding communities, create aquatic dead zones, and this industry is so invasive it uses 80% of agricultural land but only results in 20% global food intake leading to deforestation, desertification, one of the leading causes of anthropogenic climate change, while creating the most violent jobs, emerging zoonotic diseases, all to perpetuate business as usual for an infantile habituated behavior that ultimately results in increased risk for chronic disease and all cause mortality compared to whole plant foods that are more sustainable, better for the environment, offer healthy, safe non-violent jobs, produce the healthiest and most abundant food in the least invasive way using the least amount of resources, the least amount of packaging, the least amount of land while resulting in 20 times increased global food intake. I don't know why anybody in there saying right mind would want to foster a future of concentrated animal feeding operations and slaughter houses instead of peace gardens and greenhouses.

      @@VeganLinked Such informations don't contradict mine. Because I'm being rational, balanced and objective. So you just run away from the argument, like a politician, and start talking about the narrative you are comfortable with. I'm not a dogmatic radical, like Vegans, who won't even eat a slice of cheese made out of the milk of the happiest cow in the History of Mankind.

      @@HeathenDance Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that you think you actually made a valid point? Somehow you think you're completely irrational scenario that totally negates supply and demand and the fact that these animals are forced into existence within an economy that completely depends on that supply and demand, you think suddenly somebody's going to just magically pull the plug on demand all at once in such a way that supply will just keep the rape racks mindlessly rolling on bovines and porcines?
